“Remember it all passes, it all moves and shifts – yes, the entire world – but what remains is the beautiful truth: you are a microscopic aperture through which you, conscious awareness, observe & dance with all that is. Things are falling, yes, but other things are rising. And you, my love, you are all of it. What you experience is yours to feel. Feel it to completeness.”
― How to Feel: Reprogramming the Body After Trauma
― How to Feel: Reprogramming the Body After Trauma
“Somatic awakening opens us to feeling, sensing, and taking action. It allows us to abandon old ways of behaving that may be outdated or no longer in our best interest and to adopt new ways more aligned with personal values and well-being. A body in touch with its own being is alive to the moment and open to shedding old skin for new, aware, too, that such shedding, a dynamic process of our aliveness, is taking place subcutaneously regardless of our approval.”
