: ASK YOURSELF : Is this an opportunity to be compassionate with myself? So many of us knowingly or unknowingly, consciously or unconsciously, debilitate ourselves with our internal self-critic and it’s unending script of harsh words. Ladies, I know you feel me when it comes to body image.... Man, how’s that perfectionist work ethic coming along? Moms, are you exhausted enough yet? Healthy motivation can be beautiful and productive towards bringing the incredible work of our hearts into the world. But, what actually motivates you? Why are you doing the thing that you’re doing? What is your internal script about it? What do you think it will get you? Time? Money? Recognition? A partner? (Read: connection and safety) Are we overworking ourselves (mentally/physically), to the point of numbness or anxiety trying to get the things we think will give us that cemented connection to safety that we so desire? Take a breath. This rat race is not kind. Compassion; for ourselves, our bodies, and our minds that are constantly efforting to keep us safe and warm. .... No, really. Take that breath. Take *this* moment to let yourself recognize everything you’ve done; for yourself and for others, and everything you’ve accomplished up until this point.... let it sink in. Is this an opportunity to be compassionate with myself? Hint: there’s always an opportunity to be compassionate with yourself. . . .

- This is The Work. - Where does your Essence reside? What does it look like? Feel like? How does it move?... What does it say? How does it rest? Does it rest? Or does it constantly move, in a subtle wave? Where do you feel it in your body? Outside of your body? Or somewhere else? How does it connect to the Essence of others? Is it the same Essence or different? Let’s discover together. #selfdiscovery #meditation #connection #essence #tcm #inspo #quotes #love

It can be #selfdestruction or #selfmastery. How we choose and learn to balance and integrate structure & flow determines the quality of our lives. As an #entrepreneur or self employed person, everything moved through us. There is no one else to blame. There is no paid sick leave.... We literally create our own retirement, and dig ourselves out of debt. You’re the only one at the helm of your pivot, and that kind of #selfresponsibility and self reliance REQUIRES self mastery. We can do it sloppily, but who would really choose that? Sloppy looses money. The only ‘safety net’ is yourself, and the relationships you build and maintain. Which ultimately, also comes down to you. Tight ship. Strong rudder. Clear vision.

I literally have no pain in my body, anywhere. #best Patient Quote of The Day, ever. . This is Alex Shaner, @brokeneckbruddah. He’s ‘broke neck bruddah’ because he literally crushed his C-spine to the point that he could no longer use any of his limbs. Enter, Quadriplegia. .... Three years later, he’s now what they call a ‘#walkingquad’, largely due to his insurmountable determination to get his body back. . ‘Pain Free’ may be temporary, but on his long walk toward recovery, any significant reduction in tension, pain and spasticity is a welcome window of reprieve. . It continues to be a fantastic journey working with Alex, applying various treatment approaches and modalities to fit his needs, and watching at the magic of #ChineseMedicine work small miracles in the treatment room every week. . The path may be wobbly at times, but it gets smoother with every step. Looking forward to the next chapter of uncharted waters in integrative spinal recovery! . #pushthelimits #walkingquadriplegic #spinalcordinjury #acupuncture #herbalmedicine #integrativetherapy #bodywork #energymedicine #qigong #reikihealing #cupping #sci #healinghappens #miracleman #hardworkpaysoff #dedication #possibilities #painfree #painmanagement See more

We don’t push anymore. We allow. We listen. We hold space for, and transform. . We tap into the heart, and the body, and we listen. We love what we find there... regardless of what it has to say. . If that voice is filled with hate, or fear, or judgment, we simply notice - and ask why.... Then listen again for the answer in the next layer deeper of our hearts and minds. . We come to know, and love, and except ourselves in this way. . What is inside? How was it put there? Is it truly us? . Does that ‘us’ operate the way we want, and truly desire to live? . Is your internal operating system truly operating in ways that are best for you? . Is your internal operating system operating in ways that are truly best for you? . Is your life running in ways that are conducive to your health? Your mental health? Your physical health? Your emotional health? Your spiritual health? ...... if no, ask why or why not. .

#thebodykeepsthescore When you close your eyes and allow your awareness to fill the space of your physical vessel, what story does it tell? Are there voices telling a story? Sounds? Sensations? .Trapped emotions? ... If your skin could tell of every sunburn, or sensual touch, or sweet kiss... If your nose could tell of every sweet smell... Your tongue of every sweet taste, or of that time you got your teeth knocked in and tasted your own blood for the first time? It’s all in there. The cells remember. And with awareness and care, they can begin to live a different story. #trauma #recovery #integration #somaticexperiencing #acupuncture #bodywisdom #fullbodyalignment See more

Shame is appropriate. If you have NOT at some point felt a serious degree of shame, sadness (or at the very least disappointment) at the actions of our white ancestors and current culture, you are either miseducated, avoiding truth, or lacking compassion. . If you are white and compassionate but your are not at least using your voice on this platform, you are hiding in your privilege. Act. Now. .... (I did not run this piece by a person of color before posting. Because it’s *not their job*, especially not right now, to be coddling me. . If A PERSON OF COLOR sees that there need to be edits, *please* let me know. My intent is to be slightly triggering with my language.
