Find your center
In a time when we all crave transformative information and have it at our fingertips, we need practices and mentors to help us integrate and organize that information. We also need to be seen as a whole human and encouraged, lovingly, to step into a life of meaning and fulfillment. I’ve developed a process to re-align to your center and your purpose.
Self awareness is only the beginning
Bring all of you, not the parts and pieces
The Moving Center
Moving center is related to embodiment and movement. It is located in the core and it organizes our movement into meaningful action. It connects us and takes us from being arms and legs floundering around to an integrated moving center that is more powerful and adaptable.
Our body is part of the matrix of our being-the 3-dimensional self. We store our life in our body. And as Trevor Hall sings…"how are you gonna get free this time? It’s in and through the body."
I like to explore our relationship to space and gravity, pathways of weight, organs and glands and flow states. Body awareness is my main focus with any practitioner, client or student.
Once we have an understanding of where we are in space and how to ground and centralize our movements our nervous system can regulate and feel more safe and at ease. We can tap into our true nature which is versatile, adaptable, powerful, and fluid.
Outer vision requires inner awareness
The Feeling Center
Feeling center is our emotional intelligence and awareness. This is the heart. The courageous feeling human heart. Learning about the wisdom of our emotions and how that maps out in our body is essential to move things in and through us so nothing gets stuck. My teacher Douglas Brooks said the only violation in life is to be stuck.
Emotions have chemical signatures and learning how to feel and where they are located then gives them a life span (birth, life, death). When we feel our emotions fully and learn to map them it makes us more compassionate and kind. But this does not weaken us.
Our heart has an intelligence that is greater than the mind. What the mind cannot understand…we offer it to the heart. The human heart has tremendous capacities to heal what feels irreconcilable in the world and in our mind.
After body awareness, emotional awareness can be mapped and wielded as a way to honor our deepest knowing. We can develop an inner listening that can guide us into the more true aspect of our heart’s desire.
Living with whole-heartedness is the aspiration of this focus. It’s not to be a push over but it is to be fully human and more alive and feel what you feel…we just don’t get ruled by our emotions. We use them as truth-tellers and allow that wisdom to guide us into a more authentic life.
The quality of your attention changes you and the world.
The Perception Center
Perception center is located in the brain/mind. Our mindset dictates so much. Our beliefs dictate what kind of world we live in. Our core beliefs in who we are, if we are safe, and what we deserve shape our perception of the world around us.
Often we have outdated maps that served us and got us to where we needed to go safely, but they no longer represent who we are and where we are in our life.
Compassion, meditation, and rewiring your nervous system through mindful movement, reflection, and contemplation are all ways we can begin to lovingly scrutinize our tendencies and our maps of the world. Our perception in our reality.
How's your mind? Your body? Your heart?
You’re so not okay with just slugging through your day waiting for things to spark your interest and your heart awake. You’re ready to step onto a path that integrates your body (moving center), heart (feeling center), and mind (perception center).
