Soul Connecting
COMING TO PONTE VEDRA/JACKSONVILLE JUNE 6TH-11TH!!!
Have you ever felt super disconnected from yourself? Maybe due to something external like a relationship ending or work stress. Or due to internal circumstances like sickness or lack of sleep. In contrast, have you ever felt so keenly aware of who you are, you actually feel more present, more grounded and more connected to everything around you? I’ve found that one of the key ways to make more space to feel connected is to quite literally take more space. To slow down and choose to be present. Even if it means dinner will take an extra 10 minutes. Or that walk will be over an hour.
Somewhere along the way in our world we became commodities. Only as valuable as we are able to produce, distribute or create without much opportunity to simply be. And the messaging has worked. It has produced one of the busiest, most profitable, most innovative civilizations who are also more burnt out, sick and depressed than ever. We aren’t products. We’re souls. And as souls, we need certain things to thrive vs survive. And that would require slowing down and listening to our bodies in a way that isn’t really championed in our culture.
I think that’s why my clients find it possible to connect with themselves in the studio. The very act of carving out 4 hours just for yourself positions your mind with ears to hear your heart vs a mouth to tell it what do. It opens those lines of communication between our heads and bodies when you simply breathe nice, slow and deep. It’s one of the reasons my clients talk about how they’ve “never seen pictures of themselves like this”. It’s because we are tapping into their inner path back to themselves. It’s a perspective that goes beyond where you’ve come from or where you’re going and becomes more about where and who you are in this present moment. A proverbial “you are here” for your soul.
I want to continue to weed and tend the path that leads back to my deepest self. Many times, I’ve let that trail become so overgrown, it took a lot of hard work and struggle to find it again. But once you access it, you’ll never want to turn back. When I fill my life with deep, healthy relationships and slow, grateful living, I am essentially tending to my path. Weeding out lies and nourishing the truths so they all point back to the center of my heart. I want the path well-marked and well-trodden. I want to get so familiar with it that I can find and traverse it easily-even when things get extremely dark. And I want the same for all the people around me. The more we can find that path in ourselves, the more space we make to thrive.
