Our patterns live in our body

Embodiment is an incredibly important part of a spiritual journey.

Because the body doesn’t lie.

It holds our life force energy - and it also holds our wounds, memories and stuck energy.

So healing at the level of the body is absolutely foundational when we desire to experience a lasting transformation.

With my clients, I offer embodied coaching and also Energy Work sessions to address the experiences that are held in their body.

During an Energy Work session with a client last week, when I touched her feet it was like they wanted to shake me, destabilize me.

As I leaned in deeper - I heard the voice of her body say: ‘‘I’m not safe’’.

Now this voice is not rational, it hasn’t passed through the layers of understanding and putting concepts together from the mind.

It’s the voice that is held in the body.

And that voice doesn’t lie, it just is.

It tells us what’s present.

There are no masks, no pretense - no spiritual by-passing in the fact, in this case, that for this woman, there is a part of her that didn’t feel safe.

It’s neither good nor bad, it only tells us what we are working with.

When we tap into it - this voice can be soft like a whisper, and sometimes it’s incredibly loud like a scream.

A big part of this work of embodiment is to reconnect with that voice in our body - to hear it, to connect with it, and to offer it what it needs.

During the session, as I was touching my client’s feet, I invited her to feel into her feet, and notice what was present. After a moment, she told me she felt unsettled, something was ungrounded.

So I guided her to meet this feeling, this sensation.

Because I’m there, creating a present and safe space and using my nervous system to ground her - it makes it easier to tap into these uncomfortable feelings.

I invited her to hear what that part of her body wanted to say. And allowing that to be heard, to be met, to be connected with.

Emotions began to come up for her, as it often does during this moment of the session.

A release of the pain that was held there.

And gently, I invited her to bring to her attention a sense of inner safety, a sense that she was safe in her body, that she was present with herself.

Bringing groundedness, connection and calm to that part of herself.

So this session of Energy Work is certainly about receiving the energy but my client is also an active participant in the experience.

The reason is because I want her to know how to heal herself. I want her to know the route to that part of her body, and be able to connect to it and know how to bring the truth of her lifeforce energy to it.

This way she can keep practicing at home, and our sessions are that much more powerful until the pain is entirely transformed.
