Vanakkam, dear hearts 💗 — as we step gently into our third gathering together, take a deep breath in… and feel the rooted wisdom of your body, your breath, your being. This sacred container we are co-creating is more than a class — it is a return. A return to nervous system literacy, embodied liberation, and ancestral reverence. In this space, we are exploring Polyvagal Theory not just through science, but through somatic storytelling.🌀 The polyvagal lens helps us understand how our nervous system navigates connection and protection — mapping the pathways of ventral vagal safety, sympathetic activation, and dorsal vagal withdrawal. Remember: DROP THE STORY BE WITH THE FEELING. The SAH Method (Somatic Activated Healing) builds upon this by inviting the body to speak in movement and stillness, in rhythm and pause — honoring every nervous system response as sacred intelligence. 🧘🏽‍♀️✨ Through somatic dance, we begin to move our medicine — befriending the body, tending to our edges, and expanding our capacity to feel safely rooted and vibrantly alive. 🌿 Before Our Third Session, Reflect and Share in the Comments Below 🌿 1. 🌬 How does your body tell you when it feels safe? Can you recall a moment recently when you felt deeply at ease — where were you, who were you with, and what were you doing? 2. 🌊 What does movement feel like in your body when you’re in sympathetic energy (fight/flight) vs. dorsal energy (freeze/shutdown)? How does it change when you feel connected or supported? 3. 🌺 What ancestral practices, rhythms, or rituals help you feel regulated and rooted in your truth? 4. 💃🏽 How has the SAH dance practice impacted your relationship to your body’s cues and boundaries? What insights are emerging? Comment on a couple others folks to witness and support. Can't wait to see you all next week!! As we prepare to dance, breathe, and expand together next session, remember:🪷 “Your nervous system is not broken — it is brilliantly adaptive.” Allow this journey to be a gentle return home.
