Coming off four days of somatic training and deep internal work, I’m emerging with a renewed clarity: conflict is often the space that reveals our conditioned tendencies—the patterns that can so easily cloud connection and create unnecessary friction. I’m practicing leaning into what’s being reflected back to me, noticing where I tighten, where I avoid, and where I’m invited to shift as part of my own healing. My question for this community:What are you learning about yourself right now? And how is that learning either supporting what you care about—or getting in its way?

As we continue this journey together, I’d love to invite a moment of reflection. What are you practicing right now—and how is it serving you? Maybe it’s… a grounding ritual, breathwork, nature walks, somatic tracking, journaling, boundary setting, slowing down, reconnecting with joy, or simply remembering to pause! I am practicing Jo, centering and daily sit practice. We embody what we practice,

Healing is connecting, being fully me in my unique embodying of who I AM. Healing is my body, mind and soul open to grounding, dancing and elevating. Healing is being free of pain physically, mentally emotionally and spiritually. Healing is feeling and hearing my heart as it pounds in my chest. Healing is sharing space breathing, gathering truths, burning lies, watering seeds, opening to the power in me and others to reciprocity, love and wisdom.💚🦅🌀

As I continue on my somatics journey I am becoming more committed to the practice of centering. This bringing our whole body online fully and centering in my commitment gives depth and meaning to the practice. Centering for the sake of getting present, open, connected and on purpose brings more choice to the moment. Do you have a practice that helps you ground in your purpose?

I have been considering what healing looks like for me. For so long I believed it was a destination or an accomplishment. And yes, to some extent I am “in a different place” than 5,10,15 years ago. But as a new therapist supporting healing in others, I think I see healing as a practice. It is non linear, and multilayered. My healing one day could look like holding boundaries, and another day could look like treating myself to something. I don’t have to get anywhere, but rather I want to stay in the now more fully.
