When thinking about where I hold connection to myself in my body I felt ease in my breath & extremities. I mostly felt neutral around my larger muscle groups and grounded into the floor through my feet. I quickly noticed where my tension lies in my neck and shoulders which is the case for me a lot of the time. I also have been more connected to my sense of self this week in enduring my menstrual cycle. I often find myself noticing sensations more especially when symptoms arise from my hormonal changes this time of the month. I would say today I feel most connected to my breath which bleeds into my sense of self a lot of the time. It’s a big reason why I use breath to ground me so often :) Thinking about these ideas instilled the concept of needing to be so connected to our bodies especially as women and listen to what our bodies need as it changes every single day.

Since we didn't have a group today to work with. I spend some time chatting about Foundations, connection to self, body, sensation, a little peak into "embodied wisdom" etc. A teaching moment for today. Please comment anything you found helpful or any questions!
