We are not defined by what happens to us in life, but rather by how we react to it. For some, talk therapy or medication is the answer. For me, it has always been somatic experiencing modalities such as yoga, mindfulness and meditation.
Unprocessed emotions can become stuck in the body creating inflammation, pain, and further issues. It is important that we learn to tune inward and explore our thoughts and feelings with curiosity and not judgement. It’s ok not to be ok, but we need to learn how to deal with what arises in constructive ways.
For the past 25 years I have studied several unconventional healing modalities, including yoga, reiki, energy healing, metaphysics, herbalism and more.
