Traumas of abuse, past relationships, miscarriages, traumatic births, car accidents or stress may still be stored within your body causing a disconnect or disassociation that restricts you from expansion.
Add in prescriptions drugs, stress, years of foods with pesticides, refined sugars, hormones, highly inflammatory and genetically modified food and your body doesn’t know which way is up. What complicates it further is your masterful mind is stuck in limbo trying to rationalize emotions and physiological responses.
Instead of trying to control the body, how about working along with it?
The body doesn’t like to be forced to do anything.
It has a natural propensity for ease. The body can learn to do just about anything from habit. However, if the habit is one of consistent dis-ease, the body will go into protection mode and stay there out of habit. This dis-ease is habitually self-destructive.
What does that mean?
It means we can have therapy for the mind, spiritual practices for the soul but the body MUST move in order to fully transform and it’s going to take more than just moving energy around to break some habits.
“But if the body never forgets what can you do?”
3 Ways You Can Release It Today And You Don’t Have To Say A Word
- TRE- Tension/Trauma Release Exercise®: An innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma developed by Dr David Berceli. The exercises safely activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.
- Somatic Experiencing®: Is a body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma and other stress disorders designed by Dr. Peter A. Levine. It offers a framework to assess where a person is “stuck” in the fight, flight or freeze responses and provides clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states. SE approach releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma.
- Dance Movement Therapy: Uses the psychotherapeutic use of movement to promote emotional, social, cognitive, and physical integration of the individual, for the purpose of improving health and well-being. Orit Krug, host of the Mind Your Body Podcast says “I help people find their voice through dance & movement so that they have a satisfying way to express who they are and release their emotions.”
Most often in contemplative practices the body is forgotten or left behind and so it is denied the same expansion. If you only work to quiet the mind or transcend beyond the voices your evolution is incomplete.
The good news? You can release the past without getting into it.
Can I get a hell YES?
