Embodiment 101: Restrained to Resilient

Nearly 6 years ago after losing my job, I heard this undeniable whisper and knowing to “live in the unknown”. I had no idea what the f*#% that meant. It resonated so deeply it quickly became my North Star that I was committed to following through times of not knowing where I was going to live next, how I was going to earn money and the external and internal judgements that I had to navigate in keeping this commitment to myself.

So, I learned to live INTO the answers and discovered the way to navigate the unknown is through becoming authentically embodied.

What does that even mean?

The tolls I paid to leave my comfort zone, walk the bridges of the unknown and to the other side of receiving my desires required leaving my old ideas of "how to be" there and humbly surrender to the vulnerability of becoming who I truly am. The life toll taker will only let so much BS and false narratives through.

I can easily see this now after all of these years, but I spent a lot of it alone figuring it out. (Thankfully, I had people in my corner who believed in my knowing and dreams, even when I couldn’t always see it.) Eventually, a process or framework started to appear through observing others and my own life. That’s the thing about embodiment, nobody can do it for you. It’s not just about knowledge or the body. There’s a personal perspective, a process and a practice that is uniquely yours.

I'm committed to helping others figure out their process because someone either needs what you know, needs your physical presence or you need to be on the receiving end. For either side to authentically fulfill this, it's more often than not in the unknown and requires you to be completely yourself.

It’s so cliché but the truth is I created the thing I wished for and needed when I found myself crying on the bathroom floor regretting my choices and wondering how I went from the comforts of stability to letting it all go for some deep knowing of an adventure that didn’t have a clear destination.

My hope is that I can share what I’ve learned with those who are feeling that internal struggle of wanting to really stay versus really go…to answer that calling fully embodied in the magic of who they are and fulfill a purpose. And, maybe in the process, save a few tissue boxes, reduce the moments of stagnation or feeling lost and increase the capacity to receive.

I’m pleased to announce Embodiment 101: Restrained to Resilient. An 8-week online group program starting in mid-March. I’m currently looking for testers for this beta. To learn moore, check this page out.
