They just work best as support — like gentle reminders, little whispers to anchor you while the real transformation happens on a much deeper level… in the body.
Oftentimes when we are so caught up with the web of our minds and the weaving of our thoughts, we tend to distance ourselves from what's happening in the body. Here's the truth though. If it hasn't fully landed in the body yet — it’s just a story, and it will stay just that. A sweet, well-crafted story you keep telling yourself, hoping one day it’ll finally feel true. \ \ Your mind may write the story, but your body is where it becomes truth.
If you want your belief systems to truly shift — to move from something you know into something you live — you have to go into the body. As comforting (and honestly addictive) as it might feel to stay in the mind, rooting your behavior back to your childhood trauma, repeating the mantras and reasoning your way into your self-worth… it’ll only take you so far.
### Because your embodiment doesn’t live in your thoughts — it lives in your cells.\
\ It lives in the way that you carry yourself. The way you hold yourself.
The way your shoulders soften as you exhale the pressure to be anyone else than who you truly are.
The way your gaze softens and your heart opens as you sway through the world.
The way you turn every action into ceremony, every word you speak into prayer. \ \ Not by what you are doing, but by who you are being. -- And being happens in the body.
Here’s some context so it may land a little more deeply for you: our feminine lives in the body, and our masculine lives in the mind. The way to get into our feminine embodiment, our softness, our open-heartedness, and our vulnerability starts with the body — and the mind follows. It begins by making space — soft, spacious room within — to hold every part of you. Even the ones that tremble. Even the ones you’ve learned to silence or send away.
The parts that feel too tender, too much, too messy. The ones you’ve hidden in the corners of your body, hoping no one would notice. Especially those.
Because it’s there, in the quiet ache of what you’ve tried not to feel, that your wholeness waits.
These parts of you don’t need fixing — they need holding. They need breath, warmth, and a body that says, you’re safe here.
This is where embodiment begins. This is where the actual shift happens. Not by becoming someone new — but by gently coming back to your body, softening into what's already there, just a little more each time.
From this space of returning, we open up to the magic we hold within our bodies.
### \ Let this be your invitation — to live from the pulse beneath the story, to start with one breath and to simply ask your body 'what's happening right now?' and be with it.
