Dissolving Body Armor – What Happens?
For most of my life, I suffered from chronic back pain. Social conditioning put literal pressure on my mind and body. Family beliefs, working too hard, being over sensitive, wearing high heels, lifting heavy objects and being afraid of speaking my truth all played a part.
At the time, I thought I was empowered. I had money, had a beautiful house, car, earned good money as a Teacher. I looked good, went to the gym, had a beautifully sculpted body, got my nails done & hair cut & dyed every month. I wore beautiful clothes & let’s not forget the high heels. Ever since I was a teenager, I wore high heels. I thought it made me look more elegant & distinguished, more feminine. WTF?
I learned & absorbed life through its surroundings & teachings. This became imprinted in my body & nervous system.
I learned that by wearing nice clothes, wearing makeup, wearing high heels, I would be seen & I was seen… FOR WHAT I LOOKED LIKE ON THE OUTSIDE.
I was also the loving Super Mom who did it all… perfect meals, perfect everything but I was not fully present. How could I be? I felt drained, burned out & disconnected from my body. I was in a disembodied state, a disempowered state.
This is when I decided to retire from my teaching job & concentrate only on myself, ON THE INSIDE.
I began to travel to different parts of the world to study… reiki, yoga, tantra, nutrition, tao, shamanism, bodywork & the list goes on.
Bit by bit, I purged – selling the house, furniture, car, clothes, jewelry..all things that did not resonate.
I am now in Ibiza serving my life’s purpose moving in the direction of my Soul, and investing in myself & this is very freeing. What I know to be true is that by connecting to the Elements of nature, I am more alive & connected with myself.
After years of practice, a lot of courage & determination, I have released trauma & conditioning, pain & a lot of endless suffering… I have dissolved a lot of BODY ARMOUR. I have regained more freedom within my body & my life.
This is why I have created embodiment practices to share with other Women around the world. It is my wish to help others experience freedom from pain and come home to themselves.
My upcoming Elemental Wisdom Series is an online course featuring practices to support the release of tension, emotions, physical pain & trauma.
When you rid your body of the tension, the armour dissolves & fluidity returns to a natural state. It is time for you to come home to your body & this is something to celebrate.
