Riverweaving

The body speaks in poetry.

This week clients bodies have been calling for attention at the chest, lungs heart.
Moving down the energetic chanel to meet the hands, gripping, grasping.
We push the pain away sending our greif, our trauma, as far away from the heart.

The body becomes stuck in effort and unable to relax.
Tight necks, tight thinking...

Today grief feels like love wanting to be expressed. Wanting to have a place to belong.

The body knows guiding what our mind feels as 'to much' fears of becoming overwhelmed, another loss, another unwelcome wave.

Writer Danielle Dulsky ends each chapter of her books with; "As always we are woven together in grief and gratitude."

My clients bodies seem to be weaving them backinto presence into life, by letting their grief tenderly rest at their heart.

Often the healing I offer is simple bodywork. Moving through the body to release stored tension.

As the body unwinds patterns begin to shift, the breath deepens and energy moves through, 'freeing up space' in our physical, emotional and mental bodies.

Healing can be a simple shift in perspective which is facilated by an experience of spaciousness.💫

It doesnt need to be a great shake up, or an eruption of outter world change. As much as somedays you might want to push the big red button! 💥

Healing consistently appears when there is a gentle settling in.

A return, to ease in a relaxed body.

Although Maori bodywork includes massage therapy there is a weaving of energetic awareness which supports and activates your own inaite healing.

Allowing the energy centres of your body to align recalabrating your instinct, heart centered awareness and intuition.

From a Maori healing perspective we are living and perceiving the world through our three hearts. The energy centers that inform our relational connection within the fabric of life, both our inner and outter worlds.

When we feel settled in ourselves our perspectives broaden. The light within you 'the heartbeat of the living waters' guide and reveal.

You remember to listen to your soul.

Instead of the conditional overlays that entrap you in doubt, fear or worry.

How are you reading the guiding signs?

If you'd like some physical support to encourage gentle healing, shifts that allow the body and mind to relax.

Supporting you to soften and center.

To tune in.

A love note to the woman navigating hormonal shifts...

Have you noticed how much you are always caught up in the need to be doing something?
Even when you are having a day off, resting or feeling poorly.

I'm noticing it in myself the 'in-put' constant podcasts, phonecalls, reading, movies... I'm addicted to stories, always taking in other people's noise.

The 'out-put' the inherent need to be contributing, to not get behind, the need to some how remain relevant!

Yet more now than ever when I gift myself stillness as self care and return my attention towards myself.

I remember I am inspired by the feminine soul world.

During midlife I am experiencing a deeper call to move away from the world of prescribed success. Ideas of meaning, value and worth that were never; 'really me.'

To again contact who I 'always was'; my deeper more authetic self.

To feel 'in connection', present within 'my essence'. The renewing force that moves through me, not through more innerwork! But from a quality of inspiration that truly feels 'alive.'

I feel this flowing into my body practice too, as I cycle away from masculine spirituality and ideas if our inner 'work'.

That makes our inner world feel like a task.

When it is truly to become ourselves is a devotional practice!

This is the quality of space I hold at Riverweaving, I create space that allows your essence to rest in rythms that include the stillness of your yin, dark femine, watery depths.

Your hormonal journey might not require 'more fixing'. A mindset that challenges you to do more or be less is an inner patriarchal structure.

You might just need holding enough, that you can rest in accepting what is.

What is awakening within you as a force that already knows how to transform.

Have you noticed how much you are always caught up in the need to be doing something?
Even when you are having a day off, resting or feeling poorly.

I'm noticing it in myself the 'input' podcasts, reading, movies... I'm addicted to stories, always taking in.

The 'output' to be contributing, to not get behind, to be some how remain relevant.

As I move through midlife I feel my inner patriarch, trying to move the stubborn stocky legs of my 'work horse'.

She keeps pushing back, she wants to go about things differently, on her terms, she is not interested in your cracking whip.
Your shoving hands.
Or your tugging ropes trying to leading her back onto the same well worn path.

She wants to linger, and amble and chew native violets.

And then she wants to run... and you'd better move.
She's got more weight now, she will trod on you and she wont fu***ng care, or maybe she simply wont notice.

Her attention residing more deeply within herself.

Shes not working for you anymore.

She's doing it to be in contact with the feild, the trees, the mud.

The sky, the breeze, the rain.

Her feminine soul, the soul of the world.

Her nostrils tickle, steaming with inspiration. The only force that moves her now.

I am inspired by the feminine soul world, I feel a need to move away from a world that is being prescribed to us. To come in contact again with our deeper truths. To feel in connection with our essence the renewing forces that move through us, not through work but from inspiration of being alive.

To move away from masculine spirituality the ideas if our inner 'work',
And allow some space for the creative potency gifted when allow ourselves to rest in rythms that include the stillness of our femine yin depths
