Self-Intimacy

Today I'm diving into self-intimacy, resonance and judgment.

In the school we did a session recently on connecting to the centre of your body. It's a great practice as we drop into the colder months where nature asks us to self-reflect and slow down (you'll find the recording in the platform now).

When you connect to your centre,
when you can FEEL your own core..
you receive this inherit passion for life. Inspired action that is unique to you.

The practice is around interpreting and following that. Last month in the school we dove into the body as a receiver for clear instructions of how to be IN THE PRESENT.

I don't know about you but I don't want to grieve my own life.

I don't want to miss the moments of love, happiness and adventure. All because my emotions or my mind is pulling me somewhere else (past, trigger..whatever)

Self-intimacy is the ability to be brutally honest with yourself and TRUST THAT.

It's a deep practice and it's a rewarding one.

It's also not something everyone seeks, but, I know sensitive women are geared for it. If you're reading this you're probably an empath, natural giver or highly sensitive woman.

So maybe there is a desire to know yourself so deeply and to relate to life SO deeply. I don't know - is there?

In our workshop I got really real with the women I work with about being triggered by my body again - an old wound that I had thought I had healed. I'm sure you have a list of those too! The annoying ones that keep showing up so we can understand deeper and deeper layers.

It turned out me hyper-focussing on how I looked was a front. A facade keeping me out of feeling this deep pit of grief.

Sometimes it feels easier to focus on something you can change rather than something you are scared to feel.

Tangible VS the unseen.

Grief is like that. A sneaky, invisible force that taints and distorts life. One of my greatest healers was dropping into a dedicated grief practice for 21 days - I share that too in the school and did it yesterday with a private client. She was phenomenal how she expressed and I actually shed tears at how she felt instantly lighter. Magic.

Back to self-intimacy.

Self intimacy isn't just knowing yourself, but responding to how you feel WITH presence. Giving yourself what you need. Looking after yourself in ways you may not have by others.

These days self-awareness is popular and we're developing that skill really well. However there is a call for something deeper now, not just being aware of your feelings, patterns or desires. But seeing the truth underneath that and letting it guide you.

Big boots on.
