Embrace the Uncomfortable: Permission to Feel and Explore Your Body
Giving oneself permission to feel uncomfortable and awkward in the body fosters a deeper connection with oneself, such as exploring and understanding different body parts without expectation. This approach helps alleviate the pressure of being constantly available to give, allowing the body to simply exist in its current state. By accepting and facing reality, rather than ignoring it, individuals can avoid superficial practices that mask deeper issues. This journey incorporates both physical and emotional aspects, emphasizing that embodiment work goes hand in hand with mindset work. The experience of bodily sensations—whether numbness, tension, or disassociation—should be approached with curiosity rather than judgment, recognizing that feelings and sensations, including the absence of feeling, are all part of the sensory spectrum. Acceptance and attunement to one’s experiences are fundamental to reconnecting with sensuality and healing trauma.
