Hi to all! Got a new video for you today, all on building somatic and nervous system capacity. In essence, building somatic and nervous system capacity means being able to be with what we are feeling and sensing in the current moment and getting really good at it. [...]
Hello on this first Monday of 2022! Got a brand new video for you today, on a topic I’ve been wanting to talk about for well over six months now, after hearing an anecdote of a woman, a horse, smoking cigarettes, and the concept of our body and [...]
