Thanks so much for sharing these. They’re all such thoughtful reminders of how taking small steps can nurture our wellbeing. Being a somatic practitioner, you’ll probably not be surprised that I couldn’t agree more about the "shake it off" practice! When life feels heavy, shaking things out (literally or metaphorically) can feel like shedding the weight of stress and tension. It’s a little like telling your body, "I’m not carrying this anymore," and that’s such a freeing feeling 💫 In Dr Peter Levine's book 'Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma', he notes that animals can be observed shaking to release tension and stress. Such a powerful practice! 🙌
Hi Dana! So glad you're enjoying these! And yes to the shaking practice! One of the online yoga teachers i follow often does a shaking roll down into forward fold (and back up again) and i love that. And I've read that book by Levine! (And the body keeps the score, too). It is so true animals shake off stress then just go on with their day - so cool!! 😊
That roll sounds amazing! 🙌 It’s incredible how animals just shake it off and move on, no questions asked. It’s such a beautiful reminder that our bodies know what they need, if only we give them the space to release and heal 💖
