BOdYRiDE - ReClaiming our Bodies

Luxuriating in present moment awareness


 

Tuning into your body with receptive attention is a little like finding a previously undiscovered radio station that broadcasts content like you’ve never heard before.  You turn the dial, tune to this new station, and suddenly and surprisingly a whole new and amazing world of music opens up to you. 


When you tune into your inner movement flow, sensing your body with receptive attention, a whole new level of unexplored existence opens up to you. You find yourself fascinated by, and in awe of your body, your mind, and your beautiful humanity.


Our bodies know how to luxuriate in the pleasurable sensations of being alive. They simply need our intention to give our attention to them.  Practice letting go of being in charge. Focus on receiving your bodies’ sensations, and allow your attention to follow your bodies’ flow. 


Recall a time when you anticipated taking a warm bath. 


Now imagine slipping into that bath, your body sliding down into the tub.  Instantly, your body relaxes into that warm, soothing bathwater. You feel its warm melting embrace as your attention focuses on, and follows the sensations of the water sliding up and surrounding your body.   Every inch of your skin comes alive as the warmth penetrates deep into your core. Perhaps a throaty “ahhh” escapes your lips as you surrender into the sensual pleasure that fills your awareness as you come to rest in the warm comforting water.   


When you allow yourself to pay attention, and receive sensations of pleasure, your breath deepens, your world softens, and time disappears. 


We can invite ourselves to fully luxuriate in the pleasure of our physicality. We can give our attention over fully to our physical aliveness. In doing so we embrace, appreciate, honor and enliven ourselves; effortlessly enhancing our vitality, experiencing our wholeness and witnessing our essential well-being.

HEALING THE WOUND OF NON-SUPPORT

     We must receive support before we can ever give it Many of us were born and raised in homes where we did not receive the support we really needed in order to feel safe, seen, grounded, and valued. For whatever reasons, our parents and families and perhaps even our communities were unable to give us enough responsive attention for us to anchor a feeling of being empowered and supported into our Beings.   Because we did not receive this support for our very Being, our essence, we came to distrust ourselves and those around us. We became unable to receive support, even when it was sincerely offered. We came to feel that we were a burden and that we didn’t deserve to have support or feel supported. We tried to make it through our lives by being totally self-sufficient. Since we couldn’t receive support, we reasoned, maybe we didn’t need it.   We managed for quite some time in this way. But we found that we were unable to feel totally at ease with ourselves and ...

Is My Voice Welcome Here?

-An inquiry into the deeper dynamics of human interaction. In this episode, I share a few experiences and insights about how structural power imbalances and inequalities influence our interactions with each other.   Thoughts on why we may feel hesitant to share our opinions, ideas and reflections verbally in social situations Suggestions for increasing the likelihood that we will experience satisfying verbal interactions with others.   One way we can co-create safe containers for satisfying interactions:   Agree on explicit yet flexible guidelines for our interaction. In advance.   In this way, we create a field of safety for spontaneous, dynamic,  mutually satisfying engagement to arise between and among individuals.   It is possible to: Address and level uneven power dynamics Minimize layers of separation Meet each other authentically, respectfully, and vulnerably, heart to heart Do you collude?   Sel...

Living with Emotional intensity and remaining Anchored

As a Highly Sensitive Empath, I can easily over identify with another’s emotional state. Attuning to others is automatic for me. Yet I easily fall into others’ emotions, losing myself, losing my own emotional balance and losing perspective. It’s not comfortable nor sustainable. I’ve uncovered an intuitive and instinctive ability that lets me stay connected and present, highly attuned, yet not over-identified with, or engulfed by my own, or others’ emotional states.  I’m able to be aware of and witness difficult or intense emotional states, without being overcome or unbalanced. I remain alert, yet relaxed. I don’t get activated into fight or flight. I’m able to ride these states without being thrown.  I’d love to share this ability with you, and show you how to access it for yourself.  If you could have access to a simple subtle practice that would moderate and eventually free you from emotional roller coaster-ing, yet allow you to have fully alive, emotionally connected, ...
