Activate! 🔥 The fire element.

It takes less than 5 minutes to move stagnation, but it needs to be a regular practice. (That means every day! 😁) We have to mitigate the time spent sitting, especially because we are often (unnaturally) holding ourselves uncomfortably still behind a screen.

I like my rebounder because it is gentle on my joints and it feels really good to soften tension in my postural muscles. Alternatively, I like to dance freely to a couple of songs or perform a quick round of interval exercises like the #fourminuteworkout @zachbushmd @journeyofintrinsichealth

The key is to go ALL OUT (as far as speed and intensity, safely and pain-free) for approximately 30 second intervals, go easy for 30 seconds, and repeat 3-4 times. It is going to look different for everyone, depending on your baseline functional activity status. If you're an athlete, you might be doing sports-specific agility drills. If you're recovering from surgery, you might perform repeated sitting to standing. There is an infinite amount of ways to apply 'fire' to your workout, but regardless of how or where, it must be included.

From a physiological perspective, your body releases nitric oxide during an anaerobic workout. Nitric oxide is responsible for improving oxygen and nutrient delivery to the muscles, therefore enabling muscle growth. This is why high intensity interval training (HIIT) has gotten a lot of attention in the fitness world. It is a very effective way to tone and build muscles.

But, it isn't the whole story. Fire is just one element in a complete cycle of Earth-Body Movement Medicine. An Earth-Body Movement Medicine program brings you through FIVE elements of exercise in a seasonal cycle adapted to your unique needs to promote balance and harmony in your physical body.

It's time to end the war with our bodies! DM me to set up your customized Earth-Body Movement Medicine program!

Innocence. Who are you underneath all of the lay

Innocence.

Who are you underneath all of the layers, the facades, the acts? Are you holding back from being the fullest expression of your divine self? How did you make yourself acceptable to the world, while hiding the truth of who you are? These are the questions that arise on a path of healing.

These questions have really been meaningful, in these past few days. The energetic transmission of Commune: The Mother Sacrament ( a journey by @thepoetqueen ) is moving me towards personal freedom, rebirth of my soul. It is asking me to let go of shame and guilt to reveal my authentic self. As I look back at some photos of my childhood, I remember. This is me!

Come home to who you really are.

In memory of my owl friend.

Last week, I experienced a miracle. An owl came to me, one afternoon. She called to me. I visited her with reverence and appreciation for her presence.

The next day, I found her dead. I am caring for her body, while she is awaiting a proper burial. The ground is still quite frozen here.

Since her death, I am seeing owl symbols, statues, and synchronicities. I sit in the resonance of wisdom, intuition, and transformation.

She has inspired some new offerings and guided me towards another ritual and brought meaning to my practices.

Rest in peace, dear owl.

Blessed be, Earth-Bodies.

NEW OFFERING! ✨Earth-Body Reclamation Circle: I

NEW OFFERING!

✨Earth-Body Reclamation Circle: Innate Wisdom✨
➡️ Thursdays from 6-7 pm ET for 7 weeks
➡️ April 27th to June 8th, $245 for the series
✨Visit my website (in bio) to register✨

Innate wisdom is information sourced from within. It is a knowingness that we access by listening to what emerges during contemplation or it spontaneously appears in moments of synchronicity. The fluidity, safety, and structure of Earth-Body Reclamation Circles create the conditions for our innate wisdom to be revealed.

Your inner voice, your intuition, your soulful self, your truth, your inner compass (we have so many words for innate wisdom!) IS your most valuable resource. It is the essence of your divine connection, your soul, your Earth-Body foundation.

Because it is intrinsicly sourced and provides essential information about your unique needs, it is where I like to begin in facilitating your unique health journey.

I have spent a lifetime living in my head and for that I had became disconnected from knowingness. I found it difficult to make choices, to align with my soul, to just be me. Fortunately, this all changed when I discovered the power of NUSHU Group. It is a guided space of safety and non-judgement where I was able to reconnect with myself while connecting with others. I no longer felt alone and found the parts of me just waiting to find their way home!

As a certified NUSHU Group Facilitator and NUSHU mentor, my Earth-Body Reclamation Circles are designed to hold space in the same way. We circle as a virtual small community where you will be seen, be heard, and start to know yourself again.

Your inner truth already lives within you and it's ready to emerge! This is an invitation to remember who you are, to find your sovereignty, to hear your truth. Let's turn up the volume and let it be known!
