When Discomfort Is the Answer ?

As we say goodbye to March and the excitement and exhausting, rapid pace of our recent launch, I'm reflecting on the ever-present rhythm of expansion and contraction.
Launching a program is a MAJOR expansion–juggling so many tasks, moving quickly, managing breakdowns, and pushing through to bring a dream into reality.
Yet just like the change of seasons, expansion is followed by an essential phase of contraction. A time to slow down, breathe, reflect, and integrate our experiences and lessons.
Embracing this natural rhythm isn't always easy though.?We often believe we must keep pushing forward at all costs, never pausing until we've reached a state of complete healing or achievement.?
This common misconception comes from believing we’re doing something wrong or moving backwards if we feel called to slow down or do less.
Yet discomfort and slowdowns are not signs of regression. They are opportunities for integration and growth. Just like nature, healing follows a natural flow.?
Participants experienced this firsthand during our recent Embodied Femininity Live Challenge.
During the embodiment practices, they experienced ?deep-rooted emotions coming to the surface–emotions that they didn’t realize were there, revealing layers that needed to be felt, witnessed, and released.
For one woman, it brought up deep feelings of shame. Intense emotions started to flow, and her body was flooded. She was tempted to run and hide because it was uncomfortable, scary and confusing.
Embodiment work can bring what’s incomplete to the surface, and it can be scary to face it all alone.?
Yet she wasn’t alone. I was there to guide her on how to relax into the emotions, to allow them to flow, and to release, without fear. I encouraged her to listen to the wisdom of her body and was present with her as she moved through everything that came up for her.
The tears and intense emotions did not signify failure; instead they signified the need for release, which is an integral part of the healing journey.

Without understanding the wisdom of the body, our tendency is to hit the eject button because we believe that discomfort is a sign of something wrong. We think “this is bad for me”.... when it typically is ?the opposite.
If you can stay through the initial discomfort (and not run), those moments can become doorways to profound healing and transformation.
With the right guide, you can learn to relax into these moments of contraction, helping you to move through challenges, to heal, rather than run away from them.
Do you ever feel like your emotions and body sensations are a foreign language? In one-on-one Somatic Intelligence Coaching, I’ll be your guide as we dive into your body's unique wisdom, as I walk with you through the expansions and contractions.
In the Embodied Femininity Live Challenge, I guided participants to wait, to slow down, and to recognize that discomfort as a sign of progress.?

You CAN learn to lean into the discomfort – it’s the only way to find out what’s on the other side.
It's not about going back; it's about moving through. And the right guide and support makes all the difference.?

7 个月This is pretty good. I read every word, thank you. I'm not downplaying anything. Why? I've had many co-workers who, according to Sam Vaknin and Lidija Rangelovska, don't have access to positive emotions. That's certainly a noticeable event, to you and others, and it's a recurrent feature of their noisome centralities. Well, a broken record. You've had people who couldn't self-regulate with crying, instead of getting back with childish anger and aggression,something Esther Perel mentioned as the number one destroyer of relationships. "Even micro-aggression" will do destroy the otherwise beautiful relationship. There's no denying it. My co-workers make me really uncomfortable. It has nothing to do with the desire to put the screw on them, sabotage their lives. I just use my imagination around them. 'Hi, Friend,' and so forth.They behave more gently with that. Sometimes, I don't have the gumption. They're threatening and aggressive and otherwise negatory. Where the presence of NPD or "narcissistic style" are concerned, they have "a low-vibrational frequency." They may not intend to be verbally abusive, but you can see the language barrier - the ability to speak kindly is stultified. They're about mindless freedom of expression.
