As the year draws to a close, and another is on the horizon, From Striving to Softening is an invitation to pause and explore, with curiosity rather than judgement, the patterns that leave you feeling on edge, pushing to do more or frozen by the fear of getting it wrong.
​
Through somatic practices, guided reflection and creative exploration (no experience needed), we'll get to know your inner striver: the part of you that tries to keep you safe by getting everything right, pushing through exhaustion or feeling the needed to constantly prove yourself.
​
Rather than setting another round of pressured New Year's goals, we'll explore what you'd like to make room for in the year ahead, reconnecting with what you genuinely want and how you can move towards it from a place of desire, rather than fear.
​
This isn't about giving up on your ambitions. It's about discovering what becomes possible when you're no longer driven by the fear of getting things wrong.
Includes;
-
Getting to know your Inner Striver;
Understanding the patterns behind perfectionism and how they show up in your nervous system.
-
Making room for something new;
Reflective and creative prompts to explore what you're ready to let go of and what you'd love to invite into your life.
-
Practicing the art of softening;
Gentle somatic practices to build body awareness, release tension and explore how it feels to meet resistance with curiosity rather than pressure.
WHAT IS SOMATICS?
​
Somatics relates to your living, breathing body. It's everything that makes up your living body; your cells, tissues, sensations, nervous system, and all that you've experienced in your lifetime. It's held in the wisdom of your body.
​
Somatics can be referred to as a body-focused or body-led approach, helping you develop an inner awareness of how you feel and how you're responding to the world around you; through your nervous system, the messages, sensations and emotions that your body receives and communicates with you.
Through gentle movement, breath, sensory awareness, mindful attention and other mind-body explorations, you begin to notice where you hold tension, how you respond to stress and what your body might need to feel more supported.
​
Rather than trying to think your way out of a familiar pattern, belief or feeling, somatic practices invite us to explore then through the body, creating opportunities to respond with greater awareness, choice and compassion, so you can sense and explore ways of being that help you feel more empowered, creative and in flow with your life. ​
