This is what body work and Craniosacral therapy does - it help you feel safe enough to remember the soft bits of yourself - the bits you put to the side so you could keep moving forward , keep getting up off the ground. We bury the soft parts of ourselves, the feelings , the fear, the love and even the joy - we bury them so we can get up and carry on without breaking . Healing is being safe enough to allow the feelings - allowing the joy into outlives again . We don’t heal to forget the hard stuff we heal to allow the good stuff in . And it takes time - give yourself time .

We don’t need to fix anything - we don’t need to fix our bodies or our trauma . We need to understand, accept and support what is , to nourish ourselves like we do for loved ones . I see this constant thing where we are trying to make ourselves “better “ let’s try to nourish ourselves into heather mindsets rather than trying to push and force change .

My magical childhood in Killard where I saw neighbours drop fish to my Nanny , fresh from the Atlantic behind us . The smell of the flowers along the ditch , the warm earth and mackerel frying .

We’re conditioned to ignore our feelings - We are bred to “drive on” - “it’s only a flesh wound” lol . We are resilient and we soundly survive with out it - but eventually it catches up - maybe it’s our generation that sits with and deals with the difficult situations
We move quickly through hard things difficult feelings - pushing emotions down to survive , but it will come through eventually . Your body holds the score and it will call it .

Fed up of the daily grind ?How do you regulate your system ?
It’s all about leaning to slow down your nervous system . Stress , hormones, safety ,trauma all these things can have your feeling overwhelmed - you can be - hyper vigilant (a good thing as a mother sometimes ) you feel wired but tired / too busy / can’t sleep properly
All this leads to anxiety ,moods swings , weight issues , physical aches and pain, exhaustion and plenty more issues . There are many ways to regulate and they are all over social media - even that in itself can be overwhelming 🤦‍♀️.
Like most women I’m busy , self care is nearly a chore , something I have to do to function - but a few minutes in the morning to walk barefoot in the garden and admire the beauty will reset my system . Just noticing the dewy grass on my toes , hearing the birds and the ocean and feeling the rising sun on my face . All these things regulate your system - if you can take 5 mins to yourself do it . It’s about feeling things in your body , noticing sensations - that brings you out of your head and into your body - where the real info and relaxation is .

There’s a lot of talk about generational trauma , and yes we carry the pain and sufferance our ancestors suffered through , but along side that we inherited their resilience , their strength their knowledge - at your lowest ebb if you can listen, you’ll hear them whisper gentle support or sometimes a demand to get back up! . They are always there reminding us of what we’re made of - pure strength and resilience. For healing I believe we need to accept all parts of ourselves ,the broken bits and also the powerful bits we can leave anything to the side - we must embrace it all , with a sense of wholeness in ourselves .
