🌙How Physical Pain Can Affect Your Mental Health🌙

We often think of the body and mind as two separate spaces…
but they are always in conversation with each other.

When your body is in pain — tight shoulders, jaw tension, migraines, low-back aches, hip stiffness, or that full-body heaviness — your nervous system stays in a constant state of “holding.” Over time, this can quietly shape your emotional landscape:

🌫️ Feeling overwhelmed more easily
💛 Emotional sensitivity
😞 Low mood or irritability
🔥 Increased anxiety
💧 Feeling drained or disconnected

Pain doesn’t just live in the fascia or the muscles.
It affects sleep, mood, clarity, and your ability to feel grounded and safe in your own body.

And none of this means anything is “wrong” with you. Your body is simply asking for tenderness, release, and regulation.

✨ This is where massage therapy and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) can help. ✨
Both modalities gently calm the nervous system, soften tension patterns, improve circulation, and help the fascia unwind so your body — and your mind — can finally exhale.

Many people notice that after a session they feel:
🌿 Emotionally lighter
🌿 More centered
🌿 Less pain
🌿 Clearer, calmer, and more themselves

If your body has been hurting and your emotions feel off-balance…
it may be time to give yourself the support you deserve.

❤️ Book your massage therapy or CFT session today.

Your mind and body will thank you.

🌙I’ve always wrestled with the need to control and perfect everything. These past few months have been a deep lesson in learning to let go—and it feels like the universe is speaking it louder than ever. Last night and this morning, the message is everywhere.

🤞Fear is often the echo of our resistance to what is. The need for control usually comes from a place of wanting to feel safe, but paradoxically, it often keeps us from truly feeling peace. Here are some lessons that tend to arise in the journey of surrender and letting go of control:

🌊 1. Control is an illusion, but awareness is real.

We often think that if we plan, anticipate, or manage every variable, we can prevent pain. But life constantly reminds us that control is limited — what we do have power over is our awareness, our response, and our openness to the flow of experience.

⸻

🌿 2. Surrender isn’t weakness; it’s radical trust.

Letting go doesn’t mean apathy or giving up — it means trusting that life, Spirit, or the Universe knows more than our limited perspective can grasp. True surrender says: I will do what I can, then release what I can’t.

⸻

🌙 3. Control contracts; surrender expands.

When we try to control outcomes, our energy tightens. We hold our breath, brace our hearts, and close our hands. When we surrender, we exhale — and suddenly there’s space for grace, intuition, creativity, and new possibilities to flow in.

⸻

🌸 4. The need to control is rooted in fear of loss.

Many of us cling tightly because we’re afraid of being hurt, abandoned, or unseen. The lesson is to soften into love anyway — to realize that peace doesn’t come from keeping things the same, but from being fully present with what is, even as it changes.

⸻

🔥 5. Life invites us to practice “gentle participation.”

Instead of forcing, we learn to partner with life — to act with intention but without attachment. It’s dancing rather than directing. Guiding, not gripping. Listening, not dictating.

⸻

🕊️ 6. The heart is wiser than the mind in moments of surrender.

The mind wants certainty. The heart understands that meaning and safety can exist even amidst uncertainty. Surrender is often a movement from the head to the heart — from fear to faith, from tension to tenderness.

⸻

🌾 7. Every ending opens space for something truer.

When you stop trying to control, you start to see what’s genuinely aligned for you. Control keeps old patterns alive. Surrender allows transformation — the natural dying and blooming that keeps life whole.

Did you know that body pain can often be traced back to stuck emotions that never had a chance to be felt or expressed?

When we suppress or “stuff down” emotions—grief, fear, anger, sadness—they don’t just disappear. They become stored within the layers of our fascia, the connective tissue that weaves throughout the entire body. Over time, these emotional imprints can create tightness, discomfort, fatigue, brain fog, chronic pain and even some physical conditions.

At Under the May Moon, I offer Craniosacral Fascial Therapy—a gentle, non-invasive form of bodywork that helps unwind both physical and emotional tension held within the fascia. Clients remain fully clothed and deeply relaxed throughout the session, making it a safe and nurturing option for anyone ages 8 and up.

As fall gives way to winter, many feel the weight of darker days and emotional heaviness. This is a beautiful time to pause, release what’s been held inside, and make space for renewal.

🌙 Book your Craniosacral Fascial Therapy session today and begin the journey of gentle release and emotional realignment.
