Gentle Qigong to Reduce Stress

09/15/2025

Most people call it meditation… I like to think of it as checking in with myself.

Ask yourself- “What is good enough for me? How can I make myself proud? Do your daily tasks with purpose, because how you show up- is showing who you are. Your mindset is key to unlocking the life you want to create.

When trauma makes you feel
“small,” it’s often a deep emotional and psychological response that reflects feelings of powerlessness, shame, vulnerability, or fear, especially if the trauma occurred during childhood or in situations where you had little control.

You may emotionally regress to a younger state—like a child-because your nervous system is trying to protect you in the way it did when the trauma first happened.
You might feel: Like your voice doesn’t matter, and have feelings of helplessness, and just being uncomfortable and even afraid of rejection.
Look for guidance, reassurance, or protection from someone you respect. When your needs are unmet from emotional abuse or neglect, it can draw up feelings of shame and worthlessness inside you. Emotional Trauma- can lead to toxic shame, where YOU feel bad about yourself. “I’m not enough.” “I’m invisible.” “I don’t deserve to take up space.” This can create a “small” sense of self. And your Survival Response to feeling “small” is sometimes part of a freeze or fawn trauma response:
Freeze: Your body shuts down, you go numb or still, can’t think clearly.
Fawn: You try to please others to stay safe, ignoring your own needs.
These are protective mechanisms your brain uses when fight or flight doesn’t seem possible.

Your nervous system can default to old, familiar survival patterns that made you feel “small” then — and still do now.
Mind-body practices like grounding, breathwork, yoga, qigong, meditation and even journaling, can meet you with self-compassion. Where you and your body can feel safe, heard and validated.

Please know, feeling “small” after trauma isn’t weakness-it’s a sign of survival. Your body and mind did what they had to do to protect you.
With self-awareness, and the right support and daily self-care rituals, you can reclaim your voice, and your worth- to take up your divine space in this world, and be all that you are authentically meant to be.✨🫶🏻

Have a Beautiful Day✨

Creating a life you love- really isn’t about being concerned with how others perceive what you are doing. Of course we get caught up in wanting our family to be proud, that’s been our motivation since day one. But as adults, what you do should come from your heart, your interest, and what seems best for you. What matters most is that the things you are doing, matter to you!!
Life is so much simpler when you stop explaining yourself to people and just do what works for you.
Focus on yourself and the life that you want to create.
When you are proud of yourself for the things that you’re doing, you won’t be bothered by what other people think.
