Grounding in Uncertain Times: Finding Steadiness When the World Feels Shaky
Lately, I’ve been feeling the world’s pace inside my own body.
The noise, the urgency, the endless unfolding of things beyond my control. Some days I wake up and my system is already running: my heart beats faster, my breath is shallow, my mind is looping. Other days, I freeze. The weight of everything feels too much, and I find myself suspended between movement and stillness. I’m unable to act, yet unable to rest.
Sacred Resistance: When the Body Says No
We live in a culture that glorifies the “yes.” But constant “yes” leaves no space for truth, no ground for the “no” that makes boundaries possible.
The body does not lie. It tightens when something is off, fogs when it feels unsafe, hardens when it does not consent. These moments of resistance are not flaws to be overcome, but thresholds to indicate our boundaries. Each no, whether spoken aloud or hidden behind a smile, carries a wisdom that cannot be faked. To honour resistance is to recognise it as the body’s sacred way of saying: not this, not yet, not here.
Touch: An Act of Remembering
From the time we are born into this world, the body craves to hold and be held.
Actually, it begins even earlier — in the womb, wrapped in warmth, sensation, and sound.
We are held before we understand what it means.
Held before we even know we are separate.
Just as we are held by the universe, we are made to hold each other.
It lives in us. It is our birthright.
Touch, Resonance, Alchemy
There are languages older than words. A conversation between skin and muscle, between breath and frequency, between the seen and the unseen. Touch, resonance, alchemy—these are not just concepts, but the rhythms of transformation, the quiet forces that guide us back to ourselves.
Why “Healing” Shouldn’t be the Goal
In the wellness community, we often hear the term "healing" thrown around as if it's the ultimate destination. The truth is, healing is a journey, not a destination. While it’s natural to seek relief from pain or discomfort, making healing the end goal can lead to frustration and disappointment. Here’s why we should shift our focus from healing to growth and self-acceptance.
