I Show Up Anyway

As much as I don’t think it will, my practice always, always teaches me something, or gives me something I can’t quite put into words.

It’s a feeling experienced within the body and a peace that washes over my soul.

My breathing slows down, and my body relaxes.

Sometimes I step into my space, not because I want to, but because I know this container is special.

I have built this sacred space to be safe, warm, nurturing, and loving.

Sometimes I know what I want to get from my space and my practice, and sometimes I have no clue.

In the moment that I step into my space, close my eyes and begin my practice, everything else quietens…and I just am.

I give my body permission to move how it wishes

I move through asanas infused with energy, energy my body and soul bring forth, depending on what is to be expressed, released or felt.

Every time I come here I am reminded why it’s important to show up, even when I may not want to, even when resistance rears its ugly head.

My nervous system exhales…

This sacred space and my Arymaea practice are my calm in the storm, my outlet for unexpressed emotion and a connection to my body that I don’t always realise I need.

So I come back, every time, with openness and trust

To learn. To understand.

My message to you today is this:

~ Resistance will always show up.

Just remember what’s waiting for you on the other side...

...and how good it feels when you get there. ~

With quiet reassurance
