Healing from trauma

 Connecting with my mind, connected me to my body 

Connecting with my body connected me with every muscle and nerve. 

connecting to connect 

to heal 

to love

My trauma and pain gently nestled in every part of every muscle and nerve. 

Encasing it in my body, my ego stopping me from pushing past it. 

Pain that tells many stories.

pain from betrayal

pain from heartbreak 

pain from inadequacy

pain from abuse

My womb trauma so tight, and detached

hollow

The gateway to my whole body 

broken

The two separate parts of my body acting as one, but both functioning in different dimensions. 

Sometimes the pain is from this life, sometimes it is passed on from generation to generation, by words, actions, doing, we subconsciously and sometimes consciously are handed this gift of trauma, trauma from previous generations, & lived trauma. 

my trauma sat energetically in my body 

~manifesting

I pushed my body to its limits 

I sought perfection

my body ego fandangled my mind ego into letting it take over

my body broke down for me. 

I hurt my body 

my trauma taught me how 

Surrender to the ego in your mind, will surrender the ego in your body & allow consciousness to spread.

Let. 

Go.

Testimonial

 I am incredibly pleased today to be able to share with you a testimonial from a very special client of mine. Words like hers continue to motivate and inspire me everyday. I am so happy to be on this journey and to be able to help people along the way. To anyone reading this, if you are in pain do read this and spark the change in your life today.

“When Hina walked into my life it was like an angel from somewhere beyond my imagination, silvery sparkly hair like a halo on her head. 

To heal.

To help. 

To connect. 

Connecting with the muscles in my body, connected me to the pain and stories that lay within every fiber of those muscles. 

I am often told to ground myself, but sometimes these pieces of free, have little meaning when you are in the middle of an ungrounded storm of sorts.

Grounding yourself is different for everyone.

I needed to ground myself in my body, to reach my pain and through intentional, slow, impactful movement through somatic yoga I could start to heal. 

Hina’s gentle, positive yet loving touch can heal even the most skeptical among us.

My pain felt like a birthing story. Literal contractions, legs raised and spread ready to deliver. Though I am not with baby. 

It is possible I am / was having a literal re-birth of myself. 

Hina is the doula I didn’t know my body needed.”

I am grateful for her kind and moving words. This journey with her has just begun, and as a life’s accumulation of trauma slowly starts to fade away I am excited to see how see blooms like a flower turning to the sunlight. Here’s a photo of her looking peaceful in between her somatics session with me. Notice how calm she looks. 

Teenagers, and a healthy lifestyle. #1

 As we start growing older, we also begin looking after our body, since it demands more. Teenagers are often given a free pass because their bodies can take it. Here’s the news, that’s not true. A bad lifestyle affects teenagers just as much as adults, if not more. With teenagers, there’s a growing concern of it becoming something that sticks to them life-long, because they are still in their learning period of life.

In this series, we will deal with common issues teenagers face, which are often ignored and can be solved by Somatics Yoga. Today’s topic, the first of this series, is a widespread problem among teenagers - Sleep deprivation. 

Sleep is a very important part of our physical, emotional and mental health. The average person will sleep for one third of their life. The way we prepare for sleep is very important because the quality of sleep we receive shapes our emotional, mental and physical health. But teenagers barely sleep. Whether it’s a high-load of school work, their routine, or even play time, teenagers often are the first to skip sleep. This can lead to various problems.

Noticeable signs of sleep deprivation include:

Memory issues

Weight gain

Irritability

Excessive fatigue

Poor balance and co-ordination

Imagine all this, on a growing child learning to adapt to life’s challenges. It’s a cocktail for disaster. And that’s why solving sleep-issues of utmost importance. If you’re a parent looking to help your child, look into their sleeping patterns. If they have trouble sleeping regularly and consistently, get in touch with us. Somatics Yoga can aid your child into forming healthy life habits, and fix their sleeping problems and more. Here’s how…

Somatics helps you relax your muscles and be mindful. When you are relaxed and aware, you are able to let go of all the stress you are carrying. This helps you reach the state where you can start your sleeping process. Thereon, Somatics teaches you methods that will help you calmly fall asleep. One of them is a form of breathing exercises. Try one of these simple exercises when you’re in bed.

Rest your eyes and notice your breathing. Pay attention to your breathing pattern and feel the air enter and leave your body. Visualize the flow of air as it passes through you, goes inside you, and is exhaled back out. Look for any tension, and as you exhale, feel the tension leave too. If your mind wanders to another worry or thought, let it go and gently redirect your attention back to your breath.
