Coming Home to Your Body: Reclaiming Rest, Desire, and the Wisdom Within
This one is for any person struggling to come home to their body.
Many of us are taught our bodies are bad, our desires are bad.
We’re taught to override our bodies’ intelligence. To sit still in chairs. To sit slouched over, disassociated from our bodies.
When our bodies want to move and explore and play, we are taught to sit, listen, and obey.
These are some notes I took down from this incredible podcast I listened to.
7 Questions To Reclaim Yourself with Dr. Thema Bryant
Sovereignty: Take sacred pause and decide and choose.
Coming home to our body.
Honoring our bodies.
What you want matters.
Grounding into your center: your needs, your desires, not based on what someone tells you.
I get to choose and care for this body.
To live in my truth means pushing past the voices pushing their truth on me.
Dream, shine, manifest.
We are not machines.
We are worthy of rest, joy, love.
Our business is not our worth.
Be still.
Honor our wholeness and take action.
How do we get free and stay free?
What if I raise a child who feels:
- Safe in his body
- Close to his personal desires and wants
- Connected to his dreams
- Powerful in manifesting a bright, beautiful life
What if that is enough?
I will teach my kids what she says:
“We are worthy of rest, joy, and love. Our business is not our worth. We can honor our wholeness and take action.”
This conversation reminds me of another piece I wrote about slowing down:
