My absolute deepest desire for you is that you realize your presence—which is so valuable—is available to you one hundred percent of the time. That your flavour of love, care, kindness, and honesty is available from you, towards you, in every moment of every day.
My deepest desire for you is that you go all in on your life, and that you choose to feel and express all your feelings that are part of the natural way that the light of the infinite moves through you.
My deepest desire for you is that you see beauty everywhere—in nature, in intimacy, in silence, in joy, within yourself.
My deepest desire is that you crack open and find your wholeness right there, where it always was, is, within you, and forever will be.
My deepest desire for you is that you allow yourself to value yourself just because you are you. Not because of anything you did or didn’t do, not because of anything that did or didn’t happen to you, but simply because you are the Infinite remembering itself in form.
My deepest desire for you is that you believe and trust in the possibilities in the universe. The trauma vortex is very narrow, but the field of abundance is infinite. May we tap into it through focused intention; may we cultivate it; may we plug into it; may we be it.
The trauma vortex pulls us into looping thoughts, looping sensations and looping stories that reinforce the same message – everything is bad, everything is dangerous – nothing good exists. When we tighten like this, it’s hard to notice moments of neutrality or ease; the sensations that could actually make your body feel more spacious.
We can create more capacity to notice what your nervous system is doing. This is nervous system repair and flexibility. Stress and anxiety lives in the body just as much as in our emotional being. The racing heart, the flushed face, the tight belly, the lump in the throat, the clenched jaw—these are all physical expressions of a nervous system on high alert.
High alert, also known as “fight, flight and freeze” states are often practiced tension patterns that are unconsciously held in the nervous system and body.
Somatic practices such as Somatic Resilience & Regulation, Somatic Intentional Touch, Somatic Experiencing, Feldenkrais and vagus nerve exercises work by engaging the body directly to help regulate the nervous system and bring these symptoms back into balance.
When we can learn to feel our emotions and body sensations as they are happening, instead of suppressing them, we can begin to share our true feelings with those that we are in relationship with, and can begin to truly heal.
When we feel hurt and don’t feel safe to feel it, the mind relocates the discomfort, and projects it onto the other person.
For example:
“He must have bad intentions.”
“She is manipulative.”
“They only care about themselves.”
“He is corrupt or selfish or untrustworthy.”
None of this means the other person is flawless. People fail each other all the time. But the speed and the certainty and the moral superiority of these thoughts come from your own suppressed hurt, not from reality.
Our body has an organic bracing / defensive response. When we feel unsafe—physically or emotionally—our body naturally tightens or braces. This is a protective reflex, built into our nervous system. Over time, if stress or trauma is repeated or unresolved, this bracing pattern can become our “new normal.”
You might notice it most in one area—your shoulders, your jaw, your stomach—but it’s really a whole-body pattern. The muscles are held in subtle readiness, like a car engine idling too high. We may not even notice it until pain, tension, or exhaustion shows up.
This bracing is part of what keeps the nervous system “stuck” in a stress response. Even when the mind tries to relax, the body is still sending messages of tension and threat.
Somatic methods invite and support the body to complete unfinished protective responses and return to a natural rhythm of tension and release.
We slow down and notice small sensations—tightness, fluttering, warmth, or softening—so the body can discharge survival energy bit by bit, rather than holding it.
We use gentle, mindful movement to bring awareness to habitual patterns. As we learn to move in new, easier ways, the brain updates its sense of safety and control.
Supporting the vagus nerve by using coherence breathing, making sounds, listening to the Safe & Sound listening protocol directly engage the body’s “rest and digest” system, signaling safety and calm.
All of these approaches use the body’s own neurophysiology to shift our inner state. They don’t force relaxation—they invite regulation.
We can rewire the nervous system through experience and repetition. When we bring awareness to how we hold ourselves—our resting muscle tone, our breathing, our posture—we begin to update old patterns in the brain.
This is about restoring natural mobility and ease . The body learns that it can mobilize when needed and also rest when it’s safe. Over time, this builds true resilience—the ability to move fluidly between activation and calm.
A simple way to begin is by noticing what’s happening inside with a non-judgment non-corrective attitude:
-
Where do you feel effort or holding in your body right now?
-
Is your breath shallow, deep, or are you holding your breath?
-
Are your shoulders and arms squeezing in, or are you pressing your tongue into the roof of your mouth or the backs of your teeth?
These small observations tell the nervous system it can let go, that there’s no threat right now. Over time, this gentle awareness helps reduce symptoms like racing heart, heat in the body, or tension in the jaw and chest.
The body isn’t just the container for our stress—it’s also the pathway out. By learning to sense ourselves, move, and breathe with awareness, we can help our nervous system find its natural balance again. The result isn’t just relief from physical symptoms—it’s a deeper sense of safety and presence in our own skin.
The Wild – Our Authentic Self
As children, a lot of us aren’t taught to be ourselves, we are taught to fit in, and in many cases this helps us survive. However, often this means that we turn away from the more unique, sensitive, intuitive, playful, expressive, and imaginative parts of ourselves. In doing so we disconnect from the emotional and spiritual parts of us that hold the information about who we truly are and our larger purpose in life. We disconnect from our innate gifts and talents we are meant to share with the world. This often results in feelings of loneliness, emptiness, stuckness, anger, and sadness as adults.
The Wild isn’t about ignoring consequences or acting feral out of selfishness. Instead, it’s about tuning into the underlying natural wisdom that exists within – the blueprint you were born with that holds the truth of who you are. Embracing this allows us to drop the masks and the ways we have been performing to meet external standards and expectations, to instead start living in ways that allow us to determine our own.
