Somatic healing for women who struggle to trust their Intuition
I’ve loved listening to Eileens THE WOO CURIOUS podcast and earlier this year I had the opportunity to meet Eileen and dive into a conversation around Intuition.
Our podcast episode explores how intuition can be accessed through the body.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to speak to the work I do and how such practices of body awareness, movement and creative expression help us reconnect with ourselves, regulate emotions and build self trust.
Some key takeaways:
~ It’s not about ‘skill’, it’s about curiosity. When it comes to movement & creative arts the goal is exploration, not performance or final pieces
~ Our intuition can be accessed in many ways, unique to each of us. Intuition can show up as gut feelings, physical sensations and subtle body signals. The invitation here is to more familiar with how your body is speaking to you.
~ Disconnection from ourselves happens gradually. We might lose touch due to over reliance on logic, societal conditioning, our bodies response to feeling unsafe. Reconnection requires intentional practice and it’s what I’m here to support women with and what all my books and resources support and invite. We don’t always know where to begin, allow me to offer some gentle tips and suggestions to begin.
Some entry points for this, I explain in the episode are:
Noticing the breath - we aren’t looking to change the breath here, but we are noticing, observing, becoming aware of
Presencing the body and Body gratitude
Impulse Stretch practice
These and more are explored in my book BODY WISDOM, where I offer 20+ invitations to begin re-connecting with your body in creative reflective ways. Available in e-book, paperback and audio.
Your body is always communicating with you.
The work is learning how to listen again.
Learning to trust your intuition can be challenging, especially when past experiences have taught you to question your own feelings. Somatic healing offers a thoughtful way to reconnect with the body and better understand the signals it provides. Taking time to slow down and listen inwardly can make a real difference. While exploring resources such as CKHR, it is also important to remember that rebuilding self-trust is often a gradual and deeply personal journey. Creating a sense of safety within yourself may help intuition feel clearer and more accessible over time.
