Alchemy of the Heart

Alchemy of the heart

In our modern society, it is easy to give the appearance of doing well on the surface, yet deep inside you feel disconnected.

You feel stuck, stagnant, uninspired, frustrated, stressed. You have this feeling there must be more to life than what you are currently experiencing. You have this sense that something isn’t quite right, but you aren’t quite sure what that is or what to do about it. You desire to experience something more, something bigger, something more expansive, something more aligned.

In short, you desire to experience a deeper connection to your true Self and to the world around you.

I have been there before. I have experienced feeling numb to my feelings and emotions, the frustrations that arise from a sense of emptiness, and know the struggle of lacking true connection to the life around you.

I see you. I feel you. And I want you to know there is more.

So. Much. More.

Another life is available to you. One of deep connection with Self. One of deep connection with the world and people around you. One of adventure, fulfillment, and happiness. It is all there, waiting for you to make the commitment to yourself, to take the steps necessary to claim this life. However, no one else can do this for you. It must be you who chooses it for yourself.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao Tzu

And yet, even if you feel this deeper knowing that there must be more, it can still feel so difficult, even daunting, to begin to take the steps towards your desired life.

Why is that?

From all that I’ve encountered in almost a decade of lived personal experience, extensive research, and trainings, from healing my body from ‘incurable’ autoimmune disease (ulcerative colitis), to diving deep into inner embodiment work, resolving self-limiting and self-sabotaging patterns and beliefs, and clearing deeply embedded blockages around living a life that was true to me, I realized the underlying thread that tied all of these pieces together was this:

NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION

Pretty much everything that we experience in life goes through the nervous system. The part of the nervous system that is of interest to us is the Autonomic Nervous System, meaning “automatic”, ie. out of our control (supposedly). The Autonomic Nervous System is broken into two main components: the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous System.

The Sympathetic Nervous System is commonly known as our “fight, flight, or freeze” nervous system. This is the part of the nervous system that is activated during a stressful event or life-threatening situation. The activation of the Sympathetic Nervous System triggers the production of stress-inducing chemicals, such as adrenaline and cortisol. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as it does have its purpose. In our evolutionary past, when we had to run from danger (say a lion), we needed that massive boost of stress-inducing chemicals to be able to escape and survive. After a few minutes once we had escaped the situation, we were able to return to our resting state and continue on as normal. A healthy functioning sympathetic nervous system is able to activate for short periods of time before allowing the body to return to a state of rest.

The Parasympathetic Nervous System is commonly known as the “rest, digest, restore” nervous system. This is the part of the nervous system responsible for the body’s maintenance and healing, which occurs in states of deep rest. When the Parasympathetic Nervous System is activated, the body is flooded with endorphins (the feel-good hormones) and chemicals that promote feelings of safety, peace, and rest, all of which support the natural healing properties of the body to awaken. As humans, we were designed to live primarily in a parasympathetic state, feeling safe, peaceful, and at rest in our bodies, able to enjoy the magic of the world around us.

It is important to note here that neither nervous system state is inherently good or bad. Both are needed. The issue we run into in modern society is that people tend to live in states of chronic stress. We have jobs, bills, food to buy, and a million other things that keep us stuck in a constant go-go-go mentality, requiring that we are always DOing. Doing this, doing that, on to the next thing. Never slowing down to truly process any of it, let alone allow our bodies to rest and recharge. Our modern world is largely in a sympathetic state. ALL. THE. TIME. Chronic states of stress lead to overall nervous system dysregulation which eventually leads to a wide array of physical, mental, and emotional health conditions.

Oftentimes, it is due to our inability to process the complex landscape of our psycho-emotional experience that leads to mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and others. In not addressing our psycho-emotional landscape and subconscious blockages, we are creating and perpetuating a chronic state of stress, which, if not resolved, eventually manifests as mental or physical dis-ease.

I believe the key to true health at every level of our Being is learning to regulate your nervous system through forming connections between your external world and your personal somatic experience (your body). In choosing to eat foods which benefit your overall health, you are learning nervous system regulation through connecting with your body. In allowing yourself to fully feel and process your emotions, you learn to regulate your nervous system through connecting with your body. In engaging in meditation, breathwork, yoga, and other embodiment practices, you are learning to regulate your nervous system through connecting with your body.

Nervous system regulation is ultimately about dropping out of your mind and coming into your body. Your body holds all the answers, and when you are able to quiet down the nervous system and quiet down the mind, you tap into the infinite intelligence within your body. When you quiet yourself enough to listen, you hear the voice of your Intuition, the whispers of your Heart, the calling of your Soul. This is what I am so passionate about sharing with others.

And if you decide you are ready for this journey back to Self, then this is what I am passionate about sharing with YOU.

We all have a vision for what our personal dream life is. However, your ability to actually live that life is largely determined by core beliefs you hold about yourself and the world around you. These core beliefs typically develop early in life in moments where we did not feel safe to fully express and process our emotions. This sympathetic activation wasn’t able to reach its natural conclusion, and so our bodies became stuck, our mind wrote a story to rationalize it, and it became a subconscious belief. Once a subconscious belief is written, it plays like an automated program, causing you to repeat the same patterns over and over again.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it fate. But it is certainly not fate.” - Carl Jung

It is through bringing awareness to your subconscious realms that the deepest healing begins. In helping you to illuminate these core beliefs, we are able to uncover the blockages that keep you stuck, enabling you to develop strategies towards rewriting these beliefs in ways that serve you, as well as supporting you through any relevant life changes that accompany these new beliefs.

Through creating safe containers for the inner excavation of your psycho-emotional landscape, we are able to unearth and clear these blockages, allowing your creative energy to flow freely once again, propelling you towards the more expansive life you intuitively know is possible.

We live in an exciting time where the worlds of science and spirituality are beginning to merge, allowing us to utilize the knowledge and wisdom of both for our benefit. Using a variety of tools and techniques, both ancient and modern, we are able to work with the neuroplasticity of the brain, creating new neural pathways that support and enhance your experience of life.

Through taking a full-spectrum approach and examining the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of your life, you develop clarity and insight into what is and isn’t currently serving you and where you can come into greater alignment with the life you desire to live.

In receiving effective tools and techniques, as well as personalized guidance and support wherever you are in your journey, you can begin to align yourself with the calling of your Heart, living more fully in each moment and experiencing more of what life has to offer.

As a Coach, my job is not to ‘change’ you in any way. Rather, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey, to support you through the growing pains that often accompany expansion, to ask the right questions at the right time, and to guide you back to yourself over and over and over again.

I believe that everyone deserves to feel seen, to feel heard, to feel supported, and to live the life of their dreams. This is why I am so passionate about helping others take the steps towards living a life filled with more passion, clarity, and purpose. In working with me as a Coach, I will do all that I can to support you in the ways that are most serving to you and your personal growth.

It is my intention that when our time is up, you will have the tools, resources, and resiliency to be able to move forward, following the calling of your Heart.
