Coming Home to Yourself Begins with Inner Awareness

“Our internal processes, provoked by present external influences, or by forgotten, painful, previous experiences of the outside world, change our intentions to act as well as the way we act. You are as good as you wish; you are certainly more creative in imagining alternatives that you know. If you know “what” you are doing and even more important “how” you use yourself to act, you will be able to do things the way you want. I believe that the world’s most important advice “know thyself” was first said by one who learned to know oneself.”
What if unlocking your true potential begins with understanding yourself?
If there is one thing we should place greater importance on, it’s our connection to ourselves.
Why? Nearly everything that makes us “us” has been learned and “wired in” after birth with the help of our engagement with our environment.
By deepening our self-awareness, we pave the way for profound personal transformation.
In general, we go about our day not giving much thought to how we do what we do or even if what we do is what we really want to be doing. More often than not we behave from a place of what we believe is expected of us, what helps us feel that we fit in. This is grossly affected by our upbringing, culture, environment. Suddenly we find ourselves becoming irritated for no apparent reason, where it’s the deep reflections that reveal to us the true reason behind our unhappiness - our actions are not aligned with our true self.
Other times, what invites us to arrive at this place of inquiry is chronic pain, injury, a sudden medical condition that asks of us a radical change.
Neuroplasticity is our brain’s ability to change, reorganize and create new neural connections. It is what gives the reins back to us for the change we are looking to see within ourselves. It involves all of you and it requires awareness.
You might have landed on my page because it feels like you’ve drifted away from yourself - as if there’s a quiet disconnect from your own depth, a longing to feel whole and to live in a way that honors who you truly are.
If that resonates with you, I want you to know that you are not alone.
There is a simple yet profound somatic practice rooted in awareness and gentle movement that helps you sense yourself again, uncovering parts of yourself layer by layer. A practice that guides you back to you.
