Time, the magical element

”I went to a place, my grandmother's backyard, and I felt my whole body relax and get very heavy on the floor. I started traveling around noticing things, remembering music, remembering people. I want to go back there because I saw things and remembered things that I haven't thought of in years and I also thought, I bet I can see some things that I really didn't take note of when I was a child. It felt honestly magical. It felt like I went on this journey and I went deep into it and I can't wait to go back there now. That surprised me.”

Sounds lovely, doesn’t it?

Christine’s reflection is a common one in the Resource Reserve class, a monthly offering focused on savoring your most cherished memories and learning how to put them to use in daily life. These moments of connection often arise unexpectedly, and they can be deeply nourishing to both body and mind. Even if you don’t have a profound experience yourself, simply hearing others share—as Christine did—can have a settling, positive effect on your own nervous system. Their resources can become yours, too.

With that spirit of shared support in mind, I’m happy to let you know that the Winter Session of classes begins this Wednesday. Winter Neck and Long and Strong Back Chain are a powerful combination! If class cost is he barrier keeping you from joining, please let me know and we’ll work something out.

And for those moments between classes, when your body needs something but you’re not quite sure what to do, try slow circles. They’re gentle on your joints, and slow movement can help calm your nervous system. If you’d like guidance, you can use the recording of the 2025 Wind Down Class to support you.
