Myofascial Release - Stepping Into Your Power

What would the world be like if we all felt powerful... as in empowered, full of self, confident in our choices and in our bodies' ability to heal and move and do all the things? When I used to think about strength I thought of me pushing that crossbar with weight high in the sky at the gym. That feeling where you moved all your plants inside for the winter, the dresser to the other wall, and didn't ask for or need any help. I think of strength and power differently now.

What if power was resilience and our ability to get back up after being knocked down? That to ask for help and to honor our body by not pushing to the limits all the ding dong day was where that light that feeds our heart and soul was built from... that empowered space of knowing oneself. 

You don't need a lifetime or a big setback or even age to show you that. Nope...just a few moments of your time. Moments...small moments of undivided attention where you quiet the chatter and sit in stillness...and listen to your body as you engage the edges of where your body stops and then softens, and lets go. A body that moves freely, that bounces a bit when you stumble, and then lets you know when it is a good time to ask for help or take a break is big strength. When you know your body, you know when you can go full out as in all systems GO. (Go Body Go!)

In this week's Stretch of the Week, We are stretching the hamstrings AND we are adding that lift through the top of the head as we settle into our hips...holding spaces as we melt and expand into all we are. It's just a moment but indeed a powerful one.

 Enjoy the Stretch of the Week!  

Fascia is the Way!
