The reclaiming of words and our connection to them is a heart-centered joy I’m thrilled to share with you during this weeks visit “Now vs. Then: Disappointment Across the Years” In flipping the script on Disappointment as an empowered action, verse something we did or caused out of no intention of our own is a framework I am delighted to explore in this visit. It’s the small phrase “It’s Okay to Disappoint People” that’s supports the role of my executive functioning and helps me start the process of connected communication in a beautiful. honest, upfront way. We don’t need to fear disappointing people, it is okay my dear ones! xo May this little gem from my heart practice to yours seep into your day and support those potentially anxious, uncertain, run-away thought moments to ground yourself in commUnity ans in the permission knowing with a soul full-heart that it is OKAY to disappoint people. And in my experience the spiralling negative outcome we expect… is rarely the experience we get to share afterwards 😉

Hi Bodies! We all come with a unique set of care instructions, but do we listen to them? Like many plants there are growing conditions that help one thrive, best practices for care or they.. wither. If someone picked you up, what would your label say? Needs daily downtime? loves dim lightening? don’t book back to back meetings? regular joy-full cardio and strength building exercise? When we follow our own care instructions - the ones we are we are given through our unique and precious embodiments - we are able to thrive. When we accept our Bodies and what they require, verse fight our own growing conditions towards a wellness ethic we lean into what is, not we we want life to be. It is here, we are able to stop and grow. 🌻🪁🌸🌿🌵🍁

Finding the Fall spirit lingering through the air, we seek back into comfort more visibly. In the fabrics of the poof filled vests, the extra fuzzy blankets, the heating pads, and fireplaces, the scents, and candles, and hues of the glowing world around us we see a building of a nesting heart. May this visit welcome you to find and to make known the small comforts of the sensory supportive world around you, in your home, on your Body, in you car, in your heart, the touch of a caring comfort in the objects, scents, sounds, tastes and touches of rest and support that are available to you. As we move through this visit, we make known the observation of words and how they land in our Bodies - the places we can soften into with how we describe our decisions and thus, deactivate the narratives that move us into right or wrong, but moves us internally into safety and kindness of our own well-being. To the words and supports that soothe and support us 💗 To the love of nesting, Yours in Body - T

Hi Bodies! This week is a tough one for many folks. It marks the return to school.

Usually a time decorated with excitement and anticipation, now lined with the fatigue of another space of newness, of exhausting social output, of already being bloody tired.

If you are returning to a school, a new job or helping your families get organized know excitement doesn’t need to be part of your experience right now, the World is tired.

We are tired of trying to keep our heads above water, let alone learning from a place of struggle.

We are already burnt out and overwhelmed before having even started.

And this is where our schools needs to start, with how we are feeling. With our exhaustion being spoken into, without masking how we are really feeling.

This visit is a reminder to speak our truth in our class introductions, with our peers, our colleagues, our supervisors our boss, to start out with our Mind and Body, at the Centre of our relationships.

Not only does this remind us of the labour of learning, but of our Bodies at the Centre of these spaces. It’s hard work to feel prepared right now, the Body isn’t able to catch up.

And so together, may we ask for more information that we need to feel supported by, may we speak our schedules through gentle ease, lessen our work expectations, set boundaries, say no to taking more on, and reduce our work load; already knowing the load we are carrying is a lot.

May we see how the way we carried on before, will not carry us forward now.

Check your syllabi.

Reduce your reading lists.

Start morning classes later.

Check what participation and attendance means from a place of full MindBody wellness. Showing up, doesn’t mean we are in-person. Let the Pandemic Learning Culture of 2020 remind us of a slower culture, one that we can use to shape a healthier future with less on the go.

Regulating our emotions and the temperature of those emotions is often a hard process to see and build awareness around.

With intensity at the Centre, perhaps that’s where we can begin. Reclaiming the ways our Bodies move through the every day actions and reactions, reminding our dearly beloved selves that;

“This moment doesn’t actually need to be so intense right now”

Giving our Bodies the reflection of personally agency, of a fact, to re-member that not everything has to be intense to get something done, to be heard, or be seen, for things to be noticed, for you to the noticed.

For the visitation today, that supports the diffusing of personal blame of a previous self and our wrapped experiences of intensity; from the quiet and underneath, to the out loud and explosive shifting towards the agency of a power-full Love, an expression of care knowing that “This moment, doesn’t need to be so intense” and that we are still cared for. To see and be known, may we walk slowly together in spacious reclaiming a gentle-ease as a place we can rest within. To the witnessing of our Bodies responding to togetherness for an ease that is always allowed and is mindfully available to us, one practicing, re-membering moment at a time.

Yours in Body,

Taryn (she/they)

Hi Bodies! 🚀🎈How can we climatise to new situations? What cues can our Bodies give us in terms of when and how to set a healthy time limit towards our social engagements? Leaning into a new way of gathering, taking care of our Bodies that has this stunning spacious ability to feel satisfied and to use that as a cue to say our goodbyes 👋💛✨🐌🌻🎉 From my ever learning Body to Yours, To a Soft and Ease-Full Weekend Friends! - T xo

A walk into language. How often do we use the word Bad in our days? What defines the containers of the language we use with and against our Bodies on the daily? In this Visit we hold invitations to explore words such as bad vs good, mental stress vs mental health, and visit vs episode that are spacious and more personally accurate to their meaning and place in our lives, words that are less black and white. — Visit 2 — T

Walk-In Together 💛💫🌷
