Taking care of our Sacred Anatomy means coming out of outdated attitudes of fixing or “getting better”. Real self care is about unconditional companionship with self through presence. In this episode I offer real, practical, loving methods no matter what challenges we may be facing. Whether we have mental, spiritual, physical or social issues, we can let go of any goals to be here now and attend to our body and care for our soul.

“My stealth gratitude practice is the last thing I do at night before I fall asleep and the first thing I do in the morning. It is especially helpful if I have had a difficult day or I’m experiencing physical symptoms or a lot of “mind stuff”, citta vritti, the useless looping of thoughts. What I do is quick and simple, as I close me eyes I feel the gratitude of the very simple things I am experiencing right then, things like the dark, the bed, my home, the end of the day, warmth, and quiet. When I wake up, though sometimes the night has been restless or sleep interrupted, I feel gratitude for my life, the privilege of being alive, and my close companions in this lifetime, my good friends and family who I will be with today in proximity or at a distance, and my heroic clients, these underworld companions and peers who I will journey with soon. These brief moments with my eyes closed at the end and beginning of each day feel like my most potent agreement renewed through gratitude, my YES to this world, to my incarnation and to my mission. These yeses, my receptive opening to what is good and feels good, even if I feel pain and discomfort, trumps the habitual negation mind sometimes places on reality, and I can cycle through my days with these blessings, like checkpoints on my life.” Find more entries like this on my Instagram page @synchrosoma
