The Triad of the Pelvis, Womb (space) and Hips
What’s the link?
As some of you already know, last week I attended a ground-breaking pain conference in York (England).
I went along keen to hear the latest understanding of pain science. Largely so that I could see how that aligned with the path of research and making changes that I embarked upon in 2018 and have stayed with since. A journey into the unknown that’s taken me from where I once was (disabled by chronic pain and invisible illness) to where I am now (living a life I love).
What I received was the most validation I’ve ever had in my life.
I set an intention to meet at least one or two energetically aligned souls. What I met was an entire room full and I’ve since connected with each magnificent speaker on Linked In.
My confidence went through the roof that day.
No longer am I in a space where I am being told I don’t know what I’m doing, or I’m too this or too that. I’m receiving confirmation from every angle that I do know what I’m doing and that what I’m doing is what I’m meant to be doing. Not only that, I am feeling supported from every angle.
It is this lift-off that helped me pave the way to (finally) launching The Temple of the Pelvis. A breathwork and embodiment journey to reclaim your power from the root.
On Wednesday evening, 5 of us embarked on the exploratory journey of our pelvis, womb (space) and hips. All in a very gentle, held and brave space.
Together, we explored tension, pain, patterns. Through our breath, meditation and tender touch.
Insights and messages were gleaned. Connections to ancestors were made. Feelings were felt. Deep inner knowings rose to the surface. We witnessed ourselves through the lens of our internal world and then we witnessed one another as we shared of our experiences in circle.
Even those of us who attended in pain in the pelvic, hip and womb (space) region felt nourished and were able to become present with the sensations in their body. Feeling safe and held to do so. The outcome of which was a shift in the intensity of the pain.
It was at last week’s pain conference where an example of nervous system overwhelm during a client-therapist meeting was highlighted. Our nervous system moves into overwhelm when we receive too little for too long, or – in this case – too much too soon. Resulting in involuntary movements or spasms in the pelvic region of the client for 15 minutes.
In the last year or so, as my offerings have really been merging and fusing for the first time, I have been reminded that
with great power comes great responsibility
and it is crucial to me that I ensure that this does not happen when we meet in circle or work in any other capacity together. In these spaces, we do not move too fast too soon. We do not receive too little for too long.
This was reflected by what was shared after we closed the circle:
“That’s just what I needed.”
“I want this more.”
“I feel comfortable in my body today.”
“My shoulders feel really good.”
“I’m in pain, but I feel nourished.”
I had intended to record this workshop, however, in honouring the nervous system and taking participants to places I hadn’t imagined (for example with their ancestral lineage and depth of insights), these offerings will not be recorded.
It transpires that this offering is in alignment with Free To Be Me. Where I bring together a combination of my yoga teacher training, bodywork massage therapy and circle facilitation studies.
I have intended for these to be much more regular since first bringing it all together as a new creation back in December. You’ll just have to bear with me for now whilst I get them up and running.
What’s next
You might recall last year we met together in circle over the week of the witch. I launched a series of 3 consecutive circles over this potent window of transformational energy. We will run a series of 3 circles again this year, this time taking you on the journey of The Warrior’s Path.
