February Melodies

Hello friends,

I’ve been noticing a trend lately, both in and out of the office. There’s an awakening, or a despair, or a collective search. Does this seem to happen every February? Maybe. Is our world a particularly heavy place right now? Sure is. I sat to write this newsletter, and for some reason a muffin or tea recipe did not seem adequate. Like many, I’ve been in need of something more. And there’s been a particular urgency.

So I thought to write and share some things and some people and some melodies that are making me feel back in my body, and helping to unclench a bit. The latter - clenching - has been a big theme I think for many. What does your body feel like when you read the news? When your alarm goes off in the morning?When you’re driving to work or packing lunches? How do we release, let go. I think there’s a notion if we do this we lose power. That’s not what I’m getting at. I think we have a need to control, and there’s a necessity to, at times. But what does this feel like if we maintain control day in day out. How do we hold onto this tightness in our bodies? Can we tap into what it feels like to relinquish control. I keep thinking of expansion and contraction. This is the foundation of everything. This is birth. This is breath. This is a heartbeat. We have the ability of doing both, but I think as humans we sometimes forget to stop contracting.

Accessing how we do this is different for everybody. That’s the beauty of humanity - we are all wonderfully / perplexingly different. For me, I’m a bit over words. It feels like every day we are being bombarded by them. How do we help ourselves by going inward, with a bit more quiet? How do we feel a bit more calm in this world right now? Here are some things that have helped me.
