What if your body is part of the conversation?
Think about somebody who really gets under your skin.
They don’t need to be standing in front of you. You can simply think about them and notice what happens.
Maybe your jaw tightens. Your shoulders rise. Your stomach contracts. Your chest feels different or your breathing becomes shallower. Nothing has physically happened in that moment, yet something in you has responded.
I find that interesting.
We can spend a lot of time trying to understand ourselves through the story in our head, while the body may be responding to something before we have even found the words for it.
That doesn’t mean every physical sensation has an emotional explanation, and it certainly doesn’t mean ignoring a physical or medical cause. But sometimes the body gives us another place to become curious.
What happens in me when this particular person, memory or situation comes up?
Perhaps intellectually we understand exactly what happened, yet something in us still reacts when we meet the same situation again.
That reflection connects with Gene Key 47, which moves from Oppression, through Transmutation, to Transfiguration.
For me, the interesting part is not trying to force an old reaction away. It is becoming aware of what is still showing up and allowing that awareness to change our relationship with it.
Not, “What is wrong with me?”
More, “What is happening here, and what might this reaction be showing me?”
If there is a person, situation or recurring experience where you already know the story but still find yourself reacting in the same way, that is enough to start with.
You don’t need to know what is underneath it before you come. That is the work.
In a 60-minute one-to-one session, we can slow the experience down, notice what shows up in the mind and body, and become curious about the pattern underneath the reaction.
60-minute one-to-one session — $150.
