“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” — Albert Einstein

Somewhere, over time, we we taught that we were supposed to pay more attention to "facts." We were told to focus on the things that we could see because that which we can see is what is real and nothing else is. That which we can not measure is not real.

The thing is, we are constantly learning to measure new things that we couldn't see before. Just because you can't see something doesn't make it UNREAL.

We were taught to ignore our emotions and feelings. Taught that what we couldn't see, we could not depend on.

Logic matters. Science matters. Critical thinking matters.

But somewhere along the way, many of us stopped listening to the quieter voice inside. The feeling that tells us something is off before we can explain why. The inner knowing that nudges us toward a different path. The sense that our body often knows the answer long before our mind catches up.

As someone who works with the nervous system every day, I've seen this countless times. Clients will tell me they're "fine," while their breath, posture, tension patterns, and energy tell a completely different story.

The mind is great at creating stories and deceiving us for it's own safety.

The body is brilliant at telling the truth.

The goal isn't to choose intuition over logic or logic over intuition. It's to let them work together. Using your rational mind to evaluate the information. Using your intuitive mind to help you know where to look.

Sometimes healing begins not by thinking harder, but by listening a little more deeply.

When was the last time your intuition knew something before your mind did?

When someone makes me upset now I know it's my pain.

I've allowed myself to feel something that needs to be addressed on my side.

Blaming someone else for my reaction just doesn't make sense. Whatever regularly makes you upset is the thing you're body is telling you that you need to address most, just like any other pain. Your body is talking to you.

HOW YOUR TRIGGERS REFLECT YOUR PAIN

1. If you become defensive when corrected…
You may still be carrying wounds from harsh criticism, humiliation, or never feeling “good enough” growing up.

2. If you panic when people pull away…
You may be healing from abandonment wounds and the fear of being left behind emotionally.

3. If being ignored hurts deeply…
It may come from childhood neglect or years of feeling unseen, unheard, or emotionally unimportant.

4. If you overreact to small mistakes…
Perfectionism is often rooted in shame—the belief that making mistakes makes you unworthy of love or acceptance.

5. If you feel anxious when others are upset…
You may have grown up walking on eggshells in emotionally unpredictable environments.

6. If saying “no” fills you with guilt…
You may be carrying people-pleasing habits formed from fear of rejection, conflict, or losing love.

7. If jealousy easily consumes you…
It may reflect low self-worth, comparison wounds, or fear that you are not enough.

8. If you shut down during conflict…
You may come from environments where speaking honestly once led to punishment, fear, or emotional harm.

9. If you constantly need reassurance…

Past betrayals, inconsistency, or emotional instability may have taught your nervous system to fear losing connection.

The painful truth is:
many adult reactions are actually younger versions of ourselves
still trying to protect old wounds.

Healing begins the moment you stop asking:
“What’s wrong with me?”

And start asking:
“What pain inside me still needs compassion, safety, and healing?”

Hey McMinnville... quick reset.

Take a slow breath in through your nose...
and exhale.

Most of us are carrying more tension and stress than we realize.

My name is Eric Ruhm, and I’m new to the area.

For over 25 years I’ve worked in health and movement — beginning as a personal trainer and corrective exercise specialist, and eventually expanding into yoga, therapeutic bodywork, breathwork, and nervous system-focused wellness work.

As I continue getting established locally, I’m currently offering a limited number of mobile sessions while also exploring opportunities for small group breathwork, stress reduction, and restorative wellness experiences within the community.

I’d also love to connect with local therapists, trauma-informed practitioners, yoga instructors, wellness professionals, and community spaces that value collaborative, body-based approaches to healing and regulation.

If you know of welcoming spaces or practitioners who may be a good fit, feel free to reach out or tag them below.

And if you’d like to experience my work for yourself, send me a message anytime.

Looking forward to becoming part of the community here.

Looking for 2–4 people for small, in-person somatic sessions (May 19 & May 26)

I’m opening a couple of very small, in-person sessions as part of my continued training and I’m looking for a few people who feel genuinely called to this kind of work.

These will be intentional, guided experiences focused on:
• reconnecting with your body
• releasing held tension (physical + emotional)
• breath, energy, and nervous system work
• creating a space where your body can respond… not be forced

📅 Session Dates (must be able to commit):

May 19 (12:30 PM EST)
Ta***ic De-armouring Massage + Kundalini Activation
(hands-on + guided energy work)

May 26 (12:30 PM EST)
Kundalini Activation Workshop
(fully clothed, breath + energy-based session)

⏳ Time Commitment:

Each session will run approximately 2 hours

Please plan to:
• arrive a few minutes early to settle in
• be ready to begin at 12:30 sharp
• stay for the full duration to support both your experience and the group container

⚠️ Please read before reaching out:

This is not a casual drop-in or something to “try if you feel like it.”

I’m looking for people who:
• can fully commit to the time and container
• are open to body-based and breathwork experiences
• are comfortable in a small group setting (2+ people)
• are willing to stay present with themselves (even if things feel unfamiliar)

No experience needed—just openness and willingness.

💬 What this is (and isn’t):

This work can feel deeply relaxing, emotional, energizing, or subtle—everyone’s experience is different.

It’s less about “doing it right” and more about:
👉 listening to your body
👉 allowing what’s there to move
👉 building a sense of safety and awareness from within

📍Details:

• In-person
• Small group (very limited spots)
• Location shared after confirmation

If this speaks to you, message me directly with:
“I’m interested” + which date(s)

I’ll follow up with a few quick questions to make sure it’s a good fit.

There was a season in my life.

My body was literally screaming at me.

I had pain, chronic anxiety from fibromyalgia, and I even had a stress related heart attack.

I know what it feels like to live in a body that doesn't feel safe.

There was a lot of fixing going on at that time... trying to find the right supplement, trying to make sure that I did the right stretches, just a lot of trying.

What I found out was that I didn't start healing until I started letting go of the trying.

And that was one of the biggest growth moments I've ever had.

When I started letting go and when I started really listening, that's when all the big changes really started to happen, and honestly it was pretty uncomfortable for a couple minutes there.

Not knowing what was going on and why I was reacting the way I was reacting.

But what I realized was I wasn't reacting to something that was happening in that moment, I was letting go of something that happened in the past.

The journey changed everything for me.

And now I spend my time helping people reconnect to their bodies, to slow things down, and to create safety.

You can reduce pain and tension to your body by increasing safety, not through force.

If you've been stuck in pain, I get it.

And there's another way, and I look forward to helping.

I didn't create the 7 day nervous system reset becuase I've got it all figured out. I made it because I'm just like everybody else and I know what feels like to have stress live in the body.

When your mind wants peace but your system stays activated.
When you're trying hard but you're feeling stuck.
A lot of what helped me wasn't doing more, it was learning how to LISTEN.

How to create safety.
How to slow down long enough to notice what my body was asking for.
How to work with myself instead of against myself.

That's what inspired the seven-day nervous system reset.

Simple tools, real life practices, and no perfection needed. Sometimes a small shift, and repeated consistency changes more than force ever could.

Sometimes the reset we need isn’t complicated.

Fresh air.
Bare feet on the ground.
Sunlight on your face.
A slower breath.
A moment without noise.

The body often feels balance faster than the mind does.

Today feels like a good reminder that healing doesn’t always come from adding more.

Sometimes it comes from reconnecting with what was already here. Remember to touch the ground today and give thanks for giving you all the building blocks necessary to let you be a participant in this life experiment.

Happy Earth Day.

And if your system has been craving a deeper reset lately... I’m building something for that too.
