Neuroscientist Dr Jill Bolte Taylor found that an emotion moves through the body in about 90 seconds. A wave of chemistry rises, peaks, and passes.
So what keeps us carrying the same feelings for years?
It isn’t the emotion itself. It’s everything we wrapped around it. The thought.
The memory. The meaning. The story …eventually, the identity we built around it.
A feeling that could have moved through the body in moments becomes an identity we carry for years.
After years of working with the body, I’ve come to understand something deeply:
The body is not our enemy.
The body is incredibly intelligent.
It remembers.
It protects.
It adapts.
It holds what we weren’t ready, or didn’t feel safe enough, to fully feel.
What we call a “blockage” is often the body holding a charge from something that happened a long time ago.
This is one of the reasons I love Spinal Flow.
We aren’t forcing the body to change.
We aren’t trying to think our way out of our patterns.
We create the space for the nervous system to soften… to listen… to release what it no longer needs to carry.
And when the mind becomes quiet enough, the body knows exactly what to do.
The breath knows.
The nervous system knows.
The body knows.
You don’t have to understand the entire story before you can begin releasing what is underneath it.
Sometimes healing is surrendering enough to let the body finish what it started.
To feel.
To allow.
To release.
To return to yourself.
If you’ve been carrying something for longer than you can explain, your body isn’t asking you to figure it all out.
It’s asking you to listen.
I have a few openings this month for those who feel called to explore this work with me. 🤍
