  Embodied Feminine Arts :

  Embodied Unwinding & Embodied Presencing

  There is a current of intelligent life force that circulates inside the meridian matrix flowing within the fluids of our connective tissue.  When surrendered to in Embodied Unwinding Practice, this current of energy has the power to unravel the postured conditioning of the mind’s illusory stories of separation, WITHIN THE BODIES TISSUE. It is the expression of the wisdom of our bodymind.

  An innate intelligence that spontaneously unwinds the tension stored in our fascia, created from identifying with thoughts & behaviours that are out of alignment with our True Nature.

  Subsequently creating space for infinite insight & knowing to arise in & through our BODIES & repattern our nervous systems from the inside out.  

  This current permeates through all the unconscious places of hiding from the truth of who we are & translates into directly experiential shifts in perception & behaviour, melting the heart open to experience the uncontrived Love & Wholeness that is our birth right.
