Intuitive movement is a delightful practice that not only allows you to express yourself but also works wonders in soothing the nervous system and fostering emotional balance.

So, grab a comfy spot, and let's explore the science and warmth behind this transformative journey.

Understanding Intuitive Movement: Picture this: no rules, no choreography, just you and your body dancing out the rhythm of your emotions. Intuitive movement is about letting go and allowing your body to guide the way. It's a simple yet powerful practice that has caught the attention of both wellness enthusiasts and scientists alike.

The Science Bit - Nervous System Soothing: Moving therapy allows your body's energy to freely express itself without the interference of the mind's interpretation. Memories stored in the unconscious mind carry an energetic imprint that can be challenging to access and release through traditional mental processes. Trying to process these memories with the mind may unintentionally, reinforce the associated energy. Moving therapy provides a direct pathway to release stored energy in the body and nervous system, bypassing the complexities of language, storytelling, and logic. Scientifically, this approach aligns with the understanding that the body stores and releases energy, somatic therapy has an advantage over traditional therapy as mental processes may not always be the most effective means of accessing and releasing energy.

Embracing Emotional Benefits: Now, let's talk emotions. Life is a rollercoaster, and sometimes we need an outlet to release pent-up feelings. Intuitive movement provides a safe space for emotional expression. As you move freely, emotions are given a voice—joy, frustration, sadness—they all find a place in your dance. It's like giving your emotions a canvas to paint their stories, creating a beautiful tapestry of self-expression.

The Mind-Body Connection: Science tells us that our minds and bodies are intricately connected. Intuitive movement taps into this connection, allowing you to embody your emotions. By moving with intention and mindfulness, you bring awareness to the physical sensations associated with your feelings. This holistic approach enhances self-awareness and contributes to a healthier mind-body relationship.

Getting Started: One of the beauties of intuitive movement is its accessibility. You don't need to be a professional dancer or follow a set routine. Find a quiet space, put on some music that resonates with your mood, or unwind in the canvas of silence and let your body take the lead. Start with simple movements—swaying, stretching, or even gentle rocking. The key is to listen to your body and let the movements flow organically.

I like to start with a still, body scan and then on mob second round of a head to toe body scan, imagining that if the sensations, energy or emotions I can feel in my body, had a movement. what would that movement be? from there, the practice has started.

In a world buzzing with to-do lists and constant demands, intuitive movement stands as a beacon of self-care. It's a journey into the depths of your being, an embrace of your emotions, and a gentle massage for your nervous system. We can literally move ourselves free.
