I choose to focus on who I am rather than what I’m not (though I believe recognizing areas for growth is essential and are a sign of self-awareness and intelligence). I want to clarify that I’m not a doctor, scientist, or “expert” in Body-Mind Coherence. I am, however, a human being—an expression of love and light, just like you. I am, as we all are, a part of the vast unity of consciousness, sharing this experience in the physical realm we call Earth. For me, this reality is a beautiful, epic, challenging, joyful, frustrating, hilarious, and spectacular journey to share with others.

In recent years, the concept of body-mind coherence has gained traction in wellness circles and scientific research alike. But what does it really mean? At its core, body-mind coherence refers to the harmonious alignment between our physical state and mental processes. This synergy creates a powerful feedback loop where each aspect influences the other, promoting holistic well-being. When we achieve body-mind coherence, we tap into our innate ability to heal ourselves from within, unlocking a path to better health and emotional resilience.

The truth is our bodies are constantly communicating with us through sensations, instincts, and even subtle shifts in our posture or breath. Yet, in our day-to-day lives, we rarely tune into these messages. When we ignore or suppress this inner communication, we lose touch with valuable insights about our well-being and emotional states. For example, feelings of stress or unease often manifest in the body before they reach the level of conscious thought, but if we’re not attuned to these signals, we miss the early signs that something might be out of balance.

Inner child work is a profoundly transformative practice that invites us to reconnect with the tender, vulnerable parts of ourselves that often get buried beneath layers of adulthood.  I’d heard the term “inner child” before many times before I began my healing journey and to be honest always sort scoffed at the idea.  It felt so silly to think about or consider an “inner child”.  Boy was I wrong. These "younger selves" are not just distant memories; they are alive in our subconscious, influencing our emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Tuning into this part of myself truly felt like rediscovering an old friend—one who has been waiting for acknowledgment and love. By giving our inner child the attention they deserve, we offer ourselves the gift of healing, integration, and wholeness.
