The Issues Live in Our Tissues

I thought that talk therapy would heal every part of me that needed healing. I was wrong. Making sense of our past negative experiences, including our traumas, requires a sense-based healing approach. As my friend Nikki Myers, creator of Yoga 12 Step Recovery, has long said, "The issues live in our tissues." I wish this weren't true, but I do know now that stress trapped in our body is best discharged through sensorimotor (sense- and movement-based) practice. Trauma-informed yoga is one of the best modalities for healing; so, too, is breathwork (although it can be triggering if not practiced carefully).

I prefer gentle movements like stretching and walking, which are easier for this asthmatic. My friend Payton will tell you that mindful dance should be in everybody's movement practice, and I tend to agree that it works well. Of course, sports and other exercise can help move energy that needs to be displaced too. As with all things in recovery, you get to choose how to move your body into wellness.

Movement is our friend when we choose movement that feels right for us.

Today's reading is from the book She Recovers Every Day: Meditations for Women*
