embody. She tried to not let me come into this life, as she told
me when I was thirteen. Oh mom, I adore you but you can’t go
against life. Life is stronger and here I am. I recall a moment in
the cradle, seems crazy I know, but I was there. The first moment
I was totally aware of my body. And the other moment I was
totally aware was the moment that my body almost left me. Had
an accident twenty years ago. I crashed a glass door at home and
I almost lost my hand. It was freaking intense. It was the biggest
and first dramatic moment I had with my body.
I would like
to invite you
to create a
relationship
with your body
In the hospital. Laying there, waiting for the doctors. Bleeding,
bleeding. I lost like two liters of blood. My body was like giving
up and I had to deal with it. I had to be there and ask “hey body,
don’t give up now.” I knew that if I failed that moment, I would
not come back home to take care of my kids and keep on creating
the wonderful life I came here to live.
That moment. I had to have a big negotiation with my body. The
deal was clear, no more distraction, no more abuse, cultivate total
presence. Since then I am delivering loads of kindness, caring
and gratitude to this gift I got twice. What about you?
Are you grateful for having a body ?
What was the first time you had a relationship of intimacy with
your body? When I say intimacy I mean Honoring, caring, being
totally present with your body. Would you be willing to start
doing it now?
I would like to invite you to create a relationship with your body
You can start it by checking if you are present in your body by
observing your breath. How is it? Is it short, is it deep ? Then
check your feet, are they grounded on the floor? How is the
temperature of your body now? Are you totally aware of all
parts of your body?
Now Imagine your body like a tree. A tree has roots, and it
has leaves. But from the roots to the leaves, there are lots of
connections with the earth. When we are not in our bodies, we
can t feel our feet on the ground. I’d like to invite you to check
your feet. Look them and perceive if the four corners of your
foot are grounded on the floor ( ball of big toes, base of the small
toe, internal and external part of the hills) of your feet touching
the earth ? Are you here? How is the sensation?
And now stretch your spine. I invite you to bring your tailbone
