Where Do You Hold Tension? A Sacred Invitation to Slow Down and Come Home to Your Body

7/18/2025

0 Comments

 
Last night, I felt it—the tension in my jaw and face.
Like something was being held.
Stress. Emotion.

Something unspoken, unnamed… but fully alive in my body.
As I moved through the evening—making dinner, tucking kids in, brushing little teeth, picking up toys—I didn’t dwell on it.
But I knew.

I knew my body was trying to get my attention.
After the house got quiet, I slipped into my yoga room.

Sometimes I move.
But last night, I needed stillness.

I lit a candle, sat with my harmonium, and began to chant.
Almost instantly, the tears came.
Not from thinking or trying.
Just from making space.

My body—my breath—finally had room to speak.
And I listened.
I didn’t try to figure it out.
I didn’t force anything to move.
I just let it flow.

Warm tears down my cheeks.
Steady music rising flowing from my harmonium. 
Images floating through my mind—not for analysis, just to be witnessed.

This is the kind of healing that doesn’t need words.
It just needs space.

And this is exactly what we do inside Embody.

If you’ve been holding things without even realizing it--
If your body has been whispering for you to slow down--
If you’re craving a sacred, supportive space to feel what’s ready to move--
This is your invitation.

The Day I Began to Heal From the Inside Out

7/9/2025

I remember the chronic pain.

The ache in my lower back that never really went away. The migraines that showed up like clockwork and stole whole days from me. The struggles with my mental health, my relationship with food, my self-worth—it was all tangled together in ways I didn’t yet understand.

At the time, I found relief in short bursts. Chiropractic care, self-medicating. It helped… and the pain always came back. The deeper questions were never addressed.

Back then, mental health support wasn’t even something my family had on their radar. We didn't talk about trauma, nervous systems, or healing from the inside. We coped. We pushed through.

Then came the summer I disappeared.
It was a season marked by a big surgery, prescribed pain pills, sleepless nights, and a growing sense of disconnection. My body was screaming, but I didn’t yet know how to listen.

So I began seeking.
And slowly, something shifted.
First came chanting. Then meditation. Then physical yoga.
Then a yoga class… and another.

For the first time, I felt like I was participating in my own healing—not just managing symptoms.
I could feel the energy that had been stagnant inside me begin to flow.
I could feel the holding patterns in my nervous system start to unwind.

I could feel the relief—not from a pill or an adjustment, but from my own breath, movement, and inner awareness.
I was being healed in real time… by my body’s wisdom.

Now, years later, this is what I teach and share with other women. We use energy medicine, the chakra system, somatic practices, and yogic philosophy to reconnect with the parts of ourselves we’ve ignored or shut down. This isn’t about fixing ourselves—it’s about coming home to what’s always been within.

✨ This month, I’m diving deeper into this work inside The Nourished Woman, my membership for women ready to reconnect with their bodies, their spirit, and their wholeness.

We’re exploring the chakra system and energy medicine in a live workshop this Saturday, from 10–11am EST. You’re so welcome to join us—it’s $88/month with no commitment. You’ll get access to the on-demand library and the workshop replay, too.

But even if you don’t join us, I want to leave you with this:

Your healing is not outside of you.
There’s a quiet wisdom inside you just waiting to be accessed.

Warmly,
​
Keri
