Let's say you've been sleeping on the same mattress for 15 years and you're thinking “I'm sleeping great. I sleep through the night. It's wonderful.” And then you get a new mattress, and after one night of sleeping on the new mattress, you wake up in the morning and you think, “What the hell was that? I slept. I dreamt. I didn't wanna get out of bed.” The only reason why you noticed the difference was because you experienced the contrast.
Because we're high achieving women in 2024, I know that you are operating under acute stress that you perceive as “what it is” and normal. When you allow yourself to start to move from a survival body to a safety body, it feels like you open the window and the breeze comes in and you're like “oh yeah, I'm gonna go out there.”
In order to tap into creativity, innovation, and the fullest expression of ourselves, we have to do it from a safety body.
How does the body play a role in moving from living “from the neck up” to actually being a whole person?
Somewhere along the line in your journey of living, you unconsciously disconnected from your body.
You didn't know when it happened or why it happened. Something happened that was painful. Physically, emotionally, environmentally...
You unconsciously disconnect, and that's a protective process that pulls you away from your body because your body is where you feel things.
Then your system's like, well, hmm, her father left when she was two. That was hella painful. I don't want her to feel hurt again. Dissociate. Maybe you experienced victimization and abuse. Maybe you lived in a household where your parents fought all the time, and it was like, oh, just leave my body now, because if I'm in my body, I'm feeling discomfort and pain.
Trauma doesn't have to be heavy and shameful and filled with burden. It is 2024 and every single one of us has experienced trauma, and is functioning with trauma responses and adaptive behaviors. There is nothing wrong with you. There is nothing that needs to be fixed.
So we disassociate from our bodies unconsciously, and then we start to live as neck uppers. Literally, we think the world happens in our mind, and the adaptive behaviors that start to occur from that are like overthinking, overfunctioning, overdoing and overanalyzing.
our relationship to your body is the key. When you allow yourself to come back to your body, that's when we're in our power. Our mind is the tool. It's the mechanism that you are to direct and use. That is all. Otherwise, it has no place. It has no place in your emotions, in your feelings, in your intuition, in your self-trust. No place.
When you have been living from the neck up, you forget that there is something much bigger at play. It perpetuates lack, fear, and separation. Which means chase more carrots, achieve more things, don't stop and celebrate.
Tell us about the School of Becoming.
The School of Becoming is an institution of consciousness and intentional evolution. What that means is that we are here for women who are ready to evolve their identity so that they can experience a new reality.
Inside the school, we have a free library, articles and podcasts and videos.
When you come into the core curriculum, you are actively evolving your identity. What we do is neuro identity evolution. So in a nine week semester, you move through the methodology and you actively are completely different when you come out the other side.
