Get In Your Core
So many of the women I work with feel awkward in their bodies, and it usually starts young. Remember when Mom commented on your belly, and you’ve been sucking it in ever since you were twelve? Or all the times you bit down on the words you wanted to say to defend yourself? That changes how your core stabilizes you, physically and energetically.
Repeat these safety patterns long enough and your deep core stops doing its job. Your jaw steps in as a backup stabilizer, and your breath and shoulders get roped in too.
I wore a mouth guard for 20 years before I realized my jaw was doing my core’s job to stabilize me, while also holding back the parts of me that weren’t allowed to be expressed. Maybe you're the same?That’s a lot of bracing just to stand in your kitchen chopping veggies, so of course you feel awkward.
Sorry, body.
And thank you, body!
In this free guide you’ll start to understand the jaw-core connection, slowly and safely start to get in your body, and work closer to the root of physical and emotional stability.
Release your diaphragm. Your breath drops lower and your jaw lets go. I do this all the time, in line at Sainsbury’s or lying in bed watching Netflix.
Activate your core. Rise up on your toes, bend your knees and wobble. I linked a song for you for the times it’s needed. This is go-to for me; I love feeling my core switch on.
