Loving action flows from here. Suffering shifts into deep healing, grace and new possibility.

How we choose to communicate can either open or shut down connection. We express ourselves through our bodies, so no matter how ‘nicely’ we offer words, if they are not aligned with our energy, they won’t be congruent.
