18 years ago, I found myself sobbing at the front of the roomduring Fitzmaurice Voicework training.  

Snot flying everywhere.

They’d asked me to open my heart, breathe, and be seen.

When I did, the floodgates opened. The un-cried cries came bursting out.

The dam that was holding the tears and snot back (a.k.a. my emotional mask, energetic armor, and jaw tension) had finally released.

I asked my mentors Saul and Cynthia, “Will I ever be able to teach with an open heart without crying?”

“Yes, you will. When they need you, you will,” said Cynthia.

“How” I asked

Saul replied, “Find more spaces like this one where you can practice.”

I’ve been practicing in sacred spaces for 18 years.

I’ve been holding sacred spaces for other sensitive souls for 15 years.

The world doesn’t always feel safe. It certainly doesn’t feel sacred or supportive.

The world is the place that told us that we were “too much,” “not enough,” and “too emotional” all at the same time.

Practicing in sacred spaces, where we are witnessed, supported, and held is vital.

We form new neural pathways that remind us that we are enough and that our emotions are beautiful.

We create body memories that help us know “we can.”

Then we can step back out into the world and show everyone, there is another way.

With passion & love, 
Lauri
