✍️ The Day I Realized I Was Receiving While I Gave

I used to wonder if I was overgiving.

If my hands were working too hard.

If I was too available, too generous, too soft.

If holding space meant leaving my own body behind.

But today… something shifted.

Something subtle—but seismic.

🌞 Two Leo Risings, One Field

She came in a little scattered—floating above her body, carrying beauty, makeup, and tension all at once.

But there was something else. Something familiar.

We share the same Leo Rising.

And without saying it, our session became a mirror—two women learning how to shine without overperforming, how to soften without becoming invisible.

🌀 As I Touched Her, I Touched Myself

Right knee.

Lower back.

Neck and shoulders.

Each part I touched on her body was like opening a door in mine.

As her right knee began to release, I realized I was also releasing my own fear of “moving forward without guilt.”

As her lower back softened, I felt my spine whisper, “You don’t have to carry all of them anymore.”

As her neck and shoulders began to melt, so did the voice inside me that used to say, “Hold it together so they feel safe.”

This wasn’t just bodywork.

It was a fascia loop—a frequency spiral.

Her system was speaking to mine.

And this time… I stayed to listen.

🧬 I Used to Leave Myself Behind

There were times in the past I would’ve second-guessed this.

I might’ve worried: “Was that too long? Was I giving too much?”

But today was different.

I gave only from overflow.

I stayed in my body.

I stayed with my truth.

I didn’t lose myself in the giving.

I found myself in it.

⸻

💎 This Is My New Normal

This is what hands-on work is for me now:

A sacred mirror.

A somatic spiral.

A shared remembrance of self.

I no longer give to prove.

I no longer hold to earn.

I no longer leave my own body to heal another.

We rise in the same spiral.

⸻

If this resonates with you… maybe it’s time to receive, too.

Let fascia speak. Let your body come back home.

I’ll meet you there.
