YOUR UNBLOCKED EMOTIONS ARE HELD WITHIN YOUR ORGANS 〰️

We live in a world where there are so many routes to “wellness”. The truth is, some stick, some don’t. Some cause deep lasting change to your whole self, and others are the offspring of trends, glitz and glamour of the monetized “spiritual journey”.

Retreats often perpetuate short term expansion without the tools to re-enter your world. I’ve found them to be rather empty and done energetically sloppy.

And this is why, at The Retrieval, we do things differently! (The Retrieval is a retreat business I’ve founded in 2023)

And I’m going to let you in on the secret behind the great success our attendees have experienced, as well as in my own life.

Nothing will change until you do these 4 things:

1. SOMATIC EMBODIMENT

Imagine finally releasing the grief stored within you. The emotional wounds from what has been lost or never experienced. All that has been stored in the memory of your heart and body finally finds a pathway out to be processed and MAKE SPACE for the NEW.

The body holds a record of our experiences. Through its fascia, tissues, muscles, skin, organs… Our bodies are these beautiful temples, sophisticated and intelligent; they are given the responsibility of processing our experiences from very tangible events to subconscious and emotional or spiritual events.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the organs in our bodies are where our deepest felt, experienced and believed emotional states can become STUCK.

Through Somatic Embodiment, we begin to unstick, using the same channels your Acupuncturist would access, in order to move our energetic highways, express our organs, and find a flow state that leaves us feeling expanded. As if you have just received a massage.

Emotional imbalances will disrupt your flow of chi, your vital life force energy. Imbalances will redirect and throw off your major energetic centers, as well as minors, these are called Chakras (pronounced CHA not SHA), and you have hundreds of them, from your feet to your hands, they are the intersections of energetic highways within the system of the body.

The body is the most tangible layer of self. I call it the EARTH LAYER of Self. To assist in our personal healing it is incredibly important to manually disrupt, dislodge, unstick, and release blocked chi, creating long lasting emotional release and expansion.

How do we do this?

Through intelligent and whole MOVEMENT. Somatic Embodiment is owning your physical self. Holding the responsibility for physical self and tending to it manually; getting hands on.

As a Teacher of the system of Yoga for the past 8 years, I know personally the power of movement. It radically changed my relationship to myself and became a catalyst for many other victories within my life.

And it changed over time. The more I learned TCM the more it became apparent: WE NEED TO MOVE DIFFERENTLY AND MORE OFTEN.

During our stay in Portugal, you’ll experience daily Somatic Embodiment, in a style I consider to be an emotional unblocking process. We will find ease and activation through a series of movements that will incorporate breath release, body tapping, and what I call Chi-Flows.

You’ll find yourself in a physiological altered state after directly circulating your blood, your emotions, and subtle self through the vehicle of the body.

Your temple is waiting for you to cleanse it, reopen it’s doors, and treat it as sacred… to trust it again, as your compass, your YES and NO system.

Join us in for a beautiful Self Retrieval in Portugal and we will open the doors, sweep, and relight the candle of your heart together.
