Boab Healing

Integration is something I think we need to talk about more. 🤎

Because knowing about integration and actually finding yourself in the middle of it can feel like two very different things.

Sometimes there’s a big response during a session. Sometimes the session feels quiet and subtle. And sometimes it’s in the hours or days afterwards that you begin to notice things shifting.

You might feel emotional or teary. Tired. Tender. Restless. Quiet. You might crave more sleep, more space, less noise, or simply want to retreat into your own little bubble for a while.

And sometimes, it can even feel like you’re going backwards rather than forwards.

This is the part I think we need to speak about more.

Integration is allowing yourself the time and space to process what you’ve experienced — physically, emotionally and mentally — without needing to rush yourself through it or have it all figured out.

Every body is different.
Every experience is different.
And every integration will be different too.

Sometimes it looks like rest and an early night. A slow walk. Nourishing food. Journalling. Time outside. Less stimulation. A little more softness with yourself.

And sometimes it’s simply noticing what’s coming up and allowing it to be there without needing to understand it straight away.

The work doesn’t necessarily end when the session does.

Sometimes what unfolds afterwards is part of the experience too.

So if you’re in that space, give yourself a little grace.

A little softness.

And the time and space to integrate.

I absolutely love the work that I do and the modalities I work with, but I also believe there are times when we need something different.

Sometimes we need someone else to hold a little space for us.

After coming home from my Level 2 training, I’ve been moving through a pretty big integration period.

Since sharing a little about my Level 2 experience, I’ve had some beautiful people reach out, check in and offer to hold space for me. I’m so incredibly grateful — especially because I know they understand all the feels that can come with this work and integration.

But I also knew that, for me, I needed something a little different right now.

Yesterday I had a kinesiology session with Fiona and honestly, it helped me so much.

I felt like something shifted. Like I could finally find a little bit of space amongst everything I’d been trying to process.

I don’t believe healing has to happen in one lane.

Different modalities, different practitioners and different kinds of support can meet us at different times in our lives.

And we certainly don’t have to sit and process everything alone.

So a little shout-out to Fiona for holding space for me yesterday, and to the beautiful people who have reached out and checked in — I’m so grateful. You know who you are. 🤎

Big love. xx

It looks like…

Over-explaining yourself.
Struggling to say no.
Needing reassurance.
Comparing yourself to everyone else.
Feeling guilty for putting yourself first.
Ignoring your gut because you don’t trust yourself.
Giving more than you have to give.
Making yourself smaller to keep the peace.

And underneath it?

The fear that who you are isn’t enough.

These patterns don’t always disappear just because we recognise them.

Sometimes we need to work beyond the thinking mind and with the body itself.

This is part of the work we explore through Spinal Energetics — creating an opportunity for the body to move, express and shift patterns that may have been carried for far longer than we realise.

If you’re reading this thinking, sh*t… that’s me, maybe this is your sign to experience Spinal Energetics for yourself.
