Sharon-isms

Most of us strap on our troubles and hold onto them, versus leaving them behind.

Saying "I have a knot here” sounds so disempowering! Try using statements such as slow energy, or imbalance. You’ll feel more empowered to choose how to start your healing.

Pain is our signal that says, “Give more blood”; “I need food”; “I need oxygen”; “I need to clean out!”

Things become know when fear is triggered. Most times, fear is not meant to stop us; it is there to slow us down so we pay attention to the details, or something new surfacing.

The muscle that started the problem is in the back office snoozing while everyone else is trying to do its job.

We are organic beings. Live simply, eat healthy foods, drink plenty of water, rest and exercise.

Everything we view outside of us is a metaphor for what happens inside of us. We get so enamored by what we see that often we forget to bring it back home to our bodies.

Breathe all the way down your spine to your tailbone…now include your legs. Breathe to the soles of your feet. Feel your whole body expand like the Pillsbury Dough Boy.
