Every time there is a contraction, there is the opportunity for expansion.

In every little (or big) moment in life where you feel a contraction, you are you being offered the growth and expansion to become BIGGER than that you are facing.

In birth, these contractions can swallow you up. You can hide, turn away from and fight these contractions.

Or,

You can rise. You can breathe. You can become bigger than. You can expand.

In those challenging moments where you feel a frustration rise, you have the choice to be engulfed in your feeling and become contracted, or you can breathe and physically create the space in your body to overcome it.

A breath.

A lengthening of the spine.

A pause before it’s too late.

We are handed all these tools freely yet we so often choose not to use them.

Where in life are you allowing the contraction to take you?

Where can you open up to the possibility of expansion?

How can you shift in the crunchy moments to be in ease?

Imagine how good it would feel to rise up to life’s challenges and g r o w.

This is my invitation to you.

To lean into the energy of expansion the next time your body wants to contract.
