An online home to practice becoming alive to the signals of your body.
About Rhythms
Rhythms explores feminine embodiment, full-body expression of who we are, and how to counteract stress and trauma in the body.
This work is designed to provide education, inspiration and practical exercises for living as a woman in today’s world.
Never before have we as women in the West had more opportunity, more choice, and more freedom. Granted, we still have a long way to go, yet compared to any other time in history, we have the greatest options and choices to forge our own paths and determine our own destinies.
At the same time, with these opportunities come new challenges and distinct difficulties: the demands of life have created high levels of stress, pressure, disconnect, discomfort, and dis-ease in women.
As women we are now, more than ever, able to have the career we want, we can make our own money, choose our relationships and have the freedom to determine when and if we want children. Yet, our connection to our self, to pleasure, to nature and our intimate relationships has suffered.
We are ever more disconnected from our biggest ally -the body- and as a result are missing out on a powerful natural resource for aliveness, pleasure and empowerment.
"The way you run the program and the women you attract to it are both stellar!
You seamlessly generate a beautiful, safe container.
My curiosity is ignited, the space is created to explore, and I am expanded every time I attend.
You are a blessing. I am in gratitude for who you are and all you do."
- Martha C.
"The energy of this group is a beautiful testament to Belle's being - also her effervescence & knowledge - but above all else her state of BEing."
- Alla G
"This was time well spent. For those of us who think of ourselves as "production junkies," (thinking we always need to be doing instead of being), this was fun, frivolous and fantastic and PHENOMENAL!"
- Cindy L.
Feminine Embodiment
Embodiment has become quite the buzzword and there are many ways to define it. In this work we define it as an ability to listen to the messages the body sends and being able to keep our thinking mind, our emotions and our bodies connected and integrated.
In this context, the term “embodiment” can be understood to mean “coming back into the body.” Of course, as long as we are alive, we are always in our bodies. But that does not mean we are aware of what is happening in our body.
Embodiment is the process of becoming alive to the signals of our bodies. The awareness of the signals of the body can also be described as sensual recognition. Being with the full array of sensory and emotional perception — the sublime as well as the unpleasant or difficult —allows us to savor the full human experience: body, mind, and spirit – alive, open, and integrated.
My invitation to you.
My invitation to you is not because there is something wrong with you or something wrong with me.
But, rather, it is an invitation to explore wonder, to deepen our self-connection, to create expansion of our inner/outer vocabulary and self-appreciation.
I cherish the opportunity to honor your uniqueness in the full expression of yourself.
- Belle
Explore for yourself
These practices are meant as explorations, not prescriptions. By doing them, you will find out about yourself. Many of them are purposely designed to give you access to your inner workings.
Instead of telling you how you will feel when you are doing them, I invite you to investigate them, and explore, as you practice, how you are really feeling and what habit patterns and considerations show up.
For instance, you might expect that a movement practice will leave you feeling elated and happy, but maybe when you move your body other kinds of feelings show up. Maybe you can feel your resistance to moving, or your block to taking time for yourself. Perhaps you feel awkward in your body, or maybe doing unstructured movement releases pent-up feelings. By engaging in these simple practices, you get to feel what is really present for you, instead of layering the expectation of a possible outcome over the experience.
This is a welcome to our own unique essence - something we have all experienced in moments of deep relaxation, curiosity and enjoyment. In this practice, we allow ourselves to go from GO energy into FLOW energy in a way that fulfills our unique rhythm and the dance within ourselves and in the world.
I invite you to join me at the Rhythms Embodiment Circles.
