Heart Compass

Starting a new year often brings a desire to reflect on the months behind and ahead. This can create judgment of our past or anxiety about our future—leaving us disconnected from ourselves. The mind wants to create a story: did we succeed or fail? But the body doesn't traffic in those binaries. It holds something else entirely. Here's a simple practice to end 2025 in conversation with your body instead of at war with your mind.

A personal story of how an ordinary crisis opened a doorway to embodied healing. Through myth, self-compassion, and the warmth of awareness, we can learn to turn toward the cold places within and reclaim our aliveness.
