TENDER


Butterfly sitting tenderly on a finger

In the quest to learn more about yourself in and through movement.

To create fertile soil for sustained change.

Go tenderly.


Tenderness softens.

Quietens

Brings in a kind of a kindness

Plants the seeds of compassion

Starts a new conversation of acceptance 

Between me and my SELF

Me and another.


Tenderness creates a space

Of possibility

That wasn’t there before.

An easeful responsiveness.

A gentle layer of listening.


That

Melts through judgement

Diffuses criticism.

Defrosts anger.

Dilutes fear.

Dissolves more than / less than thoughts


It makes magic.


Tenderly frees my breath.

I relax around my edges

I soften my inner walls and spaces.

Around my limbs, my joints, my organs.

My heart begins to feel safe.

Unencumbered

Unfettered.


I meet the moment

Senses awakened

I notice differently.

Present in and of my surroundings


In tenderness

I breathe easy

Meet myself afresh.

As I am

Right here

Right now.

As if for the very first time.

Simply

Respectfully

Playfully

My MEness distilled.


Joyfully …unapologetically… ME


Tune in tenderly.

Grow tender listening


What do you notice?

What gets you curious?

What sensations are alive for you?

What feels different?

Right Now.

TENDERLY.


As in the BLUR lyric

“Tender is the day the demons go away…”

How would it be to meet yourself tenderly today?


In growth-full tenderness

I love this! And the gift of this woman too!



If you would like to learn more about how I can help you move with ease and do what you love with comfort and confidence, do get in touch. The Feldenkrais Method is a beautiful way to cultivate tenderness in the body and mind, supporting your journey of self-discovery and healing. I'd love to hear from you.
