Ease is HERE

Magical Middle

Like everyone, I have spent my entire life navigating change. UNLIKE MANY, I have initiated many of these changes (as well as experiencing many unpredicted life events). My intense curiosity and learning has always challenged my own "status quo". I hit a hit rock bottom earlier in life, with suicide ideation, depression and relational codependency.
​
Though I began with traditional western "mind" modalities of healing like CBT and Talk Therapy, it wasn't until I began "feeling my body" - working somatically & energetically, that the battle ended. This does not mean healing and self-inquiry wasn't challenging, or uncomfortable ... but somatic & energetic exploration EASED my system to ALLOW healing.
The mind = ongoing battle.
The body = ease and allowing: the right amount, at the right time.
​
I am now ... a mid-lifer in awe and wonder of the ups, downs and in-betweens that make up this ever-changing, incredibly rich life experience. Embracing change is a way of being.
Midlife brought a major shift, a deeper Awakening ... that ultimately led to me deeply exploring the "D" word (death). I realized that I was experiencing a death of all that I thought was solid and would create happiness.
This death of all Leah had built became the
deepest and richest experience.
My heart opened (to myself and others) and I
live so much more fully, generously, compassionately ...
and with more ease and trust
than fear and anxiety.

Living with more EASE, means living so much more from a place of LOVE vs FEAR.
This allows us to LIVE MORE FULLY, the things that we truly value vs. what society and familial experience may have programmed us to want, and has left us ... wanting.
A little additional history:​​
-
From a 20-something northern commercial pilot with a giant gaping victim-shaped hole blowing through me, held together with barbed wire and duct tape; tough as nails
​​
-
To a 30-something single mom returning to University; healing; still proving self; seeking stability
​
-
To an over-achieving, emotionally depleted Educator who burned out; cue breakdown and beginning of Awakening
​
-
To full-on early mid-lifer in real estate & construction management; still relentlessly "proving my worth". My identity was based on my doing and performing, like a codependent puppet ... then came the deeper call ... let the Awakening begin...
​
As I continue to evolve in this human form, I learn to both thank and forgive all previous versions of mySelf, as they have woven their collective way into this whole, ever-growing, current version of ME. We are never "done".
