This episode I share some reflections on my recent retreat (or un-retreat) in Sedona and the concept of rest and retreat.I explore the idea that flight can manifest as being constantly distracted and busy, as a way to avoid feeling uncomfortable emotions. I also touch on the discomfort that arises when faced with the opportunity for pleasure and rest, due to the contrast between our desires for these things and our capacity to embrace them.HIGHLIGHTS:02:05 Wrestling with Feelings of Surrender and Isolation04:59 Safety and Connection with Self in Somatic Work05:12 Flight as Running Away or Being Distracted06:08 The Body's Flight Response: Constantly Being Busy and On the Move07:22 Fight or flight response to discomfort and expectations10:42 The Value of Experience in Our LivesCONNECT WITH DANIELLE:Programs and MoreFind me on FacebookFollow me on InstagramFollow me on TwitterConnect with me on LINKEDINSchedule a free session
