• Do you have a hard time sleeping?
• Does it feel like an elephant is sitting on your chest or do you often feel tightness or butterflies in your belly region?

• Are you feeling anxious to the point where it’s difficult to catch your breath?
• Do you feel worried or even insecure about your life, to the point where you don’t feel confident or empowered or maybe you feel like you’ve lost your sense of purpose or meaning?

During the current pandemic crisis and in life, it is easy to feel stuck, unprepared, confused, scared, and over/under-whelmed.

You may be experiencing self defeating thoughts, feel like something is wrong or broken and can’t be fixed, or you may be questioning whether or not the relationship you’re in right now is the right one, or healthiest one for you.  In a COVID-19 world, all these feelings may be even more amplified and you may feel powerless at times to feel relaxed and calm.

You may wake up feeling worried about what you need and how to get everything done on a daily basis. It’s possible you’re feeling frustrated and unseen in your home, at work, with family, and/or in your relationships. Anxiety and worry can pop up during the day in the form of headaches, heart palpitations, excess attempts to ‘figure things out’, disorganized thoughts or tension in your body.

If you’re a parent, you may often feel overly concerned about the status of your children, or that you”ll never be enough, or do enough, for the kids. You’re constantly asking yourself “How will my kids do in life?” “Will my kids want to be around me when they grow up?” “Am I doing a good enough job?” Social media too, invariably amplifies the worry about “keeping up with the Joneses.”  Such culture births irrational beliefs or fears about our children’s emotional well being, AND it can certainly amplify doubts about whether we’re doing a great job as a parent.

When doubt creeps in and we start comparing, we begin to feel small and insignificant. As a result, as a parent, you may submit to thinking you’re not doing enough which results in feeling lonely, disconnected, ashamed and sad.

Millions of people around the world deal with loneliness, depression, anxiety, and feeling stuck.  Throughout your life it’s highly likely that you will experience a season of feeling a loss of purpose or meaning or feel tired and unmotivated. Everyone goes through seasons where they feel disconnected, disheartened, and sad.

While it’s not a pleasant experience, it is normal and is very much a part of the human experience.  Life is unpredictable, messy, and it can be hard.  Therefore it’s expected that you’ll go through a season of struggle and suffering. Some of the greatest teachers on the planet have talked about suffering and its natural course in our life, and yet there are ways to move through it with grace, softness and dignity.

The federal government’s health statisticians figure that about one in every 10 Americans takes an antidepressant.

The reality for today’s society, especially in the United States, is that there is so much more stress coming at us, stress that didn’t exist 20 to 30 years ago. With the convenience of the digital age came the advent of smartphones and social media and along with it, the internal expectation to be “on” and available 24/7. 

This boundless and invisible expectation is burdensome and unrealistic. With bleeps and notifications constantly punctuating the day, it is not a stretch to say the human psyche is overloaded. As humans, we need more downtime and quiet in order to successfully recharge, and serve from our hearts.  In genuinely taking true pause and rest, it’s then possible to gain better awareness as to why one feels anxious and/or stuck.  There is a simple yet sustainable tool to get unstuck – it’s called Somato Respiratory Integration.

Somato Respiratory Integration (SRI) is very effective in teaching how to regain focus as well as transforming tension, stress, and “stucked-ness” in the body.  It is a system that blends intentional dialogue, breathing exercises, and focused movement, which enables you to develop a greater mind-body connection.

Tiredness is essentially energy that is bound or stuck within the body.  Learning somato respiratory integration exercises will allow you to release this pent up energy and feel more in tune with your body. This amplified connection between mind and body then allows you to feel more connected in life.

Somatic psychology is the process of becoming aware of your innate, internal resources. These resources are pockets of peace, ease, and clarity – a softness that exists within your body.  This soft and gentle approach helps you move through pain and fosters physiological awareness of what is working well in your body on a daily basis.

SRI is a wonderful tool that has helped me process emotions.  Using SRI’s technique of combining breath with movement, I have been able to be with and move through intense emotions and anxiety.   The SRI technique gives you the tools to tune in to your own inner wisdom to work through the tough stuff.  I have found SRI to be extremely supportive to making big breakthroughs in healing.

Through SRI practice with Lynn, you will experience more clarity, greater ease and inner peace, as well as a broader, more balanced perspective. Tapping into the calmer reservoirs of the body allows the mind to open and expand, which fosters more creativity, positivity and boosts intuitive knowing. You’ll find yourself more engaged with others, with community, with contributing to something beyond yourself.

You’ll experience a shift from feeling like a victim of life circumstances to self empowerment and feeling inspired.  You may even become aware of parts of yourself you didn’t know you had or that you hadn’t been connected to in a long time.  SRI, combined with Lynn’s many years of learning, provides you with a powerful toolkit to navigate life’s struggles and triumphs with more ease and grace.
