Having a voice

Not sure you read my posts on social media or email newsletters; however, if you do, thank you, and here’s why I write them. 

I mostly practice my writing purely as a skill I’m constantly developing and in finding my writing voice within it. I know aspects of it, but I haven’t totally locked into it yet. 

By no means does my writing reflect the magic that happens in the work I do with my clients, however, it’s a necessary skill I find that helps me continually develop my work.

You might be wondering what finding our true voice exactly means and what that can look like for you, so here’s a little glimpse of what that is. 

In my work, especially the bodywork portion of it, some people feel as if their throat is locked in a way where they find it difficult to yell, scream, laugh, cry or speak their “truth”. It’s as if some imaginary hand is choking them. 

Some people feel as if they’re struggling to open & use their voice to communicate through their feelings of fear & shame. 

It’s not necessarily about being the loudest, or the most quick witted, that substantiates having a voice, but rather it’s about finding the one that’s distinct for you. 

Having a voice is the ability: 

⚡️to ask for what we want, because it’s important to cultivate our desire.

⚡️to ask for help and let go of our fear & shame of looking weak. 

⚡️to ask questions so we may cultivate our curiosity.

⚡️to speak our boundaries even if we’re scared of becoming angry or having it directed back at us.

 ⚡️to share our fears, insecurities & shame so we may develop courage. 

If we’re paying attention, when we’re using our truest voice, it draws people closer to us, causing them to want to be around us, help us, date us or do business with us. Although, when we’re not using it, it can often repel people from the same things that usually attract them.
