Ambers Holistic Help

One of my clients recently told me this was one of her favorite somatic tools. She said it helps her calm down when she’s spiraling into anxiety….when things just feel like too much.

So, here it is for you to try. It’s a reminder that somatic practices don’t have to be complicated. You just have to do them…and then keep doing them.

I like to do at least 5 slow deep breaths while I flap my “wings”. Stay here longer if you need 🦋

If you’d like to work with me one-one in-person or online follow the links in my bio to schedule a somatic healing consultation.

Some days I help people on their healing journey, other days I do behind the scenes business stuff.

I prefer the days I work with people 🤣

New website coming soon…like very soon. Stay tuned 💫

Turn up the volume and sink into the sounds of nature.

Deep slow breathing is one of the easiest and most powerful somatic practices. Breath is so powerful and it’s with you all the time.

This is actual footage of me stopping to take a breathing moment during my first hike of the fall season🍂.

Breath is our protector. Breath is our ally. Breath is life.

You need to do this if you’ve been hunched over any way today…driving, doing bodywork, sitting at a computer, looking down at your phone….

1. Find a bed, chair, yoga ball, or a massage table.

2. Flop over it backwards, letting your arms and legs stretch out.

3. Close your eyes and breathe - deeply and slowly.

A minute is all it takes, but stay here longer if you can.

Breathing, while gently stretching is an easy way to remind your nervous system and your whole body that you are ok. And, for those of us who spend a lot of time with our arms forward, we get the added bonus of a little postural correction.

I bet when you hear things like “Somatics” or “nervous system healing” you’re not sure what that means…and you might even think it’s complicated.

It’s definitely not complicated. It just takes time…time and repetition.

This is just one of many easy practices that I recommend and teach my clients. It can be done anywhere and anytime.

Plan a book crawl with your book loving bestie! Soul nourishing, life giving, and no hangover.

1. Pick a few fun/cozy coffee shops or cafes.

2. Bring a book…and headphones just in case.

3. Get cozy, order a drink/food and alternate between chatting and reading.

4. Make a stop at a bookstore (or find a coffee shop that’s also a bookstore).

5. And as a super relaxing bonus, find a cozy spot in a library and read together…and if you’re lucky you’ll get to sit by a man who’s sleeping and snoring 🤣

If you’re in Tigard or Lake Oswego area I highly recommend adding these spots to your book crawl…
