Jon Kabat-Zinn describes it as the all-too-common feeling "that our lives are somehow unfolding faster than the human nervous system and psyche are able to manage well."

Doesn't it feel like life unfolds even faster during the holiday season?

How often do you get the chance to tune into your heart?

It was as if we both sat down at a shared table and emptied out our heavy backpacks one item at a time so we could lovingly witness the weight of what each of us had been carrying around.

And after gently laying each item out on the table (sharing with each other)...

We both felt lighter and more liberated.

Relieved.

Less alone.

How do you possibly choose permission over pressure, especially when it comes to your relationship with your body?

And how do you listen to what your body needs and wants more than all of the "shoulds"?
