Somatic Body Wisdom to Address Anxiety, Overwhelm and Reactivated Trauma With Suzanne Scurlock

What inspires you most in your life?

The unique gift of the Heart Wisdom Area is in recognizing and living from your soul’s deepest inspiration.

In these challenging and uncertain times, it can be extremely difficult to get in touch with the deep inspiration that’s so central to your joie de vivre — the parts of life that make you want to get out of bed every morning to be in the flow of your soul’s creativity.

In fact, thinking clearly at all can be quite difficult when the unsteady ground you’re standing on changes by the day.

In this opening week, Suzanne will guide you to explore the importance of uncovering your own heart’s gift — and how essential it is to find it again… in a new way, in these turbulent and unusual times.

In this module, you’ll:

Explore why you might sometimes find yourself feeling frozen, paralyzed, or reacting reflexively to the world around you — rather than proactively taking steps to put yourself back in the driver’s seat of your soul’s journey

Discover how to move beyond reacting and become more proactive and centered

Explore the hidden anatomy of your heart that can help you uncover what is yours to do

Receive simple practices to reconnect with your heart in challenging times

Gain new awareness of your own unique soul gifts to the world

Your gut can provide you with essential information — present-moment data that’s not emotionally laden, and is clear and extremely helpful for optimal decision-making.

As the speed of change is accelerating and becoming more unpredictable, the gifts of a clear, educated gut are immeasurable.

This week, you’ll explore the potential life-saving questions your inner knowing asks about people and circumstances that register in the primal, limbic parts of the brain — is this pleasurable or painful? Is it safe or dangerous? And more…

As you’ll discover, ideally you’ll make decisions based on ALL the data — not just the data in your memory bank from past trauma, or anxiety about the future…

The key to being in the present moment is embodiment — and embodying in the gut is pivotal for that sense of safety or pleasure.

In this module, you’ll discover:

Your gut’s gift to you — the instinctual knowing you need as you move through everyday life

How, during calm times, the gut registers what you need to know most

The importance of staying connected to your gut in each moment in challenging times

Why the power of the present moment is the critical key to embracing the wisdom of your gut

Why the gut is the most misinterpreted wisdom area and how this can keep you trapped in stress, overwhelm, and confusion

An explorative exercise to help you know how to use your gut for wise decision-making in times of inner or outer confusion

Your pelvis is a key wisdom area — without its potency, your inner fire grows cold and your health and vitality suffers.

Eventually you can lose your ability to bounce back from the stress and craziness of times like these.

Cultural and religious disapproval of the pelvis’s supposed seductive associations can make it even more difficult to connect with this part of your being.

When the pelvis is locked down or compartmentalized due to trauma or physical injury, you’re unknowingly draining the life out of your heart’s inspirations.

In this module, you’ll discover:

How to move back into or re-inhabit this pivotal power center

Why a block or injury to your pelvis can make everything in life harder, as everything takes more effort

How you may use willpower when your pelvic power is diminished — and the surprising price you pay for doing this

The ancient primal power of the pelvis for joy, sensuality, and pleasure

A guided exercise to unlock the energy of your pelvis

When you need to digest a lot of divergent information in order to make a decision now, get your legs and feet moving!

Even if it’s simply imagining them in action, as in a meditation, do it now! When the stressors of life hit, throw on your shoes and go out for a walk, or sit down and imagine a walk in your mind’s eye.

In this class, you’ll explore how we often misattribute the wisdom that legs and feet are revealing to us to other areas of the body…

We think, Oh, my heart told me to take that route. Or, my gut has the lead on that one. When, in fact, what often catalyzes good decision-making is movement of the legs and feet.

The cross-body movement of this area is even believed to signal the brain’s right and left hemispheres to integrate — opening you to better solutions and possibilities for your life.

In this module, you’ll explore:

How the feet and legs also stimulate creativity and generate energy, along with many other health benefits

The metabolizing effect of the legs and feet when they’re activated, particularly in the face of many different possibilities

How the legs and feet integrate the left and right hemispheres of the brain to help you discover new options and opportunities
How this portal to your healthy energy flow brings practical, measurable success in all areas of your life — from relationships to career to finances, especially in the midst of chaos
An exercise to show you how to easily make decisions

Does your external world dictate your happiness?

Do you tell yourself, I’ll be content when my partner changes, when my work situation is better, or when the turbulence and dangerousness of the world’s circumstances change?

This week, you’ll explore why you might find yourself pulled off center and feeling “off” due to the stressors of current situations in the world around you.

The wisdom area in your bones is powerful — your bones are the densest form of connective tissue and the sturdiest structures in your body.

Your bones naturally radiate a sense of steadiness. And when you drop deep into this inner sanctum of who you are, the urgency of the outside world fades, your perceptual lens expands, and the fog around you slowly clears, bringing greater clarity.

In this module, you’ll discover how:

Your bones give you a sense of steadiness in times of internal and external turmoil
To use your bone presence to be a steadying influence when the world around you is in chaos
To use your bones to receive clarity and clearer thinking
Honoring your bones, your innermost sanctum, allows you to live from the core of who you are
Through a special exercise, you can experience your innermost sacred spac

Your brain has long been queen of the body.

It second-guesses your gut, invalidates your deep heartfelt responses and inspiration for being unreasonable, and is highly suspicious of the power of the pelvis.

The brain also claims credit for decisions activated by the legs and feet, and generally views itself as superior to the rest of your body.

This week you’ll discover how, according to recent research, lots of wisdom actually resides within the rest of the body — and this knowledge is fed to the brain to help you make healthy resolutions to life’s current challenges.

You can still value the brain as a wonderful integrator of information, mapmaker, and strategizer — AND you can value it for its ability to help you listen to your entire body’s wisdom.

In this module, you’ll discover:

The brain’s part in integrating your body’s wisdom
The important interconnections between the brain and all the other wisdom centers
What happens when the brain values the heart — and listens to it
How the gut-brain connection increases the accuracy of all your decisions
Your body as an integrated system offering optimal living — not just survival
Intuition redefined, with input from the whole system
An exercise to experience your integrated system

In today’s challenging times, it’s pivotal to integrate all the wisdom areas for optimal functioning and creative, clear thinking and outcomes.

We’re facing difficulties that were unheard of a short time ago. These issues require that we bring together the entire faculty of who we are — the whole symphony needs to be present for the best music to be played.

In these times when survival seems most important, you must remember that creativity, clarity of thought, and grounded, centered presence are the tools that will enable you to move from simply surviving to actually thriving.

In this module, you will discover:

What occurs when the whole the symphony is not present
What skills can help these wisdom areas join forces
The pivotal tools needed for integration in times of stress
The beauty of an integrated system
An exercise to experience the entire symphony playing together
