Field Notes #2: What Your Body Knows

Sickness as a portal, an invitation to slow down, and a gentle practice in listening to ourselves
6
2

Dear friends,

I'm back with our second Field Note, recorded from the south corner of our deck ,where the morning sun creates this perfect pocket of warmth. You'll hear wind through the oaks, maybe a rescue kitten named Yarrow, and birds who seem to be enjoying their morning in the foothills!

Last month, we finalized our daughter Freya's adoption. After almost two years of uncertainty, she legally became part of our family.

The very next day? All five of us got sick.

In the past, stress like this would have seized my psoas and thrown out my back. This time, I just got a cold. Progress looks mighty different these days.

In this 10-minute Field Note I explore—

  • Learning to listen to my body

  • Sickness as a portal to slowing down

  • A short guided practice we'll do together

  • One simple question to ask your body

Until next time,
Ashley

P.S. This Field Note is free for everyone. Future recordings will be part of our paid community. If you're ready for more of these slower conversations, consider becoming a paid member.
