Hi ladies,

A powerful session today, thank you all. I could feel a life time of childhood sport, and then the consequent adulthood rejection of sport, had come with me to the session, and indeed began to raise itself in the final balance position. – Movement in competition and therefore separation.

If I may share personally here, to be in appreciation of what these sessions with you Beverley can support - outside of the session too.

From age 16, the only 'sport' I went into was yoga – yet the 'competition' and 'trying' was there also and it was very much far from 'being' and 'union' in the body. Though to be 'competitive' with myself felt far far nicer than team competition. (same same though)

After today's session I went to lay in my bed with the heated blanket on for half an hour, wanting to heat up as the rad in the room I'd been in didn't come on, so the room was colder than the rest of the house. I deliberately didn't set my alarm as I knew today I was working at home and my body needed to rest for a little while in response to the session. I ended up sleeping for 3.5hours (that's not normal btw :)) But what I was shown in my dream, as my body continued to clear was the consciousness of casual competitive sport, and how the movement in that, the separation in that, and the need to not be in your body to achieve that, is there (as an opening) until clocked by the body and cleared.

Our work with the arms today was instrumental in bringing up awareness around this as the dream symbol was throwing and catching balls (netball was my sport) in a group of women who were in a crescent moon shape from which we weren't allowed to move (the rules of team sport). I was actually much less capable/coordinated than the others at this and Marcia O and I were partners. I chose to not be part of the group when asked if I wanted to do more practice together (a rejection of what it stood for).

I love to feel what it is the body holds on to that is not true. Thank you all for allowing this to be there and be expressed.

with love,
Rosanna

Beautiful Rosanna. These group sessions with Bev are a great support in strength and balance in so many ways as every sharing from the group offers a deeper understanding of all our body is sharing with us.
