“Feeling peace, steadiness, and love grow; strengthens my dedication to this practice.”

I get so excited and proud of my students when I hear the conviction in their voice for this life-giving practice. To see their sovereignty, joy, and clarity deepen is beautiful to witness.

To step out of the fear, pain, and frustration of surviving life; and to transform into leading their life with clarity and compassion.

I dedicate my life to sharing this practice with all interested in participating; and to creating presence based community so we may walk side-by-side on this journey.

To work with me, email me at rachel@alignphysicalrehab.com. Together we will start this mindfulness journey.

May we see that love is waiting for us.

When we practice, our being is waiting to return to love.

When we practice together, our being is ready to be in the love waiting for us.

Come now, it’s time.

A beautiful question by Jack Kornfield.

And just wait, see what comes to you. Your heart will know.

With chronic pain we often feel weak.

Thinking we need to get stronger to get out of pain.

For many with chronic pain you will be surprised to know that they are not actually weak. They often have normal strength in their body.

So where does this feeling of weak come from?

It is the exhaustion from the constant pain, feeling limited in what we can do, and trying to conserve energy that is the source of feeling weak.

It is the disengaging from life that is the source of weakness.

To no longer feel weak, we must re-learn how to fully engage in life while feeling safe we will not hurt ourselves. To do things that help us feel our aliveness and our joyousness.

When we have been in pain for a long time or when we have had a trauma in our life, it is very hard not to be overtaken with fear. Truly we don’t know if we are going to make it.

Our survival instinct kicks in. Getting off the survival/fear response can be difficult. The neuro-immune pattern developed helps maintain it. It almost becomes choice less. We must take back that choice. We must start to interrupt that pattern. We must make a new pattern, one that deeply lets our being know we are safe and unconditionally loved. We must change our neuro-immune pattern. This is possible. […]

You have an infinite amount of creativity.

Whenever you want you can access this unlimited creativity.

Just sit down or stand… something will always be created if you give it space. Wait, listen, watch. Your being will have an urge to follow what it sees and feels to create. Perhaps you see a movement, let your body move. Perhaps you hear a thought, let your being write. Or perhaps you feel a feeling, let your being express through whatever medium is in alignment with you.

Watch the magic of the universe create. It is there for you. You can trust it will always be there. Even silence or nothing is a form of creation. Hold that spaciousness and watch how the infiniteness of creativity flows through you.

If you would like help accessing that infinite creativity within you message me at rachel@alignphysicalrehab.com

When you allow yourself to be seen, to share your unique, beautiful, and true note; it is a gift to the world. It is inspiring to others to see how you move through this world. It helps connect us to our humanity and light.

It gives others to the opportunity to embrace your beautiful note with love and support. Imagine what it would feel like to be seen with unconditional love. And to know others were benefiting greatly just by you sharing your authentic note. Your expression of your love.

Let your being sit with this and see how it responds. See if its light gets a bit brighter and its willingness to share begins to shift to openness and expansiveness.

At ALIGN you will be seen without judgment. This is one of the most therapeutic experiences.
