Your Heart Is A Great Listener
❤️ Did you know your heart rate changes in response to emotions, breathing, thoughts and even music?
Perhaps that's why some songs seem to touch us so deeply.

❤️ THE EMOTIONAL HEART

Can you really die from a broken heart?

Before we get to that, I have a confession. As a teenager, I was completely and utterly in love with David Cassidy.

Not a little crush or passing fancy. I was convinced he was singing directly to me through the television. That may be an indicator of the unloved feeling I had as a child. I do admire my own determination to fill the space and eventually I learnt (still learning) to fill that space healthfully.

I knew every song, watched every episode, and somewhere in my imagination, there was a vacant seat waiting for me on the Partridge Family bus. The school bus that picked me up each morning wasn't really taking me to school. It was simply the portal to my future life as an honorary member of the Partridge Family.
Teenage logic is a beautiful thing.

Of course, reality eventually arrived. While my imagined romance with David Cassidy didn't work out, my first real heartbreak was much harder to navigate.

I remember feeling as though my heart was physically breaking. My chest hurt, food lost its appeal, sleep became difficult. There was an empty, gut-wrenching feeling behind and below my sternum that literally made breathing and existing almost impossible. I genuinely wondered whether people could die from a broken heart.

As it turns out, there is actually science behind why heartbreak feels so physical. Our emotional and physical pain systems share some of the same neurological pathways. The body doesn't simply separate emotional pain from physical pain as neatly as we might think.

The heart and the brain are in constant conversation. We are going to be exploring the Emotional Heart. The heartbreaks, grief, connections, losses, and the resilience. Perhaps most importantly, how the heart continues to heal and love again.

Yes, in rare cases, people can become seriously ill from what is often called "broken heart syndrome" (Takotsubo cardiomyopathy), a temporary condition where intense emotional stress can affect the heart muscle. While it can be serious, most people recover with appropriate medical care.

I didn't die from a broken heart, and thankfully most of us don't. What heartbreak does remind us is that emotional pain is real, and healing matters. Sometimes we can do that on our own, and sometimes we need support from family, friends, or professionals to help us heal in healthy ways. The heart is remarkably resilient, and given time, care, and connection, it can mend and love again. ❤️

Who was your first celebrity crush?
And be honest, did you ever imagine they were secretly in love with you too? 😄❤️

FROM CLIENTS HEARTS 💕 ~ TO MY ❤️ ~ TO YOUR 💖

● Since visiting Julie at Forward motion freedom, for combined body work sessions, I recover more quickly after mopping, vacuuming and digging in the garden, not sore the next day like I used to be. I also handle things life throws at me a lot better. Surprised me how much one stores in the body. Julie was great at explaining it all.
(LOCAL FEMALE)

●When I moved from Cooranbong I didn't realise how much I'd miss my treatments from Julie. Honestly I haven't found anyone like her. I've been a customer for over 20 years and always visit when in town for family events.
I think everyone needs a Julie

TESTIMONIAL BELOW.
●There are moments when I get frustrated with clients. (Yes that's about me)
●They can be right on the verge of break through and then they self sabotage. Sometimes I find it hard to accept they don't have the capacity to do what it takes at that point in time, or the pay-offs for remaining the same, are just too comfortable.
●Other clients amaze me with their commitment, consistency, courage and their trust. I have clients from QLD, Papua New Guinea, SA, Victoria, Tasmania and country NSW and I don’t mean online.(Although that is an option for non body work sessions)These dedicated individuals make appointments when in town to come in.
That astonishes me, although I have to admit a lot of my holiday time has been spent doing exactly that and I've even travelled overseas to get treatment or pursue avenues to personally grow.
●Of course I also have my locals who are dedicated to move forward.
●The lady who wrote me the below note travelled 5 hours to have an inner freedom session. What blew me away was her dedication. The whole purpose of her travel was to have a session, she committed time, focus and financial resources. I felt humbled at her commitment.
●Yesterday I committed to a full day of giving and receiving Spinal Flow at a practitioners catch up.
I recently injured myself and needed some care.
It was immersive care given and received. That is committing to the process of multiple sessions.
WOW it reminded me of the power of SFT , the strength of consistency, the empowerment of intention. This morning I feel amazing. Thankyou to those who worked on me and the privilege of working on others. Did you know you can power your change and movement forward along by having more than one SFT session per day or do an immersive half day? Yes you can.

HEART HEALTH AT FORWARD MOTION FREEDOM
❤️ WHY DOES STRESS AFFECT THE HEART? ❤️
Have you ever noticed your heart racing before difficult news?
An awkward conversation?
A job interview?
A teenage child announcing, "Mum, I need to talk to you..." 😳😂
That's because your heart and nervous system are in constant communication.
When your brain detects a threat, real or perceived, it activates your stress response.
Heart rate increases.
Blood pressure rises.
Muscles prepare for action.
Your body mobilises resources to help you survive.
It's a brilliant system, the problem isn't the stress response, the problem is when we become stuck there.
Many people are living with chronic stress without even realising it.
They've become accustomed to tension.
To rushing.
To holding their breath.
To pushing through.
The body adapts remarkably well, until eventually it asks us to pay attention.
Sometimes through fatigue.
Sometimes through pain.
Sometimes through overwhelm.
Sometimes through symptoms we can't quite explain.
The good news?
The nervous system can learn regulation.
The body can learn safety.
The heart can find a steadier rhythm again.
❤️ Heart Reflection
What does stress feel like in your body?

❤️ WHEN THE HEART'S LAYERS WORK TOGETHER ❤️
The heart has layers.
But what fascinates me most isn't that the layers exist, It's that they don't function in isolation.
The endocardium, myocardium, epicardium and pericardium each have their own role, yet every heartbeat depends on them working together.
No single layer carries the entire responsibility.
Humans are much the same.
Many of us become very good at living from one layer.
We live from the layer that performs.
The layer that achieves.
The layer that cares for everyone else.
The layer that stays strong.
The layer that keeps moving no matter how tired we are.
Over time, we can become disconnected from the quieter layers underneath.
The part of us that feels.
The part of us that needs rest.
The part of us that knows something isn't quite right.
The body often notices this disconnect before the mind does.
It shows up as tension that won't release.
Fatigue that sleep doesn't seem to remedy.
A nervous system that struggles to switch off.
A feeling that something is missing, even when life appears fine on the surface.
Sometimes healing and wellness isn't about doing more, sometimes it's about reconnecting the parts of ourselves that have been carrying different burdens for too long.
The thinking mind.
The physical body.
The emotions we haven't had time to process.
The nervous system that has been working overtime to keep us safe.
When these layers begin communicating again, something shifts.
Not because we become a different person.
But because we become a more connected version of ourselves.
❤️ Reflection
Which part of you has been getting all of your attention lately?
And which part has been waiting patiently to be included in the conversation?

❤️ THE HEART HAS LAYERS, AND PERHAPS WE DO TOO ❤️

One of the things nursing taught me is that the heart has layers.

The endocardium forms the inner lining.

The myocardium is the powerful muscle doing the work.

The epicardium forms the heart's outer surface, sitting between the muscle and the structures that protect it.

The pericardium forms a protective covering around it.

Each layer has a purpose.

Each layer contributes something important, and perhaps that's why I've always found the heart so relatable, because humans have layers too.

The layer we show the world.

The layer that keeps us functioning.

The layer that connects our inner experiences with the way we protect ourselves.

The protective layer we've built through experience.

Sometimes people come for a massage because their neck hurts.

Then we discover they're carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders.

Sometimes people come because they're exhausted.

Then we discover their nervous system hasn't felt safe enough to fully relax for years.

Sometimes the body tells the story long before the words arrive.

Wellness is about understanding the layers that have helped you survive and then moving forward.

❤️ Heart Reflection

What layer of yourself has been working hardest lately?

The one that protects?

The one that performs?

The one that connects your inner world with the face you show others?

Or the one quietly asking to be heard?

This is one of the reasons I love integrated work and the integrated sessions I offer. The body, emotions, nervous system and life experiences are rarely separate conversations.

❤️ Heart Fact ❤️
Your heart will beat around 2.5 billion times over an average lifetime.
And somehow people still expect it to cope with unpaid bills, family drama, world events and that one person who replies "K" to a long message. 😂
Maybe your heart deserves a little appreciation today.
