I almost let my inner critic sabotage me again 🙈

So this week I went Live on my graduates group and “accidentally” ended up crying while streaming LIVE.

It happened from remembering.

Remembering the circles ❤️ and the community.

Feeling the truth of what happens when people gather in real practice, intention and presence.

And almost immediately after… shame stepped in…

“Why did you show that?”
“You’re too emotional.”
“That was unprofessional.”
“This will weaken your credibility.”

Oh gosh - She’s a tuff cookie 🍪🤯

…maybe you know that voice too.

So instead of hiding (and overriding) it, I want to talk about it.

Inside my sacred SOUL TRIBE Facebook group, I’m going LIVE about:

— being vulnerable online
— the shame spiral after being seen
— how the inner critic hijacks conscious creation
— and how we can _always_ return to the Inner Teacher instead

Because what I’ve learned is this:

The critic doesn’t arrive because we are weak.

- It arrives when something stronger is rising ✨

If you’ve ever felt the urge to disappear after expressing yourself…this live is for you!

Join us inside the group: SOUL TRIBE - Sacred Circles & Yoga Off The Mat

🔥 I will do 15 truth awakening Friday Lives in a row, this one being 2/15 😍

Lena’s music ❤️

Today is my dad's birthday - and I am celebrating by surprise-releasing a song 🤍

'Tears Inside' was based on a poem written by my father a few years ago... an invitation to heal the masculine part of our lineage, it tells his story from childhood until now. I soon wrote a melody and more recently added some Spanish lyrics of my own.

I've spent a lot of time healing the feminine - and writing songs about this journey - but a huge part of our shared somatic experience is also generations of men being told that 'boys don't cry' and that emotions are a sign of weakness.

Our grandfathers learnt this from their fathers and passed in on to ours - and it's had a huge impact on every one of us, shaping the way we interact with each other and ourselves.

This song is an invitation for the men in our lives as well as our inner masculine to recognise that it's safe to let the tears flow and to feel and live fully.

Happy birthday Papa 🎈 - may you always feel safe and held to let the river of your emotions flow through you.

I AM READY 🖤

Dance used to be something I was practicing to improve to become better - I wanted to be good at it.

Techniques. Alignment - making it look easy, flowy and getting it right.

Now it’s something else.

It peels layers in me 🍊

It brings things up — feelings, memories, joy, resistance…

It surfaces, and with yoga, finds it’s way to freedom.

This body is 46.

It has lived and carried a human life. It has stored feelings and taken in the waves of silence, sadness or sorrows - it has given courage, home for a hope and breath for compassion.

It knows and moves differently -
It doesn’t care how it looks, it’s not here to perform.

It’s here to listen.

It’s here to express the movement of the mind, of the emotion.

It’s here to take those breaths it couldn’t or didn’t know how to take before.

It’s here to honor it’s curves, softness and scars -

✨ The movement beyond movement. The body beyond body, the mind beyond mind.

It’s ready - I am ready - to give this away to keep it. I am ready to receive.

Let’s move to the ROOTS - together? 🖤

I feel vulnerable to share this BREATH & DANCE thing - and - it’s been coming to me from different times and detours of life.

I worry that people will not see this valuable, or important in their busy daily lives (something that is beyond my control)

I don’t want to add anything more into yours (or mine) schedule - - - I DREAM to create more SPACE.

Presence.
Freedom.
Connection.
Togetherness.

I value those qualities so much in my own life, it’s the reason why I practice - why I breathe, move, evolve and create.

My willingness to see where this all could grow is bigger than the fear of being somehow unseen, insignificant, failing, or not be understood 🖤

The first session(s) is called ROOTS, and it’s all about releasing control, being held and surrendering.

Somatic movement focuses on how movement is felt from within the body.

There are no steps to learn — just simple invitations to be present, to explore, to listen and to express oneself through the authentic movement, breath, different sensations, and inner rhythm.

Movement can also be shaped by what we carry and what we are in a process of letting go — memories, habits, layers of numbness or tension, beliefs —

✨the presence gives space to practice, and allows some of that to soften, and shift…

in it’s own time.

🖤
