Sometimes, who we think we should be keeps us from discovering who we are. And when we hold ourselves back, we deprive others of the gifts we could share.

We are all drawn to our bodies. We strive for them to look better, feel healthier, or move more freely. We are equally captivated by the bodies of others; those we love, admire, or even envy. But while these pursuits often center on appearances or perfection, the deeper journey is about something far more profound: authenticity.

Every story begins with emotion—whether it’s joy, fear, or hope. This is a personal reflection on how our emotions shape the stories we tell, both to others and ourselves.

When your body is in flow, your Chi—your life force—is activated, forming a connection between your physical form and inner essence. Through co-regulation and alignment, this connection deepens, guiding you closer to the life you truly desire.

It has the power to inhibit or overactivate itself: fear slows it down, rage drives it into overdrive. Sadness causes the brain to shrink, while anger disrupts and intensifies its rhythms.

Descriptions or models are not the same as the thing they describe. It’s a bit like saying that reality is not the same as the truth.
