At what point did we stop experiencing the joy of being a small child—curious about movement, excited by what was in the sky, fascinated by things crawling on the ground, wiggling our fingers and toes just because we could?

When did we start getting so worried and concerned about what might go wrong—allowing stiffness and rigidity to take hold in our muscles?

As teenagers, we may think we’re still having fun, but by then, we’ve often begun following rules—rules our bodies conform to as we experience fear, pain, trauma, disappointment, and the daily rush from place to place. The body becomes the harbinger of all life experience.

But what if we turned that idea around?

What if we understood that the emotion we believe comes from the body was actually put there by us? Our physical body would still play, still move, if only we let it. The problem lies in the unconscious, trained resistance to letting that happen.

We think the body feels resistance because something is wrong with it. But more often, it’s because at some point, we lost touch with that small child inside—the one who allowed the body to heal, who kept moving even while feeling discomfort. Movement is life force. And for many of us, that spark ends far too early.

Sadly, some children never get to experience that joy for very long.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone could return to that sense of wonder? To have the desire to move—and allow it to happen again?

You can do that.

Yes, there will be resistance—not because your body is fighting you, but because you are fighting the change your body is ready to make.

We so often prevent our own healing.

When you resist change, that’s when you feel the pain. But pain isn’t just negative—it’s a signal. It’s one of the only ways your body can communicate to you.

It misses being free.
