✨Let Go of Shame ✨

These past few months I have really been sitting in it
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Shame - Guilt - Regret - Uncertainty
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Wishing this pandemic didn’t push me into uncomfortable positions and could mind its Damn business!!! and expose me to places in my life that I didn’t want to go
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
It’s Important to Tap into the Power within yourself and Reclaim the parts of you that need to be rebirthed back to the surface
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
When the feeling of Shame comes through NAME IT and ask yourself WHY NOW? then after your exploration and process answer the question of well WHAT NOW?
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
There is a purpose and plan set for you
Lean into the unknown and allow yourself to reclaim your POWER
✨LET GO OF SHAME ✨

✨Thoughts on the Mat✨
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I use to be a people pleaser. Always doing things because I wanted to help and I wanted to be there for everyone. You get so stuck and engulfed in the world and other people that you forget about yourself.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
How do you show up for you today? What helps you to refuel and replenish?
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Evolution has no timeline however we can’t wait to share what new things are coming forth in this journey

I have been in so many places of uncertainty since the start of our New Year/New Season/Spring Season
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Sitting with feelings of Fear and Uncertainty
Struggling with mental blocks and indecisiveness
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
@the__trauma_queen held space for me and many in my beautiful Unleash and Unveil community to trust the journey that has put us ALL (not just me) in this gray area in life, leaning into the unknown so that we can get outta our place of comfortably
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Our end result will be transformation, unlearning of systems that no longer work for us, we’ll never worked for us, and moving confident in our walk in offering amazing medicine to the world
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I’m not preaching. Just sharing my experience. Can’t help you heal unless I am working on myself too
Thank you so much @the__trauma_queen for holding this powerful space for us. Still meditating on this word 🙏🏾
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Full Moon in Virgo 🌝 this Thursday

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
It's time to clean and clear out our path that has been set before us. Give yourself space and time to meditate on what needs to be sorted out and what needs your attention at this time of your life
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Remember to Trust Your Journey
With Trust in yourself comes clarity in how you want to move forward

“I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it”
- Maya Angelou
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Things happen in life. Some of the those things change our path in life. Some of them even change our lives.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Resilience shows us that capacity to recover and reshape in strength after whatever it is we experience or live through. To continue to go on shows resilience and affirms the need to not be reduced, made less or broken by it.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Inspired by Maya Angelou. Remember to stand firm and now allow what happened to us to make us any less than what we were before it happened.
The sustainment and vulnerability in healing is important in the process and know that healing does not equate to weakness.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
You are Powerful beyond Measure ✨
Move in your Resilience and if you don’t feel it, remember those before us who persevered and fought for our very existence.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
We are the Harvest of Survivors✨
Move In Your Power.
Move in Your resilience.
#bodyverse #wellness #resilience #mondaymotivation

Have you ever set a goal for yourself and not accomplish it?
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
How did you handle it?
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I was burnt out and tired. Fell off of my usual Yoga and Soulcare practice.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
As a result I saw myself as a failure and sat in it...heavy 😩
I had to remind myself of all that I DID accomplish and know that REST and taking breaks is just as vital
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I remembered to give myself compassion and patience
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
We are all moving in our purpose and goals. We don’t make progress on everything all the time...and that’s ok
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Trust the process of progress ebbing and flowing and give yourself the Grace to move from where you are right now
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Give yourself Patience and Compassion.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
You deserve it 💪🏾

A Love Letter To You 💌
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Today is a great day to send lots of love to someone you spend 24 hours a day with. That person is YOU
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Yes the season of love tells us that it’s all about the dates, gifts and many ways we share love and appreciation for others. Yes to that!...and Remember that you are your first love. Not in selfishness or boasting. Simply name what you love about you.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
In your letter write down:
1. One physical attribute about yourself that you love
2. One non-physical/surface attribute about yourself that you love
3. One way you want to practice self love (i.e. Get a massage, wear something comforting/feels good on your the body, please senses with something good to eat/smell)
4. One thing about yourself you are grateful for
5. One thing you accomplished in your life you should be proud of
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
You can do all of these things or you can write a letter about one or two or write a letter that feels good to you.
Just remember that it’s important to take time to say
“I Love You” to YOU
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Gained a bunch of new followers in the last few of weeks so I want to re-introduce myself

✨I’m Queenlin (she/her) born as Lindsay Howard, a black womanist creative arts therapist, movement liberator and clinician✨

🎭 I danced since I could move having one woman shows in my very living room. Being a mover is at the center of my core and I always find solace and peace when moving. I choreographed, danced and performed professionally at places like Kennedy Center, the Fillmore and Howard Theatre....later becoming a M’Singha Witi Community teacher in Umfundalai co-created by the late Mama Kariamu Welsh

👩‍❤️‍👩I love connecting with people and serving others. I studied in psychotherapy / health professions learning and gaining my Masters in creative arts therapy

🧘🏾‍♀️I practiced Yoga as an elective and soon became a daily ritual. I flew to Negril Jamaica and certified in Kemetic Yoga. Rooted philosophy in alignment with my black liberation practice. It changed my life.::.invited me to slow TF down, address a lot of my trauma/anger, shifted me to Plant Based eating and grounded me deeper into my spiritual lifestyle

🍃 I returned back to mental health work only to realize that the medical industrial complex and post traumatic stress in BIPOC folx were not being identified and addressed holistically. I needed to do something different than what I learned in PWIs

✊🏾I co-founded the Healers For Liberation Network birthed out of BLM DC organizing to provide mental and emotional support for black activists who needed structures in alignment with values daily healing, black joy, freedom and liberation.

💗 I am in community with amazing people looking to explore and create more holistic approaches decolonizing therapy @therapythatliberates also in tribe with beautiful ppl of @harrietsapothecary

🤸🏾‍♀️I hold space for BIPOC folx to heal themselves through every day life stressors using movement therapy, yoga and group facilitation

Now it’s your turn, Introduce yourself.
Tell me one thing about you and
Why you choose to follow me?

Managing Anxiety + Releasing Control = Inner Peace
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
We attempt to control circumstances to alleviate anxiety or stress
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
In holding onto control (especially when we try to control what we have no power over) it only serves to increase anxiety and stress
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Practice letting go
1. Identify and Name the situation or thought where you have control and where you don’t
✨Check in with yourself when stress begins to rise and ask “What am I in control of right now?”
Say it aloud or write down a list. Naming what you do have power of, reaffirms the power you can gain in the emotion your currently feeling
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
2. Give yourself Permission to Let Go
✨Let go of the need to hold on to the known and unknown. Trust yourself.
Mantras or I statements such as:
“It’s okay for me to let this go”
“I don’t need to hold onto this”
“I have done everything I can do”
Call a friend or loved one in for support if needed. You’re not alone in this.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
3. Radical Acceptance
✨This tells us to accept the things we cannot change (Ugh I know!) and we don’t have to lose ourselves or our beliefs/values in the process. Try Slowing Down thru Deep breathing, calming exercises and even short Yoga stretches. Next Create space for the reality of the situation to exist as well as the idea that accepting that is uncomfortable.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Give yourself Kindness and Grace.
Take time to center and ground in your Inner Peace
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
#bodyverse #peace #control #change #frustration #breathe #yoga #calm #practice #lettinggo #radicalacceptance #radicalacceptanceinprogress

Any change.::.Even change for the better.::.is accompanied by discomfort
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
This pandemic has moved us through series of constant changes. Honor the feelings that arise through the shifts. Name your sphere of control and be in stillness with what you can control
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Remember that we don’t have all the answers. If we did then we would all be free so allow yourself to get comfort with the uncomfortable and as we continue moving through the world of change, we are able to name ways that we grow from the shift
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

The Body Remembers It All
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I watched the Janet Jackson doc last week and immediately started remembering old choreography and memories of me dancing in the living room as a kid.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Body memory can take us back in time, it can move us through the JOY, Pain, Hurt, love and so much more in feels.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
When we are listening and being mindful through movement, we can tap into all the ways we show up in our bodies.::.unconscious nonverbal expressions, body behavior patterns, how we physically show up in relationships, intimacy and even your favorite mannerisms.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
The goal is not to shame or place judgement. The goal is to bring awareness to self and how you show up in the world. The goal is to name the actions and nonverbal ways you communicate and ask if this is the person I want to be or can I explore other parts of me that help me to be my best self?
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
My Free “Ask Me about Dance Therapy session” helps us explore all of these things. If you want space to just move, I’m ready. Hit me up.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

2.2.22
Harmony.::.Serenity.::.Equilibrium
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Authentic Movement is not choreographed or planned. It encourages expressive improvisation and free association of the body.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Harmony starts when we move as our authentic self. Allowing what comes up to come up, not changing or fixing but simply paying attention to what arises so that you can find equilibrium. Our movement meditation sessions have been diving into authentic movement a lot for the year 2022. I appreciate the tapping in for myself as well.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
What helps you to show up authentically?
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

This week sessions the word Surrender came up many times.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Practicing Calm Surrender means to cease resistance and fight against something we are experiencing in life. Not to be confused with defeat or giving up.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
The practice of Calm Surrender invites us to acknowledge how and what we are feeling and honor our where we currently are in life. From this place of honoring we can let go of expectation or judgement.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
The practice of Calm Surrender invites us to let go of anything that doesn’t ring true and simply sit with what is.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
In your own life how do you find yourself letting go, trusting yourself and embodying a calm surrender?
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Happy Monday!

Just a few Friendly Reminders to get us through the week ✨

#bodyverse #wellness #motivationalmonday #meditationmonday

Movement brings me JOY and I like to have fun with it 😄
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Listen...5 minutes at minimum to move and get the blood flowing can make all the difference in your body
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
In movement therapy sessions my folks and I move together, sometimes in simple movement meditation with breath and other times it becomes a full out dance party (Ayyyyyeeee)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
It’s so easy to move through the world as a floating brain 🧠 always in your head and never in your body. You also think “Nah I can’t dance” then don’t dance. Movement is pedestrian from walking, how you move your hands when you talk, your body language or everyday facial expressions. It can also be simple... through breathe and small stretches in the body.
Do what feels good for you.
As long as you are moving
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Your Body will Thank You later 🏃🏾‍♀️
Your Self will Thank You now 🙏🏾

Don’t forget to Dream today. Day Dreaming or at night.
Keep a journal by your bed side and write down everything you Dreamed, even if it doesn’t make sense at the time. Over time read and reflect on what your Dreams have to offer. What is vivid and clear in the unconscious and what needs more exploration. They say we only tap into a quarter (and even less than that) of the mind’s capacity.

What are your DREAMS?

“I gather together the dreams, fantasies, experiences that preoccupied me as a girl, that stay with me and appear and reappear in different shapes and forms in all my work. Without telling everything that happened, they document all that remains most vivid”
- Bell Hooks 🕊💜

✨Future You Care✨
Inspired by my Morning Meditation with The Daily Shine @theshineapp
Thank you @joyofodu
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
What will help Future You to feel cared for?
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
For me it’s Morning Meditation and Yoga at the start of my day
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Other ways to practice Future Care for Future You may be:
✨Having a Morning Mantra to motivate and encourage you
✨Warm Sweater/Socks to help you cope with the cold winter weather
✨Listening to a podcast that inspires and enlightens you
✨Connection with a friend (verbal or nonverbal) who validates You
✨Get an amazing playlist in your car
✨Eat something that will make your body feel good *Comfort Food is the best in winter seasons*
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Whatever you need for care, remember it’s important to take care of You today so that the Future You can show up as the their best self
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

“Great FAITH eliminates Fear”
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Fear lives inside all of us. It’s a natural feeling. It is a reminder for when we need to take care of ourselves or be mindful of our limits. Sometimes we have a strong ability to imagine the worst which stops us from taking risks.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
FAITH reminds us to tap into something bigger than ourselves. Faith brings us back to the possibility of being our greatest and pulling from a belief system that aligns our values ✨✨✨✨✨
Living in FAITH means that we must
Name the Fear
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Align with Faith - affirmations, people who support us, book/readings about faith, stories/videos
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Start to see yourself in that Alignment
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Imagine your Success
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Live the Story you want to Tell - Live in faith using the success you imagined
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
You may still feel fear at first it’s okay, keep going. Pause, take breaks when you need them and When you’re ready, take a few more steps. Be firm in the direction you want to go, committed to going forward. Allow the story to change as you move forward into your new narrative. Whatever happens, always imagine the success that you promised yourself. Circle back to your alignment and support systems when needed. Keep exercising your faith, and it’ll grow

I certified in Prenatal Yoga because I work with so many women who needed support in their pregnancy through movement or enjoyed Yoga and didn’t want to stop being active while building their families
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Women deserve access to body connection and movement. Pregnancy should never hinder ones movement journey. If anything movement makes for a much healthier pregnancy
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Here are 5 benefits of Prenatal Yoga
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I now support over 20+ women in their individual movement journey and I would love to connect with you.

✨Mid-Week Affirmation✨
You are worthy of love no matter what percentage of healing you’re at
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
No Person is 100% healed. That’s a lie that we tell ourselves in a world that glorifies masking, perfection and accomplishments.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
The truth is....Healing isn’t linear. We go back and forth and sometimes we are all over the place. It’s okay. That’s a part of the process.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Release the Need to Be Perfect.
You don’t need to be 100% healed. You are already deserving of love and all the good things you desire to come your way.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

✨Motivation Monday ✨
When manifesting and affirming what you want...Remember that your words have POWER ✨
🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
We are guilty sometimes of saying things passively and not realizing what I am actually saying...
✨Speak words of LIFE into yourself. ✨Ask for what you want even when it seems impossible
✨Don’t speak out of FEAR or uncertainty
✨Always be impeccable with your word
✨Be mindful of word projections
#bodyversewellness #movementmeditation #manifestation #affirmation #mondaymotivation #reframe #refresh #restart

Conversations I have with my clients in movement coaching sessions
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Remember the resolutions and intentions you set are for YOU. Don’t let the influence of the world or even the pressure from others TELL you what you have to do
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Sit with what works for you. If your resolution doesn’t feel like it feeds LIFE into you, re-evaluate and try again. You have permission to change your resolution anytime you want as many times you want
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
...and if you need support. Hit me up for a FREE Power session. I’m here.
I gotchu 😉

Happy New Year from Bodyverse 🦋

You do not just wake up and become a Butterfly, Growth is a process.

On day 1 of 2022 know that you are actually where you need to be to start your journey and fall into the journey of continuous growth and prosperity

New beginnings are ahead ✨

End of the year Thoughts 💭

There is so much stress and pressure with folx right now on setting a resolution and intention for the New Year that sometimes it becomes so demanding and overwhelming.

For whoever needs to hear it sometimes you simply being present in the moment is enough.

Release the need to always have an agenda or to do list. Capitalism shows us that our worth is in what we produce. Your humanity shows that your very existence is enough. Allow yourself to rest and find care.

The rest will come 🙏🏾
Here’s to 2022! 🥂

What uh ride! Ok maybe I went a lil over 15 minutes but there was so much that happened and still didn’t even brush the surface in this reel. 2021 has moved me in abundance, shadow work, dream work and defining my intention moving forward. Now it’s time to manifest the dream and continue the learning and unlearning.
2022 let’s go! 🤸🏾‍♀️💨
#bodyverse #wellness #solidagowellnessjourney #2021inlessthan15seconds #2022

Happy Holidays everyone!
Today is the first day of Kwanzaa ✊🏾
Umoja means UNITY
🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯
COVID holidays may have many of us feeling lonely and isolated in quarantine this year.
Remember to check in on your friends and family who live alone or may not have anyone this holiday season. Just a call or a text letting them know you care.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
UNITY is not only about physically being together but togetherness in how we speak, maintaining support as a collective instead of individualism and Unity in how we move through the world.

Happy Kwanzaa! ❤️🖤💚

“In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.”
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year with the longest night of the year when the Sun is at its lowest daily maximum elevation in the sky.
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
This year has not at all been an easy one. Lots of our transformation may have been birthed out of grief, loss and a change of the world as we know it to be but there are always seeds within in the rumble, dirt and ashes that allow the rebirth of something new.
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Winter reminds us of the end...and also of all the New beginnings that come forth. We hope that you can take this time to enjoy the fruits of your harvest. To be in the abundance of all that has been learned, see the sprouting of seeds that were planted throughout the year and to enjoy the dream that is happening right now in the present moment.
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
On this day of Solstice we have permission to be in Gratitude for what hasn’t taken us out and for all the things that bring us Joy
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Happy Winter Solstice ✨

Full Moon in Gemini ♊️

Not only the last Full Moon but the longest moon of this year

This moon season has awarded me the gift to go with the flow and reflect from what I learned in this year

One of my favorite life principles is a African Proverb: Sankofa means “Go back and fetch it” It teaches us that we must learn from our past lessons in order to move forward into what’s next in life. This moon truly revisited this for us.

Before you jump into your New Years resolutions and plans for 2022, don’t forget what lessons have helped you grow within this 2021 year.

Peace ✌🏾 🌝 🐝 🌼

#bodyversewellness #fullmoon #gemini #release #flow #learn #reflect #2021

I’m so excited for what 2022 is going to bring for Bodyverse 🙏🏾

We take time to be in stillness and find the most transformative growth happens here. We are also embarking in many new journeys which will help clients get the most benefit in their wellness journey.

We show up for ourselves so that we can fully show up for YOU

Remember that active presence on social media does not always mean active presence in your business.

We are holding beautiful space for all of this work and before the Year ends it’s important for us to pause, reflect and be present in this moment.

Be Well ✨
Be Safe ✨
Beautiful People ✨

This year has been far from easy. Giving up so much, experiencing so much grief and loss and navigating (or ignoring) all of the feelings that arise in the process.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
What have you done for you lately?
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Find a moment of stillness. Breathe.
Now what feels like LOVE for you. How does it feed you? What part of it vibrates love within you? What part truly makes your heart sing?
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Explore all the things that bring love to you, old and new
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Hibernation season is here. Time to go within ourselves and take extra care of YOU

Don’t get stuck on the WHAT, HOW and WHEN

That will keep you stuck and always wanting it to be perfect before you execute your dream

Sometimes the best way to do a thing is to JUST DO IT....and find the courage after its done 💪🏾

I’m not preaching. I’m not teaching. Real Talk. I had to learn it for myself.

The Day of Mourning 🙏🏾
Before I eat and gather with family
I meditate today and I sit with the feelings that arise as we remember many Native, American Indian and Indigenous people of color that were lost on this day. For many this is a Day of Mourning.

It’s important to acknowledge all those who continue to move through the world as decedents of Ancestors who share this history of violence and Genocide in America and continue to mourn on this day.

Giving continued prayers of Hope and never forgetting Indigenous History and Indigenous People.
Fuck colonialism ✊🏾

We changing the game y’all!!!

Above all else, remember that it’s your time. Use it the best way you see fit. Don’t feel obligated around the holidays to be in spaces with family, chosen family or friends that do not honor you or feel in alignment with how you are currently moving through the world.

Change is tough and it’s hard to say no especially during times of a pandemic where we are all trying to make up for lost time or feeling grief/loss but don’t lose your values in the process of how you feel.

You deserve to live your life in honor of you. You are worthy of showing up in spaces that make you feel valued and to be your most free and liberated self.

....and if you need help this season. I’m only a call away. Check my BIO for a Free Power session. I got you!
