Hello—
And here comes April—which T.S. Eliot thought to be the "cruelest month". I've always thought that to be inaccurate. For me, it's March with the early tease of Spring, often followed by snow! We're also moving out of Mercury Retrograde so communications will seem much less tangled. Phew! What a relief.
For this week's recap, I've looked at the moment before we fall into a pattern of trauma, and I've reconsidered the concept of "devices" in our lives.
All SwaffWords© videos are posted on both my YouTube Channel (if you haven't yet, please click "Subscribe") and in my Facebook Video Library. Please make sure you're part of my Bodymind Listening community on Facebook by clicking "Like". Also, for your convenience, you have a choice with each video—whether you'd rather view it on YouTube or Facebook.
Here's to all of us listening more deeply with our Bodyminds:
"The Gasp of Trauma" (2:50)—I've noticed there is what I call a "gasp" before a pattern of trauma gets triggered. When we're able to recognize it and then act on that "road sign", it can soften the moment for us. (YouTube Link or Facebook Link)
"Devices" (2:28)—There was a time when we were left to our own devices—rather than with them. When we're willing to go "old school", all kinds of possibilities open up for us. (YouTube Link or Facebook Link)
Please leave comments and share your insights on either or both videos. It's always helpful to consider another's perspective.

My site, Rapid Bodymind Clarity , has recently undergone a complete redesign (thank you more than you know, Rita Lascaro ). It truly captures both my approach and style. Wander over and browse through—let me know what you think.
Thanks much.
Until next time—
Cheers,
Steph
