“You want to be it, but do you also want to become it?”

We want it so badly.

Being ourselves. Getting closer to the core. Letting go of old patterns.

We express our desires, sometimes from within, sometimes outwardly:

“I want to feel more.”

“I want to say no”

“I want to be okay with whom I am.”

And then the real question:

Are you willing to do everything to get there? Are you willing to say "yes" to yourself and "no" to others? Do you just want to be it, or do you also want to become it?

The desire for change is often clear. You see a version of yourself in your mind:

• someone who does what she likes

• someone who feels and respects boundaries

• someone who gives space to her own dreams and needs

That image feels appealing. Sometimes even necessary.

Only the becoming requires something else, namely patience, attention, sometimes discomfort.

Because once you really start to feel like yourself, you will not only encounter happiness.

You see and feel your hurt parts, recognize your own patterns and how they work against you.

You feel what your body has known for a long time, but your head would rather skip.

And that's where many people give up. Not because they don't want to, but because it's scary and triggers all sorts of fearful thoughts:

What if I can't handle it? What if I can't get out of it?

Your body never lies. Your feelings don't lie. They want to be felt, heard, and seen.

In my work as a private yoga teacher and body-oriented therapist, I see this time and time again.

The body tells the truth—sometimes softly, sometimes loudly. But always clearly:

• a breath that stops

• a lump in your throat

• knot in your stomach

They are not problems, but the language of your body.

Becoming is a process, not an achievement

At Move to Feel, it's not about getting better, becoming more flexible, or doing yoga "properly."

It's about coming home to your body.

To become means:

• be with what is

• follow the body instead of letting the thinking mind take over

• live your own dreams, passions and feel your enthusiasm

And yes, that requires commitment. Not to an ideal image,

but to yourself — exactly as you are now.

So… do you want to be you?

You don't have to know the answer right away.

Perhaps you only feel a little curiosity. That's enough.

For the path to becoming does not begin with knowing,

but with daring to feel.

I am happy to guide you in this.

Love, Kristin
