Hi Beautiful friend! Today we are starting a new series all about Body First Healing! Over the next few weeks we will be talking all about how trauma affects the body and some ways that you can actually start to heal your nervous system! Scripture in this episode: 🕊 Psalm 139:14 — “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” 🕊 Romans 8:11 — “The Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you.” Trauma is stored not only in the mind but in the body — in muscle tension, chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, or numbness. God designed our bodies to heal — but healing can’t happen if we’re always stuck in survival mode. Healing Tips to help you feel safe again: 1. Body Awareness Check-In: Pause right now and ask, “Where am I holding tension?” Place a hand there, breathe, and release. 2. Grounding Prayer: Breathe deeply and say, “God, I am safe in You.” Repeat until you feel your body soften. 3. Move Gently: Stretch, walk, or sway — motion tells your nervous system that you’re not trapped anymore.   🔥 Surrender to Heal Academy is relaunching soon—and enrollment will be limited! If you’re ready to stop living in survival mode, heal at the root, and walk in emotional, spiritual, and physical restoration with God, this is your next step!
