Here’s what you’ll learn from Janelle:
What resistance is (from a nervous system perspective), how it affects your personal and creative life and how to get unstuck.
The OMG hack to help shift your resistance in 3 minutes or less (most people don’t know about this!)
A hand-touch exercise to calm, settle and open up creative flow in 9 minutes (another fairly unknown technique)
The 3 physical clues that resistance is taking over and what to do about it.
How your body is your most trusted ally for shifting resistance and creative block — if you’re busy, fear not, you’re going to love how straightforward these techniques are.
You’ll also learn:
How Janelle made the connections in her life and on her healing journey between creativity, personal life story writing and her body
Why and how doing your healing work and examining your life experiences supports creative flow and releases blockages
