I believe that delight is our true nature, compassion heals, and being in community with like-hearted people nourishes the soul. You step into and embody your true power when you turn inward and listen to your heart. More about Lisa →

This weekend, I am assisting at the Somatic Experi This weekend, I am assisting at the Somatic Experiencing training @somaticexperiencinginstitute that I took several years ago. It’s amazing to return here to this place and space and meet myself again. This happens, doesn’t it? When we return to a place that was important and poignant in the past and years later we return and we can see ourselves - the years between when we left and now when we are returning. . We can look back and be reminded “Ohhh I am loved!” and “Wow! Look at the growth that has happened in these years.” Or even “I’ve been through a lot...and I’m here!” . It may not all be pretty and perfect. But somehow, we sense that we are loved - by real, tangible people AND by Source/Divine/God/Universe. And somehow, it’s all okay. It’ll all be okay. And we can start our day from this place and peace. . I wrote this in my journal this morning as a love note reminder. I hope this adds some light and peace into your day, too. May it breathe some spaciousness into your day and heart, too. . #poetrywithlisa #selfcompassion #youareloved #selfkindness #compassion #imperfectandokay
Over 10+ years ago, a dear friend invited me to he Over 10+ years ago, a dear friend invited me to her bridal shower. As we were going around sharing who we were, my friend introduced me as a poet and someone who “always has poetic words that inspire and nourish” her spirit. I was a bit embarrassed being the center of attention as everyone turned toward me. And then they asked if I had any words about marriage that I wanted to share. (No pressure!) . I said, “Circle back to me. I’ll write something.” And, as poetry seems to do with me, I surrendered and this is what I wrote on the back of scrap paper and an envelope. . I read it again today and I think “Yep. Totally still applies. Even after all these years.” I thought you might resonate with this “everyday kind of love”, too, on Valentine’s Day: . Saying Yes. Again and Again. By Lisa McCrohan . I loved you long before I ever met you. . Long before I ever knew the contours of your face, before I ever wrapped my arms around your waist; . before I ever knew what made you laugh or cry, scared or feel alone. . I loved you long before I said YES. . Yes to your kisses and comforting embrace . Yes to snuggling with you and making love with you . Yes to spending the rest of my life with you. . But what I am discovering lately is this: . The funny thing about love is that you have to keep saying YES. . Yes to trash night and cleaning the bathroom . Yes to sharing a bank account and a mortgage . Yes to long labors and sleepless nights . Yes to unexpected losses and missed opportunities . Yes to being vulnerable and choosing to join each other when we’d rather jump ship. . We have to say yes – to all of it – the happy and ecstatic moments as well as the sad and mournful moments. . We have to keep saying yes year after year – and sometimes minute by minute! . We have to choose to say yes, this moment, this breath. . So on the day I stand in front of our family and friends, I’ll say yes to you – in that moment, with that breath, and all the breaths I am to have. Lisa A. McCrohan, © .

A few months ago, I told my husband, "I need a mon A few months ago, I told my husband, "I need a month-long vaca in Kauai again!" Well, that wasn't in the cards for this winter. But I realized that this desire to escape was coming from slowly collecting "too much": . - too much responsibility for everyone's well-being and not enough attention on my own delight - too much running around and not enough "being" - too much noise and not enough silence - too much work and not enough play - too much stress and not enough laughter - too much logistical planning and not enough pleasure. . Then one day in yoga class, something the instructor said challenged me and changed something in me. . I want to share this with you, too, in case you feel stuck, weary, and in need of lightening what you are carrying. . Here's my post and poem, Self Love: https://www.lisamccrohan.com/2020/02/self-love/ (Link in profile) Blessings, Lisa . #poetrywithlisa #selflove #selfcompassion #benourished
Recently, I led a coaching client through a Somati Recently, I led a coaching client through a Somatic Experiencing (SE) inspired meditation + visualization + rehearsal of a big experience this client is going to go through soon related to her work that she is really nervous about. So we did such a lovely “holding of space” for her to titrate the parts of the experience that are triggering. . And in the end, her face was brighter, her breath more smooth and even, and she said she felt so much calmer and READY. . Ohhh I LOVE this approach that slows things down to allow the nervous system to “work through” the triggers that are overwhelming in a titrated way. . It’s about trusting the wisdom of the body and holding space to honor that wisdom. The body knows how to heal! My job is to listen well and gently guide my clients. . Can I share this with you all? (I’m learning to accept compliments and share more about the work I do). My client hugged me and said, “Lisa, honestly, you are the best.” . I said shyly, “Well, I try. I really care about my clients and I try to be present and loving.” . She said, “Oh Lisa. It shows. It really comes through. Oh I’m just so grateful. It has changed my life.” . I told her that she has shown up and done the work. . And it’s true - it’s the client showing up, me holding space, and the divine holding it all. What a great trio. . I am grateful to do work that I love. It’s my hope this 1:1 work makes the world a kinder, more inclusive and compassionate world. . And I’m grateful to be able to do coaching with anyone around the world via Zoom (psychotherapy is in person)! What a world we live in that we get to “meet” like this and spread healing and light around the world! . If you want to listen more to the wisdom within you AND your body, and see some big shifts in your life, check out coaching. You’ll see on my website that you can grab a free intro consult. Pass this along if someone you know could benefit from such “holding of space.” Thank you so much! . . #coachingwithlisa #somaticexperiencing #bodywisdom #lovetheworkyoudo #healing #nervoussystemregulation

You guys!!! I just started skiing last year and in You guys!!! I just started skiing last year and instantly I was hooked. I loved the feeling of learning a new sport, being a bit afraid, and going for it. . Well, this weekend —get this — I went down my first black diamond slope!!!! And then another and another! . One year ago, I was scared to go down the bunny slope let alone a black diamond. And this weekend, something just clicked. I was scared but ready. I stood at the top of that black diamond, and with my friends next to me saying “You got this!” - I started down! And it felt so awesome!!! I was in the flow. I was totally doing it!!! And when I got to the bottom, I felt so good! . I also had a goal of doing 100 runs this winter. As of this weekend, I’m over 120! . I feel so proud of myself! I kept going. I kept working at this new sport. And I can’t believe I just did a bunch of black diamonds! . And you know what I am most proud of? I WANTED SOMETHING AND I WENT FOR IT. I took the SOUL RISK to learn and train and fumble and get up and do it again and again. . I am telling you, if there is something that you have always wanted to do but you are afraid... . If there is something you that makes your heart go “Yes! I need that!” but you are afraid... . If there is a challenge your body has been asking you to do that would enliven you and strengthen you but you are afraid... . ...Please go for it! . So you might fall. You might fail. You might get discouraged. Others might say “Hurry up!” Or “Why are you doing that?!” . But I urge you: keep listening to that inner voice of truth. All those other voices are just distractions. And they are short lived. They will not matter when you are: ...sailing down that mountain, ...surfing that wave, or ...crossing that finish line. . There will be the most exhilarating feeling that comes from deep within you, “I just did that!” . #goforit #midlifegoals #womeninmidlife #liveyourdream #makeithappen #yougotthis #persevere #rockingit #doityourownway #followyourheart #listentoyourbody #innerpeace
