There are moments when something in your life begins to expand.
A desire grows.
An opportunity stretches you.
A new level of visibility, responsibility, love, or impact begins to feel close.
And with it — a tightening.
Not because you’re wrong.
Not because you’re blocked.
But because your nervous system is adjusting to more.
The Widening Practice is a steady, body-based ritual for those moments.
This guided experience supports you in increasing your capacity to hold expansion without gripping, rushing, or collapsing.
So you can grow at a pace your body can sustain.

This ritual is for you if:
You feel stretched by something you deeply want
You notice excitement quickly turning into pressure
You tend to overwork, overthink, or retreat when things grow
You feel yourself at an edge — unsure whether to leap or pull back
You want to expand without destabilizing your nervous system
Whether you’re stepping into more visibility, more intimacy, more leadership, or simply more of yourself — this practice strengthens your ability to stay steady inside it.
When this practice is supportive
In this guided practice, you’ll be invited to gently explore:
your Core Desired Feeling in the body
the thought or belief that tightens around it
where expansion lives physically within you
how to stay with activation without reacting
how to soften contraction by one degree
This is not about forcing growth. It’s not about eliminating fear. It’s about strengthening your range.
As your capacity widens, what once felt overwhelming begins to feel steady.
What to expect
You might return to The Widening Practice when:
something feels just beyond your comfort zone
you’re standing at a threshold
your desire feels bigger than your current normal
you notice yourself gripping or bracing
you want to expand without collapsing
a weekly nervous system strengthening ritual
This can be used as:
a grounding practice before a big step
a reset when growth feels activating
a companion to moments of visibility, responsibility, or leadership
