- Taking a Body Break - by Submitted on Jan 17, 2012 from Abigail SteidleyAs you know from previous posts, I’m in the middle of doing a bunch of new stuff with my business and website.

Views: 1832 - The Full-Tilt - by Submitted on Feb 13, 2012 from Abigail SteidleySeveral weeks ago, I wrote a blog post about the In-Between.

Views: 841 - Want to Heal - Be a Hot Mess - by Submitted on Feb 13, 2012 from Abigail SteidleyRight now, I have a group of coaches taking my Mind-Body Coach Training. They’ve been thrown into what I call The Mess as they experience the first part of the training. This just means that they are learning how to feel emotions, what to do with body tension and pain, and discovering that their ...
Views: 968 - What Do You Want Today? - by Submitted on Sep 23, 2011 from Abigail SteidleyPain is the ultimate waker-upper. There’s probably a real word for that, but I can’t think of it right now.
