Currently I have been working with a highly qualified and very well renowned Esoteric Practitioner and Physiotherapist Kate Greenaway-Twist on a Connective Tissue Exercise program.
Each month we have an online session where Kate shares different Connective Tissue Exercises to support my body. I have made the choice to commit to do these exercises every day and night, when I wake up and before I go to bed. I have found this to be an incredible support, and also the changes and expansion from these simple movements in my body is immense. Until last night I didn’t realise how much, as I tend to brush aside the grandness of things, thinking it’s no big deal.
Kate asked how this past month had been and I shared what has been going on for me. Lastly came a question about my pelvic floor area, an area I shared the previous month I was completely disconnected from; that I couldn’t, or in truth, didn’t want to feel.
This whole area I actually looked at – and have looked at – with disgust for around 20 years. Why? Because of the level of abuse I have allowed in my body by having sex with people I didn’t want to and when I didn’t want to, purely through a lack of self-worth, a need, and growing up thinking I would find love outside of myself from someone else or in a relationship, rather than inside me, and my relationship with myself.
What I shared with Kate was huge; through the simple choice to connect to my body and move, doing two Connective Pelvic Floor Exercises for a few minutes every day – nothing else – I actually feel absolute love in and for this whole area.
It feels a joy to connect to and feel this part of my body, and to be honest when I look down I now smile; there’s a warmth, a tenderness and a love there that I have never felt before, or at least not for a very long time. I can absolutely say I love this area of my body, it feels precious and I want to take care of it deeply.
To feel this, I didn’t have to go into analysing my past choices, or wallow in my woes, I simply made the choice to connect to this part of my body and move it in a different way, following the Connective Tissue Exercises with a very loving quality, every day.
If I can make a simple choice to change and reconfigure a more than twenty-year-old pattern of abuse in my body, then I can make a choice to change everything that’s not loving or supporting me. It doesn’t have to be a big deal.
I have always heard and known the fact that everything is a choice, but until yesterday I have not felt this so clearly, simply and deeply in my body.

The Truth about Serge Benhayon 
“It doesn’t have to be a big deal” But, the response from our body is huge and changes the way we move with every step we take.
Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is the simplest of techniques but delivers the most astound results.
“If I can make a simple choice to change and reconfigure a more than twenty-year-old pattern of abuse in my body, then I can make a choice to change everything that’s not loving or supporting me. It doesn’t have to be a big deal.” I love what you’ve shared here, it’s taking out the drama to allow our love to be restored very simply. Love is actually our natural way so it makes sense that we can actually easily discard unloving patterns, even if they’ve been there a long time. I am also learning at the moment how key it is to work directly with the body to bring about change.
It is a simple and wise choice to let go of all that is not loving and supporting to our bodies, ‘ I can make a choice to change everything that’s not loving or supporting me.’
Recently I have taken up changing one thing in my life and have noticed how it’s spreading to other parts of my life. Seemingly ‘small’ moves have a huge impact on our lives.
Gyl I can feel just how much I do this
“I tend to brush aside the grandness of things, thinking it’s no big deal.”
I have made the extra-ordinary, ordinary and life is not ordinary at all. We have as a collective made it so dull and monotonous because so many of us have lost the magic of God that surrounds us always.
When I relax, and take time for me, unwind and chill I feel my whole body relaxing, though when I am stressed I can go hours without connecting to the intricate parts of me.
