Why You Hate Meditating (And What Your Nervous System Really Needs)
When Silence Isn't Peace, It's Noise.
You’ve tried, haven't you? You sat down, closed your eyes, breathed deep... and your mind got louder. Instead of finding calm, you felt the failure of being "unfixable."
Let's drop the shame right now: You are not broken.
For sensitive, creative, intuitive women like us, stillness is not always the doorway to peace. It can be a wide-open gate for anxiety. Your nervous system is simply calling for something different.
The Science of Safety (and the Secret to Slow Stitching)
Our bodies find peace not just in stillness, but in rhythm. When we engage in gentle, repetitive movements—when we focus our hands—we send a clear signal to the brain: We are safe. This is the secret science behind why crafting is healing.
This is the core of mindful movement, and it's why slow stitching is a perfect form of meditation for the sensitive soul. It's gentle, tactile, and gives your mind a beautiful place to land while your body finds its calm.
In my new YouTube video, I'm sharing the exact moment this practice changed my life and the powerful science behind why stitching works when everything else fails.
