What It Feels Like
Your head feels full or like it’s going to explode. You may feel stuck in your thoughts, disconnected from your body, or constantly living in the future. It’s hard to slow down or feel grounded in the present.
The Pause Gateway reminds us of the healing power of stillness. When we slow down and bring awareness back to the body, we create space for rest, integration, and alignment. Releasing tension in this gateway supports not only the physical body but also a calmer, clearer mind. This is the first step toward feeling safe, present, and whole.
🌿 Is your mind racing while your body feels left behind?
Let’s bring you back into balance. A Spinal Flow session can help you pause, reset, and feel like yourself again.
