Come To Your Senses with Mary Lofgren

We all have traits of nurturance, intuition, emotionality, sensitivity and flow; but for many of us, regardless of gender identity, these feminine aspects are vastly under utilized.  When I coach with a client to help them expand into their desires, we do not focus on toughening up and going for the gold.  In fact, in embodiment coaching we focus on becoming even more sensitive to the subtle messa...

Do you ever wish that bedtime felt more luxurious?  Does getting into bed at night sometimes resemble a crash landing?  Many people yearn for a more relaxing bedtime ritual, but when you're already exhausted, even a shower can feel like work.  The liminal space of preparing for sleep is so precious, and can be so simple.

What if the relationship between our bodies and our minds could actually be THE greatest love story of all time? Y...

In every seduction, there are three phases.  I’ve never built a campfire, but I’ve watched!

Louis Schwartzberg once said:  “Beauty and seduction are nature’s tools for survival, for we will protect what we fall in love with.”  Amen hallelujah, thanks Uncle Lou.  I view seduction very simply as “attraction in action”, and there are two ways to practice it.  One is the kind where you feel like you’re in a trance of impulse, driven by the urge to act even though it might mean abandoning you...

Recently I saw a jaw dropping, gorgeous dance performance that just floored me with its genius.  There was a moment during the show where I reflected on all the things I yearn for when I’m feeling lonesome.  {Insert fantasy of the perfect home/money/partner/body/creative idea that capitalism and other oppressive systems insist would bring total fulfillment.} “If those things were to walk in the do...
