I'd like to extend the invitation to practice holding space for the and/both of your experience as you travel through the guide. Here are a few and/both experiences you may encounter:

• My body holds both what is challenging AND what is resourcing.
• There may be parts of me that are afraid or worried about somatic work AND there may be parts of me that are excited and hopeful about somatic work.
• I can hold both grief and hope, sadness and peace, difficulty and confidence.
• I can both experience challenge in somatic healing AND make progress.

What other and/both experiences would you like to hold space for?
