I spent a lot of my first 18 years feeling relatively disembodied, but was lucky enough to stumble early onto certain practices like T'ai Chi, dreamwork, and meditation that helped me connect more with my body-based intuition.
I look forward to digging deeper into your writing!
There aren't enough people like Kalina in the world, for sure
Are there any specific tai chi/qi gong resources that helped you starting out? I've practiced some here and there, but it never really *sticks* as well as some part of me wants it to
I could recommend some specific resources, but I think the most important thing in this case (getting it to "stick") is connecting with the pleasurable feeling of doing the T'ai Chi form. For most people, that means memorizing a form first so you don't have to worry/think about it and can just enjoy the feeling of flow. Practicing outside also helps.
Feel free to message me if you want specific book/video type recommendations, though!
