On the body, the mind, and the inner conflict

3 min · essay

All the parts of me.

On the multiplicities — and why you don't have to fight or resist any of it.

— Gloria Baraquio · 2026

We don't always have the words.

But the body has sensed it before the mind can process it.

The mind says, “I don't know. I'm not sure. I'm confused. I'm in a funk.” There is an inner conflict…

Or you can accept the multiplicities. Befriend the discomfort. You can feel all of it, be all of it. Make room for all of it. You don't have to fight or resist any of it.

I've been planning for my upcoming retreat at Omega Institute, and we have all the things lined up for you to feel fully expressed. To allow you to process difficult, conflicting emotions. In truth, we are living in a multidimensional time.

At this retreat, you can expect to connect with all parts of you through vinyasa, nidra, chakras, vocal work, theater exercises, authentic movement, dance, nature walks, silence, journaling, mantra and more.

Come if you're feeling stagnant, stuck or stale. Leave feeling free, fluid and digested.

If this reached you
