I almost messed up timestamptz in Laravel
Tags: Laravel

Why use timestamptz columns instead of timestamp?

If you’re using Postgres, it’s recommended. Check out the very informative “Don’ t Do This” page in the Postgres wik (https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Don%27t_Do_This#Don.27t_use_timestamp_.28without_time_zone.29).

Laravel supports timestamptz columns in migrations via $table->timestampTz('example'); .

However, if that is all you do, your data may silently be stored incorrectly (due to exclusion of the timezone offset in queries) if:

One of your database server(s) are not set to the same timezone as your application. One of your model’s Carbon objects are not set to the Application’s timezone. For example, Carbon::createFromUtcTimestamp(time()); and Carbon::now() are not cast to the same string unless Laravel is set to UTC, which is the default. Even then, a Carbon object’s timezone is neither immutable nor limited to Laravel’s timezone.

To ensure the timestamp is stored correctly, define $casts for each attribute to datetime and define $dateFormat = 'Y-m-d H:i:s P'; on each model.

class Example extends Model

{

protected $dateFormat = 'Y-m-d H:i:s P'; protected $casts = [

'created_at' => 'datetime',

// 'updated_at' => 'datetime',

];

}

Neither can be omitted! In the above, the created_at attribute will be stored correctly with timezone offset, but updated_at will not.

These two columns, generated by $table->timestampsTz(); , are why we cannot use a custom Cast class (https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/eloquent-mutators#custom-casts) to solve our problem.

Upon creating and saving a new model instance, created_at and updated_at are not yet set. When Laravel generates these, in the absence of $dateFormat being defined, the Cast setter is passed $value of format 'Y-m-d H:i:s' .

Additionally, we cannot access the underlying Carbon object in the Cast setter, as those two model attributes are not yet set by time of the Cast setter call.

Network Request Failed/Network Error in React Native using Laravel API and Android emulator
By: Kevin Ilondo
Tags: Programming Tips, Tutorial, React Native, Laravel, Programming

If you are currently working on an app with React Native and you are using Laravel as your backend, you have probably encountered this problem.

And this article will help you solve this problem with just ONE SIMPLE TRICK.

SOMETIMES THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY HOW YOU START YOUR LARAVEL APP

We all know how to start a Laravel server with the simple php artisan serve command and that’s the problem.

By starting your Laravel app like that it creates a link for your app which is localhost:8000 (the port may be different for you, it might be 3000, 8080 or anything else but we will use 8000 for this tutorial).

When making an HTTP Request with React Native, there is some kind of conflict because your Android app is run on an emulator which uses localhost too, and instead of sending the request to the localhost on your computer, it sends the request to the phone itself but with a different port and that is why you are getting this error.

THE TRICK THAT HELPED ME

Just start the server by giving an IP address and a port

It’s just that simple! Start your app as usual but don’t forget to give an IP address and a port, this will help you solve the Network Request Failed error.

NOTE: Replace 10.10.10.2 with your own IP Address, this is just an example

And on your mobile app, make sure to use the correct URL in your request.

Make sure that CORS is enabled in your backend to avoid errors related to CORS. Next time I will make make a detailed post about how to enable it and how to solve issues related to CORS.

CONCLUSION

Start your Laravel app and enter your IP address and a port

Use the URL in your HTTP Request.

That’s it, I hope this post was useful to you and happy coding!
Uploading large files in a dockerized Laravel app
By: Abdullahi Abdulkabir
Tags: File Size, Docker, Laravel, PHP, Projects

I was working on a project and requires upload of large files to the hosting server. At first I was a bit confuse whether I could just write a code to increase the upload time, execution time and all of that. Turns out that I need to modify the PHP.ini (PHP settings) in the docker settings since I was using php-alphine.

The first modification I did was to increase:

post_max_size: This is the limit of the entire body of the request, which could include multiple files. For more info on php site check here

upload_max_filesize: This set the upload maximum file size that can be uploaded. For more info on php site check here

max_execution_time: This set the max execution time. While uploading a large files this needs to be increased to avoid error like “Gateway timeout”

For my docker configuration, I had a custom-php.ini already setup. This file helps to override any configuration set in the php.ini file.

Above is a sample of how I set custom-php.ini in my docker and made some modification to the memory_limit, max_exexution_time etc.

When I build this image again, the changes will be effected on the php.ini file.

Note: It is not always advisable to edit php.ini file directly from the terminal, using the approach at the top seems the best.

Tadda!! We are done modifying the changes to allow large files upload.

I hope this helps, thanks for reading.
Laravel — Top 10 PHP Links For October
By: Logan Land
Tags: PHP, Web Development, Development, Laravel

Recently Laravel 8 has been released with many features and improvements including Laravel Jetstream.

Laratips — A great getting started video for Laravel 8 Views and Blade Templates. Code is here.

Laratips — From the same series, this time covering using Validation with Forms.

Laravel 8.10 came with the addition of the new upsert() method on the database query builder (and therefore Eloquent based queries too). This allows you to perform “insert or update” queries far more efficiently — which will help when importing large batches of data.

This package helps you authenticate users on a Laravel API based on JWT tokens generated from Keycloak Server.

This package contains a NovaTabTranslatable class you can use to make any Nova field type translatable with tabs.

Here is a list of PHP features which I use in my day-to-day life as programmer, but they weren’t the first thing I learnt in the language. I’ll admit they are not that unpopular compared to the ones I shared in my previous two articles, but after some thought, I decided they are worth their place in this series.

Clean-Laravel-Api offers you to do modern API development in Laravel. Package is inspired from esbenp/larapi with some cool modifications and also support for new versions of Laravel.

The blog post from Packagist is a good overview of everything that is new or changed with Composer 2.0.

Display Build Status and Test Coverage Badges for a Laravel Project
By: Nwachukwu Chibuike
Tags: Github, Travis Ci, Laravel, Testing, Coveralls

Setup repo with Travis CI and Coveralls

If you haven’t already, the first thing you need to do is to move over to Travis and login using your GitHub account. Once logged in hit the “Add New Repository” button to activate your repo. Repeat this procedure at Coveralls.io.

Configure PHPUnit and Coveralls

Luckily for us, Laravel comes shipped with PHPUnit. This tutorial assumes you have some tests written already. If not, it’s as simple as checking out the Laravel docs for writing test.

We’re also going to install Coveralls, which we’ll use to host the coverage report by simply require it:

composer require php-coveralls/php-coveralls

Or by adding the following line to the require block of your composer.json file.

"php-coveralls/php-coveralls": "^1.1"

This would add it to our composer.json file as a dependency.

Create a .travis.yml and .coveralls.yml

We would now proceed to create a Travis configuration file(.travis.yml) at the root of our Laravel project to get Travis CI set up. Also we would be creating a .coveralls.yml which would be used to set up the path to our clover.xml

Here’s what my .travis.yml looks like: I’m setting the language, the version of php, and telling it which additional script to run.

Here’s what my .coveralls.yml looks like: I’m assuming your phpunit.xml saves its clover.xml at the build/logs path.

coverage_clover: build/logs/clover.xml

json_path: build/logs/coveralls-upload.json

service_name: travis-ci

For the benefit of doubt, this is how my phpunit.xml and .env.example files looks like:
Laravel Route Groups
By: Zubair Idris Aweda
Tags: Backend Development, Web Development, Route, Laravel

Getting Started

Quite a lot of times in our web applications, we define a lot of routes (depending on the size of our application though) that share common features (the same path prefix, or the same name prefix, or even other middleware or authentication). Defining these routes individually (and repeating every feature they share upon every definition) could be tiring and could get hard to manage later on.

Laravel makes it very easy to define, respond to and perform more actions with these routes by letting us group them (based on what they have in common) and performing the same actions on all of them. Management becomes super easy if they are all together as one. 😄

You’re excited already? Or aren’t you? Well, I am. Let’s dive in.

Dive In | Clip Art Library

Route Groups

Route groups let you group routes that share route attributes such as path, name, middleware to avoid having to define these attributes on each individual route.

Creating A Basic Route Group

A basic route group in Laravel is created using Route::group() as shown below.

The method takes in two parameters, an array, and a callback. The array contains all shared features of the routes in the group. An example can be seen below.

Here, all the routes in this group are prefixed with the /admin path and also prefixed with the admin name. The callback contains all routes in the group. So if a route is defined like this:

It actually refers to the /admin/ path and can be accessed with the name “admin.index”.

For as many routes as you can include in the group, they all inherit these rules. And now you have time to worry about other things. 😊

Creating A Middleware Route Group

Creating a route group to share one or more common middleware can be achieved in two ways.

A. By Passing The Middleware Into The Features Array

B. By Using The Middleware Before Defining The Group

In both methods shown above, every route in the group will require the auth middleware instead of it being defined in every controller.

Creating A Path Route Group

Creating a path route group has two methods, like the middleware route group.

A. By Passing The Path (prefix) Into The Features Array

B. By Using The Prefix Before Defining The Group

In both methods, the /admin path is matched. All routes here forth created will be prefixed with the /admin path.

Creating A Name Route Group

A. By Passing The Name (as) Into The Features Array

B. By Using The Name Before Defining The Group

When specifying the name, always add the . after the name, as the name is put in front of whatever name all the routes in the group have as it was given.

Summary

Laravel route groups really save a lot of stress, and repetition in code, without losing code neatness. To learn more on route groups, read here.

public function roles()

{

return $this->belongsTo(Role::class);

}

database/migrations/2014_10_12_000000_create_users_table.php

$table->integer('role')->unsigned()->nullable();

$table->foreign('role')->references('id')->on('roles')->onDelete('cascade');

App/Role.php

public function users()

{

return $this->hasMany(User::class);

}

4. App/Providers/AuthServiceProvider.php

Gate::before(function ($user) {

if ($user->id == "1") {

return true;

}

}); Gate::define('add_category', function($user) {



$role = \App\Role::where('id', $user->role)->first();

foreach(json_decode($role->permission,true) as $permission)

{

if($permission == '1')

{

return true;

}

}



});

TailwindCSS + Sage10 usage example
Tags: Tailwind Css, Laravel, WordPress

Sage10 is a WordPress starter theme from a company/devs called Roots. Sage10 is still in the development branch; however, you can use it without worries in production.

Some notable differences from Sage9 is:

usage of Laravel Webpack mix (webpack.mix.js).

Controllers is now replaced with View Composers

Ability to create and use blade components:

Theme now uses a roots/acorn package, a kind of Laravel framework inside the WordPress theme.

TailwindCSS and Sage10 theme boilerplate: https://github.com/RomkaLTU/sage10-tailwindcss

Installation

Inside your WordPress theme directory, do:

cd to the cloned directory

run composer install followed by npm install && npm run build:production

composer install npm install && npm run build:production

Change webpack.mix.js

mix.setPublicPath to your match your local development URL.

run npm run start or yarn start to start dev server and watch for the changes.

npm run start

Working with theme

Check tailwind.config.js, located at the root of the theme.

This theme uses PostCSS to process CSS with a couple of plugins to help devs who previously worked with SCSS:

postcss-custom-properties

postcss-nested

CSS, JS files is located in /resources/assets directory.

Theme uses blade template engine and located in /resources/views directory. From there, it’s following WordPress theme structure and naming convention, so, for example, front-page.blade.php is the same as front-page.php. You should read about blade template engine here. HTML structure located in theme root directory index.php file.

Theme scripts and styles enqueued in /app/setup.php also, in this file, you can find after_setup_theme and widgets_init actions.

functions.php file located in the theme root directory. Add your stuff thereafter new Roots\Acorn\Bootloader();

Views composer

Check out view Composers to find out more.

All view composers are located in /app/View/Composers directory.

View composers help to keep theme files clean of PHP code. You can create your class based on the examples provided.

protected static $views = [

‘front-page’,

];

It means data returned in the override() method will be available in front-page.blade.php. So, for example:

public function override()

{

return [

‘title’ => $this->title(),

];

}

$title is now accessible in front-page.blade.php with {{ $title }}

‘My Special Tea’

***Disclaimer: I’m not saying to make it and drink it, I’m only sharing what I do. Always consult with a health professional first with all things like this etc. etc.***

Mullein.

siskiyouvitalmedicine.com sums it up its use like this;

“Mullein is indicated for dry, harsh, hacking coughs, and weak lungs. It is also helpful to the kidney and nervous system. The flowers of this plant are soothing and coat the lungs, while the leaves are more astringent and expectorant, helping the lungs to expel unwanted particles that have been inhaled. Mullein is typically used for hoarseness, coughs, bronchitis, asthma and other respiratory conditions. This wonderful herb can be enjoyed as a tea by placing 1 teaspoon into 1 cup of hot water, or in combination with other lung loving herbs in the form of a tincture.

It’s the fuzzy-looking plant (often thought of as a weed) that likes trails, hangs out in fields and is found in many areas of B.C.

The light greenish leaves and yellow flowers are hard to miss as is the unique shape of the plant.

Mullein is easy to harvest (as long as you grow it yourself or know for sure it is in an area that doesn’t (really) get sprayed) and it dries fast and well.

I take my dry leaves and mash them up so a lot will fit into a large freezer bag to use over time.

Prevention of any kind of respiratory issue seems to be a key concept these days and Mullein has been used for thousands of years to aid lung-related issues.

It’s worth doing your own research and deciding if it’s something you want to incorporate into your life.

As well, while butt tickets may become scarce again, never fear!…Though you may end up with a fuzzy ‘whoo hoo’, Mullein has even been known to be a replacement for toilet paper.

“The leaves of common mullein have been used as lamp wicks as well as toilet paper. The leaves were once placed inside of shoes to provided both warmth and softness. The dried leaves on the long stalk have been used since the time of the Romans for torches (once they had been dipped into tallow).”- livescience.com

Because it takes a bit of work, I do a big pot batch for my tea.

I start by boiling (filtered…but distilled is better) water and then steep crushed dry mullein leaves, fresh lemons, oranges and lime juice as well as the whole fruits chopped up for flavour and Vitamin C benefits (which is also known to be helpful for respiratory concerns)…like this peer-reviewed article states: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15605943/. I also add freshly chopped ginger (or food-grade ginger oil), cinnamon and elderberries (dried or fresh/frozen). You can add turmeric and pepper for added anti-inflammatory properties if wanted.

I let it all steep together for about half hour then add honey to taste when cooled down a bit.

Taking a cheese cloth or similar bag, I hand-press/filter the fuzzy parts and leaves of the Mullein out as well as the elderberry seeds and chunks of fruit.

What’s left is a fragrant, beautiful and amazing tea that can be enjoyed every day.

Night!

Our biological body has nothing to do with the Human being we can become
By: Zsolt Hermann
Tags: Connection, Eternity, Body, Evolution, Humanity

Opinion from the Internet about our biology defining us as Human beings:

“You provide a pretty weak argument with the Human DNA being almost identical with animal DNA. Actually, our bodies are quite unique relative to all other animals in the most relevant place; we are the only animals that have particular brain physiology that supports conscious thought.”

I am not sure what you consider weak when we share 99% of our DNA with other primates.

Bonobos Join Chimps as Closest Human Relatives.

Moreover, as a result of such similarity, we have been using animal body parts for organ transplants, tissue augmentation for a long time, and as a result of the similarities between human and animal physiology we can conduct successful, reliable medical, pharmacological experiments on animals so we would not need to experiment on Human beings.

When it comes to “conscious thought” we are already in a realm where hardcore scientific experimentation, drawing objective conclusions is impossible. We have assumptions about our own thought processes while we have absolutely no idea about what and how animals — like other developed primates — think.

On the other hand, unique empirical, Natural scientists — who have been studying Human nature in contrast to Nature’s system for millennia — explain to us (based on truthful, objective research — that our “Humanity” has nothing to do with our biological bodies, not even with our inherently egocentric, subjective thoughts and desires that are as blind and instinctive as any other animal’s.

In order to know what makes us Human we need to go through a lengthy, gradual educational process that can help us rise from our inherently “beastly” state to a truly Human state, independent of instincts, liberated from egocentric, subjective bias, acquiring a viewpoint that is completely outside of the “self” — sensing, understanding reality through others.

I understand that in our modern, egocentric, narcissistic society we are obsessed with our biological bodies, constantly augmenting, beautifying them, hoping to increase our longevity, and dreaming about eternity achieved through this body. I do not want to dampen people’s obsession with this, all I want to point out is that we are searching in the wrong place.

Our “Humanity”, our chance for true happiness, longevity, even eternity is found beyond, independent of the biological body — in positive, purposefully, and methodically built Human interconnections.
Burn
Tags: Storytelling, Body, Poetry, Sensation, Burning

Photo by Sumit Saharkar on Unsplash

There is this thing that happens to me, I burn.

I burn inside with a fire that does no harm, but I indeed burn.

I have no fever, I don’t sweat but I most certainly burn.

It happens spontaneously, yet I am now familiar with the sensation so I relax into it and I let it burn.

The sensation has a certain mild fizziness and it moves rapidly, yet all that speed feels compressed into tiny spaces. On the outer layers, there is no speed but radiation. My body emits this heat from my burning self and it melts itself into it, like a star surrendering to fusion.

I sink into it, it is pleasurable, it is mine when I burn.
Pathetic
Tags: Body Dysmorphia, Mental Health, Body Hate, Body

Sometimes I just start crying all of a sudden, I just want to give up, but there are so many people that I know love me so much, and it would be selfish of me. Sometimes I just want to disappear, I just want to pause time, so that I can breathe. I hate my body…

When did I start hating my body? was it when I started comparing myself to other people, was it when I started overeating? was it when I hated what I saw in the mirror? I remember it was when my parents started calling me fat, and saying that I was eating too much, it was when they would embarrass me in public and will not let me finish my food whenever we went to restaurants. It was when they would yell at me when they saw the portion of food that I was getting and tell the server to take my food back. Then everything else tagged along. I hated my body so much I did not like looking in the mirror, I hated wearing tight cloths. Then I started to gain even more weight, the more I wanted to lose weight the more weight I gained. The more my parents kept telling me that I was fat the more weight I gained. Now that I look at my past self, I realized that I actually was not big at all I was about 5'1 and weighed about 127 pounds. People tell me that I am not fat at all, and that I am just thick, I feel even more disgusted with myself, as much as I want to believe that I am beautiful it is just so hard for me to believe that I am beautiful. I hate scales, I hate stepping on scales, especially when other people are around. The last time that I stepped on a scale was at my doctor’s appointment, they told me that I weight 149 pounds if I remember correctly and I am 5'2, but that was before my first semester at college, but I probably gained more weight now. I am so sick of my body, I wish I were 80 pounds, I would be so happy. My parents really messed me up mentally, they have done so many things that have messed my head up inside and outside, but they do not know that. They have no idea, and if they did, I do not think that they would do anything about it, they would probably say they don’t remember saying such things. I remember when I had ended up passing out because I starved myself, and when I was in the hospital bed and I told them with tears running down my eyes that it was because they keep saying that I was fat, they denied everything that they ever said.

I still hate my body

I feet useless and pathetic, remember that your words carry so much weight, and that some people want to end their life because of some words that you said but you don’t even remember saying.
Is the Gut Really Like a ‘Second Brain?’

Are Stomach Bloating and Nausea Symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder?

Photo by John Bakator on Unsplash

My husband has Seasonal Affective Disorder. I’m beginning to wonder if his symptoms of bloating, gas and cramping that start in November are a symptom of the depression that is part of SAD. Some years he has more mental health symptoms and some years he has stomach issues.

This is a mystery for sure.

He started having Seasonal Affective Disorder about 6 years ago- coinciding with the year that his father passed away.

Signs and Symptoms of SAD from mayoclinic.com are:

- Feeling depressed most of the day, nearly every day

- Losing interest in activities you once enjoyed

- Having low energy

- Having problems with sleeping

- Experiencing changes in your appetite or weight

- Feeling sluggish or agitated

- Having difficulty concentrating

- Feeling hopeless, worthless or guilty

- Having frequent thoughts of death or suicide

There are also different specific symptoms for fall and winter onset SAD, and SAD that can happen in the spring and summer.

Some fall and winter specific symptoms are oversleeping, cravings for carbs, weight gain, low energy and tiredness.

Sunday walk at the cemetery by realpath

I am getting really in tune with my body. One of the parts of my life that I was completely unaware of until not long ago, is that I was completely numb to my feelings. I couldn’t feel any pains or tiredness or what my gut was telling me. And I didn’t know that I could live differently. I suppose I was lucky to reach the point where I was able to perceive a new level of understanding. Reading helps a lot, all new information moulds with the old and creates new realities. No wonder I was numb, I did everything in my power to get away from the uncomfortableness of existence. At the time when it was happening, I didn’t see it that way. I thought I was just a party girl, all my crazy adventures from a young age are just my character. But now looking back, I can see a really troubled child, starved of love and care. A sensitive soul who is affected by everything more deeply. I remember being depressed most of the time in my teenage years, but I thought that’s just how I see the world. It wasn’t ‘mental illness’ as they now call in in the West, it was a part of my identity. There is a more allowed depression in russian culture, we are openly unhappy and it’s ok because we get each other. Life is tough, it is sad — so I thought. Now that I have worked through some of that, lived in another country and had my best life for a few years, I discovered a new personality beneath the mask. I finally started seeing myself for who I really am. Layer by layer I keep discovering my details, make connections to the world outside. Every day I live in a new world, it may be the same decor but the feel changes. Always, constantly changing. My mind is the most fascinating thing I have ever seen. Mind is divine. I love it with all my heart. Mind is the heart of the matter. Mind is consciousness. Mind is… God? And by my mind being the most fascinating, I mean that the ability to be able to perceive life through my mind and be able to examine my own way of perceiving things and people and how this changes, based on events outside of myself that change how I see something, new information may change how I see something. Perception constantly changes as long as you keep moving forward. That is why we are always different too, look year after year. It is small changes that change you into a completely new person within 2 years.

The importance of meditation in our lives — changes for the better

Purification of the soul

Meditation is like taking a bath to wash your mind. You can take a shower in the morning to clean your body, and then go about your daily routine. You don’t need to shower again and again all day. In the same way, you meditate and calm your mind, and then engage in your daily activities. It is not easy to remain unaffected by everyday life, but with the regular practice of meditation, it becomes easier.

Reach your full potential through meditation

Every cell in your body has the capacity to contain infinity. The worm also eats, sleeps then wakes up and shows some activity. But it doesn’t make sense for us to live the same life. You must use all the potential that nature has given you.

The combination of knowledge, understanding, and practice makes life whole. When you grow to higher states of consciousness, you feel that you no longer lose your inner balance from the impact of various situations and troubles. You are filled with beauty and strength at the same time-a a fragile, delicate, and beautiful blooming flower that can certainly accept and accommodate a variety of life values. For the spiritual seeker in you, meditation is a way to go beyond your body and mind to experience the deeper aspects of your being.

Why is it recommended to meditate daily? During the day, there are many events of different significance and emotional color that affect our mood, well-being, and attitude. Meditation allows you to get rid of the emotional burden of the past day, restore vitality and energy. In addition, by practicing meditation for a long time, you will be able to better understand yourself, your feelings and emotions, and the motives of your actions.

Personal experience of meditation shows that this practice can also bring benefits, even if you do it from time to time. On a regular basis, it is much more effective and appropriate and is one of the best tools for developing stress resistance, maintaining emotional stability, and finding harmony with yourself.

Full-fledged meditation is impossible without proper accompaniment. Even experienced gurus claim that the background affects the productivity of meditation. Use an app that will allow you to get 100% results from your inner feelings.
One girls Heaven is another girls Hell …

It’s the little things in life, the things that most people won’t even notice that make us so insecure… We will fall, break, and ache until we can’t anymore. We try everything to make it better but nothing seems to work. Why does it have to be this way, how can we fix this. The truth is, we all are a little broken; no matter what. I don’t think we have gone a day in our life we’re we didn’t suck out stomach in and judge ourselves. Or maybe push our stomach out… One girls heaven is another girls hell. Most girls dream to be skinny, we look at those girls and see total beauty, but on the inside they wish to be like us maybe just a few pounds extra would make them jump for joy. Maybe just a few pounds less for girls like me. Just a flat stomach and a jawline. I would trade my “beauty” to be able to eat whatever i wanted without gaining a pound. Which I didn’t have any “beauty” to start with. I’m judged for having small “beauties”… We can’t catch a break… Sometimes all we need is people to take it easy on us, we go through so much and put each other through heaven and hell.

I’m used for mine. My body is looked at as a fuck boy playground. My ass is “so damn hot”, “she’s so fuckable”, “damn… she’s thiccc”. I am more than my body. When I was younger, I was the super smart, organized, funny kid. Now I’m hot. I’m no longer a person, just an object.
Our Feet Map Emotions

Wriggling around in busyness and avoiding my emotions last week I found by Friday there was a tense fog surrounding me like that haunted thundercloud scene in Ghostbusters — where the ectoplasm slimes Liberty!

It created a dissonance from my heart and wobbled my hopeful stability.

Then came the enormous ghost zapping rescue that is yoga class and a tennis ball.

I’ve done bodywork — pilates, somatic yoga and a bit of dance — throughout 2020, mainly via zoomland and I’m a bodyworker myself.

I never fail to be awed by the everyday denial I can live through in terms of buried grief, fear, and anger until it surfaces during these embodied sessions.

Attending with others works well for me because I, like so many of us, have an understandable tendency to avoid feeling challenging emotions.

However, in the fold of a supportive group I stay present more easily.

When a pocket of physical tightness reveals an uncomfortable emotion there’s nowhere to go but the mat, their faces, and me breathing through it.

Allowing the emotion — energy in motion — to move through me like water.

‘Feel the aliveness within your body — that anchors you in the Now.’ Eckhart Tolle

Often I sense ‘trapped’ emotions in people’s bodies during my massage/healing work and feel the correlation between muscular physical tension and emotional suppression strongly.

Nearly everyone has pockets of emotion and periods in their lives when an automatic fight or flight response was suppressed (maybe it wasn’t safe, possible or deemed socially appropriate) and has turned to ‘freeze’ or ‘faun’.

There’s a ton of scientific literature and ancient wisdom on the mind/body/energy confluence.

Add to this the turbulent year that is 2020 — increased viral threat to life, isolation, mental health issues and economic polarisation plus less physical exercise —and there’s an emotional tsunami brewing, preventing many from feeling the simple joy of being a living breathing human on this planet.

So what/who/where do we turn to?

For me personally I always choose embodiment practices and connecting as much as possible with Gaia Earth.

And I’m realising more than ever how this can both occur...through our feet
