25.01.2022 Throughout life, from childhood, from school until we die, we are taught to compare ourselves with another; yet when I compare myself with another I am destroying myself. ~Jiddu Krishnamurti



24.01.2022 Simple but not easy Refuge In Grief

24.01.2022 There are many avenues for addiction. However some more than others are socially accepted or even celebrated. Underlying them all is an unresolved wound. Support the wound to get free and taste peace and joy

21.01.2022 The Old Healer to the Soul: It's not your back that hurts, but the burden. It's not your eyes that hurt, but injustice. It's not your head that hurts, it's your thoughts. Not the throat, but what you don't express or say with anger.... Not the stomach that hurts, but what the soul does not digest. It's not the liver that hurts, it's the anger. It's not your heart that hurts, but love. And it is love itself that contains the most powerful medicine. - Author unknown



21.01.2022 Its not. Or it shouldnt be. It absolutely shouldnt be.

20.01.2022 So many courageous feelers out there @FrancisWardWeller

19.01.2022 Another difficult ask is upon us with this second wave of restrictions. Another challenge we need to met, with actual face masks and no hugs. So triggering for the lonely little inner child - the painful abandonment wound our society praised with time outs and toughen ups.... But with another wave of stillness and isolation, another opportunity presents to go within and hold them, heal like the social mammals that we are...without a mask on.

19.01.2022 We need to be the ones to teach ourselves and others, how to treat us. @sasha _tozzi

19.01.2022 Matt Licata, psychotherapist and author: Early relational experiences are encoded in our neural circuitry in the first 18 months of life. They are stored as implicit memory, inaccessible by means of conscious awareness, and form the templates through which we engage the relational world. As we have come to see, these organizing principles come surging in our intimate relationships with lovers, friends, our children as well as with the alchemical other inside us, by way ...of previously disavowed emotions, feelings, and somatic information of all kinds. Our expectations in relationship the reliability of others, our worthiness of being loved, what we can count on, our fears around being vulnerable are structured in a fragile little nervous system that is longing for safety and connection. The neural pathways are tender, open, and responsive, as we seek attuned, right brain-to-right brain resonance with those around us. We want to feel felt, to have our subjective experience held and mirrored, and for the space in which we can explore unstructured states of being. While this encoding is deeply embedded, it can be rewired. While it may feel so entrenched, it is not as solid as it appears. Even if your early environment was one of consistent empathic failure, developmental trauma, and insecure attachment, it is never too late. The wild realities of neuroplasticity and the courage of the human heart is unstoppable and an erupting force of creativity and reorganization. Through new relational experiences with a therapist, a lover, a friend, a baby; or with a star, a deer, a tree, a sunset, or with the moon, it will be revealed that love is the basis of all neural circuitry. It is the substance which forms the neurons and their synapses, and lights up the cells in your heart in a fresh moment of warmth, presence, and kindness. Each time you meet and attune to another, receive their love, return it with your presence, and stay close with the other within you, a new world is born. As long as there is breath moving in and out, you can update the narrative. You can make new meaning of your life, make a new commitment to the miracle of the here and now, and learn to flood your immediate experience with presence, warmth, and acceptance. Slowly, over time, you can embed your neural circuitry with the new pathway of holding awareness. No matter what is happening in your life, you can start right now. In this moment. There is only ever this moment. The opportunity for reorganization is always here and wired within you. Dont give up. Love will never give up on you.

03.01.2022 How timely while homeschooling in a global pandemic

03.01.2022 Growing up my mom was always concerned with how we appeared to others. Appearance was everything for her. It was normal for me to hear her commenting on people...s weight, life choices, + family gossip. As I got older, I learned many mothers spoke this way. The same way their mothers spoke to them. This is the result of a parent viewing their children as an extension of self. I was learning a clear message: the perceptions of others create your sense of self. What people think is more important than how you actually feel. Look externally to others to gain approval or validation. This is the core foundation of codependency. As an adult, in relationships, Id neglect all my needs in order to gain the love + approval I was still desperately seeking. I had little opinion. Gave little input. In one therapy session as I was getting divorced, my therapist asked what is it that YOU want. I still am floored when I think back to that moment because the true answer is: I never thought about that. I was far too busy people pleasing. Constantly having the feel bads. Constantly trying to escape my own emotions, by being what I needed to be for someone else. It took me a ton of deep work to see that I wasnt actually pleasing anyone. I was unconsciously trying to control their perception of me. I was unconsciously trying to gain approval. Always at the whim of someones thoughts of me rather than how I actually felt. Ive done years of deep healing work + on my spiritual journey setting boundaries as been so important and wildly uncomfortable. When I first started saying no (and sometimes without lengthy excuses-GASP!) I actually felt like I was dying. Id cringe. The fear of what the other person thought felt crippling. I didnt understand I was entitled to my own limits + didnt need to perform for love. But with practice, comes confidence. So much of my fear lived within my own mind, my own ego. Yes, I disappointed many people. And many other people understood + even valued my boundaries. Freedom comes from self connection #selfhealers

02.01.2022 Emotional wounds may reside in the body but so does joy, creativity, peace, fun... @dawn_serra It's not the big, grand plans that make up our lives. It's the micro moments of our hours and our days that ultimately add up to what our life means and how it feels.... . So often when we're overwhelmed, in pain, struggling, anxious, depressed, and rushing, pleasure feels far away. Like a thing you'll get to when...... . But finding micro moments of pleasure throughout our days is where the magic lives. . It's in that bright pink color of a flower in someone's garden as you're on your way to the store. . It's in that first bite of food when you let the flavors and textures and colors come alive in your mouth. . Or that giggle from a loved one as you walk through the room. . Or those few seconds you stopped and felt a soft breeze on your face. . It can be so tempting to make our pleasure a nice-to-have, something to be earned when all the other things are done. But we live in a world where there will always be more to do (because dominant culture benefits from us staying numb, overwhelmed, and checked out). . And your pleasure matters. It matters deeply because it's disruptive. It's counter-cultural, especially if you live in a body that experiences ongoing trauma and oppression. . What would help you open to those micro moments of pleasure as they happen countless times per day? What if they could exist alongside the pain, the stress, the overwhelm, the confusion? Not in competition, but simply true, too? . Your pleasure matters. Your body matters. You deserve to rest, to eat food you love, to feel supported. . #YourPleasureMatters #PleasureActivism #MentalHealth #HealingJustice #DisruptDominantSystems #HealingPractice .
