When we are having traumas, survival strategies or repeating things in our life, it is our thoughts, memories, patterns and imagination we need to deal with. Past and future doesn´t exist, but we visit and revisit both of them over and over, and we have a specific response to them, and our response create our suffering.
I do understand that sometimes we face difficult things in life, which feels unfair, hard to understand, or we don’t know how to face or deal with them – other times we are filling in the blanks when our life feels unclear, hoping, fearing, imagining.
Our response to our thoughts can rule minutes, hours or long periods of our life, and can become a kind of comfort zone for us, a way of closing ourselves down to a safe space. We get so caught up in the stories, the thought patterns that we dont even see how they are ruling us. If we want to step out of them it demands some curiosity, we need to step out of our self limiting, safe boxes.
Sometimes we create thoughts in our mind, so we don’t have to deal with our emotions, for different reasons. Perhaps we need to learn how to hold ourself through emotional responses, in general holding space for ourself, offering ourself time, love and care.
Other times we have life experiences which offer us a possibility to grow, and we chose if we want to take the gift, face the situation and evolve from where we are, or we stay at the same place.
Resisting will keep you stuck – accepting will make things move and flow. And offer yourself enough time for the changes, perhaps you will need to repeat the new response for a long time, its like understanding this is what I need, then we are going back to our strategies, old responses, because it makes you feel safe – it is our old friend we have spent a lot of time with. Some times we project our patterns on other people and dont even see our own coping mechanism, we try to escape from our ourself.
Other times we are able to make the change immediately, when we see, hear and hold ourself directly. Everything is energy, and we can help the energy to move and flow by letting go of control, seeing the repeating pattern as something that is asking for your attention and help and knowing that what we are avoiding is the path to an open heart.
simple
this time of the year, warm colors, soft soil, plenty of fish, berries, reindeers, crisp air, winter is watching from a distance, welly time, filling up freezer, Mother Earth is generous, animals and people collecting in nature… people and traditions, not surrounded by this, these years, but my body remembers the season, the traditions, proudly…
you are enough
waiting, watching, connecting to a wellknown universe – you are sacred every moment in whatever you do and are, thinking it has to be in a certain way, ceremonially or a specific place, let go of that, every moment is our medicine, awaken, alive, in our heart there is nothing to do or be or…
uncertain
the uncomfortable feeling of being in-between the one I was and the one Im becoming expanding, stretching, shedding, evolving, less of the old – more of the new some days slow and silent, other days fast and loud, some something else there is no ready, just expression and allowing free your energy all of you…
