Wisdom Teaching: Safety & Support
Hello Fellow Soul✨,
🩷Safety and support. These two seem to go hand and hand. If we feel safe, we feel supported and if supported, we feel safe. A sense of safety is what gives us permission to relax, to breathe, to be.
🕊️When we don’t feel safe we guard, we tense, we hold back, we pretend, and we don’t fully express ourselves, because we feel at threat.
🩷What exactly is safety and how does one experience more of it? Safety is a felt sense that all is well. That no matter what is or isn’t happening, you are ok. There is an undisturbable stability in safety.
🕊️To some degree we have all experienced feeling not safe. We have all felt some types of physical, emotional or mental threats from self or others.
🩷It seems as though one of the prime challenges of being human is navigating uncertainty. We simply just don’t know what is going to happen next. Then, put on top of that, having lots of unpleasant experiences, and it sets us up to feel like we can never take a full breath because something bad might happen if we do. Relaxing feels unsafe. Being tense feels safer.
🕊️We find ourselves in the conundrum of wanting to relax and not wanting to relax at the same time. In order to transmute and alchemize the painful experiences we’ve experienced, we must find a way for the breath of our awareness to get inside of them. Without that we simply experience life through the lens of the tension pattern that has been created to protect us from feeling.
🤍Thanks for listening!
