Substack has been a fun outlet for me lately…this article is a little capture of something I’ve been mulling over and experiencing throughout the past few years. I’d love for you to read it.

When we feel out of it, it’s a common reflex to escape that feeling or sensation.

When we meet parts of ourselves (like freeze, sadness, anger, boredom, etc.) with

presence

permisison

compassion

and curiosity

It significantly reduces the amount of conflict we feel within.

Because if we’re consistently pushing uncomfortable things away, we’re showing ourselves that we’re not capable to move through it

….and that in itself becomes the threat.

But when we make space to witness these feelings or body sensations, what was once conflict becomes collaboration and an opportunity to find the support we’ve been longing for.

I think of building capacity as dipping your toes in little by little.

Can I sit in silence for a moment longer?

Can I pause a moment before reacting?

Can I notice that I’m in fight or flight and slow down my pace? (unless I’m truly in a life threatening situation)

Consistently putting in reps of slowing down, taking safety in, and cultivating practices to widen your window of capacity and connectedness is the work of rewiring the nervous system.

I help clients learn this in a very practical way, personal way 🤍 reach out if you’re interested in guided support and psycho education.

Part of my role is teaching people how to be childlike again 🙃 your 5 senses are powerful and you can consciously lean into them for a deeper sense of presence and safety.

Since learning quite a bit about the body and nervous system, a quest(ion) I’m always on is to learn how to embody truth. I can know it in my mind, and that is still worth a lot, but to bring awareness to my spirit and my physical body helps the truth & beliefs land deeper. I often think - God gave me a body for a reason, maybe instead of bypassing it, I can welcome it to receive goodness, safety, and truth as well.

Breath prayer is a simple way of slowing down and intentionally marrying the word with the body. Bringing awareness to this has tremendously deepened my faith.

Cues you might notice in your body connected to safety: warmth, expansion, softening, buzzing, heart rate slowing, digestion working along, yawning, swallowing, relaxed eye gaze, jaw unclenched, hands open, spontaneous movement, comfort with stillness

What are your routine safety cues? Things that help anchor you? ❣️

There will never be a season quite like this one again - so grateful it’s a chapter of our lives.

The three years were packed with lessons, memories, struggles, hopes, dreams fulfilled and so much presence.

I had the privilege of moving slowly which was both terrifying and deeply freeing. I often reflected that I had low patience but after this season, I can say I have much more.

I feel more “here” than I’ve ever been - and it’s so good to be here. To take deep breaths, to allow myself to take up space, to express, and contribute my thoughts, feelings & presence to the world. I connected with little me again - whimsy, strong, contemplative, free. It’s been so sacred to recover creativity and autonomy.

I leaned into trust a lot. Uncertainty is super hard, but it’s where you find out who your trust is in and why. In the quiet, in the lack of forward movement (externally), God was near. Comforting, soothing, pruning, asking, prompting, and continually inviting us to rest with him in every way.

Bryan and I grew a lot in healthy connection. I laugh (and cringe a little) looking back at where we were when we arrived. Having the time and space to do deep relational work together was incredible. We’ll always be growing, but proud of the ground we took in these years especially. It felt like we got recalibrated.

I was driving around a couple weeks ago and decided to explore some back roads. I found out where places connected and it was a fun ah-ha moment. That’s kind of what this season has been - back road moments to revelation and deepened understanding. Trusting and getting curious about the turns and being present in the suspension and unknowns.

The next roads lead us back to NY, excited to be close to family again & lots of lush green beauty. ♥️

I’m someone who struggled with judging anger and felt shame for feeling it. It felt irrational, too big, messy, hurtful, and I felt devastated by the collateral damage of it. But my response to this emotion was actually more about how anger had been expressed (by myself or others), not about the anger itself.

Anger is a helpful signal emotion- it lets us know where we could use a boundary. It can hold up a mirror to us about an area we may need some healing in. In life threatening moments, it can save us. Anger is not bad, and what we do with it can be harmful, or it can be healthy and healing.

If you struggle with feeling the emotion of anger, here’s some journal prompts:

What was my main experience in childhood with the emotion of anger? How did I respond to it as a kid? (p.s. - bring in lots of compassion for this reflection!)

Do I believe anger is bad? Why?

When have I seen someone (in real life or in a movie/book) express healthy anger? How did they express it?

-What’s an area I notice I have more anger, and how can I support myself to move through it? (instead of bottle it, judge it, or project it onto others)
