Alicia Barmon Mother :: mentor :: WEAVER OF INTERBEING Liberation is in the compassionate space between our selves and our conditioning. In that space we can see that nothing is fixed, that everything is connected and that the healing is relational.It’s not that we suffer. It’s how we hold it...with the weath...

Equanimity, for me, is a resting into neutral, neutral in the way of the pacifist, articulating themselves with a gravity that softens horizons.

Equanimity roots me into emptiness as I sit on the precipice of my own skin inhabiting the cilia in my lungs and the rim of my pores at the same time.

Equanimity is a straddling of worlds or maybe through them...weaving them into the fabric of the ocean between us, each wave an invitation to come back to the midline through micromovements and breath.

Equanimity is a practice of opening the bubbling spring at the sole of the foot and having a conversation with my wider body. Soul to sole.

It’s a soft paddle in the center of the lake in my heart. Nowhere to go. Already here.

Paddle.
Paddle
Breathe.

What if the revolution is dropping out of the callous rigidity of capitalist linearity into a rhythm born of breathing sangha - a confluence of voices and presence so deep it births a singularity- an unrepeatable uniqueness, alive in its lacework of bird song and breath, the base note of bullfrogs and yellow of daffodils latticing through Om shanti Om - its uniqueness breathing life into the ordinary reminding us that the revolution is only right here in this very moment, this woven breath, a rip in the space time continuum, a worm hole back home to the slowness that only holiness knows.

Sensate focused breathwork for couples uses this phenomena to create safety and practice pleasure and connection.

"If we are brave enough to listen, our children tell us exactly what they need. And it’s simple.

They need us. They need connection. They need contact. They need security."

Nighttime parenting isn’t a set of sleep strategies, it’s a relationship - Raised Good Don't let our sleep training culture sabotage your relationship with your child. Nighttime parenting is about so much more than sleep, here's why.

So grateful for those of you who are not willing to pass on the trauma. It’s a HUGE project.

And, if it sneaks in and grips you…

take some time to connect to the pain it touched and the younger part that holds the injury. Bless this part with a tender breath and let them know that they are no longer alone with the pain. ♥️

Inhale, I’ve got you little one.
Exhale, I’m with you now.

Inhale, it’s okay to feel scared.
Exhale, breathe out the fear.

And, repeat until the pain becomes bearable again.

Thank you to the conscious parents. You are changing the world.

Responding to our inner child with care is the renegotiation. Responding with care is the healing.

The science of attachment research (not the same thing as attachment parenting) points to responsive care as the key ingredient to building strong relationships. This means when a baby cries, we try to soothe and help them, while trying to figure out what they need. We can't be perfect at this, because it's a learning process! That’s okay, & how we form an attachment❣️

This is the gift that changed the world.

I want to be real.

I want to travel. I want to laugh. I want to live and love and be happy. I want to spend time with my favourite human beings. I want to dance and dance and dance. I want to encounter strangers as if they are friends I do not know yet. I want to see people like they really are. I want deep talk. I want depth. I want to swim through the dark waters in fearlessness. I want to let go of the anger, fear, and hatred that's still remaining in my heart. I want to have a pure soul, to speak only words of truth, and to live that truth in everything I think and feel and do. I want to show the people I love that I love them and oh, how I love them they ought to know. I want to show my own inner self. I want the world to see who I am. I want to show the colours, all the colours of my soul and my heart that got rid of all the blackness of the past. I want to be heartfelt emotion, and vulnerability, and strength. I want to be fearlessness. I want to be a rainbow. I want to be a golden queen. I want to be the maze you never ever want to leave.
A fairy. A goddess. A woman.
I want to be real.

Be gentle, go easy, get support.

Everything takes time.

Words matter.

Sesnsate focused breathwork to build safety and coherence through pleasure and connection.

A conversation oriented around non-verbal attachment needs.

A place to practice slowness; pleasure without performance and arousal without demand.

Guided breathwork practices centered on sensual touch experiences and tender attunement to the needs that arise.

Feeling/Needs focused parenting IS changing the world.

Breathing with you.

"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.

They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love."
