In order to heal from trauma, we must first acknowledge and validate our own pain.
Peter Levine

Very good article!!

Why Trauma Survivors Shouldn’t Think They Are ‘Lazy’ "Let's expose that lie, shall we?"

“Grandma, how do you cope with pain?”

“With your hands, honey.
If you do it with your mind instead of relieving the pain, it toughens even harder.”

“With your hands grandma?”

“Yes, our hands are the antennae of our soul.
If you move them; knitting, cooking, painting, playing or sinking them into the ground, you send care signs to the deepest part of you and your soul lights up because you’re paying attention to it.
Then signs of pain will no longer be necessary.”

“Hands are really that important?”

“Yes my daughter.
Think of babies: they start to know the world through the touch of their hands.
If you look at the hands of old people, they tell you more about their life then any body part.
Everything that is done by hand is said to be done with the heart.
Because it’s really like this: hands and heart are connected.
Masseurs know well: when they touch someone with their hands, they create a deep connection.
It is precisely from this connection that healing comes. Think of lovers: when they touch their hands, they make love in a more sublime way.”

“My hands grandma.... how long I haven’t used them like this!”

“Move them, my love.
Begin to create with them and everything within you will begin to move.
The pain will not pass away.
And instead what you do with them will become the most beautiful masterpiece and it won’t hurt anymore.
Because you have been able to transform its essence.”

Sometimes walking away is grace towards self.

it's supposed to be hard "It is imperative to rise to the level of adult and be the expert on your own life...We each have to face struggles, figure out the answers, apply them and learn from mistakes and successes. It slows us down to...

When I asked tough questions, I was told I was being rebellious. (In fact, one spiritual leader told me that my "rebellion" was "witchcraft.") When I chose path ways that differed from the rest of the pack, I was told that I was being too independent. When I said no, I was told that I was being selfish. All of this gaslighting led me to stop believing that a deep, trustworthy, divine wisdom lies within me. So I stopped reaching out for it and lost touch with it. It's taken years to reconnect with my wisdom and reconnecting is hard work! In order to deepen my connection, I must choose it over distractions/addictions (sugar, shopping, Netflix, etc.), fiercely protect it with my schedule, and boundary my relationships with people who do not affirm that divine wisdom lies within me. It's work but so, so worth it!

It’s true.

Stay radical. Love your body.

“Women are afraid of the intensity of feeling that may surface as their eyes are opened to the wider reality of a woman’s life. A woman’s intensity makes everyone uncomfortable, including herself. We were taught to be nice, not angry, even when our own lives and sanity are at stake.”
– Patricia Lynn Reilly, Be Full of Yourself

Arte de la Jessica Gonzales

"Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them." - Eckhart Tolle

“Breathe,” said the wind.

How can I breathe at a time like this,
When the air is full of the smoke
Of burning tires, burning lives?

Just breathe, the wind insisted.

Easy for you to say, if the weight of
Injustice is not wrapped around our throat, cutting off all air.

I need you to breathe.
I need you to breathe.

Don’t tell me to be calm
When there are so many reason
To be angry, so much cause for despair?

I don’t say to be calm, said the wind.
I said to breathe.
We’re going to need a lot of air
To make this hurricane together.” -- Lynn Unger

Stay Radical - Now more than ever!

I love the blunt reality of these words. It takes practice to get to this space within. and it takes even more practice staying in this space. But it can be done. All we have is right now. Now is our power.

How do we remain open to unconditional love (sustaining love) when love seems to bring pain?

Do you remember Slip-n-slides? The thrill of the ride and the pain of the bumps?

The openness itself is unconditional love - the willingness to feel pain and joy.

To be open is to be free. To be free is to be in one’s truth. The truth will set you free.

Resilience - one of my favorite words!!! But, so overused and misunderstood. This article helps to anchor the meaning and the feeling of that word. Thank you, Rina!!!

Resilience — We know what it is, but do we understand how to ‘be’ it? A place where words matter
