Resilient Soul Counselling

What we desire is already within us. For transformation to happen, we need to believe that it starts with us.

Remember that you are the light at the beginning, the middle and the end 🌟

We repeat what we don’t repair.

Why do we do this?

🌓 It’s familiar. We may know that it is unhealthy but we repeat these behaviours because it is familiar and we know what to expect, especially in stressful situations. It makes us feel in control of our environment.

🌓 We learned these behaviours as children. Our beliefs, values and coping skills get entrenched in us in childhood because we are dependent on our caregivers and need them for our survival.

🌓We unconsciously think we deserve to suffer. Because we internalise shame and blame our ourselves, our self-worth gets eroded and as a result we believe we deserve emotional pain and suffering.

The truth is we will continue repeating unhealthy patterns unless we heal from the underlying trauma.

The trauma is not our fault but healing is our responsibility.

No one can rescue you. What you seek externally is within you.
You are your lifeboat.
You are your home.

Avoidance is an attempt to prevent uncomfortable feelings such as fear, shame, anger or sadness.

This avoidance or need to escape can lead to physical and emotional pain and can manifest as:

✨Physical tension and pain in the body
✨Digestive problems
✨Dissociation
✨Addiction
✨Anxiety and depression
✨Relationship conflict


Our attempt to prevent feelings of distress does not erase the distress, it only multiplies it.

And it delays the healing process.

My dear ones, it’s ok to feel your feelings. Remember feeling is healing🧡

Contact me if you would like to explore these feelings in a safe, non-judgemental and compassionate space.

May we all have the courage to face our uncomfortable feelings and use them as an opportunity to grow and let light in🌅

Sending love and duas to all of you.
May this month bring you the peace and healing that you so deserve.

ℹ️🌿ARE YOU THE IDENTIFIED PATIENT IN YOUR FAMILY-OF-ORIGIN?

Today's post explores what it means to be an identified patient, why thus happens and how to take care of yourself.

Say with me….

It is safe to change.
It is safe to heal.

A reminder for all of us. I personally struggle with this and only recently understood the impact this has on my life.

It seems simple but if you've been conditioned and modelled to take responsibility for everything and everyone else, it's not that easy to live by.

Go easy and gently 🌅

With love

Ask for it, don’t hold back and believe it will happen.
Have a blessed Friday🌝

This is such an impactful quote.🤍
Feeling safe is the first step in the healing process for us as individuals and as a community.

Imagine what kind of environment we can create if we approach every encounter or interaction with a mindset of safety and acceptance.

Never underestimate the positive impact you have on others, even just one person because this creates a ripple effect which will spread and this is what the world needs more of.

We all need to make each other feel safer. We are all in this together.
Let's do this 💪

Mindfulness practices work by training the brain to pay attention and regulate emotion.

This physically changes structures in our brain creating new neural pathways associated with positive feelings. Then, as we continue to practice, we reinforce these pathways and make it easier to return to those emotions even when we are not engaging in practices.

Mindfulness also stops our thoughts and emotions from controlling us and therefore helps us live more conscious lives.

Research has proven that there are numerous benefits to mindfulness.

🍃Reduces anxiety and stress
🍃Greater emotional intelligence
🍃Helps you become more resilient
🍃Improves memory and concentration
🍃Leads to self-compassion and compassion for others
🍃Pain relief
🍃Improves sleep
🍃Emotional regulation
🍃More receptive to feeling joy and happiness

Small and big traumas can make us feel disconnected to ourselves. We lose our sense of self-trust and look to external sources for strength, courage or love not knowing that everything we seek is already within us.

What would you say to someone you love if they messed up, had a tough day or faced a challenge? We would probably offer them words of comfort or encouragement, but would we do the same for ourselves? Or would we be overly critical, harsh and un-forgiving?

Changing the way we talk to ourselves has a huge impact on our relationship with ourselves. Kind and gentle self-talk fosters love and space to grow, a space that is safe enough to make mistakes. We can’t expect others or our environment to create that space for us, we need to create it for ourselves. It all starts within🌸

Join myself and at our Self-nurture in Nature Sisterhood Circle as we go on a journey of nurturing and learning to love ourselves. ☘🌳💚

Have a beautiful week🌟

Healing happens slowly and deeply if we are consistently do the work. It does not happen in an eventful way, or in a moment of realisation, like a lightning bolt⚡

Not like this:
"Aah now it get it'
'I'm over it"
"I'm healed"

But more like this
"Aah my understanding grows deeper and deeper over time"
"I'm constantly growing"
'I'm changing positively"

Really excited about this one. Watch this space 🌳🐞🌿🦋

You are not your thoughts and behaviour. You are the observer of your thoughts and behaviour. Your power lies in the ability to observe not react. 🤍☘️

When children experience trauma by their caregivers, they are not allowed to express how hurt they feel. These feelings such as anger, rejection and abandonment gets repressed and instead of directing their anger towards their parents who are supposed to be their protectors but who are in fact the ones hurting them, they direct the anger towards themselves.

In short, it is incredibly hard for a child to blame their parents when they need them for their survival, so they blame themselves instead.

If this self-blame stays unresolved it can develop into emotional, behavioural and interpersonal challenges into adolescence and adulthood.

Who else can relate to this, I know I can? 🤍

Just a reminder. Happy Friday🦋

You would love you if you could see you🤍🍀
