How many times have you said, "I'm ok," to people who've asked how you are, Reader? Even when you're not. I come from the generation that taught us to suck it up. We had to carry on. We never talked about how we were feeling. There's a bunch of adults out there, parents and grandparents, who's brains and nervous systems don't feel safe being vulnerable. And guess what those parents and grandparents have taught the generations who've followed..? Yep, the same. For example; if a child was never held in safety to share their feelings and receive comfort, they won't know how to do that as an adult. The family dynamics will have the suck it up default. Challenges and disagreements might be swept under the carpet, and the true issues ignored. This then creates the scenario of a bunch of adults who shut down, don't work through disagreements, and then teach their kids to do the same. This then creates misunderstandings, confrontations, and misery. It results in fractured relationships between the people who apparently love each other the most. How many times have we said and heard, "Can't live with them, can't live without them!" So I know you lie when you say, "I'm fine." In fact, its your biology and physiology shutting down. It's not your fault, but if you're unhappy, dissatisfied, or feel unheard, it is your responsibility to do something different, to help you feel different.. if that's what you want of course. If you're not sure what you want, or where to start, that's where The Healing Circle can help you. In the private community we actively work through the things that hold us back, so we can be the people we want to be. We are learning to feel safe in our bodies, to stop ignoring the patterns of the past. Full membership to the community, with access to two lives calls every month, subject information worksheets, and unlimited support is on offer until next Wednesday for $18. Maybe you should come and take a look and experience the supportive vibe, Reader! Hope to see you at our meditation call next Wednesday night. Love, Ali x |
Sharing uncomplicated truths to encourage and educate women to embrace their healing power.
Why is it, Reader, that everyone is so quick to complain about what's stressing them out? We all take a chance to complain.. and yes, even me at times! "I can't believe that [beep] at work said this.." "I'm so sick of it being like this." "You don't understand me." "I feel like I'm on the merry-go-round and I want to get off." "Did anyone get the number plate of the truck that just went through me?" I could go on, but I know you get my drift. (Reply to me with your repeat gripe.) But, do you...
Last night, Reader, I watched the Jimmy Barnes documentary. Love him or hate him, as an Aussie who grew up in the 80s, it brought back so many memories of him, and Cold Chisel! For those of you outside Australia, Jimmy and his band were a huge part of our music culture. And none of us had any idea at the time what the story of his past was. During the doco, Jimmy said something that felt like a brutal truth for anyone who's been through something challenging.. “My life was a big storm, and I...
