As module 1 of the VITA coaching certification closes, I am sitting in reflection and integration.
Asking myself, what did I learn, how do I feel, and what has come to the surface.
What parts of me need nurturing?
Because this week stirred the layers of vulnerability.
I am beginning to build trust with myself.
Understanding myself on a deeper level.
Meeting the truth of who I am.
One message has repeated itself again and again over these past few weeks.
I need to move as slowly as the most resistant parts of myself.
Move as slowly as the slowest parts of my nervous system.
Slow.
Structured.
Stabilising.
Intimate.
Soft.
Vulnerable.
Safety.
This is the pace required as I begin working with my protective layers.
Exploring stress cycles, automatic responses, perceived threats, nervous system reactions and bodily responses.
Witnessing the physiological and neurological responses that live in the body when stress is present.
Before starting this journey, I made a vow to myself.
To show up no matter how I was feeling.
This week, I have honoured that vow.
Even while feeling like absolute s**t.
Snot and phlegm everywhere.
Unable to hear out of my left ear.
Struggling to breathe.
Speech impacted.
Trying everything possible to avoid antibiotics.
Old school remedies, rest, water etc.
Until my body made it clear that I needed help.
An ear infection was confirmed yesterday.
It's been a rough week.
And still, I showed up.
I am deeply proud of myself for that.
Module 1 was centred on self-love.
And the resistance has shown itself physically.
Across my chest.
My heart.
My lungs.
My hearing.
My ears.
My feminine side.
My protective layers.
You can't make that s**t up, in the final few months of the year of the snake!
Here for it all.
Loving you Fearlessly,
