From another group and seemed to fit with Kambo, the warrior medicine 💚
*Morning Words*
I know the pain can be unbearable. It can feel like being tied within a mist of knots with no way out through the darkness.
Our bodies have been made to feel deeply unsafe.
The desire to leave, escape or die is our body deeply wanting relief from the pain.
Offering tenderness and compassion to the pain within, and guiding the nervous system back to safety is courageous and bold, because it's a path that so many of us have never known to walk.
Healthy relationships act like shepherds for many, and many others were never offered such a hand.
Now as adults, our work is that of extending a loving hand of calm understanding, as we tell our bodies "I know it doesn't feel safe but I am here".
In this way we extend the message of source and love and God within ourselves.
To offer love to the parts that hurt is sometimes harder than wanting to flee.
Because to love someone or something we have to meet them where they're at.
Not wish to change them or hate them, but sit by their side in love and presence and have them know that we are here.
Much like a friend never wants to be fixed, the residue of trauma begins to hiss when feeling rejected.
In rejection being such a familiar feeling, we have learned to reject ourselves.
To be a warrior is to say hello to the pain. To learn what it takes to be by its side with love and understanding.
A warrior goes through great pain to become strong. A warrior faces death, cuts, wounds and enemies and says " Yes, you may wish to defeat me but I have learnt the art of perseverance"
A warrior looks after their body, and tends to their scars.
A true warrior does not love to fight, but fights to love.
We are all true warriors here.
