How much of you is busy keeping you safe?
Trying to make sure everybody and everything will be okay.
Preparing for what might go wrong.
Trying to keep the peace.
Trying not to get hurt.
Anticipating.
Watching.
Bracing.
Sometimes we have very good reasons for learning to live this way.
Protection is intelligent.
It helped us survive, adapt, belong, keep going.
But what happens when the alarm never really turns off?
When so much of us is watching for what might happen
that it becomes harder to perceive what is actually happening…
Here. Now. With what IS.
We can become so busy protecting ourselves from Life
that we have less of ourselves available to LIVE it.
And strangely,
all that trying to make ourselves safe
can sometimes make us less safe.
When there’s too much noise,
it’s harder to hear the actual signal…
to perceive and respond appropriately
to what is currently here.
.
So our invitation isn’t:
Just relax.
Stop worrying.
Stop being afraid.
(Good luck with that ; )
Our invitation is
more tender, more realistic:
Dear Friends,
Do we still need so much of ourselves assigned to guard duty, today?
What might happen if, little by little, we began cultivating Safety within?
Not overriding our body’s wisdom.
Not pretending the world is perfectly safe.
Not dropping appropriate boundaries or protection.
Rather: deeply opening-to and practicing Safety as a living reality within.
Because ultimately…
Safety isn’t the point. LIFE is.
We’re cultivating Safety within,
so more of ourselves, our attention & energy can become available to:
rest.
perceive.
emerge.
choose.
respond.
act.
play.
connect.
create.
become.
LIVE. More Abundantly.

This Thursday in Soul GYM,
we’ll begin with the foundations of HOME:
Cultivating Safety from INside-OUT
Come exactly as you are,
and open to a new way of being, within.
No need to have your act together.
No need to make yourself calm, before we even start 😉
We’ll meet what is here,
open to the Blessing of Safety.
Practice making a little more room
for this more supported way of being to take root.
… One small soul step at a time.
Sow Soul Safety. Reap more LIFE.
Thursday, 6:30–8:00pm — with Wendy
&/or
Sunday, 1:30–3:00pm — with Amber
