Are we strong enough to Forgive?

June 30, 2018June 30, 20181 Comment

Our Warrior reminds us that strength lies in facing our darkness. Causing someone else pain does not heal our own. Healing only happens when we sit with our wounds.

Women looking for an effective way of relating to and communicating with the men/man in your life... you’ll want to tune in to this and the other 10 episodes of the Trusting Your Men Again series hosted by @nadiamunla. . I listened to this episode 3 times when it first came out and I still need to study it for real-life practice it is that good. . Deets to access below. ・・・ ** IF YOU HAVEN’T HAD A CHANCE TO WATCH TRuSTING OUR MEN AGAIN, it’s your lucky day! ** . We’ve decided to rerun the limited series for another 11 days! . Today’s rerun is Joshua Hathaway on No BS Communication (@ordinary_awakening ) . We talked about everything from restorative justice to 5 distinct styles of no BS communication. I think now more than ever the tools of nonviolent communication must be brought in full force to help us with these difficult conversations. What touched me the most about our conversation with Joshua was his fierce devotion to the feminine's expression while still deeply empathizing with the masculine experience. .

I would love to know!* . . . . . #toxicmasculinity #healthymasculinity #metoo #metoomovement #coaching #communication #nonviolentcommunication #nobscommunication #embodiment #menscoach #menscoaching #relationshipcoaching #relationshipgoals #restorativejustice

ON FIGURING IT OUT I overheard the most beautiful conversation today. One friend supporting another as they were figuring life out. “You gotta put your own oxygen mask on first. Do what makes you happy. The way to be the best parent to your kid is to make sure you’re taking care of yourself.” The care and support was flowing, as was the gratitude in return. The best part was, it was flowing between two men. I was contemplating joining in their conversation and felt it was best to leave it alone. They got this. I’ll pass on to you though what my heart was feeling... Sometimes you don’t have to figure it out. Believe me, I want the answers for tomorrow, today, too. But usually they don’t come until tomorrow IS today. The amount of time and energy I waste trying to ‘figure it out’ is immense. This past week I’ve been in a situation of my own wanting answers, and have caught myself drifting into the past and the future with a furrowed frown on my face. If you do this too, just remember, the answers arrive in the present. Come back to center in each moment. Let the answers reveal themselves to you instead of going out and finding them. It’s hard at first, but gets easier with practice. I remember this each time I dance at Embody and other free-form classes. I don’t know exactly how my body is going to move through the playlist, but I know at some point the music will end and the dance will be over. I will get there. The most freeing, life-giving dances happen when I fully surrender to each moment. Tune in to what my body is feeling and where it and my soul wants to take me. I am led through a beautiful unfolding that I couldn’t have figured out ahead of time. So the next time you think you have to ‘figure it out’, know that I get how hard and overwhelming that can feel. And perhaps try something different. Put some music on, and let your body move through a practice of Trust. You’ll get ‘there’ in the end. ———— Get a free Embody-at-home playlist to create your own practice of Trust through the link in my bio. ———— Embody and practice trusting in person with me in Boise or NYC.

“Sobriety isn’t the goal. Connection is.” So good. And note that drug doesn’t have to be a narcotic. Whatever the stop gap for pain, loneliness, and trauma is also a drug. Food, sex, gambling, alcohol, codependent relational patterns, oh and social media ... Fixing the symptom doesn’t work until you address the heart. #Repost @evolvingman with @get_repost ・・・ We used to think that drugs caused addiction. But we now know that isn’t true. The drug war is predicated on the assumption that drugs are the problem - so we made them illegal and tried to keep people from using them. That didn’t work. Drug use is at an all-time high (no pun intended), drug deaths are numerous, and we’ve got millions of people addicted to legal prescription drugs. Drugs are not the problem. The problem is the pain, loneliness, and trauma our people are suffering from, which leads them to anesthetize and escape. When scientists in the 80’s observed rats in cages getting addicted to drugs, they thought it was the drugs causing the addiction. Long after that became the agreed public understanding, Bruce Alexander discovered that it was actually the cage that caused the addiction. (Look up: Rat Park) Disconnection and loss of meaning is what causes addiction, and yet we lock our addicts in cages. This has to stop. We need to understand what is important: treating people’s pain and source of disconnection from themselves and their communities. . ⬡ Watch Johann Hari’s TED Talk. ⬡ Read Gabor Mate. ⬡ Listen to The JRE Podcast - episode#1250. Taking drugs away from addicts without providing treatment is abusive. Sobriety isn’t the goal. It’s connection. #addiction #addictiontreatment #sobriety #connection #healingtrauma #evolvingman #johannhari #gabormate

In case you need a similar reminder...

Now more than ever I am feeling the gratitude for EMBODY, a practice that has guided me to trust my intuition, hold my boundaries, and love my body through the process of re-regulating my nervous system through situations that would normally spin me into freeze-mode and then people-pleasing to keep everyone else appeased. . EMBODY is the most fun way I’ve come across that loves up your body, grows trust in your intuition, and gives you confidence to hold your loving boundaries. . Reclaiming your Pleasure means you can discern between what does and doesn’t feel good in your body, so you can start to trust your Yes and No. . Reclaiming your Power means you stick to your guns the first time you step out of people-pleasing and codependent relational patterns. . Reclaiming your Play means you don’t have to spiral into a black hole when shit hits the fan. You ride the wave knowing you’re still in the middle of the story. . This is the medicine I wish I had 10, 20, years ago. . Now it’s here. Don’t wait. . Boise @yogatreeofboise Saturday April 20. . Nashville @nupoweryogabarre Friday April 26. . NYC @ Moving Body Resources Sunday April 28. . Half-day workshops so you walk away with a new version of you to navigate life with. . Groups size capped at 10. . Tix through link in bio.
