*Long Post!*
Changing isn’t always easy. It can be heavily influenced by our attachments to existing things like people, places, our identity, addictions, pain and or distractions we use to possibly disconnect from feeling..
Changing can be scary because on many levels it means becoming new again, becoming a new identity and being vulnerable enough to step into something with trust.. that you will be ok, you will be safe.
Ultimately this often comes down to our relationship with ourselves. Can we trust ourself to show up when we feel vulnerable, to feel stable & strong within our centre - so we can feel whole, even if external references fall away…
In yogic practice we sit with this concept often, to meditate on our inner relationship, especially with an open expanded self- that connects with all, with universal energy. It allows us to gradually drop our attachments to roles, masks and external identities. So we can feel safe with who we are, right now.
Ooof!! Big statements huh..? Yes. It takes work. It takes practice, but it does work.
As I reflect on the last year of becoming a parent & undertaking the huge task of releasing my old identity & giving myself over to this new way. It hasn’t been easy, at all. But, my meditation and reflection practice has kept me held to the knowledge that I am safe with a moving landscape. I am in tune with my centre. I have my practice to thank for that.
If you’d like to delve into this journey with me, or if you’ve felt shaken by change lately or in the past, I invite you to the Smooth Transitions Workshop on Sat 19th. Let’s practice easing discomfort around change & create some space in our lives for peace.
