Instinct.
ℹ️ an inborn impulse or motivation to action typically performed in response to specific external stimuli
A bear prepares for migration during the winter months by increasing their food consumption.
A mother responds to her baby in distress, knowing exactly what they need.
A turtle is born in the sand and makes its way to the ocean.
We are all born with specific instincts like eating when we are hungry, sleeping when we are tired or drinking when we are thirsty.
But what happens when we can’t access our instinctual response?
What if we have to wait for our food, go without sleep or don’t have access to water?
What emotions come up?
When we don’t eat we feel “hangry”
When we don’t sleep we feel exhausted
When we are thirsty we feel distracted
When we ignore our instincts we battle these challenging emotions.
Sometimes we don’t have a choice but to ignore our instincts.
But what if we acknowledge and make peace with these challenging emotions as they come up, instead of fighting them?
We are human and feeling is part of what makes us human.
Feel the emotions as they come with love and understanding from where they originate.
Note which instincts are being ignored and why.
Our body is always giving us signs and when we truly witness our instinctual patterns we can channel this energy into power.
Hanger becomes patience, thirst becomes presence and exhaustion becomes calmness.
We can’t fight our instincts so why should we fight a battle we can’t win?
Shadows are meant to be explored.
This is what is coming up for me and after meditating on it I felt it was something I needed to share.
