The benefits of awe on our mind-body health

"The discoveries of how awe shifts physiology, the sense of self, orientations to others, and the search for meaning point to precise process-like studies for understanding how sublime realms, from nature to music, can benefit the mind and body."

🇫🇷 Les bienfaits de l’émerveillement sur notre santé corps-esprit

"Les découvertes sur la façon dont l’awe décale la physiologie, le sens de soi, les orientations vers les autres et la recherche de sens indiquent des études précises comme un processus pour comprendre comment les royaumes sublimes, de la nature à la musique, peuvent bénéficier à l’esprit et au corps."

Some of us can struggle with excitement, joy, good things, surprises because they are unfamiliar and that can feel a bit scary.

These people may go into a fear-response and shut down or try to control every element so that it feels more safe for them, or reject the experience/ feeling altogether.

It doesn't mean they don't want or need joy - quite the contrary, it just doesn't come so easily to people who have had very serious lives/ roles.

Je ne te sauverai pas, car tu n’es pas impuissant.
Je ne vais pas te réparer, car tu n’es pas brisé.
Je ne te guérirai pas, car je te vois, dans ta plénitude.
Je marcherai avec toi à travers l’obscurité comme tu te souviens de ta lumière.

Learning about conflict resolution and 'Non-violent Communication' (Rosenberg) are such important tools if you grew up in an environment where there was no accountability or repair.

The therapy space and relationship can be a safe place to try these out, through role-play or experience.

We are never completely stuck, as much as it might feel like that. We can always grow, move and change, starting today.

This is a great exercise to reflect and act upon for the very first time or as an episodic reminder ⬇️

Boundaries are a journey:

💚 Allow yourself successes and mistakes as you practice setting them with yourself and others

💚 Be curious about your boundaries to find out what/ where/ why they are

💚 Try to understand the beliefs/ obstacles around boundaries - What am I afraid will happen if I say no/ assert myself/ let someone in?

💚 Are my boundaries healthy? Do I let others walk all over me? Are they actually thick walls, to protect me from others?

If you are curious about your personal boundaries/ would like to work on drawing them get in touch to arrange a session: hello@rachaelbaxter.com

💚 You matter, take good care of yourself
