Last week at Rise Circle, we ended up sitting with the question:
What parts of us are we abandoning?
And it became really clear, really quickly, that inside all of us there are so many different parts. Different ages. Different energies. Different needs.
It was an interesting circle because everyone arrived in very different states. Usually there’s a strong collective theme in the room, but this time everyone came carrying something completely different.
And actually, it reminded me how often different parts of us show up depending on the space we’re in, and how often certain parts get pushed aside or abandoned because they don’t feel welcome, heard, or safe to exist.
So we slowed right down.
We came back into our bodies.
Into the heart.
Into the womb.
And we listened.
Which part of you wants to be heard right now?
Which part hasn’t been getting any airtime?
Which part of you feels abandoned?
It was really powerful to notice how often the need we had in that moment connected directly to the younger part of us that felt unseen.
And from there, we could begin to ask:
what would it look like for this part of me to have its needs met?
It was a small circle, but a mighty one.
