The shock when things change.
The freeze when emotions come.
The shame that keeps you quiet…
It doesn’t have to stay this way.

Today I wanted to share a special opportunity to heal through profound online courses created by my friend .y.t , with which I am honored to be an affiliate. ♥️ Marina is a beautiful gatherer, and I was drawn to her work and the communities she creates, as she invites us to go deeper, with greater compassion, and brave honesty. I had also joined her beautiful app, SomaShare, a couple of years ago!

The Journey is a trauma-informed somatic healing bundle for sensitive humans designed to support nervous system healing, emotional regulation, and the embodiment of your most authentic self.

The courses include limited-time bonuses to deepen your experience:
🌱1-month free access to Marina’s HeartSpace somatic membership (July 8-August 8)
🌱A private group space for support & sharing
🌱A 90-min live call with Marina on August 8
🌱A 21-day guided somatic journal
🌱The Trigger Toolkit - a collection of regulating tools

This is a rare chance to be held in a truly nourishing container for healing ~ the link is in my bio 💖

Motherhood:
When we reckon with what’s come before us
to meet what’s to come
with more honesty, clarity, and love.

We are given an opportunity to
relieve the ancestral burdens
and to invite in the ancestral gifts.

May this Mother’s Day
honor what has come before you,
what is now, and what is to come.
May you be held with compassion and grace
through it all.♥️

We can hold both, as transracial, transnational, transcultural adoptees: the very lived reality that we were raised in one culture and environment AND reach for the one we lost. ♥️

For those who have experienced a traumatizing severance of attachment, or loss of secure attachment, here are some ways of bringing sensory touch and warmth to your body, perhaps safely or slowly, as you acclimate to the possibility of receiving (maybe a form of) what you’ve needed… ♥️

Sometimes holding both, coexisting in polarization within ourselves, is enough in a given moment (doesn’t mean it has to stay here forever) - it gives us a moment to honor our capacity to do so.

Sometimes our greatest access to extending compassion towards other people comes from our ability to access compassion towards ourselves. 💓

If we haven’t given ourselves full permission to experience tenderness and softness, it is significantly more difficult to tolerate or understand another person’s need for tenderness and softness.

If unexplored, we project the protective parts of ourselves that we have inherited from life experience and/or our caregivers and ancestors.
