It’s an act of kindness to take a few moments each day to slow down, rest our minds and downregulate our nervous systems, re-attune to the feeling-body and the earthy ground, and give ourselves the space to metabolize what it is we’ve been experiencing.

If we aren’t able to do this, our experience will remain undigested, or only partly digested, which can end up depleting us over time – our physical bodies as well as in more subtle ways, our emotional and energy-bodies.

Experience which is overwhelming and not properly assimilated gets held in bodily and subcortical circuitry, located into our cell tissue, muscles, organs, and patterns of breathing, and stored into the underworld of the somatic unconscious.

In our increasingly frenetic and dysregulated world, it can take some devotional effort to cut into the trance as it requires a shift in our psychic center of gravity, as well as an experiential differentiation from the collective, which is dense and seductive.

It’s not going to be possible without a conscious, embodied, compassionate relationship with our own unfelt grief, buried shame and rage, and other ghosts of our unlived lives.

To take a few conscious breaths, ground into the earth, sense the aliveness in our hands and feet, and soften our bellies. To come back into center and reconnect with the nonconceptual intelligence of the heart.

To take a break from the ongoing commentary about our experience and return into embodied, sensual immediacy; into the empty cup and to the wisdom of not-knowing.

Over time, these micro moments will start to encode new circuitry, updating grooves in our neural network, cutting into billions of previous moments of self-abandonment, self-aggression, and disembodiment, strategies that were once adaptive and necessary to keep us safe.

To see if they are still required or if there are new resources available – from the seen and unseen worlds – that possess the mercy and grace to rewire the pathways, organizing them around empathy, embodiment, spaciousness, and kindness.

And in this we can become a more transparent, open vehicle or vessel for these qualities to incarnate and embody here, which it seems our planet could really use about now.

Buried inside even our deepest neuroses are the raw materials of healing. All of the less-than-awakened thoughts, unfelt feelings, unmetabolized shame, and burning raw sensations in the body.

They are portals into life, but they require illumination, safe passage, and a fiery sort of compassion in order to yield their wisdom

The s**t, the p**s, the dirt, the failures, the heartbreak, disappointment, the crumbling relationships, the disintegrating ideas about the ways we thought it would all turn out.

The achiness of a tender body and heart, the shattering aliveness of our sensitivity and vulnerability, the bittersweet miracle of somehow being granted a human form.

While we live in a world that has forgotten the mystery of dissolution, it is the nature of all form to arise and to pass, shapeshifting into greater cohesiveness and wholeness.

When the materials of soul are spinning into holy reorganization, go into the earth, into slowness, into the body, and into the ground.

Lay your hands on your heart, on your belly.

Listen. Feel. Sense.

The temptation will always be to replace the darkened form with something else – some new person, belief system, identity, or feeling to cut into the unresolvable, pregnant, uncertain, unknown. Into the womb of the quantum.

This ancient longing for relief need not be shamed, nor approached with abandonment and aggression, but held as utterly valid and workable, allowed to arise, unfold, and be metabolized in curious, loving awareness.

But the deeper invitation is to rest in the deflation itself, to descend inside the core of the creative energies of the dissolution, and take refuge in the creativity and the intelligence found only there.

To slow down, finally, and touch the emptiness with love. To provide safe passage for the light to provide new birth.
