Hello lovelies,
I actually recorded this about 2 weeks ago, and have just not had the energy to come back to it until today. I had a visit from a dear friend and we moved slowly though our time together as you can when a friendship is secure and mature.
Cycles can take us; and we can move with them or against them.
Learning to move with them helps us to conserve energy. It helps us to take a pause when things are moving too quickly to appropriately digest them. Trauma is what happens when events occur faster than our mind and body can give context to our experience. Slowing down allows us to “digest” what is going on, and what has happened.
So, we go down and in. But we need to come up with new reference points and not remain forever within, staring into those reflective surfaces. Yes, integration takes time, and it’s important to remember that “processing”, when not contained, can go on forever.
Down we go… and back up again.
Lots of love to you,
~Justice
