VLP

Posts in VLP (Vital Life Project), Kelly Brogan's community which I joined yesterday. So I'm trying on VLP, Ayla's Living Song, and feel sewn into OmniLov3 and living Energetic Synthesis.

Here's what I posted in response to a post in VLP:

Such a beautiful share! Thank you! An honor (and inspiration) to get a glimpse of this magical time with your beloveds. ✨ 

This post brought forward something related that I'd like to chew on. In a nutshell, I struggle with a lack of clarity about what is fear-based (and a subconscious attempt to keep me imprisoned) and what is my body/CNS saying "whoah Nelly...just rest for a bit." 

I've got a tangled snarl ball of fear tucked into some rather challenging physical symptoms which I frame as related to the ascension of the earth. I resonate with the idea that the collective earth and all riding in the matter plane along with her are getting "upgraded". This feels like it triggers CNS and endocrine system issues which waterfall down into physical discomfort and some pretty gnarly opportunities to overcome fear. 

I noticed in the last decade that this time of year I am called to the depths of my soul to hug my shadow and hold my inner child as we release the density that is ready to be healed (physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually). I know I must face fear and often repeat a part of quote that sticks in my mind that says something like "you must do what you think you cannot do"... 

So your post met me in this place and I appreciate what you said here:

"What I have observed is that there is a phase where it is essential to honor your nervous system and meet yourself exactly where you are without judgment and without pushing through. And later there is a phase where it becomes essential to revisit the potential for movement into discomfort, going against your own grain, and exploring the possibility of new experiences of what safety can look like."

I'm grateful to be feeling through this and although I'm not sure where the line is for me, I sure appreciate the opportunity to observe all its nooks and crannies!

Here's that quote that I think of often!

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror'. I can take the next one that comes along. You must do the thing you think you cannot do."~Eleanor Roosevelt  

And here was my first post yesterday:

Hello friends! I hope everyone is having a lovely winter solstice. I am new to the group so not sure if it’s acceptable to share this kind of thing (and if not, please feel free to remove)… but found this (free) solstice reflection and meditation to be nourishing and elevating and thought I should share it with my new VLP friends!

We'll see how it goes! It's 12:22 12:34!!
