Vulnerability works

Let’s get naked. Well, vulnerably naked. Vulnerability has a gauge. How much can I share? How safe do I feel? Can I open more and can I hold my own back to be there for myself in case of need. People really want to be able to support each other, be there for each other, sometimes we underestimate the human desire to feel needed. When we share vulnerability, it gives other’s the chance to be caring and supportive. It also gives them permission to share more about themselves, creating deeper spaces of connection.

Sometimes we have been vulnerable and have not received a positive reaction and may have shut down our ability because it feels unsafe.

This results in stuffing things down, not expressing ourselves and ultimately, all that we hold within will come forward in our bodies. Whether it be tensions, pains, or even disease.

Being vulnerable is not just about venting or exploding or laying our sh*t on others, it is about communication, learning when and how is the best way to share and if the other person has the bandwidth to be able to hold space for us.

If we have had traumatic or difficult memories of being vulnerable, it may have completely shut us down.

Learn how trauma, childhood stifling, parents who didn’t listen, school age mocking and ridiculing may have shut down our ability to be vulnerable.

Being vulnerable is truly a gift. It allows us to connect, release and let go of what is present and to be able to move forward and grow in a way that feels held and connected.

If vulnerability is challenging for you let’s talk. I help people be themselves and find comfort in vulnerability.  Contact me to learn more about how I can support you with somatic coaching.

Water.

What if I could become still water to be able to reflect the beauty of the moon?

What if I could use the concept of WuWei, the inner flow state?

The concept of allowance, the concept of Bruce Lee “Be water my friend.” (Said with the accent and all.)

The concept of Judo; use the energetic momentum of your adversary to transform it instead of resisting. When we resist, we fatigue, when we let move through and dance with, we are no longer attacked, it becomes a dance.

Lilith, the first woman, wild and uncontrollable, too powerful. God’s error. Thus, Eve was the second try, born Adam’s side. He was given dominance and she was demonized for making him sin…
