The ancients understood what scientists are discovering now. That the human body heals significantly faster when it feels safe. Not medicated. Not operated on. Simply safe.
Story #1
This week I held space for a focus group. They are implementing my 5 step mastering alignment process. The members of the group that have accepted the space specifically created to hold space for them, as they do their healing work. These members seem to be progressing at a rapid rate. Considering that it has only been a few days. However the members who have been apprehensive and prefer to work in isolation are lagging behind. The obvious difference is that the space offers a cocoon of sorts for deeper work. Daily inspiration, sharing stories, kindness, support and no judgment.
They feel safer within themselves because they have committed to an intimacy that allows them to meet with themselves. The wounded parts feel safe, not only within the groups reflection but within the relationship with themselves. The members who have chosen to work in isolation lack something sacred, community. Furthermore perspective.
What we don't realize, is that when we do not priorities a safe space, we deny a part of ourselves that has not felt safe in a long time. The bigger question is when last did you feel safe in your choices.
See you next week!
