Believing that we don’t Matter

Mondays with Mike Episode 36

How painful and self-separated we feel when we are believing that we don’t matter.

This is an emotional session for me, Harmony.

I go slow and deep, not just talking about painful emotions, but actually experiencing them in the moment, within the safety of MIke’s caring. He accompanies me with warmth and resonance.

And With this support, I find the safety and holding I need in order to express, grieve, process, and experience resolution

The camera was accidentally set to capture only Mike’s presence on the video.

But maybe this was actually providential, because we get to see just how Mike shows his caring attentiveness, which signals to me that he is friendly empathic ally, and enables me to share my raw self so openly and vulnerably.

Being Embraced

A Description of Contact Improvisation Dance Practice: Achieving inner stillness through attention to, and acute observation of our impulses; our bodily experience. Meeting at the point of touch and exploring, through mutual responsiveness, what movement wants to unfold from an authentic, neutral space Curiously exploring that meeting, that point, that present moment, while maintaining full, unconditional presence. Saying, “YES!” in response to the other, without diminishing our self; without compromising our own authenticity. Surrendering to process, letting go of judgment, of intention, of willfulness. Experiencing a spaciousness that allows full acceptance self and other. As we are. Mutually supporting what is happening. And when there are ‘disconnects’, stopping and waiting. Waiting for that full presence to come into each of us again; for that felt sense of, “Ah yes, you are here, I am here, we meet here.” And in agreement, continuing. Joined, yet separate and individual. Connecti...

Where is my Support?

When I am connecting to Source Every thing is my support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I think you are being self-centered I have left my center. Nothing can support me when I've left my center. Every thing and everyone is my teacher. Every encounter is perfectly reciprocal. When I lose connection with me I lose connection with you, I feel as if you have left me. But I have left me. When I am Being You are able to meet me I am able to meet you We are One. The ego is terrified of abandonment, of shortage, of our True Nature. It contracts, it runs, it thinks, it calculates, it worries, it accuses, it blames it attacks, it is a black hole that sucks........ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ego thinks, Source Acts ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Support is felt when we know ourselves as Source And when we know everyone and everything as Source. There is nothing t...

Are you exhausting yourself by how you relate with others?

Do you identify yourself as someone who acts co-dependently, as a caretaker, or people pleaser? Do you find that you adjust your ideas Your behavior, your feelings, your actions, your thoughts based on how someone else might react? Do you have trouble knowing what you really want? Do you often feel powerless Or oppressed? Do you have trouble standing up for your needs? Is it hard for you to find your own voice especially in interpersonal relationships? As I was holding a quiet state of presence with a client recently while we were silently connecting through eye contact alone, she was able to notice that her mental processes were working overtime. Reflecting what I perceived in her energy I said, "Its exhausting." And she had the insight that, during this intimate moment between us, when she could have been simply and deeply relaxing into receiving herself, and receiving my embracing attention, instead her mind was frantically working,. It was obsessively searching ...
