HEALING THE WOUND OF NON-SUPPORT

     We must receive support before we can ever give it Many of us were born and raised in homes where we did not receive the support we really needed in order to feel safe, seen, grounded, and valued. For whatever reasons, our parents and families and perhaps even our communities were unable to give us enough responsive attention for us to anchor a feeling of being empowered and supported into our Beings.   Because we did not receive this support for our very Being, our essence, we came to distrust ourselves and those around us.

In my experience the simple answer is through our body. We can achieve single-minded, self-connected attention and focus by bringing our awareness inward, into our present moment body sensations.   When we focus inwardly on our own kinesthetic experience, our body's sensations, or our own movement as it unfolds, we practice moving with awareness, breathing with awareness, inner energy awareness. When sustaining one of these ...
