    Oh Sea Dreamer – a one year old!? How early to begin being shutdown, so sad. Your words capture the absolute essence of this completely and I’m sorry you are still being subjected to this after all these years. I do wonder who we would have been had we been allowed to fully express ourselves without all this blocking and shaming.

    This shows so much insight and courage to be honest. Eating is definitely an immediate strategy that works but unfortunately has unwanted long term side effects. Being in the moment with all those aww-inspiring things is definitely a great alternative. Thanks for sharing your survival kit with us!

    What a beautiful image and words 🥰 I understand about the self-criticism, it almost feels like it’s trying to protect us from failure but it’s so overzealous because it doesn’t seem to believe we can do anything right at all. I sometimes try to talk to it like it’s a scared child, letting it off the hook of being responsible for my safety. The adult part of me can do that now. My friend even gives that part of herself child activities to do, like playing with crayons, while she gets on with the scary adult things 😊 I love that you let all parts of yourself be here.

    Judy, a body check is a brilliant way to start the day, what a great idea 💡 There’s so much self-care in that before you even get out of bed. And of course it depends how present we can be with our body as to how deep we can each go with that each day.
    The vu sound is very powerful, my therapist suggested not to do it more than twice at a time. I guess we can trust our intuition on that one.
    I also have a paperweight, a clear glass one, it’s very grounding. And how interesting about the image of being swaddled. You might like the feel of a weighted blanked or cushion also.
    It looks like you uploaded an image Judy but it was too big – they need to be under 1mg I believe. You can always shrink them down using free apps on the net if needed.
    Thanks for sharing all your practises, it’s great to read what everyone finds helpful 🧡

    Yay Teresa you made it 🙂
    Sorry to see you’re in the expert scapegoat category. It sounds like you have some great insight into what’s been happening inside your nervous system in response to this. Hoping for a great sense of peace to grow and flourish within you now x

    Hi Seadreamer, yes I’ll post in here – you can hit the subscribe button up the top and be notified when I do.
    I probably won’t send emails out because they do end up in junk mail folders! I might just send a reminder in the form of a Sanctuary newsletter at the end of the week.
    I think if you move things out of your junk mail into your inbox often enough, eventually they start coming to your inbox, but you probably tried that?

    Welcome ladies! Glad it made sense and thanks for the feedback – expanding my nervous system in the area of videos as we go! Patience and kindness is a definite necessity on the road to sustained and meaningful expansion 🙂

    Wooohooo I love all your new names, I also love how you’re clear on what you want and don’t want. Jaguar Star Birch – your body does not define your identity, and maybe you have some new names today!
