A cry for Love.

For the past few days, we have witnessed the deep division we have in this country. It has now come out from the shadows into the light so we can see it. We are watching generational trauma on the big screen. I felt my body begin to shut down.

Immediately I knew the body was becoming dysregulated. My nervous system was moving between high alert and freeze. My brain and my heart were not coherent. Coherence is when our mind, body and emotions are in energetic alignment. It is a state that builds resiliency, personal energy is accumulated, not wasted. This leaves us with more energy to manifest our intentions and harmonious outcomes. This state can be self induced anytime/anywhere once we learn how.

I was being influenced by the collective energetic field. This is what we call an emotional contagion. These contagions such a fear can be transmitted. I was experiencing this in that moment. As my mind went into the past, I could see all the conflicts I had witnessed before, I was in the past.

We are all experiencing intergenerational and cultural wounding that we need to address now. Thomas Hubl has a wonderful book “Healing Collective Trauma” . These are the very dynamics that are blocking the resolution of conflicts.

AS I listened to clients this week experiencing trouble sleeping, reacting vs responding, emotional turmoil, arguing with loved ones, leaving loved ones, self medicating to just not feel, many did not even know why there were behaving in this way! The emotional contagion of fear and “othering” had been unleashed. The collective nervous system is in chaos. It can be so uncomfortable to sit with this kind of activation, and yet, it is a way out.

We project onto the world all of our beliefs and perceptions, all of which are based on the past. They are running how we see each other. To shift this we have to change our thoughts and emotions. This takes work, Presence, willingness to own our stuff (good, bad and ugly).

“We don’t see the things as they are, we see things as we are”! A quote from Anais Nin also Talmudic origins. I know I need to cleanse my own lens before I can take the splinter out of your eye ;-). This takes coherence in my humble opinion.

There is a Cherokee Nation story (at least my daughter who works with Native Americans says it is 😉 ) : A Grandfather was sitting with his grandson one day. As they sat the Grandfather told his grandson that he had two wolves inside of him. The grandson leaned forward, asking him to explain. Grandfather said I have one wolf that is terrified, angry, hurt, judgmental, frustrated, worried, doubtful, filled with fear, anxious, rude, hurtful, scared, depressed, etc. The other wolf is kind, compassionate, humble, loving, humorous, valiant, wise, peaceful, forgiving, understanding, wise, patient, joyful, etc. They are warring inside of me. The grandson asked him which one would win. The Grandfather said “the one I feed”.

Which one will you feed? Which one will I feed? Which one will citizens of this country feed? Which one will citizens of the world feed? It is our moment by moment choice. We are all crying out for LOVE, will I honor the cry? Will you?
