This is a time for many of us when we
are digging deep, as the saying goes, to find a way to meet the
challenges of our lives, both personally and collectively. Many of us
have been powerfully impacted by each other’s emotional struggles,
current events, and the feeling of the world shaking with change. The
question is: Can we find our way back to a state of grounded, calm,
openhearted connection with ourselves and others?
The need to answer this question is
great. And although we can't change what we've been through or what we're
going through now, we can influence how we respond moving forward. And we
can begin by cultivating the inner resources we need — ones that can offer
us a glimpse of relief and comfort — when we find ourselves in difficult
situations and challenging nervous system states.
When we listen attentively to what our
nervous system asks of us, when we allow it to speak through our body and
emotions, and when we respond compassionately to its calls with the
kindness of a loving friend, healing is naturally evoked. As we learn to support
our well-being through self-regulation, breathing techniques, and
movement we can step forward with greater resilience and grounded clarity
— better prepared to weather whatever storms may come.
