SUNDAY SLOWDOWN | Healing as revolution
"Healing is circular… Not linear…
You come back to things...
You re-open...
You soften....
And one day, something that used to shatter you… doesn’t anymore.
A private revolution."
- Pamela Anderson
Healing is integration. Healing is evolution. Healing is a choice. Sometimes, it's also a responsibility. But typically, it's a commitment we can make. To our better well-being. To our highest potential. To create more connection and communion within ourselves so we can create communion and connection with others.
Like anything we are working on, it's the small, consistent, sometimes barely discernible, steps we take and things we do. Like a circle, we start at a point and we move through it. We revisit arcs along the way. Only this time, we notice that we feel differently. We have opened, we have softened. We no longer react the way we used to. We're willing to sit with what comes our way. We are curious. We stay to have a conversation. We listen and speak without harsh judgement or demanding expectation.
A silent metamorphosis is taking place.
We smile and settle into our selves, knowing that we can let go of our grip, to finally relax, and just be.
