There is no ‘other’
自己栄養ヨウシン : Youshin : Self Nourishment : There is no 'other'
Have you noticed how important it is to nourish yourself, so that you in turn can nourish your environment?
Now more than ever we are all being called to step up and walk the path of our Soul. For this we need courage and Deep Roots...
In the photo above, can you see the sunlight pouring into the earth?
Can you see how generously the sun gives ? No strings attached - no preferences - the sun shines on all.
Can you be a part of the light that is so needed in our world today? A light that shines on all - no strings attached - no preferences?
Can a part of your Youshin be a daily practice of random acts of kindness?
(Read this :) So inspiring!!!)
Of being committed to Self-kindness?
Of being committed to dropping into your Heart space for answers?
Of being committed to walking the path of your Soul?
Remember that the Soul never yells, (s)he whispers...
And when we stop listening, the body is likely to start yelling...
Welcome to Youshin : Self Nourishment : There is no 'other'.
One of the first symptoms of trauma is a deep feeling of separation. Being separate from the earth, from our fellow human brothers and sisters, separate from the animal and plant kingdoms. Separate from Life. This is the state of our human story on earth, separation, finger pointing, me against the other, the rape and pillage of our earth as a resource that can be used and abused. The deeper this angst enters into our (un)conscious the more we need to hoard and protect. The deeper we sink into the illusion of 'other'.
Over the past years I have been diving deeper into this part of our human story of trauma and fragmentation, here a short film regarding trauma.
At the moment I am following trainings with Thomas Huebl and Dick Schwartz whose teachings are offering a new way.
Our world is changing rapidly, this can be a frightening time, or a time that is full of potential. Or both!
Whatever the emotions, whatever the outside circumstances, what these changing times require is SELF LEADERSHIP.
What is Self Leadership? It is the turning within for answers, guidance and integration. It is pretty much the exact opposite of what we have learnt from our culture. It is the embodied knowing that there is no other. The more that I reject parts of myself the more conflict inside and outside... And until my personal and our collective undigested past traumas are digested, we will continue to repeat history. Right now more and more of us are becoming aware of the collective trauma of racism. Resmaa Menakem explains in this podcast how we all contribute to the healing of these wounds.
From September 2020 @ yoga2go SELF LEADERSHIP workshops will be created to support this new chapter in healing our human story.
