One of the most painful revelations we will ever have as adults, is the revelation that perfect safety in life is never going to exist.
Realizing that we are never going to find the perfect partner or community that can guarantee that we will never be alone ever again.
Realizing we can’t prepare or protect ourselves enough to never experience loss of security.
Realizing we can’t control our bodies and diets enough to make sure that we never get sick.
Realizing that there’s no level of figuring life out that will lead to never having to face the unknown, challenges or setbacks we’re not sure we can actually manage or navigate.
Realizing that so long as we’re alive, there’s never going to be a time when life ‘settles down’ and we have the space to just be, express and enjoy.
For many of us, the reality that there is always some level of pain, insecurity or not knowing present in our lives means that we live in a state of constant fear.
We live in a state of constant striving for safety, constant bracing, constant looking for the other shoe to drop - and we can never seem to allow ourselves to rest into any goodness that exists - because we know in the back of our minds that at any moment it could be taken away.
For many of us, the ability to relax and enjoy has been deeply hindered by our past experiences with pain and suffering.
If this is you, if you’re the kind of person who really WANTS to relax, to be able to enjoy, to have peace - but finds that your mind/body is constantly in a state of bracing and stress - today’s video is for you.
I’m going to be breaking down why the nervous system gets ‘stuck’ in this state of constantly being on guard, and how we can gently start to work with it in a way that will allow us to find moments of peace and safety - even as we acknowledge that perfect peace will never exist.
It can be a long road to come out of this state of stress - but the effort is worth the rewards.
