Collective Themes of Safety, Security and Rootedness

Noticing a consistent theme the work I do. Recently, many people seem to be working through issues of safety and security. Our roots, our health, our home base, feeling belonging, and our feeling of being ourselves authentically without being attacked or dismissed. Fears rise from a place where we don’t know if we safe to be real, or maybe we don’t know where our security will come from… 

Groundedness goes deeper than deep. Alex drew a picture a long time ago that was a tiny flower with roots that went down in complex patterns, deep into the ground. He said, “The most important part is invisible to our eyes.” 

Liam mentioned, “we should turn our angry into silly” The balance of the heavy stuff is the light stuff. I feel like my boys nailed it. Breathe- stay light, laugh about the ridiculousness, get out in the sun, don’t forget to play and remember that the most important deep work is usually invisible to the eye but the most important/the most foundational. 

Sometimes rage, financial worries and sleep issues come up with safety issues; sometimes it’s fear of the darkness itself. Remember:  Safety includes feeling like we are supported by something bigger, connecting the earth, appreciating our food and where it comes from, feeling financially sound and valued. Observe: beauty, what nourishes you and what’s happening with your physical sensations. It can help to dig into ancestry, get out in nature and remember to stay present in your skin. 

I feel like so much is happening under the surface. Globally and within each one of us.  Sending love and support to those finding that this message rings true.
