“All We Ever Do- Is All We Ever Knew”
(Currently singing The Head and the Heart song…)
Most of us are running on autopilot, based on our old beliefs and patterns that we took on from caregivers and those around us, especially from ages 0-7, when our brain is like a sponge absorbing everything we see and hear, and taking it on as truth.
We go through the world, operating on these outdated programs and beliefs, and it can feel REALLY uncomfortable to change them. When these beliefs are challenged, we may get triggered, feel resistance, and go back to what we know to feel safe. Our body is highly intelligent and our subconscious will try anything to keep us in the same loops, because it’s trying to protect us and keep us safe.
AND
These programs are keeping us stuck and limited. It can be difficult to grow, change, and expand because there is so much resistance to doing so.
The goal isn’t to resist the resistance but rather lean into it, listen to it, work with it, and integrate it.
Some ways I have done this are though: somatic work, inner child work and parts work, subconscious reprogramming, breathwork, and energy work.
