Healthy Impulses & Knowing Beyond Knowing

Have you ever had the experience of being viscerally moved to do or to say something to someone - the impulse came like strong feeling in the body that was guiding you - but then the mind talked you out of it? The impulses we have don't always lead us to make healthy choices, but what about those healthy impulses that come from the body, and that are guiding us all the time?  We have an internal compass that we can access & pay attention to when we're present.  And the outcome of following those impulses can sometimes surprise us, as well as lending beauty, mystery and meaning to our experiences.  I have a story to share about this in this week's episode!

Parenting can lead us to a threshold in life we hadn’t known before. We're bringing into the parenting dynamic with our kids the momentum of our previous experiences - our resources and resilience, as well as our disconnection and disembodiment due to trauma (individual, familial, cultural, historical & intergenerational).  Beyond the challenges we face to parent in ways we may not have been parented, there is a deep love for our children that wants to be expressed and known in presence with them. There's also a yearning in us to experience that deep love ourselves; to feel our power and to live authentically, just as we yearn to protect that for our kids, too. The urgency to heal what's still alive within us might come up with a force because of them, and yet it's ultimately a reclamation of our life force, vitality, joy, connection and creativity we're most hungry for. It’s sometimes a desire bold as love that fuels our courage to meet what we fear to face.
