Hello ,
Where to begin..... I feel like the world has been spinning off kilter for the last few months for me personally. Amongst my role as a mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend, health guide and business owner, I have also been navigating some big life shifts.
This past summer after a long 2 years of figuring out our home had extensive toxic mold and was making us ill we made the decision to move out to do a major mold remediation and begin the deeper work of healing. I have plans to share my story in 2024 in a way that will support others struggling in similar ways, and of course I will keep y'all in the loop as that evolves.
Over the past 5 weeks my mom's illness progressed and we said good bye to her in this earthly realm and she died October 20. I am so honored to have walked this path at the end with her, she taught me so much as she transitioned from this earthly realm. I miss her desperately at times and then feel moments of calm that all is ok........the work of grief.
Through all of this there have been times where my ways of being have supported me, nourished me and sustained me and other times where my ways of being have not supported me and things have just been hard.
When my thoughts are out of balance with my BEing; I see myself as a human "thinker" vs a human "BEing"; when I am not intentional in my practices to regulate my nervous system, my self judgment thoughts move in and take over, typically followed by behaviors that do not support healing of body, mind and spirit. When I use my tools to support and regulate my nervous system (limbic and vagal toning support), I can more easily land in my human BEing state.
Both are OK!
It helps me to lead with curiosity vs judgment and to embrace a beginners mind and have ruthless compassion for the human "thinking" and "being" condition and myself. I am under NO illusion that I will GET there and always choose the practices to support me, instead I trust that this is a life practice ebbing, flowing and learning and unlearning. As I write this and share things feel a bit lighter.
We are a community of human BEings on a journey to elevate health and live life on purpose. Community IS an integral part of healing and is why we are so passionate about that at ISH.
What supports you in moments of life challenges?
What Way of BEing supports self nourishment?
What Way of BEing keeps you stuck?
What does community mean to you?
How does community support you on your path to elevate health and well BEing?
Take care of each other!
Be kind and ease on in to your week,
Joyfully,
Lynn 🌈 |
