We as humans crave certainty and we fear the unknown. This is natural because uncertainty threatens our perception of our own safety which is a core and fundamental need (however we tend to look for safety in all the wrong places). We don’t like the liminal, the in between, the gray and so we desperately try to cling to things that we know or think we know, even if those things are clearly dying and no longer support the vision that is trying to be birthed……even if those old things are parts of of ourselves - our beliefs, our patterns, our identity.

So many of us, especially Highly Sensitive People (I’ll be speaking more about this in future newsletters), did not get what we needed in our younger years. Most of our parents did the best that they could but we all have wounds of abandonment, not feeling seen or heard, not feeling safe and if you are highly sensitive you most likely have a very dysregulated nervous system.

On our path of growth to our fullest potential and our most evolved selves, Resistance is like a little alert that there is something to be looked at internally to get to the next stage, whatever that may be for us (spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally).

Your energy is your greatest currency and you lose some of that currency by falling trap to the hook of the “fixing” pattern. Tending to your own emotional needs and regulating your nervous system is what will help shift your experience, not focusing on the experience of others.
