That was a wonderful read.

That feeling of safety is so hard to acquire within ourselves; especially if we’ve been in unfortunate situations.

I hope to one day be able to embody the lessons you shared here. They’re not for the weak of heart.

Vera thank you for your reflections. I’m so with you on how hard it is to feel safe within…last night I did a little burn ritual to release old traumas of not feeling safe in my body and this morning woke up ruminating on dumb shit that felt tense in my body…so, work in progress. :) I see art and humor are big influences for you…do you have a fav art practice that helps spark that sense of safety?

It’s going to be work in progress for a while. We’re here to learn and the road is tough, but so worth it!

Hmm, what I try to do is either play music or dance. That helps me shake away the stress and the fear.
