Safety: The Cornerstone of Wellness

     Safety is the foundation for overall wellness and the enlightenment we seek on the “Conscious Journey”.  Safety is making sure that our foundational needs are met without undercutting our morals and ethics.  This is living within comfort and balance to receive the support we need.  Basic essentials include food in our stomach, comfortable shelter, secure relationships, clothing, hygiene, and the ability to be comfortable and safe with ourselves.  This has been the fundamental necessity that was needed in order to expand into the best version of myself.  Now, the best version already exists, as your best version exists within yourself.  It’s about embodying that by allowing the consciousness to meet the physical form, and to let the physical form BE what it needs to BE in order to achieve and heal.  Within the boundaries of safety, which is actually not bound to form at all, we can start to settle into the body and breathe.  Through this state of “being”, we can learn to slow down the thought process, jump out of the fight or flight response, and begin the inward quest toward actualizing who it is we are, why we act the way we do, and begin to become familiar with the Soul Essence.  This essence is a non physical form that we learn to engage with through being, and feeling.  It arrives in many ways, through smell, feeling, a color, a texture, or even a quick image.  It is through this safety and being that we can begin to engage with the soul, and learn how to functions and creates through the body.  How do we merge the soul with the body?  By allowing the body to do its thing.  Our soul already knows that our soul has reached a state of enlightenment; it is an aspect of the creator.  It is everything you seek, already created and never destroyed.  The issue many people have is allowing the body, the mind, to just be, and to allow the process to unfold in its own time.  This level of allowance can bring a sense of peace for the participant in the game of life.  Once we awaken, there can be a delay or disconnect between the soul and the body, thus creating a “discord”, or a sense of “dis-ease” in the body not catching up to the soul.  The only way this can happen, is through radical acceptance that the body has its own path and time, and that process will unravel exactly as it should.  The more resistance shown to the body for the “time to figure it out”, the longer the healing and integrating process takes.  Through this process of complete allowance, we now afford the opportunity to come into body and to create the necessary dialogue between the consciousness and the temporal form.  Many disconnect from their body for safety reasons.  This is why it is important to feel safe to practice self love through the process of self actualization.  Self actualization is the process of discovering YOU.  Many of us are taught to distract from self in order to focus on the external.  Our process has been skewed, first, we fix the external, and the internal will feel the fulfillment.  This is actually an entirely falsified narrative.  The only way we fix the internal is through going within.  This travel of going within can only be accomplished through safety and security.  So, now the question asks, how does one feel safe?  Well, this process is different for everyone, but a great starting point is through building a discussion with your inner child.  You can actually take a moment, pause, bring forth your little kid, and ask “how do you feel about this?”  In the silence, you will receive the answer.  This dialogue is easier than we think, as you aren’t creating a dialogue with some unknown being or guide that you’ve never spoken to.  Even if it’s been decades since you’ve spoken to your inner child, you can simply ask that soft loving voice within how it feels about your current environments.  The tough thing, is when we hear the answer, we may not exactly prefer to hear what we hear.  That is because the ego has been running the show for far too long, and the inner child has been silenced through the external and the ego.  So, the call is to rediscover who we are through inner child interaction, and to unveil the truth of who we are in all of our magnificent glory.  So it is, and always will be…
