I have found that it's more like a purgatory spiral, every win is a step up, but still going in a circle LOL. Hang in there!

Yes, thank you to YOU for being you, with all that self-healing and self-leadership wisdom. My whole body is vibrating with that healing purgatory place and the search for the off-ramp. Thanks for lighting the path. And cheers to the journey forward. 💙

^^ What I commented with Fei - the path feels more like a purgatory spiral, each step is upward but still in a circle. You've got this! And it's okay if you don't <3

This made me realize all of my fears aka T-Rexes taught me something about myself and I'd be blind without them... can't wait to see the next chapter :)

In a recent ayurvedic consultation my friend said that my pitta dosha is characterized by too much protector energy, as opposed to nurturer energy. So it's interesting how sometimes my attempt at "self care" are not coming from a nurturing place, but more of a "ok heal up quick so we can get stuff done!!" vibe..which apparently is not very healing? 😂 That's what your writing reminds me of--that we can seek to "heal" but if we do so in a weird not-really-in-care-of-ourselves way it's somewhat paradoxical. I can't wait to see what you will show us next with your deep personal experience of healing!

Oooh so fascinating - the protector/nurturer spectrum! The paradox of "You can't actually force awakening, it just happens." is frustrating when you're trying to level up LOL. My take away... don't try, just be.
