Who Am I When I No Longer Need To Adapt?
We can’t think our way out of survival mode.
Anxiety, perfectionism and people-pleasing may be protective adaptations, not our personality. When our nervous system begins to feel safe, the patterns that once controlled our life can begin to change.
The greatest breakthrough isn’t changing who we are. It’s finally feeling safe enough to be ourselves.
For a long time, I thought adapting to the people around me and my environment was simply who I was. I learned to adjust, to fit in, and to be aware of what was happening around me.
I thought that was my personality.
But slowly, I began to realise that perhaps these were survival skills I had developed along the way. They helped me navigate life experiences and find a sense of safety and belonging.
But if I had been adapting for so long, I started to wonder…
Who am I when I no longer need to adapt? Can I truly be myself?
These questions have stayed with me for a long time.
Discovering Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy opened a new doorway for me to explore myself, not just through my thoughts, but through my body.
What does it actually mean to feel safe? What does it feel like to truly rest? What happens when I no longer have to be on alert, anticipate others' needs, or constantly adjust myself to the world around me?
Through my own experience with craniosacral therapy, I've begun to understand that I can't simply think my way out of these patterns. When our bodies have been holding tension and staying in survival mode for so long, these responses can become deeply familiar, almost automatic.
Sometimes, even when our minds know we're safe, our bodies may take longer to feel it.
For me, craniosacral therapy has been a gentle process of unwinding, of slowly allowing my body to soften and experience a different way of being.
Not by forcing myself to relax or trying to fix what I thought was wrong with me, but by creating space to listen, to feel, and to be with myself.
And perhaps, little by little, to feel safe within myself.
I'm still exploring these questions.
But I'm beginning to understand that the parts of me that learned to adapt weren't wrong. They were doing their best to help me navigate life with the resources I had at the time.
I can appreciate them for what they have done for me, while gently exploring whether I still need to live in the same way.
Healing isn't about becoming someone new, but discovering who we are beneath all the ways we've learned to protect ourselves.
Who am I when I don't have to be anyone else to feel safe?
Perhaps this is what coming home to ourselves feels like.

I am writing this reflection from my own experience.
Can we hear others without losing ourselves?
One of the most painful things we can do to ourselves is let other people define who we are.

We lose ourselves.
We lose our own sovereignty.

The way we judge ourselves can be ten times more painful than how others judge us.
We’re all afraid of being judged. And sometimes we take other people’s opinions on board, and slowly get caught in a loop:

I’m not good enough.
Something is wrong with me.
I should be different.

But the most painful thing is not always what people think about us.

It’s how we start thinking about ourselves.
We give our power away to the outside world.
We leave ourselves.

We try to keep up with the world, with what people expect, with what people think we should be.

And then we start believing:

What they think about me is who I am.
But hold on a second.
What other people think about you is not who you are.
We keep letting people define us.
What if we could become an island to ourselves?
We can’t control what other people think or say about us.
But we can choose what we do with it.
We can listen.
We can learn from their opinions.
We can reflect on their judgment.
But we don’t have to abandon our own existence, our own values, or our own truth just because someone sees us differently.
We can hear them without losing ourselves.
We can be open without giving our power away.
We can learn from others without letting them define us.
I can hear what you think of me,
and still honour my own value.

About anxiety…
Fear of the future, fear of something happening, fear of losing control…

So underneath that is fear.
And underneath fear is perhaps a lack of safety in oneself.
Something happened in the past, and our body and psyche store that energy. It can keep us hypervigilant and alert.
Mechanically, our nervous system can learn to respond to certain situations as if there is danger, even when we are actually okay. The amygdala helps detect danger and can activate the fear response very quickly, while the hippocampus helps us recognise the context, that this is now, not then.
And when we have repeatedly experienced the same thing and had the same reaction, it can become a habitual energy.
As Thich Nhat Hanh describes, sometimes we are caught in our habitual energy.
We are afraid just for the sake of fear. When we logically think about it, we may know that we are okay. But because we have repeatedly experienced the same thing and had the same reaction, the body keeps going back to that familiar response.

So how can we feel safe again?
Perhaps it starts with awareness.
Catching ourselves gently:

“I know I am feeling fear.”

Not trying to push it away.

Not trying to make it disappear.

Just noticing.

Observing what is happening, and taking a little step back from the story, so we can see a bigger picture.

Feel and focus on our spine with mindful breathing.

Feel the support that we have within ourselves.

You might still feel a strong pull back into the fear again. That’s okay. That’s normal.

The more we catch ourselves in it, the more the power of fear becomes less.
Can we trust ourselves ?

Can we trust life, even when we can’t see ahead?

Can we rest in ourselves?

Can we rest in God?

Can we rest in the universe?
Maybe safety is knowing that whatever happens, we will still be here with ourselves.

And when we can rest in them, perhaps we can experience peace.

We can breathe.

This is simply from my own experience of anxiety and fear, and my own practice of finding my way through it.

I’m still learning.

But I am learning that I don’t have to fight the fear or make it disappear.

I can notice it.

I can feel it.

I can stay with myself .

And slowly, I can come back home to myself.

We can come back home to ourselves.

It will take time and lots of practice, but we don’t have to do it all alone.

We are supported.

There’s a realisation I have come across recently.
Can we stop and surrender to the present moment?
We have been running after so many things in life—pushing, forcing, trying to make things happen. And sometimes, all that effort creates so much tension in us, physically and mentally.
Can we stop for a moment?
Can we pause and surrender to what is here?
In this moment, we are safe.
In this moment, we have what we need.
We have the courage to act, to run, to keep going.
But do we also have the courage to stop?
What is stopping us from stopping?
Is it the fear of being left behind?
The fear of failure?
The fear that if we stop, everything will fall apart?
Healing needs space to happen.
It is difficult to heal when we are constantly running.
I know it can be frightening to stop.
But maybe stopping is not falling behind.
Maybe stopping is listening.
Listening to the body.
Listening to the breath.
Listening to what is already here.
Can we listen?
Can we stop?
Can we trust this moment enough to simply be here? 🦋

There’s no separation.
We are all interconnected.
For a long time, I have been feeling that I am separate from my family, my culture. I felt unsupported and alone, even when I was growing up.
And this mindset is still present in my adulthood. I felt really hurt by this disconnection.
Recently, I realised that it’s impossible to be separated from my family, from my culture.

Without them, there’s no me.

When I look at myself, I see my whole family, my ancestors, my culture, the whole universe.

And from an even bigger perspective, when we see others, we see ourselves.

When we see a flower, a rock, a table, we see ourselves too.

We have always been supported by our family, our ancestors, our culture, the earth, and everything around us.

Because we are all interconnected.

There is no separation.

Every time I work with you,
I’m also working with myself.
Because we are one.

A lady came out of curiosity and didn’t share much. She just said her whole body felt sore.

When I listened to her body, her sacrum felt really locked, almost like it was twisting to the right. I waited until I could feel a little movement.

The PR potency was weak at first.

Both hips felt very tight and dense. There was a lot of organisation there, so I stayed and waited until I could feel the bones moving more freely with each breath.

Then I moved to L5.

It felt like a rock.

I waited.

I felt I needed to place my other hand under T9-T12 to find the balance. As I did, I saw a light green colour. Then her whole body softened and dropped into the table.
As I listened, I had a feeling that deep inside she wanted to be happy again, but didn’t know how. It also felt like she was longing for support.

Quietly, I spoke to her system.

“Let’s find what is already working. Your body can walk, move and see. There is already so much support here.”
After a while, L5 started to vibrate and I could feel heat coming out.

It felt like her body was saying,
“Please just hold me.”
When the session finished, she felt a little wobbly when she stood up.

I asked her if letting go was hard for her.

She said, “I was just thinking about that on the table.”

Then she shared that she always feels like she has to carry everything on her own because everyone else needs more support than she does.

When I asked her about support, she became teary.
This is why I love this work.

Sometimes people don’t tell the story.

Their body does.

--REFLECTION--
We have all that we have. Are we able to be enough of it?
There is already so much suffering in this world.
Do we really need to create more by constantly looking at what is missing?
I’m already a miracle.

We are all miracles.

Just being a human being is already such a blessing.
So can we focus on what is available to us, instead of what isn’t?

I grew up in a Christian family. Christian music was always playing at home. It always gave me a soothing feeling.

I never really questioned Christianity. Since I was born, I went to Christian primary and secondary schools. It was simply part of my life.

But because of travelling, different life experiences, and meeting different people, I started to question it.

What is religion?

At one point, I felt like I had abandoned religion. Looking back, I think it was because I felt trapped when I was growing up. So when I finally had freedom, I became like a wild horse and ran as far away as I could from my past.
/
Then, around 2020, religion came back into my life.

But this time, it felt different.
I became more open.
I realised there isn’t only one way. There are so many paths. They might look different on the surface, but many of them seem to be pointing towards the same thing, just in different languages.
So today, I love God, the Universe, Jesus and Buddha. To me, they are all great teachers.

Recently, I listened to a Christian song.
It said that when we are able to see the sky, don’t forget to thank God. It is a gift. A blessing. There are people who can’t even see their own hands. So when you look at the sky, look with your whole heart.
It also said that when we can hear the waves, don’t forget to thank God. It is a gift. There are people who can’t even hear their father’s voice. So when you stand by the ocean, listen with your whole heart.
It really touched me.
I realised I spend so much time focusing on what I don’t have, what I haven’t achieved, where I think I should be…

It naturally becomes comparison.

And comparison is exhausting.

But actually…

I’m already a miracle.

We are all miracles.

Just being a human being is already such a blessing.

So can we focus on what is available to us, instead of what isn’t?
/
This reminds me of one of the principles in craniosacral therapy.

We don’t only focus on what is wrong.

We orient towards health.

Health is always there. Even when someone is in pain, health hasn’t disappeared. We simply support it, nourish it, and trust that the body knows how to return towards balance.
There is already so much suffering in this world.

Do we really need to create more by constantly looking at what is missing?

Maybe we already have all that we have.

Feeling stressed, overwhelmed or carrying tension?
Reduced-rate Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
$75 / 60 min
🦋I am currently offering reduced-rate sessions as part of my ongoing advanced biodynamic craniosacral therapy training.

🦋What is Craniosacral Therapy?
A gentle, hands-on, non-invasive therapy that supports the nervous system, helping the body release tension and return to a natural state of balance and ease.

We listen to the subtle movements and rhythms within the body, including the natural motion of the tissues and bones. Through light touch, we create a sense of safety and space for the nervous system to settle.

As the body shifts from a state of flight-fight, freeze or protection into a calmer, more regulated state, it often begins to release tension naturally. We believe that when the body experiences stillness and safety, it can access its own innate capacity to heal and return toward balance.

🦋People often come for physical concerns such as stress, headaches, jaw tension, neck and shoulder tightness, fatigue, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life.

Beneath these symptoms, there is often a nervous system asking for rest, support, and regulation.

🦋My intention is to create a safe, gentle space where your nervous system can settle and your body can reconnect with its natural capacity to heal.
A space where you don't need to hide or pretend, just be and let your heart soften.
A space to return home.

"I have arrived. I am home."

Do you know our heart is divided into four chambers?

Hugh Milne, one of the most influential figures in craniosacral work, used the physical heart as a map for four qualities we can cultivate in our lives: Fullness, Openness, Clarity, and Strength.
💙Left Upper Chamber — Full Heart
Am I nourished?

This is the heart of joy, gratitude, creativity, playfulness, and connection.

Many of us spend so much energy giving, caring for others, and trying to achieve things. But when was the last time we asked ourselves:

"Am I allowing life to feed me?"

What fills my heart?
What brings me joy?
What challenge is helping me grow?
🧡Left Lower Chamber— Open Heart
Can I let life touch me?

An open heart is willing to feel, receive, learn, and be changed.

Sometimes the people who challenge us the most become our greatest teachers. They show us the places where we are still holding on, protecting ourselves, or unwilling to look.

An open heart doesn't say:

"I already know."

It says:

"Teach me."
💚Right Upper Chamber— Clear Heart
Can I see clearly?

Can I see what is really happening, rather than what I wish was happening?

Can I listen to my own inner wisdom?

A cloudy heart is always searching.

A clear heart listens.
💜Right Lower Chamber— Strong Heart
What am I willing to stand for?

This is not about fighting.

It is about having the courage to follow what feels true in your heart, even when it feels uncomfortable or uncertain.

What matters deeply to me?
What am I here for?
What am I willing to take a stand for?
🌿We all have these qualities within our hearts.
But through our life experiences, we learn to protect ourselves from being hurt. Slowly, we may close our hearts.

🌿In craniosacral work, we provide safety and space, allowing you to reconnect with these precious qualities within yourself — at your own pace, and within your own capacity.

To return balance.
To return home.

A heart that is full.
A heart that is open.
A heart that is clear.
A heart that is strong.

🦋I’m Kuri, originally from Hong Kong.

🦋I left home when I was 22, just after finishing my university degree. In many Asian cultures, taking time to travel after spending so much on education isn’t always understood.
But deep down, I knew there was something I had to explore.

🦋I went to Germany on my first working holiday, and for the first time, I experienced a sense of freedom—meeting different people, seeing different perspectives, and discovering a bigger world beyond what I had always known.

🦋After returning home, I left again for Japan. My family didn’t understand my choices. We argued many times. They told me I was selfish, that I didn’t love them enough.
That guilt stayed with me for years.
But deep down, I knew I had to follow my own path. I loved my family deeply, but I also knew I couldn’t grow if I stayed where I was.

🦋In 2019, I arrived in Australia. The moment I arrived, something inside me whispered, “This is the place I wanted to stay.”
But life brought me to a place I never expected. In 2020, I struggled deeply with anxiety, depression, and self-criticism. There were moments when the pain felt impossible to carry.

🦋With the support of beautiful friends, I slowly began turning inward. Meditation and spirituality became the beginning of my healing journey.

🦋I met my shadows, my fears, and the parts of myself I had spent years avoiding. There were many tears along the way, but through that process, I started discovering who I truly am.
And somehow, that journey led me here, to be a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy practitioner.

🦋Before this, I was a yoga teacher and massage therapist. I loved both, but what truly called me was creating a space where people feel safe, seen, and heard.
Because I know what it feels like to feel lost. I know what it feels like to be alone with your pain. And I know how meaningful it can be when someone simply sits beside you, without judgment, and holds a safe space.

🦋Most healing is something we do ourselves.
But we don’t have to walk the journey alone.
I’m still walking my own healing path, and I probably always will be.

🦋But I would love to walk alongside you, sharing what I’ve learned and supporting you as you reconnect with yourself.
Because when the body feels safe, it remembers its own capacity to heal.
