Going home can be great...or it can be an endurance test of all the healing you've done 👇
I'm back in my hometown for a family funeral and it's been a really unique pressure test for all the work I've done to break the patterns I've learned while growing up here.
I can confirm...this s**t works.
Now, I'm by no means perfect or completely immune to my family hijinks, but I am much MUCH better at recognizing the boundaries between myself and others, and noticing when those old patterns I hate are rearing their ugly heads.
I can even halt the progression, take a few breaths (maybe mutter my snarky comments where they can't hear just to get them out), and reenter an interaction centered in myself and who I actually want to be.
Human Design and Reiki both have given be invaluable understanding for how each of us is meant to operate, how energy flows and tools to face the difficult moments from a place grounded in stability and compassion.
So, tell me...where do you find yourself slipping into old patterns?
