I woke up feeling tender today. I was examining a fear that was emerging inside of me. A fear of moving forward, a fear of going all in.
A fear of Trusting Life….
As I was examining the specific threads of this fear coming up in the moment.
And I asked my body:
“What are you afraid of here?”
I kept following the thread backwards,
And I ended up in a memory of significant trauma from my childhood.
I realized that this body memory has been somewhat unresolved, and is continuing to show up in my life and in my relationships as “bracing.”
Bracing for a negative impact
Bracing for trauma
Bracing for pain
This bracing is actually a huge problem.
While my soul knows how to trust,
and my soul wants to move forward.
My body is afraid and expecting massive pain and hurt to be imminent.
It’s amazing how unconscious these bracing and defending patterns can be.
They do actually live in our body and nervous system.
It is often these unconscious body memories that stop us and sabotage us from moving forward, being open, and trusting love and life completely.
Trust is VULNERABLE.
Life is VULNERABLE.
Love is VULNERABLE.
Being fully open is VULNERABLE.
When we have experienced past traumas,
These traumas can unconsciously dictate how we do and *do *not show up in every moment.
These unconscious fears of being hurt again will always inhibit us from being fully open and embracing life fully.
They happen so unconsciously and automatically, until we become aware of them.
When operating unconsciously…
these old unresolved traumas can show up as:
Self sabotage, dis-regulation, thoughts of fear, doubt, mistrust, dissociation, anxiety and so much more.
This is when our past self and conditioned responses begin driving the car of our lives.
Many people go through their entire lives living out this programming on repeating loops. 😢
