Roots of Mother Tree

There are moments when the mind feels clear, inspired, even relieved and the body says, not yet.  You might have touched something true. You might have crossed a threshold.  You might have felt connected, open, alive.  And then, days or weeks later, emotion rises.

Anger. Grief. Tenderness. Fatigue.
A sense of being undone rather than resolved.

​

We’re taught to read this as a problem As regression. As something that didn’t “work.” But this is often how the body remembers. The nervous system does not integrate through insight alone. It integrates through time, safety, rhythm, and relationship.  The body speaks in sensation and mood long after the mind has moved on. Nothing has gone wrong. This is not the mind failing to stay positive.

This is the body catching up to truth.

​

What we call integration isn’t a personal task.... it’s an ecosystem.

​

Bodies don’t heal in isolation. The body softens when you are witnessed. When we allow our breath to move to the next breath. When eyes are meeting without demand.

​

These are not luxuries. They are regulatory forces. This is why community matters. Not as a social identity, but as a nervous system resource. Not to fix one another, but to remember ourselves together.

​

Large language models like ChatGPT are not meant to be used as a dependant resource, nor should it be.  When we start to outsource our creativity, emotions, spirituality to something with no soul we will sooner lose ourselves than find ourselves. 

​

February is not a month that asks for clarity. It asks for companionship and re-connection. So if your body feels heavy, reactive, quiet, or slow... let it be.

You are not behind.
You are not missing the lesson.
You are in the middle of the remembering.

​

Use your beautifully desined divine gifts of processing, discernment, feeling, listening to what it true, what is needed and what is moving. 

Stay connected with your inner rhythms. Speak to someone REAL if you are feeling unworthy , lost or sad. Someone who will hold your hand and say "you are loved no matter what" . Let their tone and vibration of their actual voice ring into your ears and be felt in your cells. 

​

​

I’ll leave you with a small devotion for this month.  Nothing to improve you. Just something to stay with....

​

Place one hand on your heart and one on your belly.
Feel the temperature of your palms.
Notice one sensation without explaining it.

Take one breath that doesn’t try to change anything.

Let that be enough for today.

If you’re longing to experience this kind of remembering in shared space , through movement, rhythm, or simple presence , you’re always welcome in the circle.

With warmth and steadiness,
