  1. [ Malatentigo ]

    Aŭ ok, aŭ dek ok, aŭ okdek, universale grandaj maŝinoj certe tenas tiron je la infanon ene ni.

    Ĉu tio estas ĉar infanoj sentas sin tute kontroliĝitaj kaj senpovaj kaj etaj en mondo desegnita, kaj de, kaj por, plenkreskuloj?

  2. Dedicated to my former troubled teen self - who didn't love herself enough & allowed peers to pollute my precious young heart & mind. Gratitude for how much I've grown, since 🙌❤️🙏

  6. Why unicorns?
    My reward for going into town when I have to stop at the farm store in what I call "big town" (which it really isn't, though it's the largest town in the county) is to buy a couple of Breyer blind bag unicorns. I feel around the bag, trying to make sure I get one of each, though last time I got two of the same, darn it! Someone needs to make a LibraryThing app f

  7. I have to admit I thought long and hard about including the 1st photo in this post as I look and felt so vulnerable but then I realised that I should because that’s the whole point.
    Vulnerable is exactly how I’m feeling and have been feeling for a good week and that feeling will be high up there until after my birthday on the 23rd of this month. Now that I’m exploring my feelings instead of ignoring them, I’m aware that I feel this way every year. My birthday has always been tied up with feelings of rejection, pain and loss. I can honestly say I haven’t had many birthdays at all that have been joyful but those years that were I hold very dear because they are so rare.
    I have decided to pick through all of the pain so that I can finally find peace, hopefully. As birthdays are supposed to be celebrations (so I’m told) I would like for this one to be the last painful one.
    This morning I found a bubble blower and I sat feeling extremely vulnerable and I blew bubbles. I connected with my always sad and confused inner child and let her feel peace. The chirping of the birds, the sun on her skin, the beauty of the bubbles in the sunshine and that magical popping sound. No pressure, no anything, just being exactly in the moment of beauty and wonder. I think allowing my inner child out is key to healing, she went through so much and deserves to feel joy, laughter and freedom to be her without judgement. I say without judgement because it’s something I’ve always done since I was a child and it’s stifled me as an adult.
    I have a week or so to figure out how but I’m going to try and let this birthday be one for my inner child, to see if I can help us to heal. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthjourney #healing #healingfromtrauma #healingisaprocess #innerchild #innerchildtherapy #therapy #findingjoy #findingpeace #workinprogress

  8. My mental health is on the floor lately trying to keep body and soul together is a massive challenge. Even on the worst of days there is always that little spark in me, desperate to cling on to life, that tells me to find something, anything that will get me to see in another day and to keep fighting even if I just get out of the front door and figure it out from there. Yesterday was brutal and was almost one of those days were all I can do is stare at the bedroom wall whilst I wallow in bed but something in me forced myself up and out of the door. I take help, advice and suggestions wherever I can, my daughter is a very wise soul who can read me like a book and usually knows what is best for me in that moment, even when I don’t. Yesterday it was letting go, finding my voice and my inner child (something I find extremely difficult, I was very serious as a child for reasons and wasn’t childlike at all, so trying to find an inner child that is barely there is hard). @emily_ruby08 helps me to let go, be silly and be actually me. We screamed, whooped, smashed sheets of ice (our very own rage room) and laughed a lot. I’m so proud of how capable she is at recognising and managing her own mental health, knowing what she needs and having no fear at all in asking for it, I want to be her when I grow up. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthawareness #rage #scream #shout #findyourvoice #ask #ptsd #complextrauma #therapy #innerchild #innerchildtherapy #besilly #daughtergoals

  9. "But just as the suffering is present in every cell of our body, so are the seeds of awakened understanding and happiness handed down to us from our ancestors. We just have to use them. We have a lamp inside us, the lamp of mindfulness, which we can light anytime. The oil of that lamp is our breathing, our steps, and our peaceful smile." - #ThichNhatHanh lionsroar.com/healing-the-chil

  10. CW: Mental Health, Religious Trauma, Shadow Work

    Something I've learned on my #ShadowWork #journey is that just because you moved on from something doesn't mean you necessarily found #healing.

    My husband & I moved away from my home town for about 7 years. I mentioned it previously, but I grew up in a pretty strict religious household that caused me a lot of #religious #trauma. While we were away, I truly thought I moved on from everything in the past. I never dwelled on it or felt like I was carrying weight from it. But the year we moved back, it hit me like a ton of bricks on a deep #subconscious level.

    Last year when we moved back, for months I had dreams relating to my traumas growing up. It all started with a dream where a dream character asked if I wanted to be blessed. Of course I said yes, who wouldn't want to be blessed?😂 But when she blessed me, it was like she expanded my awareness & my perception shifted inward. I could see & feel this intense dark cloud of icky energy inside me, & from the inside out I could hear myself screaming.

    I woke up from that dream & after that I could feel that icky cloud of energy stuck in my #SolarPlexus #Chakra, I had awful #IntrusiveThoughts for awhile & often felt like I needed to throw up to purge the energy. I don't think the dream character put that dark energy there, I think she just made me conscious of what was always there & I had finally grown enough on my journey to be able to start healing it, so that dream brought that energy to the surface for easier release.

    Over the next several months I had other dreams that all were connected to this process. I talked with my mom about it & the resentment I had towards my dad for religion related things that really hurt me in my upbringing. She said some things that really spoke to my #InnerChild that I needed to hear, & it helped me purge a lot of trapped emotional energy.

    #EFT #Tapping was something that helped to bring about a #breakthrough moment as well. I did one specifically for #InnerChildHealing and this helped tremendously and caused a shift. It was like I could perceive myself as two different energies residing in one body; my child self, & my present self.

    After 9 months of regular shadow work & a #reiki session, I feel like I've finally & truly resolved that aspect of my life & feel at #peace with the past, that was finalized with a dream & a release #ritual.

    In this dream, I was standing in an open field on a cliff, just exploring, & I saw a beautiful butterfly fluttering towards me. It landed on me and stayed with me & I was so excited, it was like I made a new friend. I kept exploring with it, & there were moments it flew away & I was afraid I lost it, but it always came back to me & never left for long. I brought the butterfly to show my parents, & they both admired it. It sat on my hands, opened its wings & displayed it's unique colors; red on the top, white underneath. But then my father looked away, as though he were distracted by something & his awareness was elsewhere. While he was unaware, he grabbed the butterfly & crushed it like it was a piece of paper. This killed the butterfly, & I was so angry at my father for killing it. I told him I hated him for it. I don't remember any more of the dream, but when I woke up from it I realized what I needed to do.

    I needed to forgive my father for what happened in the past, for killing that aspect of inner child, because he never intended to hurt me. That was apparent in the dream. His awareness was a elsewhere, #religion made him blind to a lot and he is not able to see the damage it has caused. I was bitter about it for a long time but I realize now that religion really does blind people. They can have the best intentions, but once religion takes hold of one's mind, it becomes a shackle & people don't see clearly anymore, they only see through the lens of religion. This realization softened me, & part of me mourns for my father, because of how much religion has robbed from his life & his time with family.

    So I made a #butterfly that looked like the one in my #dream, & on the underside I wrote down everything I was ready to release, & burned it. I forgave my father for the past, took the ashes outside, & buried them. Then I created a brand new butterfly, representing the start of a new journey of exploration myself & my inner child will now explore together. This experience was a #metamorphosis, necessary preparation for the start of a new era. 🦋

    This is how I've come to learn that just because we move on from something doesn't mean we have healed from the pain or released it. A lot of times we just repress & forget about it. I think #spirit removes layers of #repression when we finally reach a place in our journey & #consciousness that we're ready to handle those things resurfacing.

    Shadow work is one of the most painful but rewarding experiences. It's a journey of going inward, into the darkness & bringing the light back in. 🌟
