Allowing asks less of you than controlling does. But it rarely feels that way at first. A body that has been gripping for a long time reads open as unsafe before it learns to read it as rest. So the wobble isn't a failure of trust. It's just the stretch before the new thing settles. Thank you for this one, Licia.
The invitation to stop resisting what is and gently expand into it feels both grounding and freeing. Pema Chödrön’s words pair so perfectly with this reflection.
Thank you for creating space to trust the unfolding instead of rushing the outcome.
@Florence Acosta Thank you for reading and commenting. I appreciate it! And it’s so true “growth happens long before we recognize it” — isn’t it wild to get to a place where the unfolding is finally recognizable and thinking to ourselves “WOW. Look at how far I’ve come.”
