Holding the Holders

Holding the Holders

I have the fortune of working with some of the most powerful, heart-centered, strong women, femmes, and people I can imagine. These particular people have been praised for their strength, and they value it in themselves, as they well should. These are the kinds of people that are containing our individual and collective fields by transmuting the reverberations of the fracturing and collapse of our society. They are mothers, caretakers, partners, friends, teachers, healers, artists, and more. They feel it all, and they consciously practice letting their feelings move through their bodies to be alchemized. It is an honor to witness and hold space for them in my work.

These holders support others in containing and riding the waves of their overwhelm. This builds resilience in the nervous system, so over time those that have been held by the holders may be able to offer that holding to others.

What’s also true is that the holders need to be held.

Waves of Healing - Guided Audio Meditation

Did you know the words heal and whole share etymological roots? Believe it or not, healing energy is flowing everywhere all the time. (And if you don’t believe it, I invite you to get curious about how your body and breath hold on to that thought.) It is something we can connect to, and it connects us all in wholeness. It is not something that must, or even could, be generated by our sweet, messy, little human will power, even if we tried (though bless us for trying). It is something to be accessed, and we access it best by continuously clearing all of the many intricate strategies we have developed over time that interfere with it. 

Not Yours to Carry

The deeper I go into my Family Constellations facilitator training, the more I understand how my life’s work is in part to help people release what is no longer theirs to carry in order to move more freely forward into their future. I offer you this meditation in that spirit.
