Playing with Energy for Boundaries and Giving/Receiving
In the complicated yet simple dance of being with other humans,
How we experience centeredness and security in our own selves impacts how we give and receive with others.
Perhaps you feel the emotions of those around you.
A potential for overwhelm because there are So Many Feelings run amok.
Perhaps you give more and more and more, hoping for a return.
Perhaps you hide from the world, living on defense, only giving a smidge.
For good reason, people have taken from you.
Culture, work, family, friends - take and take and take.
Or perhaps you yourself need so much:
From a depth of not enoughness - not enough love, care, attention
When you were powerless and needed unconditional love
That desperation to get your needs met still lives in you.
It's all understandable.
No one is the bad guy.
We all have parts of us out of balance in one way or another
or many ways.
We all have childhood trauma of one kind or another.
We all see and feel the trauma around us constantly.
It's the air we live and breathe.
We bring more health by awareness, through play, through curiosity, through our imagination.
We bring more health by healing.
We heal by attending to our emotions and our energy.
Energy underpins everything. Everything is made of energy.
Emotions
Thoughts
Beliefs
Actions
Matter and form of this world.
We'll play with energy and boundaries, giving and receiving, imaginal and felt and material.
Chocolate and scarves will be involved, writing and yoga props. Intention and gentle movement. (not yoga, fyi)
A small group - so far we are six, room for up to ten.
Saturday March 2nd, 12-1:30, Wildlight Yoga

In practical terms - we all have boundaries. Some of these are spoken, some of them are energetic. If you feel out of balance in your boundaries, your sense of self, your ability to give and receive, Aura Explore is a playground to explore both the concepts and the sensed experience of boundaries.
I find that the more centered I am in my energy boundaries - the more inner agreement I have with all my parts around such boundaries - the less I need to say. As I grow towards more inner agreement, boundaries exude with simplicity, with being. And then if I need to "set" a boundary, speaking with calm and clarity becomes more natural. Sometimes, these boundaries become explorations, curiosities, a naming of needs and seeing where the needs and requests intersect and can flow together. I'm a work in progress around boundaries for sure, and its a relief to feel that progress happening!
I'm truly so excited to play and flow with some of you on Saturday!
With love,
marta
