Balancing lines.. don't run to the forest

Last week, I met my own trauma. Again. WHAT!! You know the feeling.

My body shakes and freezes. I stopped. My diaphragm was working double shift up and down. Yet, it felt like it was locked in. No breath at all. My coccyx and lumbar muscles pulled all my lower back into a clench. I felt wretched and I had a feeling someone wrench me with tool at the back of my lower spine. Sometimes got tighthen. The fear and insecurity I experienced in this moment were enormous. 

In the movie “ Back to the Future, “ Remember!! When he gets transported from the past to the future moment.. I thought to myself, this sh…t is real.

5 years ago, in that moment. I would run to the FO-REST . At the end of a day, it’s not a bad idea, with my shoulders closing my heart's center. Slouched off forwards.

Today, in the present moment, I have a CHOICE: to stay below the line and play a victim or move above the line and win this run. 

That’s where the game changed!!

I want to speak up about inner leadership, a self-regulatory practice that saved my time and life many times. 

To this day, I am blown away by how these practices enhance and shift my experience and how I show up in and relate to the world. These foundational concepts are powerful tools and embodiment practices that, with consistent attention, become allies and friends.

    “Living above and Bellow the Line”

      It begins with you…

     Can you bring yourself back to the moment when a situation arises that you or others can’t find a solution to, or in which you or someone else felt powerless in their lives, or when you held a negative viewpoint that brought your energy and attitude down?

     If you’ve ever been in denial about a situation or lacked a creative solution to a problem, do you remember how you felt when you were complaining, projecting blame inwards or outwards, making excuses, or feeling a sense of entitlement? Wanting to run free or flee?

     This default attitude is called ‘living below the line’.

     What is ‘living above the line’?

     It’s the opposite of ‘living below the line’. It’s taking ownership of your life, being accountable for it, and taking responsibility[…]”

“It recognises that you have the power to change yourself and the results in your life. The concept becomes ever more powerful when we attune with our felt-senses and give more presence and attention to them when we are experiencing the problem situation live or as we anticipate or recollect it before or after the event.

Let this picture paint a vision that you don't have to stay there. You have a CHOICE.

Take it. Apply it and Share it. Make it yours.
