Healing is often less about the action we take + more about the space we create.

There’s a place for action, of course -- but in my experience, doing (+ the idea that doing is the only way I fix things + make progress) can often get in the way, blocking the energy that needs to move through me in weird, wild, and unpredictable ways.

Earlier this week, I talked to my therapist about the insurrection, and the session was mostly my incoherent rambling.

I acknowledged at one point in our conversation that my all-over-the-place ranting reflected the jumbled + not-at-all-put-together state of my psyche at the moment.

And he simply responded by saying that my jumbled psyche was exactly what we were there to explore + make room for.

So I kept talking + shaking + feeling + ranting -- and it helped. It created flow + cleared space.

And space + flow were what I needed.

In my experience, an action plan -- especially in situations like these -- is often my attempt to control + repress my primal energies + embodied instincts that actually need to move + unfold in ways that aren’t at all linear or rational.

Because what’s alive inside of us carries deep, healing power -- especially when we let it do its work + magic in us.

How might you trust + make space for what’s real + alive within you? How might you welcome the healing powers of your deepest, truest energies?
