Contract One
I Will Know Myself

Know the movements of my own heart.
Know my nervous system.
Know my shadows.
Know my gifts.
Know what expands me.
Know what contracts me.

The beginner’s mind keeps me humble enough to listen to science, to mystics, to children, to great teachers, to the wisdom of my own body, and to the quiet intelligence of nature.
Curiosity keeps despair from becoming permanent.

Intentional time with the self. A place to sit, a plan for a short practice, books of wisdom, music, a mat, a journal… bring some of these with you. Don’t over commit-10 minutes? 20? Routinely being there for yourself with an attitude of self love, self care, rejuvenation…How do you show up for yourself? .

Patterns are the language of the divine. Cells, the cosmos, sacred geometry are reflections of one another. It is in me. I am in it.

Ceremonial medicines can change your perspective. Integration changes your life. Without grounding, even profound insight slowly fades beneath the demands of everyday life. Real transformation happens when the experience of spirit medicines are treated as doorways to walk through with curiosity and commitment to do the work on the other side. Acupuncture, Somatic Breathing, meditation and compassionate conversation are powerful ways to help integrate. The Medicine Opens the Door: We can walk beside you on the other side.

Cutting flowers and placing them in a vase, tidying up, playing my favorite summer music, and easily moving through my day off. I choose to keep it simple, quiet, and restful today.

How do we know ourselves? What do the various forms of ourselves look like in the rear view mirror? Is the view pleasing and received with compassion and love or with a grimace? Shift your story about your past. Love all of it.

These words invite us into the practice of radical self-awareness. The parts of ourselves we reject—our fear, grief, anger, sensitivity, and unmet needs—do not disappear; they wait to be seen and welcomed home. Awareness transforms judgment into curiosity, and curiosity dissolves the illusion that some parts of us are worthy of love while others are not. In this non-dual space, we remember that healing is who we already are.

We spend so much time feeling unsafe that we forget how it feels to be safe. Finally finding a practice that brings me to an experience of safety has saved my life. Returning again and again to that practice provides me with longer periods of resting in safety. Suddenly I see how, in the presence of safety, new ways of relating to people take root. Relationships deepen and nourish me.
