Japan - a trip that turned into a deep dive 🇯🇵
The past 2 weeks I’ve been taking in so much new while also integrating so much old. As much as I would like to tell you that this trip to Japan was a dream come true, I must admit that even though it was that, it ended up being so much more.
Within these 2 weeks I got my bleed, caught a cold (which ended up becoming a big purge) and my ankle started hurting stopping me from exploring. With the physical symptoms came the deep dive into the emotional underworld. I sat with old thought patterns and unexpressed emotions. I faced parts of me that wanted to give up. I held the parts of me that needed holding. I cried the tears that had been held in. There was resistance, frustration, anger and grief. But through the simple act of being able to stay with these emotions, they started to shift and bring clarity to the surface. And the integration continues especially now that I’ve landed back home. The person I was before this trip doesn’t exist any longer - and for that I’m grateful.
What has been coming up for me lately again and again is truth as my core value. I have zero interest in performing, pretending that everything is only good or trying to fit into boxes any longer. I’m interested in the whole truth; the good, the bad and the ugly. During this process of owning my ability to feel and sense deeply I’ve also had to own my emotional depth. The ability to sense and feel life so fully. And where it has felt like a disadvantage before, I’m starting to feel the gift that comes with having a deeply attuned and sensitive system. The shift has been real and I’m so looking forward to seeing what’s going to unfold from here on.
Life has been wild since February, things are unfolding at a different speed. And I have a feeling that June won’t be any different.
How is life treating you? Have you experienced shifts recently?💫
