“You want to fast from something for Lent? Fast from your story."

-Cynthia Bourgeault

Peaceful, Centered + Connected

There is an aspect of myself that has been so conditioned by the fight or flight response as an operative mode of living that it is even afraid of what's good, peaceful, and calm because the latter is so foreign to my nervous system. Dysfunction can take root for so long that healthy function and the reality of safety become foreign and feel threatening. Lately, Love has been whispering, "It is safe. You don't have to run. You can sit here and let the frightened parts burn away."

Let me tell you what that's been like. It's been horrible and wonderful.

Horrible because as the Wisdom within rises and tells me to stay when I would have typically fled, pressure builds up in my body and becomes nearly unbearable. It finds its way to my head and pushes against my skull. It takes everything within me to stay present in the discomfort and not abandon the process altogether. I trust the Wisdom and recognize her. I breathe deeply through the sensations; the pressure liquifies into tears.

It's been wonderful because, on the other side, I feel a release - lighter, freer, and more settled in my knowing.

I can't lean to logic or reason why this is happening to me at this time. Perhaps the why of it is not any of my business, but I do feel compelled to write about it and share the experience with you.

Perhaps what the world needs most when it turns upside down is people willing to burn from the inside out.

May Wisdom rise.

With you on the journey.

Grace + Ease,

Tia

​​A New Way to See the Good News

A new way to see the Good News offers a short passage that may offer a fresh perspective or insight into the ancient collection of poems, letters, and stories known as the Bible.

"When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to the one who put all things in subjection under him, so that God may be all in all."

⎻ 1 Corinthians 15:28
