Restoration Invitation: Systems versus States
Restoration Invitation is a bite-size invitation to restore your untapped potential and find balance within your mind, body, and soul for deeper more transformative growth and healing
Systems Versus States
Picture an ocean. On that ocean a storm is raging, and its surface is choppy, foamy chaos. While these threatening conditions continue above, deep below, a gentle, undulating calm resides. This undulating calm is your innermost Self, and like the ocean, your body/mind/spirit can experience states of both chaos and calm simultaneously.
It is possible to be centered in your safety/connection system, while experiencing states of activation/mobilization! When activation energy is present, energy gets re-routed, so these practices below focus on intentionally routing energy back to the safety/connection system.
