A time of social crisis
Covid, Inequality, Climate Change
Wicked problems
A time of personal turmoil
Traumas, conditioning, beliefs and soul loss
Everything stirred up
Old patterns and aspects of personality asserting themselves
To protect us using the only ways they know
Fight, flight, fix, freeze
We want to know what is going to happen, and what to do
On high mental alert
Feeling the stresses
Tense, anxious, dissociated
Contracted
All leading to greater separation
From Pachamama
From Lifeforce, Creation, the Divine
And thus we are adrift and lost
Unsupported
The key is softness
Sinking into openness and receptivity
Inner softness
Our desire for stimulants (physical, chemical, digital) decreases
All our muscles yawn into relaxation
Our heart pulses and breath wooshes – throughout our entire body / being
Outer softness
Our world becomes more vivid – colours pop with soft edges
Sunshine pours into us, and rain washes through
Time sits quietly in its reflecting pool
We become soft enough to feel the gentle and supportive embrace of Pachamama
Radical softness
