What’s your ‘safety story’?

Could you allow a pause

A moment to breathe and wonder

‘What’s your safety story?’

One of mine was: ‘If I think about all of the bad things that could happen then they won’t.’

This thought-pattern exhausted me and created a world that felt unsafe .

Unraveling that story and many more was one of the most courageous things I did .

Thankfully I was surrounded by love and deep holding while I looked inside in a way that I didn’t know was possible.

And allowed me to finally be me .

This, my love, is what I desire for you and is exactly why Kate Barsby and myself have created The Cherished Mother .

Ready to go deeper?

Ready to look inside?

Your heart will be safe so please reach out .

Lots of love

Janet.

More on safety stories by Kate, below:


Do you have a continuous ‘safety-story’ running in your head about what you should or shouldn’t be doing, how you should or shouldn’t be showing up in the world? Would you love it to be quieter, to feel more comfortable in your own skin, and quieter in your head?

We all run these safety-stories to some degree; they constituted a vital part of our survival when we were small. Working out what’s the right way to be and do in the world was something each of us did exhaustively as children (and for extremely good reason, to ensure to the best of our capacity that we were loved and cared for and safe). 

Yet, as adults, that same’ safety-story’ which says we have to be or do in a certain way, to be ‘good enough’, to be accepted, to be loved, can become inhibiting, limiting, and processing it day in day out, downright exhausting.

Exploring the Sovereign Self (the aspect of us which can create ‘internal safety’) is a vital part of what we do in The Cherished Mother Go Deeper, because until Sovereign aspect of ourselves is known and embodied, the external ‘safety-story’ will continue on repeat, exhausting you, and limiting your capacity to get on and feel and *be in life*, freely, ‘safely’, in the way you long to.
