$I recently did a values exercise and uncovered that my top 3 values are Healing, Connection and Integrity. Healing to me, is about deeply understanding yourself, developing self-acceptance, self-compassion and self-love. Unconditioning to access your core authentic self. Mending wounds and trauma resolution so that we can move from surviving to thriving. It's about learning our yes and no, feeling worthy of our needs and safe to express our unique medicine out into the world. It's a mending of the soul fracture. It's a building of capacity and resource. Healing happens on an intrapersonal and interpersonal level. Healing the personal, intergenerational and collective. I believe we should all have access to healing. Connection is about relationship. Connection to body, to Self, to intuition, to inner child parts. Connection to other, to community. Connection to a higher power and connection to the earth. Connection is about seeing, acknowledging and harmoniously dancing with the pull and pull of relationship. Nothing shifts without connection. Nothing heals without connection. Integrity is about truth and doing what's right. It's about coherence with Self. It's about justice and transparency. It's not extractive or exploitative, but about consent. It's the inner anchor of self. It's turning towards the self, rather than away. It's the honouring of the yes and no. It allows time for the process. It doesn't manipulate or control but chooses trust, surrender and aligned action. It chooses its own path, rather than following the crowd. It uses intuition and critical thinking. It's honest. I see these 3 values all interlocking. Connection allows for access to integrity, which guides and supports healing within ourselves and the collective. Without connection, we can't be in integrity with truth or right and wrong. We won't have access to truth. We will self-abandon to stay safe. And here in lies the nuance. We also need healing to be in integrity, and we need integrity to heal. Connection allows for healing, which supports integrity. Being in integrity doesn't always feel safe, and as we heal, we access more safety through the connection with our body. ⬇️⬇️⬇️$
