Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • The part is ready to let the weight go and now I’m at the actual moment of release
  • The part has been deeply seen now and I can feel it’s close to letting go of what it’s held all these years
  • The burden is finally gone and there’s this open, empty space where it used to live
  • I had this real release a while back, but lately under stress I can feel that old part getting heavy again and I’m scared the whole thing failed
  • Every thought lands like a solid thing sitting in front of me demanding I deal with it right now
