Trust Your Feet

Do you remember your first step? Or the last time you were carried? I couldn't until recently. I have been learning to trust my feet again. Every step is a practice in trust. Each step is a reminder of process and patience. You truly cannot run before you walk, and in order to get to faster movements you have to take your time.

This morning when my feet touched the ground I felt a familiar feeling-

RESISTANCE

I had to make the conscious, intentional, decision to not revert to old, painful patterns. I gave myself permission to go slowly with my movements while honoring the memory of the movements it required to get here. After that, it was time to make room for the expansiveness of this new version of myself. I began slowly stretching and moving into my body while the sun shared it's warmth with me. The message that continued to find me during my flow was:

TRUST & SURRENDER

Believe the wisdom you possess. Each step is a practice. Rehabilitation takes time. Give yourself room to grow.
Do I truly believe? Do I have faith that I won't fall? And even if I do, do I remember I will rise again?
