What Happens when We Explore the Territory of Safety and Discomfort?

Here is my 5th piece in my blog series on Discomfort.  In my upcoming 2021 Exploration we will learn how life altering it is to Know safety with/in our being, so that we do not have to try to control that which is outside of ourselves in order to “have” safety, and we will learn how to support others in discovering this as well.

Moving through Discomfort

In the first blog piece on discomfort, I wrote about how we often unintentionally conflate discomfort with wrongness, and the importance and significance of befriending discomfort. In the second piece I explore the topic of internalized oppression - which includes living from our internal narratives of should, supposed tos, and so on, which create a push/pull fighting dynamic inside of our self.
