EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS TERRIBLE

this chapter goes hard from the beginning jesus this woman is not fucking around

"Without boundaries, natural excitement gets dissipated and diluted and becomes ineffectual. When we lose our ground, our attention wanders and we appear vague and insubstantial." 😅😅😅

"...the issue of trust vs. mistrust becomes a basic experience of your very self. This is your first vague sense of whether or not you are glad to be here." oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"If our instinctual impulses do not get us the things we need in order to survive, we learn to distrust or ignore them, and simultaneously perceive the world as hostile. To distrust our basic instincts is to put ourselves at odds with the deep core of our physical being."

"Technological birth, in which the infant is pulled out into bright lights, spanked, and separated from the mother, is such a shock to our ancient nervous systems that the experience is an assault to our neurological sense of ground." biggest oof 😰

hey guys fun fact about me: when i was ~1 my dad moved to singapore a year ahead of me and my mom for job reasons and we didn't join him for another year after that 🙃 my mom told me that when we joined him i didn't recognize him anymore and cried

"Abandonment threatens our survival. It makes us feel unwanted, and we doubt our right to be here." "Or we may accept abandonment too readily, and interpret the slightest criticism or mood change from our partner as a signal that we are unwanted."

"Each one clung to the security of what they had, essentially putting their energy in a holding pattern that provided false security. Without basic trust, they all feared change." "Abandonment by others also creates a tendency to abandon oneself." D:

HOSTILE EATING SITUATIONS

both of my parents grew up during the cultural revolution 😬

"This is the hallmark of a deficient first chakra: the body is deadened and the consciousness is elevated, creating a profound mind-body split. An adult with damaged ground is usually plagued by a terrible sense that something is wrong, but cannot identify what it is."

"I gave Mary assignments in self-care, oriented toward basics like eating and sleeping. I recommended that she get a massage each week, take walks frequently, and indulge in pleasurable things like long, hot baths." nice 🥲

lots of nice little bits here. "Dream images may hold a lot of charge, and this charge may spontaneously arise in the body as one discusses his dream. Truth also has a charge, especially when it has been previously hidden, as if a gate opens in the body."

"Deficient first chakra types need to discover their ground. They respond well to working while standing and using exercises that charge the body... They need encouragement to form themselves and maintain that form, which can be strengthened through challenge." hmmmm

this is probably less relevant to me personally but the claims about physiognomy are interesting in a general way. "The body is more likely to be large and dense" etc. is interesting. "Physical movements such as dancing, walking, swimming, or simply stretching" probably good
