Journey with me through an Ayahuasca ceremony last weekend, where I learned how to open to a distressing situation.  We can't choose openness if we don't know how to operate from this place.

We must first start to rewire our nervous system states through others, and then, only...

To find healing in our food relationship we must create balance between these two, the masculine and the feminine. And not only balance  but how to tap into the sacred masculine and feminine rather than the trauma responses and the unhealthy masculine and feminine. While in our unhealthy masculine there is too much rigidity with boundaries or not enough flexibility. While in our unhealthy feminine...
