I am not seeing the replay for week 3.
I am seeing week 2 in the replay spot of week 3.
I would love to review week 3, since I was so out of it during class time.
Thank you!

How do you want them to treat you, when you are cold?

Awareness Exercise

Take some time to write your answers to the following questions:

-As you write-also notice your body responses and record any physical sensations and emotional awareness’s as well as you ponder and write about these questions:
 
•            Are you able to ask for help when you need care and WARMTH?
•            How are you with vulnerability (your own and others)
and how does that show up for you?
•            How do you want to be treated when you need help and are vulnerable?
 
Imagine you are a child and you are cold….

1.   You go to someone who you know, and you are very cold…
and they look at you and They DO NOT notice how you are feeling from your body language, facial expression, or behavior

•         What are some of the things they might say to you that lets you know they Do NOT see you?

•         What are some inaccurate reflections they could share with you?

 
2.               You go to someone you do know, and they look at you and THEY DO Notice how you are feeling from your body language, facial expression, behavior

o What are some of the things they might say to you to let you know they Do see you?

o What are some accurate reflections they could share with you?


Accurate reflection is the process of understanding someone’s body tone, cadence, patterning of thought, and meaning through the act of embodying a reflection of their communication.
We can embody anther’s communication; words, sounds, feeling tone, movement expression and meaning, so they can see, feel, and hear themselves reflected through our being.

We can reflect one another with:

In Movement
In Feeling Tone
In Language
In Meaning
In Prosody
In Tempo
In Breathing Patterning
In Somatic Embodiment

Sometimes we have to get it wrong to get it right..
At all times, prioritize connection over “rightness” or “wrongness”, by seeking to understand and clarify perceptions in collaboration with one another…

Maternal Matrix Messages

 1 –   I love you.
 2 –   I want you.
 3 –   You are special to me.
 4 –  I see you and I hear you.
 5 –   It is not what you do but who you are that I love.
 6 –   I love you, and I give you permission to be different from me.
 7 –   I’ll take care of you.
 8 –   I’ll be there for you; I will be there even when we die.
 9 –   You don’t have to be alone anymore.
10 –  You can trust me.
11 –  You can trust your inner voice.
12 –  Sometimes I will tell you “no”, and that’s because I love you.
13 –  You don’t have to be afraid anymore.
14 –  My love will make you well.
15 –  I welcome and cherish your love
 
To work with these messages
·     Look at a photo of your young baby/toddler self and recognize yourself and this is the part of you that you are talking with
·     Say out loud the message, and do your best to feel the message in your heart…sometimes a hand or a ‘heart hug’ helps with this
·     Write the words down and look at them…. after you know them write them with your non-dominate hand.
·     Really let yourself cherish that little one that you were when you were not met, and meet yourself now, with what you needed then.
