How to create a rocking support system (and stay nourished in a changing world).

In a world where so many are struggling to stay afloat.

How do we maintain ourselves, our sanity and our vitality?

How do we thrive rather than simply survive, in a changing world?

I have the answer for you!

Layers of holding!

That is: layers of supportive networks.

Like the root system of a tree that connects to the root system of other trees. We also need this kind of holding within supportive structures.

And these days; due to increasing pressures and challenges, we need to be sustained & supported by various forces, on multiple levels.

Do you have multiple support systems installed in your life? if yes then well done! 

If you do not, I share some tips below on how to create that.

1. Commit to yourself.

 It begins with this:

A willingness to recognise that by taking care of your body and your energetics, you are making space to show up in life in a more full way

It is important to be really clear on your 'why' because creating these structures requires commitment: you need to know you are worth it, and be fully committed to creating a super supported life.

2. Look at your patterns around giving & receiving.

Especially for women, it is important that we are not stuck in old paradigm patterns of over giving and under receiving (or any other funky blockages to the flow of giving and receiving). 

Be active in clearing any beliefs of not deserving and keep on affirming your place in a wider field of energies. If this is something you struggle with I really recommend my  Shift your shame journey it is highly affordable and guides you how to do this.

3. Ask for what you need (skilfully).

Yes you need to ask for what you need, and yes you need to be clear on how and where the request comes. If its coming from a clear space within you, unloaded by expectation, then your requests are a beautiful manifestation of self love.

So find your words and ways for inviting the people in your life, and the universe, to support you.

4. Be generous in a way that is true for you.

Generosity takes many forms

Personally I am honoured to have some very generous people in my life who teach me so much about the spirit of generosity. I also can see that my energy levels & bandwidth are unique, that I am not one of those types with boundless reserves, often what I give is the level of presence that I have cultivated. I have learnt to value what I have and give what I can.

Notice when you are feeling drained and use that as a sign that you need to adjust the ways that you are giving.

5.  Create your own personal cocktail of holding.

There are so many ways to be supported, your layers of holding will be unique for your individual constitution and your current needs

 Some 'essential ingredients' for a super supported life :include:

-  Self cultivation practices

This can take many forms, these are the ways that you maintain your base level of energy & connect to the universal field of chi.

-  Community love

Connecting to others offers us nervous system regulation & a sense of family; which is vitally important for being a healthy human Fortunately these days there are various ways to connect to a sense of community whether you are close to your family of origin or not.

-  Nature communion

Mother nature is the ultimate nurturer. Her healing energy is available for everyone. Daily nature communion is a must in a high tech world. Go for walks, hang out with trees, make a garden, and if you can, lay on the earth directly.

-  Personal holding

Being heard and being felt is a powerful tonic and an important form of medicine, especially for sensitive women.

Perhaps you have a friend who you connect with regularly.

Perhaps you have a healer/ mentor who holds a supportive field for you, whatever form it takes it is important to have this element of personal holding in your cocktail.

I hope this inspires you to keep on honing your support system. The world needs you to be firing on all cylinders in order to be a part of positive change.

♥️ May we all be held in LOVE ♥️
