Q-what is your protective shield? what is it protecting you from?
I have had so many! Overgiving- trying to show my worth. Fixing- Trying to control through fear of hurt. Overachieving- Always trying my best to feel worthy and accepted. HyperIndependant- Not being able to trust someone to look after me. Fear of letting someone help me being used as an excuse to mistreat me afterwards.
Q- who would you be without the shield and if you trusted? Im not sure who I would be yet? I guess I would still be authenticly myself, but I would be more open to love from others, and happier because I would be receiving instead of giving?
Q- How can you open up for more love and authenticity to flow through? By being conscious of my patterns and catching myself when my body reacts, now I am aware of not just how my conscious is thinking, but how my body is reacting.
Q- How can you move from contraction to openness? Honestly Im not quite sure on this point? But hopefully Aaron will explore further? But im guessing its allow myself to feel emotions, what ever they are so eventually my body will relax, then my mind can too?.
