Lessons from Medusa on the vaccine, lockdown and healing

Hello!

What we've been through this past year is nothing short of being trapped in cages with a potential threat in other bodies. Now that vaccines are available and things are opening up.  It's likely that you're feeling quite a lot of emotion.  It could be regret that you didn't do more during the lockdown, the incredible grief of loss (loss of a year of life you could have lived differently, loss of the way things were, loss of loved ones, etc),  the anxiety of choosing to receive a vaccine, the fear of being in public with more people, etc.

How do you manage to digest this stuck stress-energy in your nervous system?

Remember the myth of Medusa?  In case you forgot, Medusa turns people into stone if you look directly in her eyes. Perseus used his reflective shield to see her in order to cut off her head without looking directly at her so as not to be turned to stone. (frozen)  If you directly look at the trauma you can re-traumatize your system and move right back into an overwhelmed/frozen state.  But, if instead, you approach it from a place of aliveness, in other words, learning to feel neutral or good again, that will allow you to access the stress-energy that is ready and waiting to fully digest.

Let's connect and learn together how to move forward from this year transformed and armed with tools to work with the inevitable stressors in our modern world.
