The Gift of Your Vulnerability
When did you last tune in with the part of your body that experiences and expresses vulnerability? Perhaps you have sensed it as a weight in your chest, fluttering in your stomach, clogging in your throat, piercing pain up your neck, shakiness, numbness, or something else?
Our fast paced and judgmental social programming tends to push us to tighten up, activate our protective armoring, carry on, push through the challenging times and discourages connection with our vulnerability.
In the meantime, however, what happens to your body’s experience and expression of vulnerability during a tough time? What happens to that part of you that feels unsafe, fearful, helpless, lonely, sorry for oneself, wants to cry, yearns for comforting, that needs a hug or to have its hand held with genuine compassion, love and support?
Do you recognize and appreciate your vulnerability or do you ignore or disown it? Perhaps you hold back on acknowledging that
you feel vulnerable in a given moment because you or others might judge it as a sign of weakness or that to allow your vulnerability to come forward from your body might feel overwhelming after holding it at bay for so long. Yet the more you push down the call of your vulnerability to be heard and attended to, the more tension may build up in your body. Over time, such stored tension may lead to physical, mental, emotional or energetic strain patterns and dysfunction.
