Day 3 & Hononopono Insights π§Ώπ€
It turns out I needed some extra time to really figure out what this section meant to me but that's truly part of the process, isn't it? You stay consistent while being thoughtful and taking the time you need. β‘ - Patterns between mom & I: years of mixed patterns between abandonment/absent tendencies, being my friend instead of my mom, not feeling seen or heard if it conflicted with something she needed, and then me eventually expressing how much she owes me later in life because I didn't get what I needed/wanted during those earlier stages. I still have a relationship with her but due to who she is as a person, I don't think she'll truly understand what these patterns are and what she did to me. - Patterns between dad & I: neglect/absent/nothing concrete until my adulthood (once he got sober). We now have regulated & healthy patterns, but I know that the lack of these positive patterns set the tone for a lot of loneliness & abandonment. - My mom & dad: The combination of patterns from my mom and my dad showed (and quite frankly along with the relationships of several other parents from the friends that I grew up with) that people don't take relationships seriously, people don't know what they want, and/or a lot of connections don't last. This created mixtures of patterns that would just between anxious attachment styles to avoidant attachments styles. - The inner child: the inner child had to develop traits of conformity and people pleasing in order to feel seen and accepted. The need for being seen and understood through genuine attention were not met for the inner child. - love felt safe when: I was being listened to and was told that I mattered just by simply existing. - who did I need to be?: I needed to be accepted and feel like I fit in. - I get love/approval by: blending in and conforming to what the ego and others around me deem as "normal" - I avoid pain by: not standing out or being outspoken or even standing up for myself - adult patterns: "avoidance/I'm good" - the root story I'm ready to release is: I won't be loved and accepted simply but just being me and who I am at my core. - Meditative insights: it felt like I was the obseverer in this movie-like structure, where every damanged or once damage connection, no matter how minor or extreme popped up. I said the repeated phrases as each reflection passed. It started insanely heavy but then maybe after the 4th or 5th connection I suddenly felt lighter. I could feel the weight of every single grudge or scorned memory I ever had expell from my energetic field. I know with practice will come more quickly and be a consistent tool within this existence. β‘
