Day 8 - Protective Shield

💙what is your protective shield? what is it protecting you from?

My protective shield was being really agreeable and turning into a chameleon. From doing some inner child work, I realised tha I would get in trouble for expressing myself, the safest thing for me to do was to express the emotions that were expected of me. So I learnt how to do this in any given situation. It would have protected me from judgement and conflict.

💙who would you be without the shield and if you trusted?

Without the shield I would be my authentic self. I would be more confident in who I was and not feel the need to change because of outside circumstances or expectations. It is like what we discussed yesterday, when we spoke about the mirror.

💙how can you open up for more love and authenticity to flow through?

Slow down. In moments where I realise that I am not being myself or my nervous system feels unsafe, I can slow down before I respond or act to make sure that I am always in alignment or adjust myself if I am not. I can also practice being with the emotions when they come up and expressing my opinion more even in spaces where it feels uncomfortable at first.

💙 how can you move from contraction to openness?

I loved the ho'oponopono eye gazing technique, I have been doing this for the last 3 days. This has been a way to confront myself and to really see who I am. I intend to keep practicing this every morning and simply sitting with myself. This will help me to become more open.
