Honoring Our Foundations
Welcome back to the Journey, friends,
To know where you are going, you must first know where you have been. This week, we look at the power of our origins and the warmth of community. Whether we are gathering to escape the winter chill or examining the deep-seated family rules that shaped our boundaries, understanding our roots gives us the stability to grow toward the future. By honoring our history, we gain the clarity to decide what we want to carry forward and what we are finally ready to leave behind.
Mindfulness allows us to look at our history without getting stuck in it. When we observe a memory or a long-standing habit, we can practice being a compassionate observer rather than a judge. This space between the observation and the reaction is where true freedom lives, allowing us to respond to the present moment as our current, empowered selves.

As we move through our busy week, let us take a moment to reconnect with our bodies. Try this simple somatic tool: place one hand on your heart and the other on your belly. Feel the rise and fall of your breath, acknowledging the life and energy within you. This gentle touch signals to your nervous system that you are safe, present, and supported.
If you could rewrite one rule from your past to better fit your life today, what would it say?
With gratitude and light,
Coach Kaila
