If you’re familiar with my work, you know I talk about the power of Loving Limits.
We can set Loving Limits with a child when they are hurting others or themselves, or when they are using repression mechanisms to distract themselves form painful feelings, and we can then listen lovingly to the painful feelings that lie underneath the hitting or the hurting or the repression.
“I’m not willing for you to hit Harry, and I’m right here and I’m listening.”
“I’m not willing for you to eat any more cookies, and I’m right here and I’m listening.”
What if Gaia were setting a Loving Limit?
From a psychospiritual perspective, we know that the destructive behaviour of humans comes from the ways that the domination paradigm disconnects us from our true nature as Love and Will.
What if Gaia is helping us feel and heal the feelings that lie underneath the colonised and domination culture that is destroying life on this planet?
What if She were saying,
“I know that you are wanting to distract yourself from the pain of feeling separate, from the loss of belonging and interconnectedness you feel, having grown up in this culture. I know you have found many ways to distract yourself from the losses you’ve experienced in your lives – being left alone as a baby, being left alone as a child, your true nature not being seen.
I know that you are wanting to distract yourself from the pain of powerlessness, from living in a domination culture where so often your needs for choice and agency and autonomy weren’t met.
And I am not willing for you to keep distracting yourself any longer, sweetheart.
I’m not willing for you to distract yourself with busy-ness, with flying around the world, with buying things that you don’t really want or need, or with using power-over others.
And I’m here, and I’m listening.
I hear how confused you feel. How scared you are. I hear the powerlessness, and the frustration, and the outrage. I hear the loss, and the grief. I hear the overwhelm.
I am here.
I welcome all your feelings.
I love you exactly as you are.
I always have, and I always will do.
I am here to help you remember who you are.
You belong, sweetheart.
Underneath the deepest loss and disconnection you feel, you ARE interconnected with all that is.
You ARE Love.
Underneath the most painful powerlessness and fear that you feel, you ARE interconnected with the Life Force of the Universe.
You are Will. You are divinely powerful.
I know how painful and hard this is at times, sweetheart, and please know, that I am always with you. I am right here, holding you always.
I’m listening.
I love you.”
The more that we are able to receive Love for all of our Love-Hurts and Will-Hurts – our loss and grief, fear and powerlessness, frustration and outrage, the more that we feel our true nature as Love and Will emerging from within.
Our Love Sphere of the Torus becomes clearer, so we feel more loving and interconnected.
Our Willingness Channel of the Torus becomes less silted, so we feel the interconnected flow with the Life force of the Universe.
How do you feel when you hold a psychospiritual context for what is going on?
How do you connect with receiving Love?
That might be spending time in nature, being with a friend (even if on FaceTime), connecting in with your Inner Loving Mother or the Divine Mother. That might be being loving to your child, or partner, an animal or tree, a person in the supermarket, or a client.
What if Gaia were here, setting Loving Limits, to help us remember our true nature as Love and Will?
BIG LOVE
