Sweet Sisters of Mercy cloak us in calm
Invisibly they hold us with prayer and powerful intention.
Sacred space, hallowed hallways, singular sleeping cells, silence.
From the fringes of the big meeting room,
Extending feelers to palpate the emotional temperature of fifty four participants,
Honing hearing as students of this advanced Somatic Experiencing training exchange healing presence in the break-out spaces,
I assist and learn to listen for activation, settling, “A-hahs” or misattunements.
Perturbations in the field, like stimuli for jellyfish, cause contractions in the whole, tendrils quiver.
Settling and flow return cycle after cycle, day after day for six days of leaning.
Exquisitely calibrated for survival, our nervous systems manage stress, perceived threat, real danger.
When miscued, our physiology continues to prepare for non-existent battles.
Exhaustion ensues.
Syndromes arise.
Somatic Experiencing is an antidote.
Streamlining function.
Organizing agency.
Humanity sighs.
Relief reigns.
Joy returns.
Blessed to be working here
Blessed to be here
Blessed to be
