before they can safely venture
into the ‘unknown”
“from the moment of conception….
As ‘somatic sensory beings’ we are touched and impacted by our immediate surroundings both in the emotional and physical realms.
We retain our openness if our system’s needs are met – becoming stable and open, being able to flow easily between expansion and contraction.
If however, there is a conscious or unconscious rejection on the parent’s (caregiver’s part) at any juncture from the beginning of form, the system may need to shut down or withdraw in a ‘healthy’ survival response protecting its ‘self’ through contraction or flattening against the outside.
This becomes our life’s work to find our way back to receiving and embracing our life force and all the innate qualities of our essence.”

mesmerizing
chills in truth expressed
layers revealing
wisdom of light in shadow
divine understanding
connected within
by essence and form
to both
land and ancestry
the known and
unknown
intertwined
unwinding
unfolding
finding strength
to know
life’s centre
guided
through and by
the mystery of life
we meet
our selves
and each other”

how we think
the beliefs we create
from our experiences
become a complex overlay
of our consciously
and unconsciously
held trauma
unwinding the patterns
both somatically and emotionally
integrating our gained wisdom
aligned with our spiritual nature
is our liberation
Ruth Roberts
In starting from somewhere
be it
weighted failure
breaking until we collapse
seemingly unbearable defeat
we surrender to rest
breathing in to let go
giving space for a moment’s reprieve
and then we rise
lifting our eyes
we reach
turning
extending
our kinaesthetic sensing
met by
meeting
ground
knowing life
as it shapes and
moulds us
our hope
sculpted from the inside
like a marble’s artist
with intuitive wisdom
exposing its innate shape
being made ready
for the next passage
encountering
what feels to be
an unending valley
maybe a mountain
to unimaginable to climb
yet in reaching its peak
a multifold glory
a basking in the warmth
of all that is
before
being thrust back
into chaos’ storm
challenged yet again
to shake off that binds us
unravelling our mind’s restrictions
in the mystery of this unwinding
we discover a pristine lake
in the middle
of everywhere and nowhere
diving in
our body and soul
tingles with aliveness
a moment of being
a sacred cleansing
We Rise
Ruth Roberts
In arriving
in this form
our essential hardware is
always in the background
our software often suffers
broken linkages from
our ancestral lineage
outdated conscious and unconscious coding
limiting how see ourselves and each other
this conditioning
layers of
predetermined stories
can restrict
our ability to function
in this world
it is through entering
chaos’ apparent disorganization
patterning can be
recognized and interrupted
and occasionally met with a crash
giving space for
awareness
understanding
new vision
to arise
always undergirded
by the support of our hard drive
a universal relationship of ground
new programming can be installed
connections get rewired
fresh coding integrated
our system
instals the latest updates
reconfigures damaged links
while retaining historical data
as it accesses and informs
more congruent pathways of comprehension
in completing its tasks
all applications with all their collective complexities
become activated when their process is initiated
this correlates with
life’s conquest for
conflict resolution
routing clarified
updated synapses
freeing up storage space
to revise old versions
increased speed in performance functioning
with greater capacity to hold and retain past and current memories
a coordinated dialogue between all moving parts
supporting connectivity and embodiment
providing knowledge, skill and relationship
to the creative and illuminating source
an essence that governs all life
Ruth Roberts
each person
would take the time
to be
introspective
get support
to heal
their trauma
associated with the pain
behind the complaining
to repair through
rewiring
the linkages
not to forget the past
but to integrate its wisdom
being
met
seen
understood
then we would live
in a very different world
defences dissembled
boundaries redefined
shifting
the collective
conscious and
unconscious mind
