Patterns In The World Around Me
“In the end, how you do anything is how you do everything”
—Richard Rohr, A Spring Within Us
I was born seeing patterns in the world around me. It’s what led me to dance and music and math! This past year, persuaded by pandemic introspection, I’ve been exploring the mystery of my own patterns, teasing apart which patterns serve me and what I can learn from their stories.
Much like my beloved tree rings in the photo above, we are each uniquely shaped by nature and nurture. The miracle of our conception- the creation of the one from two- from the egg and the sperm- form the blueprint of our coming-into-being. Our experiences then create our Imprints- much like the tree’s rings.
Trees can tell us the story of their experiences through their rings – droughts, hurricanes, fires, and floods. In the same vein, our bodies are like the trees. Our nervous system records our experiences, and our bodies are ready to tell us these stories if we are ready to listen.
When these experiences are stressful or traumatic, our bodies can record these events in patterns that inhibit our freedom of choice- physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy provides the needed support for releasing these Imprints and building on the Blueprint of our innate health.
What new patterns will you be creating this year?
