At its essence, I realize my ideas of my own self-worth come from my relationship to nourishment which was developed as a newborn and so is based upon the care I received then – the love, the food, having an easeful place to live, friends, caring family community. All of these created set points of how I felt I deserved care in my life. And, they establish what I can let in, what I can effortlessly receive without feeling like I “owe” something or that I must say “no” to because it just feels uncomfortable, patronizing or charitable ‒ or that might trigger my pride.
And, while I’ve created a life of having more than I had as a newborn, I “over pay” for it in life force and resources, because I do not believe I am deserving. I work very hard – with the feeling of running away from an eventual poverty which may catch me. And, while flow and purpose also require engaging, there is a feeling of being fed by these efforts rather than the opposite.
What I am finding after many years of strengthening my nervous system – through food, nourishment, care, connection with self, other, my sexuality, is that I now have the ability to see and the strength to grieve for this time. I can grieve for the child in me that didn’t have food – that doesn’t understand the natural flow of possibility. I can grieve for me and release. Release these and see these old set points as just that and begin to reset my relationship with life.
I can begin to see the truth of my deserving beneath the markers of old into a value that is actually true. Who am I without them?
I can see that I was in circumstances of underserving, rather than that I am undeserving. It is only at this energetic level that I am beginning to find something new, and understand the innate, never changing value of my soul. From there, slowly rewiring and stepping into the becoming of myself ‒ in full relationship with all that is around me, grateful for my understanding of this truth.
It’s a process and the set points are different for everyone.
