How Not to Hand Over Power to the System
ByThis question is relevant to fertility, pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, parenting and beyond.
We have been trained to accept the majority view point and ‘how things are done’. And systems have played an important role in the development of our society.
But our nature is to evolve, to make things better and larger systems generally lag behind considerably…
Often mothers and inspired professionals are caught up in an archaic model that has forgotten that we are deeply wise and that healing, fertility, pregnancy and birth are guided from within.
It has forgotten the power of love, connection, softness, allowing, patience, optimism and vision.
As an inspired practitioner or patient in an out-dated system, it is useful to remember that your value has nothing to do with how others perceive or treat you. That is intrinsic.
It is also useful to remember that you are precious, worthy of the very best and are a conscious creator in the story of your life.
Now picture what you would love. Let your mind wander. Create a collage. Get into the feelings. And keep your focus on this.
And watch …as the system, your role in it, or workplace change before your very eyes… or you begin to attract people and experiences within the system that nourish and honour you to the core of your being.
‘The moment that you choose consciousness rather that the tired-out, collective idea about how you ought to live….this is a transformative moment.’ (Clarissa Pinkola Estes).
Be gentle on yourself. Have fun. And dare to dream.
In joy,
Deirdre Morris
