The soldier didn’t need to disappear
During a session, the image of a soldier appeared.
A soldier who had learned to fight, to resist, to remain vigilant.
This image echoed something very present in this woman: a way of moving through life always ready to fight, to defend her place, to be seen or recognised.
But that day, it wasn’t about getting rid of the soldier.
Quite the opposite.
He had been useful. He had developed strength, courage, the ability to keep going and move forward.
Perhaps he simply didn’t need to be on duty all the time anymore.
I told her something I often say when this kind of pattern appears:
“You know this posture by heart.”
You know how to fight, resist and stay standing. You have practised it for a long time.
Now, perhaps you can learn another posture.
One of openness, non-doing and gentleness too.
Letting things come instead of going after them. Receiving instead of having to obtain. Not constantly having to defend something.
And this doesn’t mean losing your strength.
If one day you really need the soldier, you will know perfectly well how to wake him up. You already know the way.”
Often, we continue to function in a certain way simply because we know it so well.
It may have protected us or helped us through certain periods of our lives.
But we can also explore another side of ourselves and discover that there is a strength that doesn’t come from fighting.
A quieter strength.
Then another question can arise:
Who am I if I no longer need to fight to be seen, recognised or safe?
And what can I do with all this energy, now that it is no longer being used to fight?
I would be honoured to accompany you on your journey to deeply connect with your inner-self.
I offer in-person sessions in West Cork, Ireland, and online sessions worldwide.
