It seems that Canada is moving towards opening of the borders, and let’s hope that the restrictions will soon be in the past.
Among my local news – recently I received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer in my case).
Returning to Regular
‘Return to normal’ is important, it’s the time of stress relief: we rely on habitual in how we regulate ourselves and being in a situation internally marked as unusual is inevitably triggering our stress response systems. Leaving a period of time behind is also a good moment to summarize the losses and gains of the pandemic. For some this period had taken a heavy toll of losses and grief, others were less affected. It’s unlikely that anyone among us has had a completely regular year.
Some of the plans are abandoned, others are now emerging. Some past activities are forgotten, and new options are available. The virus and its consequences, when something is lost forever or became obsolete are, in fact, also clearing the space for the new, and maybe it’s a good moment to think about it.
Finding new opportunities, discovering new resources turns to be easier when the burden of habitual ways and solutions is left behind. What we need in the moments of change is having some peace within ourselves.
The studio is open. If you schedule a session of Craniosacral Therapy, Integrative Bodywork, or a Systemic/Family Constellation, please come 5 mins before the session (not earlier): the intervals between sessions are slightly larger though it takes some time to disinfect the surfaces in the studio before your session.
