Recapturing the Magic and Wonder
We're halfway through Becoming the Calm, learning to settle into our own internal stability.
We've explored becoming comfortable within ourselves, feeling guided without needing all the answers, and standing in gratitude for where we are right now.
And here’s where it can get interesting:
All of the nervous system work that we’ve been doing is what allows wonder back into our lives.
Last year, I found myself in the middle of the Christmas season... and I simply didn’t care.
Not because I'm a grinch, but because I was overwhelmed. When your nervous system is maxed out, you go numb. You can't feel the magic because you're too busy just trying to survive the season.
The Grinch couldn't feel Christmas until his nervous system calmed down enough to stop looking for threats. Only then could his heart grow three sizes. Only then could he feel connection, care, warmth.
This week’s audio is a special bonus tied to the holidays - using the season itself as an invitation to calm, to wonder, and to let your heart expand. It's not separate from the work we've been doing in Becoming the Calm. It's the result of it.
When you're regulated, you can feel again. When you're calm, magical moments becomes possible.
So consider this your companion piece, a seasonal doorway into the same internal space we've been cultivating together, because recapturing the magic of Christmas is what happens when your nervous system finally feels safe enough to wonder.
