Building Integrated Life Without Rejecting Your Identity

And this is one of those techniques from Restorative Yoga for Trauma, where I refer to it as the 5 factor check in. And to just kind of be present with that. If I understand my baseline and then I walk into a session, and after that I can pick up how I'm affected on those five points of check in, and then very interested about why is that transforming?

Which exactly how can we know that something has simply shown up, whether it is intergenerational or not? If we're not connected in with our bodies and we're not embodied in the minute, how would certainly we also know? Like, returning to the very starting, we can be in injury and we don't even know that we're in injury.

Perfectionism in First-Generation Communities

What is that? What is that protecting me from? Where did that stem? When did I first begin really feeling in this way? Or that's the energised domain name.

And I enjoy this concept that not only do we have what we can speak about as transgenerational injury, yet we also have intergenerational strength which we can be component of enhancing that strength tale. And I assume that's a great deal of what we're discussing today yep. That there's one more possibility there.

Living Between Two Worlds

And I don't assume that we fix that tale just by caring it for our family or forefathers. There is a method in which, when we are ready to feel and fix and recover, it is a gift that goes in both generational directions.

Acknowledging that we're all interconnected, I believe that's a lovely, gorgeous photo and a gorgeous thought that we are connected in both directions. One of the writers that writes on this practice of cultivating transgenerational strength, he describes the value of developing generational empathy. And we can do this with our youngsters as well, yet we begin with ourselves.
