March 2024 Blog – Still getting to know the 4 parts of me.

If this is the first time for you to read my blog, I would recommend you read my previous blog called, The 4 parts of me blog, to catch up on where I left off.

March has been a big month with me learning to put my soul/heart first. Some days or even moments feel like I am taking two steps forward and three back. With my head being a ruler for most of my life this is conditioning that I am still unpacking.

My soul /heart has been forgotten so many times, not listened to and not allowed to feel. I have not followed my internal truth either. All of this has been unveiled over the last month.

There have been many times when my heart/soul is telling me one thing and I just totally ignore this. This makes me feel like I have not been a nice self with having always put my head/mind first. Now it is time for me to give me time and space to really let my soul/heart be my priority. I do realise that I will need to be very patient with my whole self as I move through the 4 parts of me while checking in on how the balance is.

While I was ironing a few nights ago I decided to listen to a podcast Unlocking Us with Brene Brown who was speaking with Ester Perel on New AI – Artificial Intimacy. This was exactly what I needed to listen to. So empowering and one of the biggest stand out for me was when Esther spoke about how humming has given her so much peace. These might not be the exact words spoken by Esther but what I heard was the mind can’t think while you hum.

Wow! Humming. So, I decided to google it, and this is what it says, A regular daily humming routine can help enhance the parasympathetic nervous system and slow down sympathetic activation.

Then I gave it a go and my experience was so grounding and felt like my heart was so happy and full. Even felt like my inner child was very playful. All this experience comes from humming for me. To me that sounds so crazy but I have shared this with a few of my clients and they had the same experience when they gave it a go. I feel so safe in my body and it is just like receiving a great big hug from the person who loves me the most and that’s me.

When I was chatting with my fiancé about my revelation, he shared that his mum used to hum all the time. So that made my heart swell to know a little about her and her wisdom even though she has passed over.

Thank you for being a part of my self-discovery journey.

Until next time :)
