One Apple A Day #814 - my inner team
Last week I was talking with a group about trust. It was interesting to observe how everyone had their rationals to decide if someone can be trusted, but digging a bit more, it was clear that in the end, it was all about gut feeling. So, my conclusion was that we should trust more our instinct because our mind plays tricks.
Then during the weekend, I co-facilitate an archery experience in the woods. One of the things I love about archery is that it allows exploring the wisdom of the body. The body doesn't lie, so it provides crucial insights on what happening inside us. But I also discover that some times, instinct can take us away from our real nature. So, maybe we should trust something else.
Maybe we should always follow the heart, as many suggest. But to be honest, a few times my heart led me into some painful situations.
So, what should I trust? What should I follow? My mind, my heart, my guts, my body or something else?
And then I realised it.
They are all part of me, and they are like a team.
My very own inner team.
When a part of me struggles, the others are there to provide guidance and support. When some parts of me are blinded, the one that can see leads the way.
When they are aligned, working together as one, that is where I can do magic.
So my daily practice is to take care of my inner team, nurture all the parts of me and create alignment between them.
