I want to reiterate: 

Your Conflict Archetype is not your fault, and it’s not an innate flaw within you. Your patterns originated because of the environment of oppression you were brought up in. 

—-> The trauma you experienced lodged its way into your body. 

—-> And that’s what you feel when you get triggered within conflict. 

We become what we practice regularly. 

And we are always practicing something. 

That’s why I’ve created this embodiment exercise for you. This is something you can do anytime, anywhere. Not just in your home, in your room, alone…but also on the bus, at your parent’s house, or at work. 

Where you used to clench your jaw or fist to protect the hurt you experienced and push the other person away,[b] you’ll be able to use this instead. 

• To give care and attention to the emotions and where they are in your body as they arise. And to respond with compassion for yourself and others.

• And to have the ability to sit with the discomfort of conflict and create a solution that leads to repair.

That’s what leads to unbreakable bonds within communities. 

Care is our ultimate currency in a world of capitalism. 

Colonization’s ultimate violence is to sever relationships; so our ultimate resistance is to stay within them and create power through numbers.  

So let’s stick together. Let’s stay in relationship, even when it’s hard. 

Reach out and let me know how this somatic exercise goes for you. Tag me on Instagram here, I’m honored to be part of your journey.
