Arys is growing! Growing, growing, growing…
They can hardly believe the emotional & personal growth spurts they’ve been having over the past weeks.
They’re shedding — shedding their unhealthy patterns and automatic trauma responses as their pet snake is shedding her winter skin.
When a trigger stings, Arys stops and breathes, steps back a moment, pauses; and then goes back to the incident and/or the other person involved to face the situation, together, openly, vulnerable and gentle yet also firm in their own boundaries and/or needs.
The description of the Peacock keeps coming back to mind…:
“
PEACOCK
INNER-BEAUTY, COMPASSION, ASSIMILATOR OF ANYTHING
[… ]
This adept creature can assimilate or ‘digest’ all experiences in life, so it does not harbor resentment, conflict, or past pain within its psyche. [… ]
When in balance: confident, kind
When out of balance: cannot ‘digest’ situations
[… ]
”
