The Nose Bleed

I had one of those moments when I could feel myself developing,  progressing, and evolving. We were at a friend's house, it was a fun evening: lots of kids playing around and I was enjoying the chance to catch up with friends. 

My daughter, in all of the fun, ran straight into a glass window front. She thought it was an open door. Her nose began to bleed like a river. I ran to her, taking her into my arms away from a trusted friend who had arrived first. I put pressure on the bridge of her nose and positioned her head downward (the latest in science is not what I grew up hearing). I was consistently supplied with toilet paper (and we needed it). There was a lot of blood. But I was steady. Normally, I feel this devastating ache in my solar plexus (in the pit of the stomach in front of the aorta. It's part of the sympathetic nervous system. It plays an essential role in the functioning of the stomach, kidneys, liver, and adrenal glands) and it is where I feel pain or fear when a family member is not okay. (I have heard from others that they also feel this kind of fear there too. Where do you feel your fear?)

I felt so unshakeable and in charge. I felt in the moment, not afraid of what would happen a few minutes later or the next day. I wasn’t worried about if her nose was broken, would be bruised tomorrow, or if she would be in pain later. I was somehow just in the NOW. Steady and grounded in the now, doing my very best to take care of my girl. I was serious and knew what to do. My lack of agitation seemed to cover Sophia in calm too. She cried as long as the pain was strong but within minutes, she was fine. She was speaking normally and wanted to get back to playing (even though blood was still flowing from her nostril). I didn’t let her go. I held her close and took care.

This situation was momentous for me. I felt that I could be present and balanced in times of anguish. I could have clarity and strength. Unwavering and guided by the moment and not the anxiety of what would be. I am still not sure how this happened but it did. I am excited about more shifts and spaciousness within, to have more options in how I behave and feel in times of stress.

Are you interested in working on your personal development? Are you looking for a life coach or a life consultant? Are you feeling stagnant? Do you want to jumpstart change?

 My transformational approach is a process where awareness, alignment, and action work together as catalysts to create momentum for change. 

*Awareness is knowing what you genuinely want and need.

*Alignment is the symmetry between our values and our actions. It means our inner and outer worlds match.

*Action is when you are conscious that what you say, do and think are in harmony with your values.

Together we build an understanding of what you want to accomplish, and delve deeply into building awareness around any thoughts and assumptions that you may already have. To truly transform your life, I will empower you to rethink what’s possible for you.
