The soul did not come here just to survive.
It came to pulse.
To be met.
To be felt.
To become Love in motion.
To be met.
To be felt.
To become Love in motion.
But when the rhythm is broken, the body remembers. The nervous system recalibrates towards survival, bracing instead of breathing. And yet, deep within, the original pulse remains – untouched, waiting, patient.
🕊️ The Voice That Formed Inside Silence
They say trauma is a psychological wound.
But I feel it’s deeper. Trauma is what happens when Love tries to arrive… and isn’t received. When your true rhythm couldn’t find a mirror.
In psychology, it’s called developmental trauma – when a child adapts not out of resilience, but because the room was never made to hold their soul’s full weight.
In nervous system studies, it’s polyvagal dysregulation – where safety is lost and the body braces for life instead of dancing with it.
Trauma therapists call it fragmented adaptation.
But for me, it simply feels like:
“I was here… and no one noticed.”
🌀 Six Echoes from the Fracture
Here are six echoes the body carries when Love’s rhythm is interrupted:
I. Loss of Presence
When love was not mirrored, the body no longer felt safe to be.
“I looked for your eyes and didn’t find them. So I folded inwards, slowly, invisibly. The ache didn’t begin as a scream – it began as silence.”
II. Fragmentation for Survival
When the body says: “I must carry coherence alone.”
“I didn’t split because I was weak. I split because my wholeness wasn’t received. The child in me knew how to pulse with joy – but the room needed quiet.”
III. False Coherence
Adaptive behaviours become survival rhythms.
“They said I was well-behaved, but inside, I was negotiating with a world that couldn’t hold my waves. I wore calmness like a costume.”
IV. Frozen Feeling
The soul’s light trapped in defense.
“My tears weren’t absent. They were locked. To ache felt dangerous, so I made numbness feel holy.”
V. Disconnected Heart Field
The heart’s toroidal field collapses inward; emotion is silenced.
“I stopped reaching. Not because I had nothing to say, but because the signal of my heart never landed. I began to believe I was not meant to be felt.”
VI. Overactive Mind Without Rhythm
Cognition tries to manage coherence without resonance.
“My mind became a machine. But it could not restore what only the body remembers. It tried so hard to make sense of the ache.”
Now let's reverse each of the 6 fragments. If you feel one fragment more strongly, you can just use that one more often.
🌿 I. Loss of Presence → Reclaiming Presence
“I am safe to be here now. My presence is sacred. I belong in this moment.”
🌿 II. Fragmentation for Survival → Wholeness
“All parts of me are welcome. My wholeness is received and held with love.”
🌿 III. False Coherence → Authentic Expression
“I release the need to perform. My true self is loved and accepted as I am.”
🌿 IV. Frozen Feeling → Emotional Flow
“It is safe to feel. My feelings flow freely, restoring my light and life force.”
🌿 V. Disconnected Heart Field → Heart Connection
“My heart’s signal is felt and received. I am worthy of being seen and felt deeply.”
🌿 VI. Overactive Mind Without Rhythm → Embodied Knowing
“I rest into my body’s wisdom. I trust the rhythm within me to guide my way.”
✨ Repeat these daily, especially during breathwork, meditation, or grounding practices to gently rewire each survival imprint into embodied safety and presence.
🌿 Return to Rhythm: A Final Offering
And yet… somewhere beneath all of this, still humming, is a pulse that remembers.
The shape of wholeness is never lost. It rests beneath the ways we learned to survive.
Let my survival now become the offering.
Let my fracture become the doorway.
Let my heartbeat be felt – not just by me, but by another.
Let resonance return.
Let my fracture become the doorway.
Let my heartbeat be felt – not just by me, but by another.
Let resonance return.
I do not reject the ways I coped.
I bow to them.
I bow to them.
But now…
I am listening for the rhythm again.
I am not trying to be coherent.
I am remembering that I already was.
I am not trying to be coherent.
I am remembering that I already was.
✨ May this remembering guide you back to your original pulse today.
