What is Self? 

Who are you? Who am I? How do we know??

Our Self is not a list of characteristics, jobs or experiences we’ve had, personality traits, what we look like or what we wear, although it might include these things. 

I’d like to suggest that the real Self has much more essential nature. Self is a bit nebulous, and that’s not a bad thing. What not? Because Self is a kind of simplicity, a kind of freedom from all of the thoughts and ideas that can’t really define us. Why not?? Because our own true Self is much more incredible than a list of words, our appearance, or what others think about us. 

In today’s world, it's so easy to get distracted. We’ve been trained all our lives to pay attention to authority figures, famous people, influencers, social media, and the many problems the world faces today. What if the cure was in the connection? Connection to self? And what if that’s what could help us to feel better in ourselves and use it to help make the world a better place?

What’s so amazing about having our own Sense of Self is that it frees us from all of the external stuff that gets in the way of who we really are. Getting to know our Self is about paying attention to the inside rather than the outside. It's about sensing, feeling, listening to what's on the inside. When we let go of what's on the outside, it makes space for awareness of what's on the inside.

You’ve done it before many times, but maybe didn’t notice. We make contact with ourselves when we feel love for someone, when we make a decision based on a gut feeling, or when we allow ourselves to feel peace in the presence of nature. 

Our sense of Self isn’t about everyone or everything else. It's about YOU. It’s a kind of letting go. A re-framing. A flip. It's turning things right side up or inside out. Self is about a bit more attention on the inside rather than the outside. Self is about being centered within.

So often we're looking for answers, reassurance, or guidance from someone or something outside of ourselves. But we all have a place inside us where there is safety, love, and wisdom and it just takes practice to learn to sense and feel the healthy connections within. We can find a place within us where we can give ourselves what we need through our own mind, body, & spirit connection. Creating a relationship to our wholeness from within the sacred vessel of our body, we can access profound peace, healing, and what we need to feel better in the moment. by @drjaceygoddard

Humans are master thinkers. We’re quite good at logic, considering variables, imagining in beautiful and grandiose ways, and intellectualizing. These things really help us to get things done. Thinking helps us to be effective, figure out complex problems, build cell phones, robots, and AI, organize and categorize. But if we aren’t careful, thinking can be divisive and rigid, and keep us stuck on narratives that aren’t helpful. As great as it is in many ways, if we aren’t careful, thinking can take us away from our humanness and our ability to feel.

These days I find it interesting that a lot of people use words like feel, sense, and embody, but there's still a ton of thinking going on and not all that much feeling. We’re getting closer but still pretty out of touch. We think and overthink of all of the possibilities. We imagine what we think someone else wants us to do. We worry about what everyone else will think and wonder what is the “right” decision. Thinking takes us out of ourselves and stresses our nervous system. Feeling can lead us to true knowing and real wholeness and fulfillment.

We hear things like this a lot: “I have a sense.” “It ‘feels’ like.” “Trust your gut”. “Being a sensitive person.” We’re told to pay attention to our feelings and emotions but sometimes they make us spiral out of control in our minds. We can get stuck in patterns and narratives can be confusing and dysfunctional. Unfortunately sometimes when we're trying to figure something out or make a decision, we leave out the most important part which is how we really feel about something, deep within our being, and this is where the magic happens.

You might have noticed that I have a tree of life image for my logo. The tree metaphor is something that clicked for me back when I was presenting at a conference workshop on the topic of “Extremities”. In medicine, the upper and lower extremities of the body are the arms and legs. What I realized in the moment was that our human body has roots (legs) and branches (arms) much like a tree. Even our immense nervous system is described in anatomy texts as having various branches as each nerve has its own specific name and location. In the image, you can see how extensive the nervous system is from the top of our head to the tips of our fingers and toes. As I contemplated it a bit more, I started to realize how our whole body is quite tree-like. In fact, since we have a trunk that connects the roots and branches, that is essentially the main part of the body and that like a tree, everything connects through that trunk. We can learn from a tree in its beauty, its stability, its stillness, and its interconnectedness with all of creation.

But really, why am I really talking about all of the metaphorical reasons humans are like trees?? It's because trees have lessons for us.

Finish reading my Blog article (link in my bio) to find out what the trees' lessons are.

And if feeling your “Tree” feels good to you, you can use the code TREE for 30% off my master class, Healing From Within, where there are several guided Tree Experiences to calm your nervous system, rewire unhelpful patterns, and experience the stillness and oneness of nature for better health and wellness on many levels. by @drjaceygoddard

Interconnectedness and Wholeness is our true Human Nature and something we can all learn how to FEEL every day. It can help us to get out of our heads, calm our nervous system, know ourselves better, and heal ourselves deeply. I'm not talking a meditation technique because it's a way of being that's available to all of us.

Seeing the beauty in Nature reminds us of our humanness. We can slow down, take a deep breath, and appreciate the simple things. We can be awe inspired by its beauty. We are all a part of this beauty and it is within each of us. Allow yourself for just a moment to sense and connect to it. It might feel like warmth, softness, or a slowing of your breath. This is our own interconnectedness, the healing power within us, and our inner being, that each of us can experience in our own way, moment to moment.
