knock down fight

Hi Adel,

Yeah, that sounds familiar.
I’ve been there myself.

Just be patient with yourself and allow your shen
to feel safe to express themselves. Developing
a strong ground from grounding practices helps
amplify and stabilize this space and makes it work . . .
creates the presence of “neutral counselor trained
in social work” which helps prevent things from
getting out of control. Turns chaos into a stable
space from which you can do therapy. If you know
Fusion, you can start the process of getting everybody
to harmonize, but even if not, just simple listening
creates progress.

The Metal-Wood (Lung-Liver) conflict is a common
and challenging one; they can be an abusive couple.
Enough mutual counseling with Earth as a stable mediator,
and the violence starts to die down and they start
to see that despite their problems that they really
do love each other.

You are the right path.
Keep going.

Love and qi,
Steven

I can sympathize;
I know how it can feel difficult to build momentum.

But slow progress is still progress, and
coming to retreats can act as an accelerant,
so it is wonderful you will be coming.

I will be there the whole summer, actually.

Best,
Steven
