Many people spend their whole lives in waiting-for-validation prison, endlessly trying to gain the approval of others. Often birthed in their dynamics with invalidating parents (who themselves were invalidated), this disempowering pattern is a shame-fulfilling prophecy, one that leads us nowhere. Because even if people validate you, it won’t be enough. You will just go looking for it somewhere else. And that won’t get you anywhere either, because the issue isn’t validation. The issue is the mistaken belief that another human being can liberate you from your self-hatred. They can’t. Because they are trapped inside of the same prison. Under-validated people seeking validation from other under-validated people. An impossible cycle. A hopeless waste of energy.

Oh magnificent one, please stop seeking the approval of others. Don’t you see? You have already been approved. You have already passed the divine test. You’re here, for God’s sake! Your validation is within the heart of each breath. Breathe in—I am loved! Breathe out—I am loved… What will it take before we get it? - Jeff Brown

Mutual caring relationships require kindness and patience, tolerance, optimism, joy in the other's achievemeents, confidence in onself, and the ability to give without undue thought of gain. - Fred Rogers

The more powerful our roar, the more open our core!

You can't be in your vulnerability if you can't express your anger. Both because it clears the debris so you can open your heart again, and because we cannot touch into the seepest parts of our vulnerability without it. Until our inner child knows that we have the capacity to protect his tenderness with ferocity, he will not fully reveal it. She will only open so much, until she knows that we can hold her safe. This is one of the reasons why thsoe who grew up unprotected as children will often keep their hearrs closed. They weren't given a healthy template for self-protection. Sometimes we have to forge that template ourselves, in the fires of our own empowerment. The more studdily we can touch into and express our rightful anger, the more comfortable we will feel embodying and expressing our vulnerability. The more powerful our roar, the more open our core. - Jeff Brown, Hearticulations

#lovewins , Mr. W

At the heart of our expansion is the capacity to be vulnerable again. Although the world rewards insensitvity with the spoils of war, it takes more courage to surrender tahn to numb. I am not talking about a weekend from of surrender, but one that is embalzoned with courage. It is through our vulnerbale, open heart that our diviity rises up ti meet us. So ofthen the most 'damaged' peopel are the most advanced and feeling souls. They feel everything and are more stronly impacted by the disparity between an authentic life and the flasified energy of the world. We must never surrender our right to rurrender. - Jeff Brown

Intimacy is an informant. Not the kind of informant that shares inappropriate information, but the kind that teslls us exactly what we need to know. If we allow ourselves to listen close, it whispers everything we are hiding from ourselves and each other. It shines a bright light on our unresolved shadow, exposing all the layers of armor that prevent us from being truly present with each other. Intimacy is surely 'in-to-me-see,', but it is also the only way to uncover the obstructions to true connection. Because we can only connect with another to the depths that we connect with ourselves. If we are a step back from lur own hearts, we wil always be a step back from everyone else's too. - Jeff Brown, Hearticulations

"You are worthy of my attention."

If you grew up in a hurtful home, you may have a hard time imagining that the world can be a soft place to land. You might figure that if your family didn’t hold you in high regard, no one else will. And, perhaps as a result, you hold yourself back from jumping into life, and seizing the day. Perhaps you keep yourself small and compact, skirting the edges of society, trying to go unnoticed. Perhaps you don’t allow yourself to dream, because you are certain that dreams don’t come true. Just like they didn’t come true in your family home, where things never seemed to improve.
If this is you, I have something to tell you: It’s not true. It makes perfect sense that you would feel this way, but it’s just a projected expectation from your lived experience. It’s all you know. But it’s not all that you can know. Because there is a bounty of good people who are willing to support your efforts to create a better life. I know, because I have met many. I entered my twenties certain that the world had to be harsher than my harsh upbringing. And I was proven wrong, time and time again. Sure, there were many who were perpetuating their own ancestral toxicity, but there were also hundreds of wonderful souls, none of whom were remotely interested in abusing or scapegoating me. In fact, many of them were just like me: trauma survivors with hearts of gold, seeking safe and supportive connection. Because at heart, we are all roaming the plains looking for a loving and functional family.
It’s astonishing when you realize that much of the world is kinder than your childhood home. When you do, everything starts to change. You realize that the worst is over (‘worst things first’), and that you are finally free to... live. - Jeff Brown

The way you break toxic ancestral patterns is not by running away from them. It’s by walking back in their direction. Not because you want to keep repeating them, but because you recognize that the only way to truly shift them is to see them up close and heal them at their roots. It’s okay to run from them for a time, but not for all time. Because the flight from what lives inside of you, merely delays your arrival. You think you are on the way to somewhere else, but the plane keeps circling your childhood home. It can’t navigate a new flight path, until you return back to where you came from, and heal its broken wings. ~ Jeff Brown


“There is one thing, I believe, that all of us want, no matter how old we are, no matter whatever differences are between us; the one thing we cherish from another human being is attention.
Love…is not certain. Some people will love us, and some people will not. But the one thing that anyone can give to any other person is simple attention. It is not as involved as in love. This attention may last 20 minutes or many hours. If you live with somebody it is repeated. "You are worthy of my attention." That, I think, is the greatest gift we can give each other." - Magda Gerber

Think of your triggers as ghosts from your experiential and ancestral history. They are ghosts who have not yet found their peace. They want to—that’s why they keep showing up in your life—but they need your help. They need you to get in close, and listen as they share their unresolved past with you. They need you to see them, in just the same way you want to be seen. If you keep ignoring them, they won’t go away. They will just show up more often. And your life will become a kind of ghost-fulfilling prophecy, one where every choice you make will haunt your days. Perhaps its time that we accepted that we are the haunted house that we fear. In each room, a ghost that is ready to be liberated. In the basement, the unconscious that is ready to be revealed. We don’t n
eed to give ourselves candy on Halloween. We just need to give ourselves permission to heal. That’s the sweetest gift of all. - Jeff Brown

一直看見天使

編曲:王雙駿 監製:王雙駿

你說惡運還沒有完
時時跟妖魔鬼怪擦肩
你說你雙眼從來清晰可見
亂世處處 太多咒怨

若世間逐漸陷落 你早已看穿
你這部通書 只叫人 心更亂
現在就 講講我一出世 沿途所見

回頭常發現
小天使永遠在我身邊
看守我至我 無恙安眠
人有苦與甜 學欣賞它好的那邊

原來人背面
不只有怪獸 力壓你雙肩
都總有天使 長伴跟前 圓你幾個願
在紛紛擾擾 花花世界 等不悲觀者看見

就算出道後路上 間中有破損
我記住只得 所有人 的美善
現在若講起 有些相距甚遠
說說也覺得溫暖

回頭常發現
小天使永遠在我身邊
看守我至我 無恙安眠
人有苦與甜 學欣賞它好的那邊

原來人背面
不只有怪獸 力壓 你雙肩
都總有天使 長伴跟前 圓你幾個願
在紛紛擾擾 花花世界 等不悲觀者看見

若是你願 你亦能在 日常閒事中看見

回頭才發現
小天使已靠在你身邊
看守你愛你 逾十週年
陪你出發前 預先收好星星碎片

留待你發現
這黑暗世界 鍍上了金邊
不只有妖怪 埋伏窗前
如你許個願

或者他聽到 偷偷替你 穿針牽了線

For breath is life, and if you breathe well you will live long on earth. - A Sanskrit proverb

"In the “Sutra of Mindful Breathing,” the Buddha offers a method to release the tension in our body. To allow our body and mind to rest. Breathing in, I am aware of my body. This is one exercise described by the buddha. When you breathe in, you bring your mind to your body. This is a basic practice. Breathing in, I release all tension in my body. Whether in a sitting or lying position, it is possible to release all the tensions in our body. These should become a daily exercise. During the time we sit, walk or eat, it is possible for us to practice this". - Dharma Talks by Thich Nhat Hanh
Connection is a rare spark, a cause for joy. I would not like to lose said spark because of your inability to communicate about your fear. - Waylon Lewis

When the violin can forgive the past, it starts singing. - Hafiz

Weekend Update: Trump Rallies - SNL
You can start changing our world for the better daily, no matter how small the action. - Nelson Mandela

What if each time you experienced an emotion, you acknowledged it, accepted it, and became curious about its message for you? Imagine how this could change your life. Imagine how heard, loved, and honored you would feel if you really listened to yourself. - Vironika Tugaleva

Everyday, try to find time to sit in complete and total silence with yourself. Dig down deep to the center of you soul and listen to your heart. Find your inner voice and it is there you will find true peace. - Melanie Koulouris

Little by littel we human beings are confronted with situations that give us more and more clues that we aren't perfect. Fred Rogers

No one in this world is pure and perfect. If you avoid people for their little mistakes you will always be alone. So judge less and love more. - unknown

Sometimes you just need to talk about something, not to get sympthay or help, but just to kill its power by allowing the truth of things to hurt the air. - Karen Salmansohn

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like ahadow that never leaves. - Buddha

Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love. - Brene Brown

Progress is impossible wihtout change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. - unknwon
A person who can't communicate thinks everything is an argument. - unknown
Depression is frozen feeling. It’s not a disease of the ‘mind.’ It’s a disease of the heart. It is sourced in unexpressed, unreleased, and unhealed pain that is held deep within the physical and emotional body. You can talk about it in therapy to soften its edges, you can medicate it in the hope that it becomes more manageable, but the real work has to happen somatically, deep within the body itself. The frozen material has to be thawed out, worked through, released. Our shadow is not our enemy. Repression is. Unfortunately, we still live in a world that is afraid of the source material. So we shun it, bury it, ‘manage’ it with dissociative spiritualities, medications and feelings-avoidant psychoanalysis. All of this merely perpetuates and concretizes the problem. The only way to heal depression is to get to its roots. To get right inside those frozen feelings, and thaw them out somatically. We felt the initial pain in our bodies. We must go right back inside of our bodies to feel and resolve it. No more damming up of our emotions. No more defenses and denials. THE FEEL IS FOR REAL. Let’s feel our way back to life. - Jeff Brown , 'Hearticulations'
