Villain Origin Story: Your Emotional Underworld
Perhaps you will find this strange, but one of my favorite thinking places is the cemetery. The stillness is profound. It becomes a canvas for the wideness of mind to take up vibratory space. To wonder about life, death, infinity and beyond.
Your Emotional Underworld
I think about our buried emotions as underneath the ground of our flesh. It lives there not only in metaphor but in actuality. Science is beginning to understand what my fascia already knows, the body is the record of your life. Memory stored in blood and bone. It’s brutal and beautiful.
Yesterday, in our first prompt of the Villain Origin Story Challenge we sat with the question: What is something you had to lose in order to survive your childhood?
Today we deepen it.
What you had to lose is still with you, buried in your emotional underworld. It has likely been expressing and blooming outside of your awareness.
Your question today is: How did what you lost in childhood, show up this week?
This is not a time to judge or beat yourself up. Just notice. Bring curiosity and awareness to yourself. This is intimacy not scrutiny.
Tell me what you find
