Читать книгу Finding Inner Safety - Dr Nerina Ramlakhan - Страница 12

As I write this book, we are in the midst of a pandemic unlike anything any of us have ever been through. But even before this we had been living as compromised human beings, stress levels rising, mental health issues common, and, especially amongst our young, people are unable to sleep. But I believe that these aren't the real epidemics; at the heart of it we have become so disconnected from our true selves – our souls – and lost the ability to feel safe. In our technology-driven world we've also lost connection with others; for many people relating has become virtual, superficial, text-character-based. Man is, after all, a social animal, and it is in the building of authentic and deep connections that real safety can also be found.

What are we talking about when we talk about feeling safe? I propose that there are four levels at which we might seek to feel safe – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Human beings are complex and we feel safest when we are integrated and whole on these four levels – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. I will invite you to think about how you feel on each of these levels. Thus, you can become more intimately acquainted with your unique relationship with feeling safe and, importantly, discover where the healing lies for you.
