*BONUS EPISODE* S06E09 About Ceasefire
from The Tiny Pod · host Miranda
This week on The Tiny Pod is all About Ceasefire. From the Latin word Cessare, meaning to stop, to yield, to give over, a ceasefire is an exhale, a nervous system rest and reset, and it is only when our nervous systems are parasympathetic, at rest, that we are able to see with clarity and a clear head, and negotiate real peace. Ceasefires create space for peace by stopping further harm, pausing active attacks, and giving clarity a moment to settle. It is a step towards armistice and peace, a pause, not permanent resolution but in that pause peace can be found.As without, so within. When we let the word Ceasefire land on hearts, we feel relief, we soften, we put down our weapons of self-criticism, pressure, perfectionism and allow calm to settle. Ceasefire with ourselves is permission to stop fighting with our self, with others, and with the world. It is in allowing ourselves to be as we are, and others to be as they are, and let life keep lifing that we find peace and stop exhausting ourselves fighting against life as it is.The practice of peace is to notice when we have picked the weapons back up, and choose again and again to put them down. It is a continual, committed practice that takes active surrender to life as it is, and commitment to no longer fighting reality.A ceasefire is a conscious interruption of harm, in a system that has become used to conflict, and creates space for something new to emerge. It is not final, but often the first honest step towards lasting peace.When we regulate our nervous systems we naturally, and consciously move away from anything and anyone that does not bring peace. And each time we choose peace, we choose to put the weapons down, we are really choosing ourselves, choosing each other, choosing love and choosing life. True ceasefire is positive, encouraging, hopeful and an invitation into deeper, lasting peace, joy and love.The full episode and weekly podcast can be found on Patreon every Monday.
