Mini Episode: Resentment, Regret, and the Motherload

There are two words known as the “death codes.” I know this sounds dramatic and a little woo-woo. But hear me out.The words? Resentment. Regret.I learned about the potency of these words during a plant medicine ceremony I did in September. The shaman told us these two words are the ones that will kill us the fastest, our energetic imprints on humanity erased most quickly by living in energies of resentment and regret.I want to talk about these words in a practical sense because I see their presence a great deal in my clients’ motherloads and in my own. I encourage you to do some intentional inquiry about them, maybe while journaling, walking, thinking, meditating – wherever this inquiry has space to come through for you. So: RESENTMENT. REGRET. How do these words show up in your life? How do they affect how you go out and live in the world?In this episode you’ll hear about:Resentment: bitterness and insidious anger made more potent by adding an an assignment of blameBuilding an awareness: where does resentment live in your body? Is it directed at a person? An entity? Life in general? What is it limiting?Asking further: how powerful is this resentment? Why are you holding onto it? And what is it feeding off?Regret: a sadness about how something happened; about a decision we did or didn’t make; about a version of us that did or didn’t happen due to somethingHow so much of our identities can be hampered/handicapped by harboring resentment/regret, and how past traumas can feel different in motherhoodThe core emotions underneath these words – anger and sadness – and how the more time spent here, the more the world reflects that back to usResources & LinksDid this episode resonate with you?
