Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown:

experience. I'm your host Aurora, life coach and companion

Unknown:

on this beautiful journey called life. Today I'm recreating in

Unknown:

the outdoors, you might hear the snow melt in the background

Unknown:

and lots of dripping. Yeah, funny enough, I chose to speak

Unknown:

about your nervous system today. And how we need to learn to be

Unknown:

patient with our nervous system, when we introduce change into

Unknown:

allies, or when change is, so to say, happening upon us from the

Unknown:

outside. And just now when I wanted to record this episode,

Unknown:

my computer decided to mouth down. So to say, I'm not gonna

Unknown:

go into further details. But I had a choice, I had a choice to

Unknown:

meltdown myself and to just throw my precious laptop out the

Unknown:

window. Or I could listen to my dad's latest video from

Unknown:

Barcelona. He had visited Barcelona a couple of days ago

Unknown:

and decided to go to a Spanish guitar concert. So instead of

Unknown:

losing my shit, I had to decided to listen to that beautiful

Unknown:

music, Spanish guitar and kept my cool. downloaded a new

Unknown:

software onto my computer. And now everything is running

Unknown:

smoothly, again, very excited. But yeah, I was really given a

Unknown:

choice here. And in my younger days, I probably would have lost

Unknown:

my mind. So your nervous system. I want to start with an example.

Unknown:

Let's pretend that you grew up in a household where dispute

Unknown:

Express expressing anger was something totally normal. In

Unknown:

fact, the way you guys decided to express your emotions was

Unknown:

always related to arguments and anger. Yeah, you would laugh at

Unknown:

times when you watched a comedy or when something happened. And

Unknown:

you could laugh at the other person at your relatives. But

Unknown:

it's mainly anger that you were surrounded with this Prime's

Unknown:

your nervous system. So no matter what you experienced at

Unknown:

home, I'm just picking anger now because it's very easy to relate

Unknown:

to anger, at least for me. And you were exposed to a lot of

Unknown:

anger can be depression. If you grew up with a parent that was

Unknown:

depressed it can be. Yeah, ambiguity or unpredictability.

Unknown:

Your nervous system would always be on guard would always be

Unknown:

ready for Worst case scenario. But when it comes to anger,

Unknown:

let's say your nervous system is getting used to stress and your

Unknown:

whole body, your whole being is getting used to that

Unknown:

environment. And it is a way for us to survive. It is a way for

Unknown:

us to feel that we belong which in many, many episodes I

Unknown:

mentioned, because it is our strongest desire and a big need

Unknown:

that we feel that we belong. So no matter which environment you

Unknown:

grew up in, you adjust it, you compromised. You adapt it. Now

Unknown:

with the example of anger, you adapted to anger and expressing

Unknown:

anger is very natural for you. You're allowed. You express it.

Unknown:

You let it all out. It feels like when you suppress it when

Unknown:

you don't let it out you feel constipated, so to say on a soul

Unknown:

level. Maybe even on a physical level. You don't feel okay when

Unknown:

you're not allowed to express anger. Because this is what you

Unknown:

learned

Unknown:

is normal Fast forward into your adulthood, let's say you are in

Unknown:

your 30s and your 40s.

Unknown:

Maybe you're not married, maybe you are. But maybe you're

Unknown:

dating. And you happen to be with a personnel who's very

Unknown:

calm. And when they get upset when something is not going

Unknown:

their way, they choose words. They stay calm. And they express

Unknown:

themselves in a very different ways and what you are used to.

Unknown:

Now, this can either highly irritate you, or stimulate you.

Unknown:

Or you would want to reject that person, because you feel that

Unknown:

you cannot be yourself. You cannot express yourself, you

Unknown:

feel restricted. And the funny thing is that, yes, you feel

Unknown:

restricted in the way that you used to communicate. But there's

Unknown:

so many other ways that you can express yourself, but maybe you

Unknown:

haven't learned that yet. It is very interesting to observe

Unknown:

couples, young couples, or people that are just starting

Unknown:

out to date, they usually no put forward they're nice, nice

Unknown:

behavior, the good side, they never fight. They're always

Unknown:

joyous. They're excited to see each other. But come the one

Unknown:

year or sometimes two year benchmark. Chances are that you

Unknown:

went through a couple disagreements, a couple

Unknown:

discomforts. And it is there that you can see how different

Unknown:

we all grow up. We manage to approach conflicts differently.

Unknown:

Some are very energetic and very impulsive, very emotional about

Unknown:

conflict. And some people withdraw or become avoidant or,

Unknown:

yeah, totally shut down. When it comes to healing. The

Unknown:

interesting part about you know, being in an abusive

Unknown:

relationship, or growing up in an abusive household, is that

Unknown:

once you meet a partner, that is good for you, there will be

Unknown:

parts that feel wrong to your nervous system. Because they

Unknown:

don't stimulate you, like the people that you grew up with the

Unknown:

people that you experienced love with. And this is not meant in

Unknown:

any weird way. But it is through your mom, to your dad through

Unknown:

your siblings. Or if you grew up in a different environment, your

Unknown:

primary caretakers that you learn what love is, they prime

Unknown:

you so to say, but it is not necessarily the best version of

Unknown:

love for you. There's many different ways of experiencing

Unknown:

and living in love. And sometimes when we grow out of

Unknown:

Yeah, not so good pattern, when we hear we will encounter people

Unknown:

that set us off or trigger us or either under stimulate us or

Unknown:

over stimulate us, depending what we were used to. But this

Unknown:

is what I want to emphasize today is that sometimes the very

Unknown:

best thing for you the very best person for you the very best

Unknown:

decision for you and your future, your Higher Self your

Unknown:

best self feels awkward fields wrong to some degree fields

Unknown:

uncomfortable. And it is very important to keep in mind that

Unknown:

your nervous system has to slowly adjust. You cannot force

Unknown:

change upon you and nobody else outside of you can do it.

Unknown:

Although sometimes people think they can. But you can learn to

Unknown:

feel with your heart and with your mind that something

Unknown:

somebody who's standing in front of you might be damn right for

Unknown:

you. Yet your nervous system is still limping behind. It wants

Unknown:

you to be in the known. Right our mind always wants to be

Unknown:

knowing everything is always drawn to what we know best. But

Unknown:

it is not necessarily what is best for us. Sometimes it is so

Unknown:

worth it to choose discomfort. For some people, you know, that

Unknown:

are very active with online dating. They've been single for

Unknown:

a long time, and they just are becoming restless, they want to

Unknown:

be in a relationship, they want to have kids, they want to all

Unknown:

that jazz. And they did somebody that is their best match. But

Unknown:

they are bored. That oh my god, this is this is so quiet, this

Unknown:

is so calm. And even though their heart feels at ease with

Unknown:

them, the nervous system rejects them. Because it's not ready

Unknown:

yet. But you can train your nervous system. And you can

Unknown:

become aware that your nervous system is still a little bit

Unknown:

behind. But what you have sitting in front of you is

Unknown:

right. And so worth fighting for. That's why the path of

Unknown:

pleasure and desire. Fun is not always the right path for you.

Unknown:

I've learned that like two and a half years ago when I met my

Unknown:

partner, and my best friend by then said, Hey, you keep picking

Unknown:

the cherry and the whipped cream, go for the salary. And

Unknown:

what he meant by that is that I kept chasing people that were

Unknown:

unavailable. Sweet, exciting. And whenever I met somebody who

Unknown:

was calm and loving and opening up to me, I thought, Oh no, this

Unknown:

is not what I can handle. I'm not there yet.

Unknown:

was Alex my current partner I wanted to give myself a fair

Unknown:

chance I wanted to explore beyond that little boredom what

Unknown:

I felt and I feel so bad, so horrible when I say boredom, but

Unknown:

that's how I felt. I felt totally under stimulated yet my

Unknown:

heart was telling me this guy is good for your soul.

Unknown:

And I learned

Unknown:

that this overly stimulation outside of me was just a

Unknown:

reflection from my inside. I was so disturbed, so confused, so

Unknown:

lost inside that. Yeah, stimulation was keeping me in

Unknown:

check and calmness faced or mirrored the BS that was going

Unknown:

on inside of my head and my heart. And I wanted to run away

Unknown:

from it. But for some reason with this person, I decided to

Unknown:

stand still for a moment and to breathe through it and to see

Unknown:

what it has in stock for me. Instead of escaping, I decided

Unknown:

to dig deeper. And it served me very well. And this is why I'm

Unknown:

so passionate. I'm so yeah, I feel a deep urgency to share

Unknown:

this with you. Because when I've learned that my nervous system

Unknown:

was primed to something that is not serving me anymore, that is

Unknown:

actually not good for me. I was able to distinguish what is good

Unknown:

for me and what not. And remember my coaching. My

Unknown:

Unknown:
