The alternative.
Reflecting on this month's series of posts addressing the intersection of consciousness, psi & psychic abilities, ESP, neurodivergence, trauma, nervous & sensory systems (yep it was lot ...scroll back through my feed), I've been considering what an alternative support, health & education service would look like. The alternative to the mind/logic dominant, top-down, medicalised, pathologising, dehumanising, paradigm we have been operating & living within. From my lived personal & professional experience, the alternative would include: Earlier appreciation & understanding sensory (&extra sensory) processing & perception differences Acceptance, validation, role modelling & mentorship around how to live well regardless of bodymind human diversity &difference To be neither labelled superhuman & gifted nor medicalised & pathologised To be taught from preschool through to university: physical, sensory, social, energetic & psychic boundaries (& have them respected) how our nervous systems work & how to support regulation how to safely release survival energies & stress how to ground - energetic & psychic hygiene how I can contribute to society & where our skills would be valued conflict management & resolution skills To receive a holistic education that integrates mind, body, energy, & spirit—encompassing a variety of worldviews and accommodating different ways of knowing—from externally regulated, trained teachers who have both academically studied this modalities & possess lived experience mastery. Rehumanising spaces across society - making places humane, hospitable, humanitarian, low-arousal, sensory-friendly Integrating relational & regulatory principles into workplaces, along with the values of connection, belonging, creativity, flexible working arrangements, role carving, & strengths-based recruitment. This would be a start. #educateevolveembody #embodiment #spirituality #depathologise #rehumanise
