“I’d just like to express my massive heart-felt gratitude to Shawn Mahshie for a year of support and hanging on in there with me through some very tricky emotional times, including my dear mother’s death. Thank you for your love and insightful compassion, and modeling what I needed to become. There are no words – because the change is still in progress and potentially massive in that – much like the Butterfly effect of the flap of wings on the other side of the world – who can predict what a kind word to self or others does when it might not otherwise have been that way? The impact can never be known but it feels like an unfolding and emergence – it has clearly changed me for the good! Thank you for all also for all my partners in this amazing group. Each and every one of you has helped me beyond words! Sending my love!”
What Is Self-Solidarity?"
“Self-Solidarity is the art and science of standing with, by, and for yourself, no matter what. No matter how things go, no matter who is angry, or even who leaves. It’s a sense of unshakable safety from your own inner critic, and in fact you begin to turn your inner critic into the champion of your own happiness.
Self-Solidarity is the idea that at the same time you are undoing so much of the ego’s story and dismantling your old self, you begin to meet and fall completely in love with the most tender part of you that is still holding on to the thinking (and thus innocently creating what remains of your suffering).
In this reconciliation, you become who you really are: the unconditional forgiveness, warm understanding, and unfailing self-solidarity and self-advocacy that cannot come from ANYONE or ANYTHING outside you (and or in finding that inner connection, you also connect to EVERYTHING outside you). You and the small scared parts of yourself will begin to experience a sacred and absolute belonging to each other that allows you to look forward to whatever life brings!
Whatever you have experienced of this, it is just the tip of the iceberg. If you continue, this sweet self-solidarity will become the mainstay of your existance and your mainline to what is beyond existence. Together we will face the fear of worse-case scenarios where external events are concerned—and discover that the cost of failing to support, beating up, and so quickly ‘leaving’ our most innocent, well-meaning selves is worse–for ourselves, others, and the planet–than ANY other consequence we fear.”
