Quote by Ajmal, from the book "Borders of the Inner World"

“There is a saying from a Persian poet: “ When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me ”. ... Effortless freedom is not about laziness or disengagement. It is about trusting in timing and allowing space for life to unfold. It is the art of pursuing goals with passion but without attachment to specific results.”

We may battle triggers. Or we can suddenly be slammed with fight, flight, freeze, or fawn mode. Each of these signs are a normal trauma response. Even if we are unaware that it’s linked to our emotional trauma.”

“Assault survivors respond differently. There's no right or wrong way to react after being physically, emotionally, and/or sexually abused. Some people don't discuss it. They prefer to not rehash it. Others may need to communicate their shock, pain, anger, and trauma. Either way, the assault can be so overwhelming that we may respond in three ways - fight, flight, or freeze.”

“If we practice moving toward our body’s distress, however—meaning noticing our body’s reactions, taking them seriously, and working with our body, not against it—we give ourselves a better chance of mitigating or reducing distress or harm to ourselves or those who love us.”
