Even when in the surface they look like a good thing o actually as good virtues even, and maybe in cases they do.</p><div class="pullquote"><p><strong>Avoidance and Escapism are ways of running away from Fear or refusing to confront Fear.</strong></p></div><p>This article i<strong>s to help you to detect the moments when either or both of them</strong> are just Fear covering itself through the lens of <em><strong>waiting and patience.</strong></em></p><p>First things first: Patience and waiting generally speaking they come together and maybe they are even connected for many of us.</p><p>Second point would be to ask ourselves in a situation where we are being patient: <strong>Why am I being patient? Am I waiting for something to happen?</strong></p><p><em>These two questions will place you in the right place of identifying if the situation you are at, do need patience (here is the patience that is a virtue) or Not (The purpose of this article).</em></p><p><strong>The other way to also detect this pattern is to notice the activities you are indulging at, even if these are activities that are beneficial and wonderful.</strong> </p><p>Why?</p><p>Many of the activities we do sometimes comes from a desire to run away from our reality.</p><p><code>*I know this could sound such a cliche but bear with me*</code></p><p>Our reality (especially if we are struggling with a certain situation or we are stuck in a certain situation would mean <strong>dealing with difficult emotions</strong>).</p><p>Our mind interpretates this as danger and will act accordingly. As if it were truly danger. </p><p>And Avoidance and Escapism can simply mean <strong>FLIGHT response</strong>, or a run away response masked with <strong>patience and waiting</strong> (Which both come from different cultures and religions and viewed as good virtues).. </p><p><strong>And we love to be good as humans. We love to perceive ourselves as good.</strong></p><div class="pullquote"><p><strong>You get the trap? Why can we fall into this without noticing?</strong></p></div><p><strong>Now if you want to know if you are in such a condition, get your journal and work these prompts:</strong></p><p>1-What does patience mean to me? And what does waiting mean?</p><p>I find it helpful to google the meaning of the words. It helps me with understanding the words. </p><p>one of the definitions of patience is<strong> the ability to persevere over a long period of time despite opposition, difficulty, or adversity. <a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/patience">Check it here.</a></strong></p><p>2-Write down the situation. Write it fully. Take your time.</p><p>3-Am I being patient here?What do I get by being patient here?</p><p>4-Am I waiting? For whom? For what?</p><p>These will help you have clarity about a certain situation and to detect Avoidance and Escapism.</p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

For <strong>two reasons:</strong></p><ol><li><p>We have resistance towards facing the pain and more so if facing this pain means acknowledging that we are bad in something.</p></li><li><p>This response is so tricky and goes un noticed for many of us who are in the healing path sometimes.</p></li></ol><p>I observe that many of our patterns are related to our human experience in its&#8217; nature and challenges.</p><p>The fact that we have minds, egos, passions, desires&#8230;etc. Trying to analyse these patterns in a way that satisfy our individual needs even for the most acknowledged psychologists would be impossible.</p><p>Every one of us (beautiful humans) is a mix of complicated layers, and each layer in the spiral of healing and of life would open us to another layer, while we are struggling with the polarities that&#8217;s our minds nature.</p><p>My approach is to focus on what is happening NOW, what are you feeling now? In the current situation you are facing what is going on? If you are triggered why are you triggered?&#8230;</p><blockquote><p><strong>I take the lens and focus it and direct it to a point. A precise point.</strong></p></blockquote><p>The base of my work is that we are <strong>interconnected </strong>and we are one with the whole of life; so if I am feeling some pain from someone or some condition my approach is l<strong>et me see it from my internal experience.</strong></p><p>(Watch this video if you haven&#8217;t about the base of my work)</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;c4c8210b-66e1-4425-893b-16232f1fcdf7&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Healing so we realise our interconnectedness and oneness.&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:&quot;Watch now&quot;,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;sm&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;The Base and Basics of my work&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:150914730,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Mona Eisa.com&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;Mona Eisa.com is a Healing container.

&#8220;free&#8221; environment, no rules nor restrictions.</p><p><strong>What would this child do? Imagine it.Let your imagination fly.</strong></p><p><em>This is curiosity.</em></p><p><strong>This free open state.</strong></p><p>Many of us through the process of socialisation (or conditioning) loose touch with this curiosity.</p><blockquote><p>Through fear based rules and through control we learned to shutoff our natural state of curiosity.</p></blockquote><p><strong>Curiosity holds within it an openness, it allows wonder and even encourages imagination.</strong></p><p><code>Who are we without our imagination?</code></p><p><code>Can you imagine us as humans living without our imagination? Nothing would have been created then.Impossible yeah?</code></p><h3><strong>And if this imagination gets to be free?</strong></h3><p>This <em>curious natural state</em> can be <strong>re-activated</strong> and <strong>re-ignited </strong>and this will help us in healing restrictive and controlling patterns within us without effort.</p><p>(Restrictive patterns are the group of thoughts and emotions that are restrictive and controlling for our natural state. Most probably they run in our unconscious mind. Meaning we don&#8217;t have conscious awareness about them)</p><p><em>The exercise below will help you greatly in discovering them, be open and curious.</em></p><p><strong>My invitation to you is to journal about this:</strong></p><p>1-Do I feel curious in my daily life?</p><p>2-Do I practise curiosity?</p><p>3-Can I be more curious?</p><p>4-Where do I feel I am restricting myself?</p><p>5-Can I add curiosity to this place of restriction?</p><p>6-What is one action I can do today to be more curious?</p><p>I send you much Love.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

humanity is an archetype participating in the bigger picture of creation.</p><blockquote><p><em>The second part of this article is meant to make you reflect and think about the questions that are written. </em></p></blockquote><p>Is the way of the human then is acting like this? both positively and negatively?<strong> in alignment</strong> with earth and life and <strong>against</strong> earth and life also?</p><p>Let us go back to the building..</p><p><strong>This tall building, is it shaking? or is it stable and sure?</strong></p><p><strong>Using this example, where are we today?</strong></p><p><strong>Did we build a weak base ? Did our ancestors do a good job? all of them? part of them?</strong></p><p><strong>If the quality of the cement is based on love how strong is the cement?</strong></p><p>I don&#8217;t believe in healing only in an individual level anymore. It serves us to some point and it is necessary but we need to face the truth and the reality of our interconnectedness to heal all together and to understand each other and the state of the world and our humanity.</p><p><strong>And what about the natural factors that make the building stand tall and strong?What about the Rain? The Sun? The Wind? The Land itself? What about natural disasters?</strong></p><p><strong>Can we really stand in our humanity without care to nature then?</strong></p><p>I leave you with this example and this reflection, hope it lands where it needs to for you.</p><p>Happy new year, may it brings you all what you need.</p><p><strong>Much Love.</strong></p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.mona-eisa.com/p/thoughts-on-our-humanity?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

process of unraveling</p><p>I have defined healing in different ways through my writings. </p><p>You can read the article <strong><a

href="https://open.substack.com/pub/meisayagoub/p/healing?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&amp;utm_medium=web">Healing..</a></strong></p><p><strong>Unravelling what does this word mean?</strong></p><p>I use it here as<em> intransitive verb to become unraveled, to become disentangled, to become cleared up.</em></p><p><strong>This means ,slowly things start to surface, things start to show up and thus giving us the opportunity to heal them.</strong></p><p>The wound heals very slowly in a physical way. <em>We don&#8217;t see the intelligence inside us that makes a wound heal. </em></p><p>Through medicine we understand it, but when we have a wound we tend to it, we visit a doctor or a nurse or even use a natural remedy. And then slowly it recovers and heals.</p><p><strong>In the same way healing our life is like that.</strong></p><p>Our wounds come from the negative part of conditioning (because not all of it is negative), the society, experiences and our interpretations of all of them together. We get wounded as a response to these factors and many others.</p><p><em>We are complex beings as humans.</em></p><p>If our healing journey is starting from a <strong>disappointment</strong> or a<strong> heart break</strong> we also must tend to this<strong> (painful emotion)</strong>in the same way we tend to a physical wound.</p><p>The practices that can help us in healing our emotion and wellbeing are also part of the intelligence that is inside of us and that make the wounds heal in our physical body, but in order to access it we need to <strong>activate it.</strong></p><p><strong>Activate our healing capabilities inside of us, allowing for our healing journey to start, allowing our </strong><em><strong>unravelling to begin.</strong></em></p><p>This intelligence is always available for us to connect with. </p><blockquote><p>It is the wisdom inside, it is the soul, it is the interior world, it is our heart getting activated.</p></blockquote><p>All healing practices help us in cultivating this intelligence. <strong>And any healing modality that does not is not a complete healing modality.</strong></p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.mona-eisa.com/p/activating-the-healing-intelligence?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!
