Dana Balicki

It’s times like these when we can so easily withdraw, isolate, and zoom waaaay into the infinite facets of our own individual lives and go into hyper-vigilant, problem-solving mode. I get it. And while I fully support attending to one’s health, family, etc, I want to invite you into a bigger inquiry.

What’s bigger than a world pandemic, Dana??

Your contribution is.

Yes, you are sososoveryvery tiny. Me too! AND YET our collective thinking and caring make a big difference.

So, what do you want to contribute?

Here, I’ll go first. I want my contribution to be care, fierce attention, gentleness, kindness (not to be confused with niceness), loving transformation (which sometimes shows up as of-the-moment adaptation), and an ushering in of our compassionate evolution as two-legged, meatbag, sentient types.

But look, I’m no stranger to Ambivalence (and their bestie, Judgment). I’m an eye-roller — since I was a toddler says my mom. My kneejerk reaction is that people are mostly overreacting…about everything. Ambivalence is an old coping mechanism to protect me from feelings of not belonging that actually keeps me separate from others.

I’ll be honest. I eye-rolled about covid-19. Just last week, I was on a sailboat in Thailand thinking OMG PEOPLE ARE SO DRAMATIC when I read virus updates.

People are scared. In some parts of the world, people are negotiating survival. In all parts of the world, especially in the US, we have broken systems that are not prepared to hold us all in crisis. This is real. We can do this, together.

My favorite author, Rebecca Solnit, wrote in her (highly recommended) book A Paradise Built in Hell,

“Horrible in itself, disaster is sometimes a door back into paradise, that paradise at least in which we are who we hope to be, do the work we desire, and are each our sister’s and brother’s keeper.

You don’t have to subscribe to a political ideology, move to a commune, or join the guerrillas in the mountains; you wake up in a society suddenly transformed, and chances are good you will be part of that transformation in what you do, in whom you connect to, in how you feel. Something changes.”

We are in a collective transformation time for so many reasons. It’s ok to focus on, worry over, and grieve the individual changes you weren’t expecting or are not sure how to navigate. And let’s also remember the whole. We must remember us.

So friend, what about you? In this present moment, how do you REALLY want to show up? What do you want to contribute to the whole? If you want to hit reply and share, I’m here for you.

As a commitment and discipline to my contribution, I’m social-distancing to a point of quarantine since I’ve just been traveling through Asia. It’s part of how I’m going to care for my community. And in another 10 days, I can go back out and see where mutual aid work may be needed and where I can help.

I’ve also found these resources really helpful //

“it’s not panicking to take in data, recognize patterns, and adapt…everyone should be adapting now. in case you’re waiting for it to get worse before you shift, don’t. yes you. mm hmm. it’s not rude. it’s not overreacting. it’s thinking collectively.”

We’re all going to have to live with the decisions we — as individuals and as a society — make this week. We’ll live with them for the rest of our lives.

Be attentive to where your information is coming from. There’s a lot out there. Let your care extend to your scroll and share/repost button.

We can do this for each other with the care we most wish for our dearest beloveds.

I used to shut down when big feelings started welling up in me. Dissociate. Goodbye feelings! Hello, hazy drifting through intense times without really having to feel anything.

I would tell myself it was a healthy response, “Just let the feelings wash over me and be done with them.” But I didn’t really feel my feelings…I didn’t actually know how to feel them.

So, I learned because I knew I was robbing myself of really living.

A Training For You (and Your Feels)

This is why I created a 3-day *Healing Your Emotional Triggers* Training — a power-packed and wildly in-depth training to work with your emotions more skillfully. Sign up here. It’s free, my darling.

So yes, of course, I knew all about how important it was to “feel your feelings”, but when they were too big or too painful I didn’t see the point. I’d just grind on them until I was a pile of hot mess. Well, that was me mentally grinding, not actually feeling my feelings.

None of us go to emotions class when we’re young (Y THO??), so we learn from our parents, our communities, our culture. And that’s a reeeeal mixed bag of teachers and lessons.

We get taught about good emotions and bad emotions. Being “too big” with our feelings = not ok/appropriate/safe. So. Much. Programming.

A miraculous thing happens when you feel your feelings. They move through you. And you can get more connected with yourself and your true nature. You can understand yourself more deeply. It’s life-changing, %FIRSTNAME%.

The 3-Day *Healing Your Emotional Triggers* Process

• Welcome DAY ~ You receive some prep suggestions to get ready for the three days of training.
  
• DAY 1 ~ You work on tuning into your emotions with an exercise…feeling sensations in your body, really getting to know how energy moves through and lives in your body. A great practice that you can use over and over.
  
• DAY 2 ~ This day is the bulk of the training…I guide you through a multi-step process to explore your tender emotional patterns, peel the layers back to understand them more holistically and to work with/heal your triggers. You:
  • look at the habitual emotional pattern
  • examine what really happens when you’re triggered
  • explore how it feels in your body, the feelings that arise, the thoughts you have about those feelings, the physiology of the sensations
  • look at the belief beneath the emotional response
  • examine the root of that belief
  • do some sweet release work
  • call in some new ways of feeling/being in the triggered moments
  • zoom out to paint a new picture of how you want to be as you move through your beautiful life and bump against the old limiting beliefs
  • create a new thought (soon to become a belief through daily repetition and mental engagement) and new vision via an affirmation & visualization

• DAY 3 ~ This is the practice and implementation piece of the training. You receive guidance on how to work with these tools as well as support to activate and restore balance in your nervous system. These are all tools you can use over and over, forever ever.
  
• Ooooh, and you also get a grounding meditation to work with on the regular to support your clarity and emotional coherence practice.

“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others.”
― Pema Chödrön

Why can self-compassion be so hard? BECAUSE YOU’RE SO GOOD AT BEING MEAN TO YOURSELF.* 

Oh, I wish it weren’t true. But you have a ton of practice at it. So do most of us.

The #1 thing that comes up with nearly every single one of my 1-on-1 clients** is that they feel like it’s wildly difficult to create personal affirmations. Why? Because it feels weird and not-at-all-normal to say nice things to themselves.

Many of us learn that we must be generous to the point of over-giving to others (which leads to being “over” giving…get it?). Rarely are we so generous with ourselves.

Your Inner Child

Working with your Inner Child can be wildly healing. It’s a keystone of my work and a very tender way to build your self-compassion through connection, deep listening, and ultimately, reparenting yourself.

Your Inner Child can help you zoom into a time in your life when you unconsciously planted the seed for a life-long limiting and painful pattern. When you can go back and tend to that young one and forgive them for what was ultimately a bid to survive and make sense of the world, then you can create space for immense, quantum healing.

Oh, and forgiving yourself for holding onto those core limiting beliefs for so damn long can really help too. #understatement

Introducing Your Inner Elder

But I want you to meet another part of yourself who holds space for you. Who sits at the fire to share counsel with you.

I want to introduce you to your Inner Elder. They’re the one who can zoom out and hold the big picture. The one with vision, with the ability to see your whole journey and honor the path you’ve traveled.

They are the one who can offer so much unconditional love and compassion because they see you as you are…perfectly imperfect.

Yes, the Inner Child is a very well-known psychoanalytical term and while I’ve worked with Caroline Myss’s and Carl Jung’s archetype frameworks for years the idea of an Inner Elder isn’t explicitly named or explored.

I feel like it can be equated with calling on your Higher Self, or working with the very powerful Crone energy (of the Maiden/Mother/Crone aka the Triple Goddess) ⏤ the one who works with both divine masculine and feminine energies and holds the big picture for your long journey. I’ve introduced this one in my group course and it’s been so sweet to see how folks so naturally and compassionately engage with them(selves).

A Guided Meditation For Self-Compassion

In honor of this introduction, I made you a 15-min guided meditation for self-compassion and visionary connection with your Inner Elder.
It’s Libra season and I’m a Libra through and through. I’m here to honor your beauty, brilliance, and to help us bring justice/balance (the scales!) into our own lives and our collective reality through love and compassion.

Try being kind to yourself.
Soak up the beauty that is all around you.
Notice where there’s an imbalance in your life and instead of judging or coddling it, bring in gentleness and slow-down energy so you can come back home to you.

*I totally acknowledge that maybe you’ve done a good amount of inner work and your inner critic isn’t nearly as loud as it used to be…but it never goes away. There’s always more dancing with it.

** Want to chat about what some intimate and radically transformative coaching support could look and feel like? What could be possible if you invest your precious time, money, and energy in you (radical by itself)? Book a free 30-min discovery session consult with me. You ready?

Sometimes we learn through inspiration (ie “Wowza, I want that exact thing/ to be that way”) and sometimes we learn through contrast (ie “Whooooaaaa Nellie, I do not EVER want that again/ to be like that”).

Sure, most of us would rather the inspirational wisdom, but that’s not always what the universe delivers.

Contrast can feel deeply unpleasant. Ultimately, it creates destabilizing feelings that we humxns are always trying to get away from.

So, if we (understandably) put contrast in the category of “badness” then the situation is definitely going to be a real bummer. If we put it in the “helpful & beneficial” basket, then there’s an opportunity. For what? That’s up to you!

This isn’t an “everything happens for a reason so just choke it down” missive. That’s victimhood framing, btw.

This is hopefully a needed disruption in your thinking/feeling patterns to remind you that you can embrace contrast and learn to work with it more skillfully.

“You can manage the contrast in a way that would serve you without going down the path of unwanted.” – Abraham Hicks

One way to work with the contrast more mindfully is to let it help you clarify your vision. For example, if you try to think about what you want in an ideal relationship or sacred work, you might find yourself just coming up with a list of shit that you don’t want to have/do/be.

You might hear yourself say or think, “Well, I’m SO good at knowing what I don’t want, but it feels hard to know what I do want.” Sound familiar? The good news is that you can turn all the stuff you don’t want AKA contrast, into a treasure chest of what you do want AKA vision.

First, consider an area of your life such as:

• your relationships, romantic and otherwise
• your relationship to money and abundance
• your work in the world/ your career
• your relationship to your body
• your relationship to spirit and spirituality

Second, make that list of all the learnings through contrast you’ve collected over the years.

Finally, take that list and, point-by-point, articulate the opposite. What’s the other side of the contrast? What’s the feeling/experience you do want instead of this one you don’t want?

Having clarity of vision is helpful because if you can start to understand HOW YOU WANT TO FEEL, then you’re on your way to creating a life that supports those internal feeling experiences vs trying for big external goals in hopes they might make you feel happier.

The last note here on contrast is…IT HAPPENS. It’s part of the learning spectrum. Sometimes it’s stark and sometimes it’s oh-so-subtle. Try on accepting that it will happen and you have a choice to take something useful from it or not.*

This was a real channeled message today, as I had something queued up on self-compassion (will send out next week, stay tuned). But this really wanted to come through, so here you go!

* In the moment might not be the best timing to pluck out any lesson. Sometimes we need to sit with the pain and/or discomfort and come back later to grab that seed.

Have you ever had your body just tell you to stop? DO NOT PASS GO. QUIT IT. YA BASTA!

Maybe it came through an external expression like an accident. Or maybe through an internal break-check like illness.

These are the most common ways most of us receive the info to slow down…we usually need a huge hulking sign to just step right in front of us as we come slamming to a halt into it. OOOOF.

Here’s the thing though. Before you got smacked down, your body was likely giving you a ton of cues to pause. Feelings and sensations in the body. Thoughts like, “Gosh, I’m so tired of this, I really need a break.”

But like so many of us, you ignored those cues.

Why? Because your mind (rife with old programming) was overriding your body. Your ego probably piped up and said something like “Hey, we can’t stop because there’s so much to do! It’s weak to need to rest. You can’t have what you really want if you slow down.” Or something like that, amiright?

Thoughts are the language of the brain. Feelings are the language of the body.

Our culture, for the most part, teaches us that our bodies are just transportation devices for our brains. And the body? Meh, make it look good (whatever that means) and feel good enough to keep pushing forward.

Get your ego up in the mix* and it can be hard to subvert the programming that you should push your feelings down and forge ahead to achieve everything before you rest.

And even when you’re living your best life, doing your most purposeful and sacred work, connecting with the divine source within on-the-regularrrrr, and cultivating the most generous and loving relationships, you are susceptible to the hustle-lie. Because we’re all swimming in the programming.

Or shit, maybe you don’t know/remember how to read the cues (the sensations/feelings/thoughts) because you’ve spent your lifetime pushing them down.

Welcome to the club! The world has certainly supported you in not listening to yourself…and when you don’t, someone else likely benefits.

But OH, THE COST.

After my last course launch, I paused. I was having a hard time being present. My nervous system needed tending and I couldn’t do it while constantly checking/sharing on instagram and scanning my emails compulsively.

So, I put my phone down and dove into some practices that embrace my nervous system and support me in my capacity for real healing.

I swam in the ocean and rivers, cackled wildly with girlfriends, ate and cooked gorgeously fresh food, wandered through jungle and redwood forests, adventured in my favorite places in the world, took walks under the moon, delicious sex, started writing a book, read 3 books, sewing projects with my auntie, made space to look at my big picture, our big picture, deep and sweet convos with friends and family, watched my fave 80s movies on VHS (including Lost Boys, Working Girl, Look Who’s Talking < my husb’s pick), fondled soooo many plants, and more.

I didn’t have to burn out or get sick this time. I didn’t need some disaster to happen to know I needed a slowdown. One day I opened instagram and just felt a big ol’ NOT TODAY SATAN vibe from my gut and closed the app. It took a month before I felt the go-ahead to engage again.

My body and mind felt synced and satisfied with my space-taking. Mostly.

I certainly got a few blips of feeling guilty (ugh, most useless emotion) like I wasn’t showing up how “I should”…like I wasn’t caring enough for others because I wasn’t sharing and engaging constantly.

Here’s the thing though, my cup is refilled. And it feels goooooood. I know that I can’t do anything for you, for me, for us, unless it is.

Yes, I’m here for world peace. For collective liberation and our magnificent evolution. And my #1 commitment has my cup. It has to be because I cannot serve, YOU CANNOT SERVE, when we have nothing to give.

Ask yourself…

• Are you your #1?
• If not, why not? And when you investigate that “why not”, I invite you to look at whose voice is telling you that you’re not as important as someone else.
• Is your cup empty?
• Have you been receiving messages from your inner guidance (or hell, your trusted community) to slow down?
• Do you think you’re really serving your vision when you’re ignoring your own needs, desires, guidance?
• What is worth more than your connection to yourself?
• How much longer can you go on like this?

The world doesn’t need our dregs, our bottom of the barrel, our bare minimum, our burnout (um, she told me, so I know this for sure).

The world needs our brilliance, our authenticity, our love, our tenderness, our ferocity.

I’m here for profound stability in a completely unstable world. For stability that is flowing, compassionate, liberatory, and sometimes a quiet exchange with the earth and no one else.

“No, he’s not invited.”

That’s the question people kept asking me when I told them I was going to Hawai’i to launch my group course, start birthing a book into the world, and in general just be in a tropical paradise.

I wanted to be by myself. To have a new experience. To stretch out of the comfort zone of partnership and into a (temporary) world of solo adventure.

Plus, I’m fucking rad and I love my own company.

The idea came about after my last launch when Ryan and I were having it out over him not feeling like I was giving him enough attention (a common theme that he never sees at first, though he’s getting better). I’m a Libra, I’m a real romantic tend-er to my loved ones. When I go into my own world it can be pretty jarring.

So during this hash-out, I said, “Next time I’m going to an island to do my launch and then everyone will be happier.” A few months later my dear friend asked if I wanted to house sit her retreat center for a few weeks.

Thank you, universe.

Leaving for three weeks was a leap out of my comfort zone. Doing a launch in a new place and without someone making sure I ate every day was a real risk. There were challenges. Ones that I truly could not have foreseen and yet, it was perfect. It was such a rich time for me.

I found a new comfort zone in this leap and I can feel the expansion. New ideas are making their way into my sphere. New energy moving through me. New challenges that I’m determined to make into opportunities.

I was nervous to do it. People kept asking “you’re going all alone?” and it seemed so obvious to me because I love being by myself.

It wasn’t always this way. 

Being alone used to feel…well…lonely.

I had a lot of unpacking and healing to do around that story/pattern in order to be alone and not feel like I was lacking. Now instead, I feel so full and rich in my solo time.

In fact, I think alone time is essential to see and hear yourself. To cultivating the courage to stretch out of the comfort zone and into terra incognita…unknown territory! The great mystery! The place where growth happens!

While alone time is now my comfort zone, a solo trip and program launch (always such a wild growth time for me!) for three weeks was stretchy. But hey, now it’s a new normal. A thing I know how to do. And do it damn well, I might add.*

We stretch out of our comfort zones and then that unknown territory becomes more normal. Little by little (or all of a sudden), we feel more confident in these new spaces and we expand. Just like that.

>> Some folks were asking me after the launch if I do 1-on-1 sessions. I do! You can check out the details right here.

* discovered that eating a poké bowl while sitting in the ocean is one of my new favorite things. and paddle-boarding. and discovering hidden coves and listening to the sound of the water moving through the rocks when I put my ears all the way underwater (that’s an oldie but goodie).

[originally published in (the exquisite) ravenous zine, issue III “activism”]

The divine masculine is personified as focused, purposeful, discerning, and courageous. In its purest form, the masculine is pushing us forward into our future. A magnificent one ripe with possibility and meaning.

The essence of the divine feminine is that of profound connection and intuition. Of a nurturing and undulating wisdom that comes from experience, patience, and a feeling-knowing.

The divine masculine asks us, “what is possible?” 

The divine feminine asks us, “what is of value?” 

As conscious humxns living on the planet we, ideally, dance with both of these questions and discover what’s deeply meaningful so we can bring it to life and change our world.

Yet, we live in fractured times. A present based on centuries of wounding built right atop so many of the wounded. Our hyper-masculinized overculture has turned what is possible into an endlessly (and gruesomely) rewarded race without a finish line and without the necessary feminine balance to process what is most important, personally and collectively. Our divine feminine nature has largely been compromised, compressed, and diluted. 

This elemental fracture landed squarely in my body in the dog days of summer 2008. I was five years into ceaseless anti-war organizing for a grassroots womxn’s peace organization, with whom I’d traveled to Iran, toured a group of Iraqi womxn around the country, lived and organized in post-Katrina New Orleans, and infiltrated and disrupted countless high profile ultra-conservative events. I was recovering from altitude sickness, a steady diet of warm chardonnay and what is possible while organizing non-stop political spectacle around the Presidential Conventions. I felt like a burned-out tree trunk – singed bark, crispy leaves, root system flickering offline. I felt empty… like it was going to be a while before life came fully back to the whole of me. 

I’d spent the previous several years people-pleasing because – as I’d soon learn – I had a pattern of attaching my inherent value to other people and their perceived approval of me while projecting Kali-level furies at government officials who did the same thing. I didn’t understand the concept of boundaries and I didn’t know that “no” was a complete sentence.

These were things the world taught me.

I took on responsibility for other people’s emotional experiences and tried to control the uncontrollable. Problem-solving became my main currency. Troublemakers can make the best troubleshooters. More lessons from the world that many of us girl-children are handed and we internalize because our mothers and grandmothers did the same.

I felt guilty if I slowed down or took time for myself. I felt fortunate to get whatever I was offered and asking for more, even if it’s what I needed, was greedy and excessive. I would hold my pee for hours. I had a hard time telling what hunger felt like in my body because I was mostly too busy to do anything about it. I felt that spirituality and personal growth were not revolutionary enough. These were things that anti-capitalist organizing taught me. My friends and I now call it punk damage.

I victimed. I martyred. And for a long time, I didn’t take responsibility (or know that I could and how it would heal me when I did) for any of that. Most all the young organizers around me were in the same churn-and-burn-hold-the-world-up-and-not-ourselves cycle with me. We weren’t modeling sustainability or care or love in all of our actions, but then again, they hadn’t really been modeled for us.

I couldn’t see then how regenerative this burn would be or how through it I’d become a different tree – new shape, new perspective, new substance – altogether.

While the burnout flames were still just licking my bark, I overheard two movement leaders (one my boss at the time, the other her husband) going back and forth about which was the right approach to change – the dismantling and exposing or the visioning and building anew? They were positioned as energetic opposites. Did they need to be or was this just the fracture pushing us toward a false dichotomy, like every US election cycle?

After that, I anxiously thought about whether our approach of naming and shaming was the right way. There was a never-ending list of names to shame. Problems to solve. Since we were oriented around troubleshooting, we’d always be putting out and causing fires that would then need more putting out. And even if we extinguished a big fire – like stopping a war with Iran – if a majority of young activists were burnt and then perpetuating the same hustle/problem-solving pathology, did it count? Yes, perhaps thousands of lives would be saved (important), but by reinforcing the fracture/not really changing our internal and external programming, did it really matter? Were we just trying to win or trying to do the most valuable thing? 

I needed answers to questions I barely had the courage and clarity to ask. Just months after the conventions, on my 29th birthday, I’d found a healing community of young womxn artists and activists where I would finally learn how to slow down and truly hear myself and others.

Over the next year in this small group, without a campaign to fight for or an organized rallying cry, I learned what healing and change felt like inside my body. It’s where I learned to ask other questions now central to my philosophy of change, “Who am I and what am I here to bring?” Learning who I was was essential to understanding what was most valuable. In that inquiry, I could finally sense the key to sustainability. When I asked “Who am I?” with relentless ferocity and was met with a support system and a structure to do it, I could embody change. I could literally experience what change felt like in my limbs. I was far from regenerated, but the smoke was clearing and I could sense myself again. Or maybe for the first time. Before then, I was trying to make change happen out in the world (and in other people’s communities) when I didn’t know it for myself.

I saw that much of the change work I’d been involved in was fueled by projections of my own and the collective shadow. By doing my own healing work and releasing that it was not “revolutionary enough”, I was contributing to collective healing.

When we heal, the earth heals. This space created by embodying change is where what is of value meets what is possible.

Moving at breakneck speeds, even for the cause, keeps us from seeing what is truly important to us and our communities.

In order to rebalance by consistently making room for the divine feminine aspects in all of us, we must go slow in a world that teaches us fast is the only way.

The trick of slowing down is to realize that we’ve been programmed into thinking that it’s less effective when ineffectiveness is positioned as a cardinal sin, so slowness = sinful. This is the same as saying the divine feminine is sinful, which we know has been a popular point of world religions and petty misogynists for millennia.

By understanding my own personal burnout as something that started in my childhood and had been living in my emotional, physical, mental and spirit bodies for decades (and lifetimes even), I could feel the real long game we needed to be playing. The one of personal healing as access to collective healing. In my many reflections of our movement haste, I felt that we were often sustainability-adjacent – fighting against the destruction of our environment by the military, but recreating/reinforcing a resource burnout culture.

In my slowed down innerwork, “sustainability” came out of this overused oft-green-washed enviro-speak space into something that began to settle into my bones. Embodying change can teach us from the inside out so we can go the long haul. We must.

This was the energy I brought into my Occupy Wall Street organizing. I wasn’t there the first day, or the second, or the third or the tenth. I was watching from afar (Brooklyn) and checking in with myself because I could feel the tidal pull on my bones and I could tell it would be all-consuming. Cue flames and flame outs.

It’s said that when a forest burns, what comes back may not resemble what was lost. After 3 years of deeply personal and transformative healing, my tree was different. I knew how to set boundaries. I had a sense of my own value and worth. I had grown my capacity to take care of myself on an emotional, spiritual, physical and mental level. I was not yet masterful in any of these but I knew enough to say no to others (and yes to myself) when necessary. So even though the smoke was thick around Occupy, I did not burn. 

While there was no centralized organizing or demands (by intentional design), there was an effort to get people to really feel the effects of late stage capitalism on their own lives and to use that energy to shape change in their homes, businesses, and communities. For all the things that can be and have been said about Occupy we knew in our roots that embodiment was key. Which is why I stayed active for almost two years while also being called to start my own coaching practice.

I believe we have to know what that revolution, what that pure experience of vision, feels like in our bodies in order to create it. When we heal, the earth heals. This space created by embodying change through slowing down and through personal transformation is where what is of value meets what is possible. It’s not an end point, it’s an experience. It’s pain and pleasure. We dance with it, journey with it, embrace it until our time is up.

Here’s Day 1 of my 5-day #ConfusiontoClarity series and I’m so excited to dive right in!

Are you’re seeking clarity in some big or small areas of your life? Career, partnership, purpose, city, family? And you’re feeling oh so ready to move through the fog of confusing thoughts and into the rest of your life? Well, give the replay above a watch, then go to…
