Satisfying with Nourishment

Over the weekend, I allowed myself deep rest after the high cortisol week.

My therapist pointed out that in order to rest we must also nourish. This is based in the Sensitivity Cycle by Hakomi therapist Ron Kurtz.

This theory states that we have 4 parts to a full experience: 

Insight: Awareness that I want or need something

Response and Action: I do something about it

Satisfaction: I experience nourishment from fulfillment

Completion and Rest: I release seeking and relax

Each of us can have barriers to one of these fields that weakens the cycle. For me, that is in the area of allowing nourishment, which also blocks my ability to fully rest. 

Today I ask, what is nourishing for you? How do you sense your own satisfaction with a task?

For me, feeling relaxed is more about shifting my energy positively rather than laying around.
