Hello dear one,

For a few weeks now I've been writing to you about imprints, the patterns we carry from our very beginnings, the story that shows up in the smallest moments of an ordinary day and also in our milestone moments. (How we do one thing is how we do everything!) I've made something that gathers it all into one place, and it's ready for you.

It's a short video (under 6 minutes). In it, I tell you about the first time I really saw an imprint, a three-day-old baby who changed the way I understand all of us, and what it means that the body remembers what the mind cannot. It's the clearest picture I've made of this work.

You can watch the video here: https://thrivinghumans.org/back-to-birth​

Give it a quiet few minutes when you can. Some of it may land differently on a second viewing, once it's had time to settle.

And when you've watched, if you'd like more, we have three different pathways for you depending on who you are and what you'd like to explore next.

If you're a parent, wondering why the transitions are hard, or raising an older child and hoping to support them as they move into the world, there's something ready for you today. A gentle 25-minute masterclass, supporting your understanding of your child specifically.

If you're simply trying to understand yourself, curious about your own beginnings and the patterns you look back and realize you've always carried, there's a place for you, too. This one is still being made, and you'll be the first to know when it opens.

And if you sit with families, with babies, with people moving through hard transitions, as a midwife, a therapist, someone who walks alongside others and wants to offer something more than what's wrong with them, there's a way forward for you too, and it will be opening soon.

All three live on the same page, right where the video is. Watch first. Then choose the path that's right for you.

Be curious. Be kind. Start with yourself.

Warmly,

Rebecca
