Mothering Your Self: Why Inner Healing Isn’t Selfish

And how learning to clear your energetic field can change your healing trajectory…

There are times in life when we long to be held—not just physically, but emotionally, energetically, even spiritually.
Not fixed, not corrected, just held. Seen. Made room for.

That longing doesn’t make you weak.
In fact, it may be one of the most intelligent instincts your body has.

But what if—just for a moment—you could explore the possibility that the field you're looking for already exists within you?

🌱 The Original Field: How We First Learned to Heal

From the moment we began forming in the womb, our systems were wise. We knew what to do, how to grow, and when. But we also knew what we couldn’t do alone.

So we projected what we couldn’t yet hold—our hunger, our discomfort, our overwhelm—into the field of our mother. In CST, we call this energetic space Zone B: the surrounding space that holds what we’re not able to process or meet in the moment.

Zone B was our first healing environment. It taught us that it’s okay to not carry everything ourselves.
It was also our first boundary: a buffer between our raw inner world and the outside.

The thing is—we still use it.

🌬 How Adults Still Project into Zone B

Even after we individuate, many of us continue to project into our Zone B.
We unconsciously deposit things there that feel too complex, too exhausting, or too inconvenient to deal with in the moment.

• The emotions we’re too busy to feel

• The needs we’ve been taught to ignore

• The stress we’ve tried to breathe past

• The fears that still whisper quietly behind our confidence

We might also project onto other people—expecting them to hold things for us that we haven’t fully acknowledged in ourselves. This is human. It’s not a flaw.
But over time, it clutters our field and makes it hard to know what’s truly ours… and what’s noise.

That’s where the healing begins.

🌸 Self-Mothering Isn’t Selfish. It’s Spacious.

When we talk about “mothering your self,” we’re not talking about bubble baths or self-indulgence.
We’re talking about showing up for the parts of you that feel unmet, overwhelmed, or scattered.

It starts by clearing your Zone B—the energetic field around you—so you can feel your own presence again. So your nervous system can stop reacting to static and start responding to your truth.

This is the work we’ll be doing in May’s Observatory session.
We’ll begin with the Snow Globe technique to help the body settle, and then move into guided Zone B awareness—a powerful practice that teaches you how to:

• Notice what you’ve projected or stored externally

• Gently invite it back in, or release what’s not yours

• Restore neutrality, clarity, and emotional breathing room

You don’t need to solve everything to feel better.
Sometimes you just need to clear the field and listen.

🧭 Why This Work Deepens Your Hands-On Sessions

If you already receive Craniosacral Therapy (or other bodywork), this kind of guided awareness doesn’t replace what we do in person—it deepens it.

By learning to clear and tend your Zone B between sessions, you give your system a head start:

• You arrive more present

• You integrate more smoothly

• And your healing process becomes more continuous, not just session-based

It’s like brushing your teeth between cleanings.
Except instead of plaque, you’re clearing tension, confusion, and unconscious overwhelm.

Not ready to join yet? That’s okay.
Let this idea simmer:

You are still worthy of care, even when no one else sees your need.
You’re allowed to tend to yourself, not because you’re broken—
but because you are whole, and you deserve to feel that wholeness again.

And sometimes, mothering your self is simply about remembering what was never lost.
