About Griselda.

I like to make things easier for myself by giving everything a name.

When I can turn an energy or something else abstract into a more tangible thing, I can connect with it deeper.

This started with me, giving my relationship with money a name.

Such an abstract thing that I couldn't really connect with.

This was many moons ago, but I think I remember it well by saying I gave the energy and everything involved around it, the name Edward.

Just for fun, to pull it a bit closer to me.

I started writing Edward letters, and asking him who he was, and who he was to me.

I started thinking about Edward like a person that I wanted to make my friend. And I saw very clearly in my relationship with Edward that I didn't always trust him. I mostly believed what the world told me about him, and my parents, and my entire lineage. I saw that I gave him a lot of responsibility. It was a very codependent relationship.

And once this became more clear, I could start healing my relationship with him. I started seeing him for what he was. An energy, a resource, a way to be in life, and I started to rebuild my trust in him.

I started doing this with more and more topics in my life.

I would give things a name, preferably a fun and slightly silly name.

And I would start to pull things closer to me.

The intention was never to push things away by naming these things, or to dodge my accountability. Or to get some by pass healing extravaganza going.

I named it so I could connect. And once I connected deeper I could see myself deeper.

There is no denying that we host many, many different parts of existence.

The aim is to unpack them, to get an overview, to get clarity and to really start to see thing for what they are.

So I did the same thing for one of the gatekeepers of my core wound.

I named Griselda, I envisioned her, as a real being.

I went deep into detail of who she is, and what her job is, how to communicate with her, how to comfort her.

We all have these personality positions in us. These fragmented parts of our spirit. And they all have specific tasks. My job as Navaya is to connect with these parts in myself. I am not saying I am not Griselda or Edward or Diego or Thanos. I am saying I am all these parts, and the essence of who I am is not this.

I am everyone and no one at the same time.

I encourage you to name these voices in your mind. To give names to intangible things in your life. Only with the aim to pull them closer and to  melt with them.

I promise it's fun, and now after years of practicing this I can honestly say that every relationship I have with all the parts that I can see now, are in a healing season.
