Even if the King of Demons claws his way from hell, I Will not Kneel.

Even if agony wraps me in chains and scorches my soul, I Will not Kneel.

Even if I'm beaten, scarred, and left crawling in the dirt, I Will not Kneel.

Even if I fail again and again, until I forget how to win, I Will not Kneel.

Even if Pleasure tempts me with the Gates of Heaven, I Will not Kneel.

Even if the world casts it wrath on me, I Will not Kneel.

Even if the sky falls on my head, crushing my crown, I Will not Kneel.

Let them come, Let Pain come, Let Loss come, Let Death Stare me down.

Haha 😆 I will laugh at the Sky, Howl at the sky and keep Moving.

With my Cold Gaze locked forward, I rise Step by Step, Wound by Wound, Breath by Breath.

For I am Impessa,And I Will Never Kneel to Anyone or Anything.

I will not kneel even if my legs are broken.

Understand yourself and those around you.

I WILL NOT KNEEL

1. Be true to your essence. Not what the world expects—what your spirit knows. 2. Flow, don’t force. Soul doesn’t rush. It guides in whispers, not shouts. 3. Feel deeply. The soul learns through emotion, not logic. 4. Choose love over fear. Every soul decision is rooted in love, even when it hurts. 5. Silence reveals truth. When the world gets loud, the soul still speaks—in stillness. 6. Everything is connected. What you heal in yourself, ripples through the unseen. 7. You are already whole. Growth isn’t about fixing—it’s about remembering who you are.

Law of the soul 

We notice things in and around ourselves we haven’t noticed before.The thoughts, the feelings, the physical sensations.Thoughts are not a problem, but automatically identifying with every passing thought is a huge problem.

The only thing fuelling your thoughts is your attention.If you want to access more of your vitality, get used to paying attention to your breathing.We just have to understand that these are thoughts – not truths.

Most of the psychological suffering we humans experience is voluntary and self-inflicted.We believe in thoughts that want to harm us.It’s there, in our minds, that our suffering is created; that’s where it lives and thrives.You shouldn’t believe your every thought.

Self-inflicted psychological suffering:

‘Knowledge is proud of all it knows. Wisdom is humble before all it doesn’t know.’There’s value in not getting stuck in a state of certainty.If we always cling to what we think we already know, how will we ever discover anything new?How can we learn?

Kitschy wisdom:

‘The next time you sense a conflict brewing, when you feel things are about to come to a head with someone, just repeat this mantra to yourself three times, sincerely and convincingly – in any language you want – and your worries will evaporate, like dew from the grass on a summer morning.’‘I may be wrong. I may be wrong. I may be wrong.’

The magic mantra:

Thoughts with the word ‘should’ in them make me small, dull and lonely.Clench your fist hard, then relax it into an open hand.It’s simple, but it’s a good illustration of how we can let go of things we cling to too hard: things, feelings, convictions.

Closed fist, open palm:

<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">Loving-kindness.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Compassion</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Muditā – humanity’s inherent capacity to feel joy at our own and others’ success.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Upekkha - ‘You always have to start with yourself.’ Your compassion for others will always fall short and remain fragile, so long as you’re unable to extend it to yourself first.</li></ol>

Buddha singled out four emotions he considered divine.

There’s value in not deceiving others for our own gain, in not hurting others because it serves our purposes at the time, in avoiding bending or twisting the truth because it’s more convenient.Something beautiful starts to happen when we actively choose to take responsibility for what we say and do.

Be the thing you want to see more of in the world:

What happens when we genuinely, with our entire being, understand that we don’t have each other forever?We no longer have time for half-measures.One day, we’re going to have to say goodbye – to every single person who means something to us.There’s only one way to approach other people and life itself: gently.

I May Be Wrong

"Be awkward by talking because I don't know how to be quiet." A deeper struggle with silence for a few reasons:
1. Fear of being misunderstood.
2. Need for connection.
3. Avoiding insecurity.
4. Natural need for expression.
5. Overthinking.
6. Avoiding reflection.

Be Awkward By Talking

Some people feel that if they stay quiet, others might think they’re distant or uninterested. So, they talk to avoid that, even if it feels awkward.

1. Fear of being misunderstood:

If you’re someone who loves to talk or communicate, staying silent might feel like disconnecting from people. So, talking, even awkwardly, feels safer than being silent.

2. Need to connect

Silence can make some people feel vulnerable or insecure. Talking keeps them feeling like they’re in control and not being judged for being quiet.

3.Insecurity

Some people just find it hard to not talk. It might feel like they have to get everything out, even if it’s a little messy or awkward

4. Natural need to express

Sometimes, anxiety about saying the right thing can lead to talking more than necessary. It’s like filling the space with words because the pause feels too uncomfortable.

5. Overthinking

Silence often leads to thinking, and thinking can be hard or uncomfortable. Talking might just be a way to avoid that.

6. Avoiding reflection

You can choose to be awkward by being quiet, or you can choose to be awkward by talking.Which one are you?Embrace it.

Don't know how to be quiet

Peter Levine explains that trauma is not the event itself, but the internal response that lingers in the nervous system.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Trauma dysregulates the body’s natural rhythms—fight, flight, or freeze responses get “stuck.”</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Healing requires reconnecting with your body’s sensations, not just analyzing your thoughts.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Recovery is not about reliving trauma—it’s about restoring felt safety in the present moment.</li></ul>💡 You don’t think your way out of trauma—you feel your way through it.

Trauma Lives in the Body, Not Just the Mind

Our bodies constantly send signals that guide healing, but we’ve learned to ignore them.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Somatic experiencing (Levine’s method) helps you tune into physical sensations to release trapped trauma.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Learn to “pendulate”—gently move between calm and discomfort, allowing the nervous system to recalibrate.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Micro-movements and awareness can release powerful, long-held patterns.</li></ul>💡 Listen to your body—it knows how to heal.

The Power of Somatic Awareness

Trauma often leaves people feeling helpless or out of control.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Healing involves restoring agency through small acts of choice and awareness.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Reconnecting to the present moment helps regulate the nervous system and rebuild safety.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Embodiment leads to resilience—not just coping, but thriving.</li></ul>💡 Healing begins when you reclaim your power from within.

Restoring Autonomy Through Embodied Presence

In an Unspoken Voice is a profound guide to transforming trauma into strength through body awareness and presence.👉 <a href="https://www.dpbolvw.net/click-101290670-11552245?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.booksamillion.com%2Fp%2FUnspoken-Voice%2FPeter-A-Levine%2F9781556439438">Get your copy here</a> and discover how to reclaim your wholeness through somatic healing.

Are You Ready to Heal From the Inside Out?

✔️ Healing isn’t about forgetting—it’s about reintegrating the parts of you that were overwhelmed.✔️ The body must complete the defensive response it was unable to finish during the trauma.✔️ Through gentle somatic exploration, trauma can resolve organically.💡 Trauma is not what happens to you, but what you hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.

Trauma Isn’t a Life Sentence—It’s a Call to Reconnect

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Healing must happen at the speed of safety—rushing retraumatizes.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">“Titration” (introducing small doses of sensation or memory) allows for integration without overwhelm.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Practitioners and individuals alike must honor the body's wisdom and resistance.</li></ul>💡 Progress is found in small, safe steps—not in pushing through.

Gentle Is Powerful—The Importance of Safety and Pacing

✔️ Trauma energy is stored in the muscles, tissues, and fascia.✔️ Shaking, trembling, crying, and other bodily expressions are healthy signs of release.✔️ Stillness and rest are equally necessary for integration and balance.💡 Healing is a rhythm—an ebb and flow between movement and calm.

ovement and Stillness Are Tools for Release

✔️ Self-blame and shame often follow trauma—but they are barriers to healing.✔️ The body didn’t fail you—it did what it had to do to survive.✔️ Self-compassion and non-judgment open the door to deep transformation.💡 What you view as weakness may actually be the body’s brilliance.

Summary – A Roadmap to Healing Trauma Naturally

Discover how your body holds the key to recovering from trauma and reclaiming a life of peace, balance, and resilience—without having to relive the pain.

Unraveling trauma in the body, brain and mind—a revolution in treatment. Now in 17 languages. In this culmination of his life’s work, Peter A. Levine draws on his broad experience as a clinician, a student of comparative brain research, a stress scientist and a keen observer of the naturalistic animal world to explain the nature and transformation of trauma in the body, brain and psyche. In an Unspoken Voice is based on the idea that trauma is neither a disease nor a disorder, but rather an injury caused by fright, helplessness and loss that can be healed by engaging our innate capacity to self-regulate high states of arousal and intense emotions. Enriched with a coherent theoretical framework and compelling case examples, the book elegantly blends the latest findings in biology, neuroscience and body-oriented psychotherapy to show that when we bring together animal instinct and reason, we can become more whole human beings.

L I F E Quote | The Ear of The Heart 

Rest is essential for muscle recovery, healing, and overall well-being. Without it, the body breaks down instead of getting stronger.

Physically

Rest helps with clarity, creativity, and problem-solving. Overworking leads to burnout, while strategic pauses improve focus.

Mentally

In meditation and self-reflection, stillness often leads to the biggest breakthroughs. The third eye doesn’t open through constant action but through deep inner awareness.

Spiritually

Even in nature, cycles of activity and rest exist. The moon doesn’t shine all the time, and even the strongest wolves retreat to regain their strength.

Energetically

Rest is also progress—it’s just a different form of it.
