Psalm 23:1-2a

Connect with Psalm 23:1-2a with your being by connecting with all of your 5 senses and allowing it to minister to your nervous system. Perfectly Loved Nervous System Regulation is inspired by 1 John 4:18 and attachment theory. 1 John 4:18 says "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment." I really believe that if we grow to understand and experience God’s perfect love for us with our being, including our body, we will be SO much more regulated in life. The Christian faith offers a perfectly loving attachment figure who sacrificed Himself so that we could find our peace and wholeness in relationship with Him, in attachment to Him. When we believe in His love for us as displayed at the cross, and that He lives because He was raised, we obtain a relationship that has NO condemnation and that is filled with promises of loving presence. My favorite verse says "And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” Eternal life is not about a place, it’s about being with a Person who is Perfect Love. 1 John 3:1 says, "see what love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" God's Word is filled with SO many words of comfort and encouragement, and we want to connect to His Words with more than just our mind. We want to connect to them with our being, and that includes our body. Please note: I know that for some people imagining being a child of a being who is so big can feel scary because their own Father was scary and not safe. So if trying to connect with God as your Father feels too triggering in these resources, then connect with Jesus in human form as your Savior and friend, or the Holy Spirit as a soothing flowing presence all around you.
