The Desire to Feel Nurtured

Being nurtured can be important throughout life, and is especially important when we are newborn babies. The reality is that no baby gets complete attention or perfect touch at every moment in their first weeks and months of life. As a result, there are moments when we feel abandoned, and the impacts of these formative events can stick around and influence our future life experience. 

Over time feelings of abandonment can develop into anxiety and overwhelm; people can feel helpless in their lives, and may resent others for not providing them what they need.

As people feel increasingly nurtured, they often experience delightful reductions in anxiety. Their relationships with loved ones tend to become more satisfying as they increasingly appreciate the love and caring that is given. Old feelings of resentment often melt into a grounded sense of simply recognizing what does not work in any given relationship and appreciating more what does work.

When this desire is fulfilled, a person can feel a deep sense of calm and inner peace permeating life experience. A sense of natural self-reliance becomes the foundation of life.

"Emotionally, things seem very different since the Mandria Healing Nurturing Program. My feelings are not as easily confused; and I am distinctly less attached to the emotions of others, though I remain concerned. I feel less motivated by fear, and I feel more aware of my empowerment to choose the degree and direction of everything that is going on in me. When I ask myself what has shifted, my body answers in a way that I can only understand to be fundamental. Thank you both so much."

"The heart-felt appreciation I have felt since the Nurturing Program is a prize unto itself. I have also discovered that this kind of gratitude is my fastest way of feeling grounded in this universe. I don’t know why, but feeling gratitude makes me a part of all of this. And, since the Nurturing Program, I finally know, in the core of my being, that I can handle this!"  Read more...

"From my very first session with Rachel and Mark, I felt that my joints became looser and that my body started to work in a very coordinated way. Something happened on an emotional level that released the anxiety in my body, and allowed it to move more naturally."
