Everything Moves in Spirals
Co-Creation Series: Principle 7 — The Cyclical Nature of Growth, Seasons & Sovereignty
We’ve been taught healing is linear. That if we “do it right,” we’ll never revisit that grief, fear, or anger again.
But that’s a lie rooted in shame and ego time.
In this episode, Dawn Elgin reveals the deeper truth:
Life doesn’t move in straight lines.
It spirals.
This episode walks you through the final (and foundational) principle of co-creation—showing how the spiral is not a setback, but your sacred ascent.
💡 You’ll Learn:
- Why linear thinking creates shame in your healing journey
- How spiral dynamics actually prove you're evolving, not failing
- The difference between ego time and true cyclical wisdom
- How to work with the cycles (instead of fighting them)
- A breath-based embodiment practice to feel the spiral in your body
🧘♀️ Somatic Practice Inside:
Breath spiraling up the spine, and down to root you into the Earth. Feel your evolution from the inside out.
🧠 Mantra of the Week:
“I am the spiral. Every return brings me deeper. Every cycle brings me wiser. Every breath brings me home.”
✍️ Journal Prompt:
What cycle am I revisiting right now — and what new wisdom is waiting for me in this spiral?
