Module topics: Broken mother field. Interrupted reaching movement. Life movements and evolutionary force.

Module summary: Healing the mother-child wound and its lasting impact: our earliest relationships with our mother shape our sense of safety, belonging, and self-worth. Through attachment theory, we see how early disruptions in these bonds—whether due to physical separation, emotional unavailability, trauma, or loss—leave deep marks on the nervous system. When a child instinctively tries to connect and this movement is interrupted, the body registers it as a break in attachment, leading in adulthood to unconscious longing, avoidance, or unhealthy patterns of self-assurance. Many compensate in relationships by overfunctioning, struggling with intimacy, or repeating cycles of abandonment, unaware that these behaviors stem from unmet early attachment needs.

Beyond psychology, this work touches something deeper—the soul’s longing to return to its natural state of love, trust, and wholeness. Interrupted reaching movement is not just about seeking physical connection; it represents a deeper spiritual journey aimed at restoring the ability to receive love and fully stand in one’s essence. Healing does not require rewriting the past, but allowing what was once interrupted to now be completed.

This meeting explores how restoring this movement can lead to deep peace, joy, and a deeper connection with oneself.
