Meet Your Inner Protector:
Every part of you has a role. One of the most powerful, and often overlooked, is the Protector.
This is your ally in body and life.
The Protector isn’t about fear or restriction. It’s your inner helper, guiding your energy, holding boundaries, and keeping you safe. It works in partnership with your Controller and other inner voices to help you move through life with care, confidence, and presence.
“I am the Protector. I am here to keep you safe, to hold the edges of your body and your energy so you can move through the world without harm. I am not here to control or dominate. I am here to watch, to notice, and to guide.
I sense where tension lives, where fatigue is creeping in, and where boundaries need to be honored. I offer pause when it is needed, caution when the path feels uncertain, and reassurance when you feel unsure.
I work quietly alongside your other voices, especially the Controller, helping you move forward with confidence, care, and grace. My purpose is service, not power; vigilance, not fear. I am always present, always attentive, and always here to remind you that safety and care are part of your journey.”
Opening Orientation
This practice honors the part of us that learned how to care for life.
The Protector is not here to lead the journey,
it is here to support it.
At every stage, you are free to pause, rest, or choose another option.
Protection begins with choice.
Come as you are.
Move at your own pace.
Let clarity arise from within.
We’d love to move with you.
Class is held online via Zoom. When you sign up for the class you will receive the meeting link.
