Council Suit: Underwater
I am the the one who is underwater.
I might be here because of overwhelm but under water I feel a deep sense of peace.
I can only hold my breath for so long down here so I am one who will come up for air and start again.
While I’m here I am one who takes in the beauty and serenity of underwater life.
My gift to you is the knowledge that you can flow in between and coexist with overwhelm even when you feel like you’re drowning.
I am the one who reminds you to breathe deeply, take time to reset and take in the beauty around you so you can emerge with a fresh start.

Council Suit: Hope
I am the the one who knows anything is possible.
With hope I can climb mountains and walk through walls.
I can see sunlight through any tunnel. I can move beyond my fears and embrace the unknowns of anything.
I can take in beauty anytime, if even for a glimpse.
I am hope, and hope heals all.

Committee Suit: Alone
I am the the one whose mommy is sick. It’s like she has a secret virus inside her mind that no one can see and I am the one who is supposed to save her.
Except I am the one who doesn’t feel her love or affection, because she never looks me in the eye and her hugs and words seem void.
I am always trying so hard to get her to love me, but whatever I do it’s never enough—even when I’m sick like her.
It’s as if I don’t really exist.
I am the one who feels alone and sad, grieving the mommy I never had.

Committee Suit: Rage
I am the the one who is pissed off—full of venom and ready to attack.
I am the one who also has to look myself in the mirror to explore what my rage is really about.
When I feel cornered, not considered, like I have no say, it triggers old flashbacks of inescapability.
Then I become the one whose internal protest gets activated as swirling energy and pressure with no way out that feels like helpless rage and abandonment.
The reflection of Self energy helps to quiet the flashback and settle my system in the present moment.
I am the one who can express anger that’s healthy and not blended with my past, so I can move on and back to regulation inside and to what’s really happening right now.

Council Suit: Bird Angel
I am the the one who comes to you in birds.
I have wings too but this is how I connect with you in your realm.
I am the bird who lands outside your window, in a tree nearby or on a balcony. I sometimes show up as a cardinal who lands in a bush near you or flies in front of you on a walk or in your car.
I sing you bird songs so you know it’s me and I know you do since you always speak to me too.
This is how we can stay connected.

Council Suit: The Mother
I am the one who watches over you and is always close by. I’m a smiling face, a warm embrace and a constant presence in a chaotic world.
My loving energy always surrounds you with endless possibility because I know your pure soul and that you can do anything you desire.
I create a vast container to explore life with an open heart and a child’s curiosity.
I want you to know I’m with you through it all and when you begin to have doubts feel my energy and take my hand.
I’m here to protect and support you to live your fullest life and share your gifts with the world.

Committee Suit: Hatched
I am the the young one who is deeply connected to my true Self.
When I discovered you were there and how much you love me, all I wanted was to be in your arms.
I am the one who flew from my nest into the safety of your embrace and your deep affection.
I am one who looks right into your eyes, sometimes in disbelief that we are finally together.
I feel safe and free—open-hearted, playful and overflowing with warmth and attachment. I know whatever I need, you are the one who is there with me.
I want you to know that nothing needs to happen in this sacred space of connectedness, other than feeling the energy and pureness that exists between us when we are together.

Committee Suit: Nature Lover
I am the the one who loves the forest and being surrounded by greenery.
In nature I feel like I breathe so deeply it seems as if I’ve gotten taller and more powerful—fully alive inside myself.
I am one who exists only with fresh air, butterflies and silence.
My gift to you is space and re-connection to Self.

Committee Suit: Dissociation
I am the the one who is young.
I am protected by a shield of many layers of thick plexiglass inside a safe cylinder where no one can get to me.
The cylinder that cuts me off from the outside world is my dissociative hero.
His plastic twin stands guard as a double layer of protection and it feels like he will never share the secrets he carries of why, what or whom he protects me from.
It feels safe in here until it doesn’t and I am one who feels punished for something I didn’t do but no one believes me.
Part of me feels safe in here and part of me wonders what I did to deserve this.
Either way, for now, it still feels safer in here than out there.
