Achilles' mother heard a prophecy that her son would be killed at a young age. So she did what any mother would, she dipped him in the river Styx to give him immortality. He grew up strong and beautiful, creating all kinds of havoc believing he was invulnerable. Little did he know he had a spot on his body that didn't get covered in the water. It was this unseen wound, this unseen and unknown part of himself that ultimately caused his demise.
What we don't know or see can be the cause of a lot of pain. Being invulnerable is not human. What's you Achilles heel? What is the situation or feeling that buckles your knees? This week Kevin and Niseema take us through the nine types of wounds that we organize our sense of self around. We believe that the wound will not be seen or felt by others, but often it is. In exploring and knowing your wound you have the opportunity to drop into a deeper humanity and ability to connect to others.
