Being open, and genuine about feelings of the heart, mind, body and soul. Trust without self judgement or
fear of reaction and judgment from others.
Joy, acceptance, love pain, sadness, or illness
may come to the forefront of attention and feel overwhelming when one is vulnerable; because of being exposed to pure honest emotions. There is healing, strength and power in having confidence to admit, let go and forgive. Vulnerability is a chance to grow and
shed pieces of the past.
One can be susceptible to being attacked or influenced if
fear is present or in being in a fearful or unsafe situation. That is being defenseless and helpless in not standing in your power.
His open confident vulnerable expression showed me that I was in a safe space; that I could also
feel open about my feelings, while standing
strong and powerful in not judging the
emotions coming through.
