In bull fighting there is a place in the ring where the bull feels safe. If he can reach this place, he stops running and can gather his full strength. He is no longer afraid. It is the job of the matador to know where this sanctuary lies, to be sure the bull does not have time to occupy his place of wholeness.
The safe place for a bull is called the "querencia".
For humans the querencia is the safe place in our inner world. When a person finds their querencia, in full view of the matadore, they are calm and peaceful. Wise. They have gathered their strength around them.
