HEALING IS AN INSIDE JOB

When emotions are long held and extremely complex, it sometimes takes years for them to enter fully into awareness. until then, they cannot be released and healed. Sometimes, we find that we must go further—by speaking the truth not only to ourselves but to others, as well. We may feel the need to take action, pursue justice, or seek to make amends of some kind. But even when opening to our emotions is just the first step, it is the foundation of real love and happiness.

Excerpt from "Real Love"

07/15/2021

You have always been meant to be here.
Regardless of the challenges and shifting emotional seasons you move through, you are meant to be here in these times.
We all are.
We came for these specific times to learn/unlearn what our soul called us to do.

We are not here to rescue others and make them 'better' or more 'spiritually evolved'. That's the path of arrogance. We are here to hold our own core, offer kinship and kindness and walk our talk.

Compassion implies boundaries (movement toward, not into); balance (compassion for all, including ourselves); stability rather than shakiness; and clarity rather than over-identification. Compassion can be cultivated, through practice, and as it develops further, it helps us avoid burnout and fatigue by teaching us how to say no when we need to, without guilt, and learning to build boundaries. You come to know that saying no is a courageous act and can be empowering. It’s also empowering for others, seeing you healthy and able to pick things up another day, rather than barreling ahead distressed and harried.

Grief helps us relinquish the illusion that the past could be different from what it was.
