You Are Not Lost, You Are Connected

Connection is so important in life. At times we may feel far away from others and/or ourselves. Here we will work on acknowledging connection through deep breathing and gentle knowing. This is a time for you to be present and allow connection to come forward without pushing it away. You may notice a new appreciation for the small ways we are kindly tied to things and people around us. I hope you give understanding to the feeling of being lost and identify ways of connection simultaneously, offering validation and kindness to yourself. This meditation is dedicated to my mother, who often felt lost in her own health struggles.
