Hi,
Welcome to your sacred teaching,
Also called a sacred kiss.
This reflection is an invitation to soften into the fullness of being human,
To honor both joy and pain,
To allow every part of ourselves to be seen and felt.
I invite you to close your eyes and take a brief break from your day.
May this teaching remind you that wholeness comes not from chasing light,
But from welcoming all of our experiences.
There is no way around pain.
Pain is part of this world,
Just as joy and happiness are.
Both are important human experiences.
We tend to refuse pain.
It's unpleasant.
It's uncomfortable.
Joy is so much more pleasurable,
So we chase it.
We see it as the goal,
But what if that's not true?
What if the goal,
If there is one,
Is to welcome it all in?
Welcome the experience of your whole self,
Your pain,
Your joy,
And all experiences in between.
Welcome your insecurities,
Your regrets.
Welcome your bravery and your kindness.
Welcome the violence you've committed against others.
Welcome all of the good you've done.
Welcome all of your darkness,
All of your pain.
It is part of you,
Part of your humanity.
Let it have a voice,
Let it be felt,
And only then will you experience your wholeness.
