Welcome to a hit of hope.

Hi.

How are you?

Don't give me the pat answer,

The easy answer.

I mean it.

How are you?

Are you balanced,

Joyful,

Rested,

Grounded?

Did that list just make you laugh out loud?

Or are you exhausted,

Depleted,

Drowning,

Thrashing?

Are you trying to do one more thing,

Well,

Two more things,

Before going to bed?

Do you feel like you are headed for a crash and burn?

If you answered yes,

If you are in danger of burning out,

Let me guess.

Self-care is probably the first thing out the window.

I know.

You have things to do,

People to take care of.

You have to get everything done.

But here's the thing.

You deserve care,

Too.

You deserve compassion and kindness.

It might feel self-indulgent for you to stop,

Take a breath,

Take a break,

Take a bath,

Do something,

Anything,

To care for your aching heart,

Body,

Or mind.

But you deserve compassion.

You deserve kindness.

You deserve love.

So stop.

Practice taking one breath.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Take another.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Now set an intention to practice taking care of yourself,

Somehow,

Every single day.

You deserve to settle yourself,

To love yourself,

To be in this moment.

You deserve to inhabit your beautiful body that is longing for your attention and care,

Your kindness and love.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Grow settled and spacious.

You don't have to do anything.

You are incredible.

You are precious.

Take care of your beautiful self.

Namaste.

Thank you. Christmas day. I could not do any more.
Some of the basics no done.
I did not fight it. I went for a rest and slept for hours. ( no alcohol )

Peace and health and happiness 🎄

You speak to me as if you know my life. I love your style of delivery...strong but empathetic. So grateful to you for making these tracks

It's a reminder that we all often need to hear, thank you for this caring meditation 🙏

I am awed , thank you ! So needed to hear this today ! Sitting and listening and knowing “it’s ok “ , I can do this ! No big deal just life and the gift of your words !

Excellent! I needed to hear this on this exhausted morning. Thank you!

Could not have been more fitting for what I needed this morning. Thank you!

Thank you again. I am doing self care but just not enough. I will look for moments to feel spacious.

very organic and gripping. what i needed to hear. thank you!

What a beautiful reminder to make sure I have "me” time everyday. I have Lupus and other chronic painful conditions and I am always trying to keep up with whatever my friends are doing. This is a great thing to tell and remind myself that I usually need a little more time to do activities and also to take time to rest. Thanks for the wonderful reminder.👍🏻🦋

That was just what I needed to hear today. Thank you. And Castle Danger is a beautiful place! 😊

Going through a lot at work as well as the recent loss of a family member. I feel like I'm being pulled in many directions. This was the reset I needed today. Thank you 🤍

That was ahhhhmazing 🤍 you are like a wise sage and a soothing balm all at once to us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you, life has been tough lately. This helped to hear about giving love & self care for me. Like flying as a passenger in an airplane, we have to put that oxygen mask on ourselves first, to then help our other people! ❤️
