When It's Too Much

There are times when what is inside is too much.
Too much energy.
Too much deadness.
Too much tenderness.
Too much need.
Need for meaning, for connection, for a purpose, a steady fire that you can carry wherever you go.
Breathe.
Sit.
Sit with whatever your too much is.
Maybe even give it a “hey there.”
As kind a greeting as you can muster.
Why would you do that?
Because it’s in the too much that we can hear the whisper of our spirit.
If you feel too much energy or agitation, your spirit might be.

Reviews

Excellent meditation, like the practice of breathing in to what is too much. Even though it's really hard.

Namste, Betsey. Did your combination of spiritual wisdom and Minnesota practicality, help me to find and ground myself this morning? You bet.

Great meditation, but I think the audio is skipping. Might need to re-upload. ✌️🧘‍♂️

Thank you, ..just what I needed, this month of March had been too much for me, I will listen to this recording every day as much as possible.

I love to 'hold and cradle myself ' when I'm feeling sad and hurting.. Big breathing works for sooooo many things. Thanx and have a great day Betsy 😀
