Welcome,
My name is Epiphany Mason and I am the founder of From Epiphany.
I create meditations and courses.
This meditation is called for when your heart is broken.
I hope it brings you some comfort.
I know I am here.
I have your back.
Lean into me.
Let my words hold you.
Today give yourself permission to feel.
To feel sad.
To feel empty.
To feel shattered.
It is okay.
It is important to feel this way.
You have permission to ache.
To miss.
To be in shock.
To hurt.
Your pain is valid.
What was done to you was wrong.
What they said was unfair.
What they did was inconsiderate.
What happened wasn't okay.
It is reasonable and right for you to feel as you do.
Even though you feel broken,
You are still whole.
You are still you.
Worthy enough.
Your highest self is still with you.
You still belong to yourself.
You still belong to her.
But don't worry yourself too much about remembering all of that.
Instead,
Just sit.
Be.
In.
Bruised.
Tender.
Hold your heart if you need to.
Let the pain leak out of your eyes if you need to.
Eat what you need to.
Watch what you need to.
Call a friend if you need to.
Do nothing if you need to.
For as long as you need to,
You have permission to just be.
In this moment,
For today and tomorrow,
For however long,
Take whatever moments you need to consolidate your pain.
It's settled.
Right now,
Thoughts and feelings are flying around your head like a mosquito keeping you up at night.
You don't know the next right thing to do.
Like crossing a roundabout and being confused about which way to look,
Well,
We can wait for the traffic to part.
Until then,
How patient can you be with yourself?
Can you find a little kindness for yourself while you wait?
Can you forgive yourself if even kindness evades you?
Your pain is not stuck.
By sitting,
By being as you are without effort,
Your pain is moving through you.
So you may not be able to work.
You may not be able to swallow your food.
You may not even be able to get out of bed.
Well,
Good on you for waking up.
Good on you for meeting me here in this place.
Astonishingly,
You have already shown up for yourself in a way that leaves me in awe.
You don't have to expect even more from yourself.
There's no need to lay a shame onto your pain.
Give permission for yourself to be.
To come as you are.
To curl up as you need to.
To lean on shoulder or pillow.
To just sit on the ground and stare.
If that is all you can do,
That is enough.
It is okay.
Your permission to be as you are is wholeheartedly granted.
I know you are uncomfortable in this hurt.
You may want a solution and it will come.
But there is an A before the B.
A sum before an equal sign.
So too is there broken heartedness before healing.
Give permission for your broken heart to hurt.
Acknowledge its suffering.
Once you have acknowledged that something needs attention,
It is granted it.
A broken bone left untreated never properly heals.
It can look askew and often cause ongoing chronic pain.
So tend to your broken heart.
Let your pain exist.
Let yourself exist.
And know by doing this,
The healing process has already begun.
I know you are yearning for someone to hold your hand.
Let that person be me.
If you hear anything,
Hear this.
I am here.
I am listening.
I understand.
I believe in you.
I will help you through.
Rest now.
Let your heart rest.
It will begin healing itself soon,
But until then,
Like a wounded soldier returned from battle,
Rest while loving hands tend to you.
Rest.
Rest.
Rest.
Rest.
Rest.
Beautiful.
Thank you so much for joining me again today.
I hope you know by now that I'm here if you have any questions or queries because we are in this together.
Thank you.
