We weren't made to do life alone,
Yet sometimes it feels that's exactly what we're doing.
In a world of 8 billion people,
You'd think it would be difficult to feel alone,
But we do.
We can even feel lonely surrounded by a room full of people or lying next to someone at night.
When we don't feel connected to others or feel understood,
When we feel our efforts are witnessed but go unnoticed,
It can cause us to feel lonesome.
Sometimes in the midst of life's challenges,
You may feel like you're walking this earth alone.
It can feel overwhelming and isolating,
Navigating uncertainties without feeling truly supported.
We want to feel cared for,
Seen,
Heard,
Understood.
It's during these times we long to feel a warm,
Caring presence.
Take a deep breath in,
Inhaling slowly and exhaling fully.
Another deep breath in,
And let it go.
Close your eyes and imagine yourself standing in a serene and peaceful place.
It could be a beautiful forest,
A serene beach,
Your backyard.
Take a moment to fully immerse yourself in this environment.
Feel the warmth of the sun on your skin,
Hear the gentle rustle of leaves or the soothing sound of waves.
As you stand in this peaceful place,
Become aware of the loving presence surrounding you,
Unseen but felt.
Above you is your creator,
Spirit,
Your angels,
Your divine guiding light watching your every move.
Breathe in its presence.
Below you is Mother Earth,
Supporting your every step.
Breathe in her immovable strength and ground down into her loving embrace.
Standing behind you are your loved ones,
Your friends,
Your family,
Your ancestors,
Your lineage.
See and feel their hands on your shoulders,
Smiling with loving eyes,
So proud of you.
Breathe in their devotion.
To your right are your mentors,
Your teachers,
Your guides,
Those that have taught you,
Led by example,
Guided you throughout your life.
Turn to them when faced with challenges.
Breathe in their deep wisdom.
To your left are your cheerleaders,
Motivators,
Your inspirations,
Those that believe fiercely in you no matter what you do.
Turn toward them when you need to be reminded of your magnificence.
Breathe in their passionate love for you.
Hold your head high,
Knowing you never walk alone,
My dear.
Stand tall,
Knowing you walk in every room with an army of love.
Breathe in this loving support that surrounds you,
And when you are ready,
Slowly open your eyes,
Feeling a renewed sense of strength,
Knowing you're guided and protected wherever you go.
Hannah Fitts said,
Even when you can't see it or feel it,
You are always being divinely guided.
