What Are You Carrying?

There's a difference between engaging and taking responsibility and carrying the weight of the world. This is not something we can carry on our own. If we're noticing a heavy burden, we could release that for an immediate sense of relief - I'm not going to carry that right now. I might drop that burden for 10 minutes while I rest. After reflection, I might choose to let parts of it go forever or I might find different ways to engage.

How am I carrying what's happening in my life, the weight of the world, the weight of my life? How much of what I'm carrying is mine to carry? How much of that do I have to carry alone? How and to whom can I reach out to carry it with a partner, friends, or in the community?

I’m so grateful to have found your meditations here on IT as they’ve really resonated with and helped me when I feel like I’m back in an unhealthy pattern in my nearly 4 decade relationship with my husband again. All the things that you’ve thrown out for our considerations or questions to ponder are things that I’ve been thinking about or “hearing” in my mind as of late, again. I’ve done lots of trauma work over the years while my spouse has mostly creatively avoided it out of his own fears from his traumatic past (his words, not mine), and I’m tired. Tired of waiting and putting my life on hold. This meditation has reminded me of my own empowerment and fears as well that I’m ready to face because life is both too short and precious to feel like I don’t have a choice as to whether or not I want to keep struggling forth. Namaste 🙏🏻 ✨💫💜
