This was very heart healing and soothing. I’m still sad…but it’s okay. It is the time for sadness for me. Thank you.

Thank you what a helpful insightful talk. Just what I needed to hear xx

I was feeling a little sad today for no reason whatsoever and I appreciated your words of wisdom. As a Buddhist, psychiatric nurse, and meditator I find myself at times frustrated that I feel sad, irritated, or anything other than peaceful- then I get frustrated about being frustrated! I feel like I should be able to either accept it or let it go or reflect on the impermanence of conventional reality and therefore know it is insignificant in the larger context. I like thinking of it as an opening of the heart as you suggested. And thank you for encouraging people with depression to seek help. That can be a hole too deep for someone to pull themselves from alone and often has many biological considerations. Thank you for sharing on Insight Timer so I could hear this today. Blessings.
