Hello my darling,
You're so welcome here.
My name is Mar and I will be alongside you for this practice.
May you and your beautiful,
Tender heart find some comfort here over the next while.
May you feel seen,
Validated,
Comforted and may you know that you are not alone.
How very hard it is to be a deeply feeling being on earth right now.
And how very easy it is to weaponize that sensitivity and turn it against the self in shame or judgment.
How much of our struggling do we make personal and make wrong?
How much of what society paints as weakness is just humanity?
This enormous task of navigating life on this planet.
We have sanitized so much of life that expressions of struggle are seen as disordered.
A sign that we are malfunctioning in some way.
What if our human struggles are among the most real,
Most honest,
Most unfiltered droplets of truth left in a world in a chronic state of disconnect?
In those words of Krishnamurti,
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
If you are a deeply feeling being in contact with what's alive for you,
Paying attention to the many ways in which our species and the earth herself are in pain,
Then is feeling into the grief and sadness not just the most honest,
Adaptive,
Beautiful,
Appropriate response to have in the face of so much overwhelming suffering?
You are not wrong,
Darling.
There is no failure or weakness in your pain and if the world has ever made you feel as though there is,
I'm so sorry.
Thank you for your heart,
Your spirit,
Your tender surfaces and soft edges.
It is not easy moving through this life feeling so very much and yet your sensitivity is so needed right now.
It is medicine.
Please know that you are never alone.
It can feel as though you are,
As though many others are moving through the world in a very different way to you,
And the illusion of isolation can feel so real,
But at any given moment in time there are many,
Many millions of fellow deep feeling travelers journeying alongside you,
Hearts beating together,
Perhaps strangers in a human sense,
But tethered by an invisible thread of the soul.
You are not too sensitive.
Your struggles are not weakness.
You are a beautiful,
Precious being and you matter so very much.
If you haven't already done so,
I invite you to gently close over your eyes,
And if it feels comforting settling a hand upon your heart space,
Let yourself receive the nourishment of your own touch.
You have journeyed far,
My love,
Rest here a while.
Perhaps the breath might like to deepen,
Drawing nourishment into your body on the inhale,
Slowly releasing what no longer needs to be carried on the exhale.
In,
Out,
Nourishment,
Release.
Sensing a softening unfolding as you return to the place of safety,
Comfort,
Belonging.
With each arrival of an emotion,
Welcoming it into being,
Maybe silently saying,
You belong here.
You belong.
And if you haven't yet met with your parts that are most sensitive and feel so very much in the world,
Inviting them to be here now.
I will offer these words which you may receive or may wish to repeat yourself towards these beautiful tender parts.
I know you feel so much and so deeply.
I get it.
I know how painful it can be to look around you and see your fellow humans cause such suffering in the world.
I know.
You are not wrong to feel the pain of this.
There is nothing broken about you.
You are a gift.
The depth of your feeling is a symbol of your being present and awake in the world.
You are so very brave.
It takes much courage not to harden your beautiful heart in the face of pain and suffering.
Thank you.
I see you.
And I bow to you.
And as you stay with this flow of loving energy,
Sense it moving through the whole of your being,
Filling all parts of your physical and emotional bodies with warmth,
Acceptance,
Nourishment,
Compassion and love.
Noticing the surface beneath you now,
Anchoring to what is solid and grounded while expanding at the same time into infinite loving awareness.
In just a few moments we'll bring the practice to a close but I hope you'll find comfort in knowing that this invisible thread connecting all loving,
Beating hearts will stay very much open and with you and that you are not and never have been alone.
And if you wish,
You can return here any time.
I'm so very grateful you chose to be here with me in this space.
Thank you for receiving this offering.
And thank you for being you.
Until next time,
Much love.
