Listening To Your Longing

This meditation was birthed from moments of experiencing that my intense longing was not allowed. From feeling so much yet showing so little. From feeling misunderstood. I hope it is a comfort to you in moments you have received the message that you have to erase your longings. This meditation reminds you that you have permission to feel, long, and hope. I am listening.

Transcript

I am listening.

I see you,

Staring out the window,

Remembering when.

The paths of life are not what you thought.

Much of your longing you have forgotten to survive.

Feigning interest in anything else,

Forcing laughter,

Denying your desires,

Holding life at arm's length just because it hurts.

You are the selfless mother,

The second sister,

The pleasing friend.

You have no mother,

No friend,

And yet you smile for everyone else,

Politely,

Asking the easy questions,

Listening,

Laughing along.

In this very moment,

I want you to know I am with you.

I hear your wanting of a new place or face to set you free from what has taken your spirit away,

Something to release you from the bars that have trapped you in a small light.

Take a deep breath with me.

Daydream a little with me,

Allowing an inward gaze at what you ache for.

I want to give you permission to disrupt the pattern of avoiding the objects of your desire,

Of denying interest so that you can survive or forcing a life you don't really want.

I want to give you permission to seek,

To feel.

What would your life look like if all you yearned for came true?

When you were the youngest version of yourself that you can remember,

What did you want?

Can you,

Despite all the limitations of your current life,

Give yourself just 10% more of that?

Can you act upon your deepest desires without anyone else's understanding,

Permission,

Or approval?

And when others disappoint you over and over,

Remember I am here to listen,

To honor who you are,

And to remind you that you already have the permission to want,

To hope,

To feel,

To be who you are.

This was beautiful, I almost cried! Exactly what I needed this morning. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This resonated. Sometimes words are not needed. Thank you. 🙏🏻

Absolutely beautiful. I cried my eyes out. This unexpectedly hit a nerve. Giving myself permission to be my true, authentic self has been challenging with critical, judgemental parents. Nothing is "right" unless done their way. But I have a 4 year old little girl now who I am encouraging to embrace every bit of herself. I just have some healing to do so I can better model that for her. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us. This helped me more than you know, and I will be listening again! 🙏🩷✨️
