This is a letter about love and what it means to hold the heart of another.

Transcript

Satsang with Mooji slapchat You don't give up kimek m tu ID Don't buy matters Wolf Start by closing your eyes and taking a deep breath in.

As you release that breath through your exhale,

Imagine you can release a little bit of the tension in your toes.

As you continue to take an in-breath,

Let every out-breath release some of the tension in the next part of your body.

Work up through your heels,

Your ankles,

Your knees.

Until eventually,

Your whole body is feeling relaxed.

To the one who loves,

Falling in love can be healing and transformative.

It can also be a forgetting of yourself.

Sometimes you forget the parts of yourself that feel numb and alone,

Allowing the warmth of another's love to breathe life into them.

Sometimes it's more like forgetting the parts of yourself which you fear won't be deemed lovable.

Those parts never go away.

They lie dormant within you and collect pressure,

Until one day,

A crack in the relationship emerges.

The forgotten parts of yourself finally have a chance to escape,

And this is messy.

Do not abandon yourself.

Be kind.

Be kind.

Be kind.

People will not always be kind to you,

But they do not set the standard for how to hold the heart of another.

If someone offers you their heart,

Hold gently.

You don't have to keep it.

Maybe you must give it back to them.

But if and when you do,

Give it back with all the gentleness and grace you can find,

Because there is nothing more precious than the human heart.

Be with someone who sees the best in you,

Someone who makes space for the bad,

But ultimately believes in your goodness.

Being in relationship with someone who loves you,

But doesn't actually like you,

Is soul destroying.

Be with the person who believes in your strength,

Your integrity,

Your intelligence,

Someone who can remind you of these things when you have forgotten.

This is the sort of love that nourishes the soul,

The sort of love that weathers the seasons of life.

If it doesn't feel natural to let this love in,

It could be because it doesn't reflect how you feel about yourself.

It is alluring,

Tempting,

And familiar to be with a person who holds you in as little regard as you hold yourself.

As I promise you this,

There is a deep,

Strong wisdom inside of you that knows you deserve more,

That this is not enough.

And eventually,

You will learn to trust the voice of your wisdom.

It may not be an easy path she takes you on,

But you can rest assured that she is guiding you home.
