Today is the best day ever! i have decided it so. and i am thankful for the big feelings.... the scary feelings.... the elated and joyous feelings... because they are us and they help us to understand ourselves and each other and allows us to be compassionate with ourselves and others.
we are so strong and sometimes so vulnerable and it is true for all of us. the hard emotions are sobering and help us to tell the truth and ask for help. it is difficult for me to be vulnerable sometimes and so i tend to head for the safety of the cave or womb when i feel sad and scared and lonely. i think it is a balance and there is a time for nursing our wounds and a time for surrounding ourselves with good association in the form of friends, family, enlightening information, etc... and we have to find that place each and every time, however, with practice, we become more confident in our ability to survive it and hopefully learn not to binge fix it with things, people, food, etc... that does not help us to heal.
i seek solice in my breathing when i hurt the most... when i am feeling the most lonely, sad, dejected, vulnerable or scared and it has never failed me. sometimes i am not able to practice well because of the energy of my emotions but it is always there to comfort me and as i slow down and breathe in and out, the difficult energies also calm down and ease a little and slowly change into a more grounded loving healing sort of feeling energy that is more productive and leads to insights that our life serving.
i figure... the best way to learn to heal each other is to learn how to heal ourselves. we need our own healing attention and care the most and then... when we offer to help our friends, family and world, we have something to say that they can hear.
we all need each other and we can offer encouragement and support as we learn to heal ourselves. healing our own body-mind-spirit should be our lifes great work! it is why we are here and it is what we need most for ourselves and each other.
so.... cheers and hooray for each and every one of us... may we breathe and understand our hearts, bodies and minds and act immediately to heal ourselves and share in the abundance of the kind of life that we all want.
