I can remember at one point in my life not being able to breathe. Trying to breathe would literally bring up so much fear, anxiety and sadness. It felt like there were memories trapped in my tears I refused to release. And if i did release, I was afraid I would explode. But I knew I had no choice or...I would explode. Or fade into robotic, life siphoning, dulling habits of coping.

I have not found my center to be hard and immobile, nor have I found that a perfect state of harmony, as we see it traditionally, is normal and perhaps, even healthy?   In the past, I was a person who habitually and excessively put a goal, obligation or "should" ahead of my state of being. It still creeps up sometime today in seasons of great change.

This Meditation came to my heart from one of my supporters on YouTube. I am grateful for her honest heart and vulnerability. It is important right now to take time for yourself, away from any screen you own, to tap into the healing balm that is your heart.

Embodied Calm is a part of who you are and being calm in action, thought and emotion, you radiate that essence and it touches all around you.

So I say that the mustard seed of peace you wish to experience is a pause away if you choose to give yourself the permission to stop.,,,

Although I made it to Florida safely, the deep learning in that situation when I look back on it was that I did not create a safe space for my body or mind to experience such a huge transition....

The pain, ache or yearning that feels like an enemy is ignorance…an ignorance that did not get the chance to experience the truth; which is Love.
