An overpowering feeling
Sometimes, a feeling hit us out of nowhere...or by a least expected trigger and we run into panic mode, thinking and thinking - OMG why am I feeling so, how do I deal with it, what do I do next, when is it going to go away etc. etc. And we forgot - for Christ's sake it's a feeling! You're supposed to feel it.
And feel I did. And beneath that feeling at that moment is yet another feeling. And another...and another. And when we reach the bottom of all the layers of feelings, we realized - hey, we're still in one piece. If anything, that overpowering emotion is now gone. What's left - is oursleves...at home. At home with who we truly are. And we wonder, why do we still launch into the panice mode everytime?
Did this simple exercise with a dear friend of mine tonight. Feeling extremely humbled by how willing she was to just trust me. And extremely grateful for the mirror she's shown me - why, we're all mirrors of each other.
And for the millionth time, if you're wondering what I'm talking about, come talk to me. Better yet, book a session with me - I'll make the time :))

The Heart
"My heart feels no love." A young boy once said. Barely 5 years old...his matter-of-fact delivery stunned the empathetic listener.
Yesterday morning, a little wise girl said, "Your heart aches. Be thankful that it aches. Be grateful that it still feels."
And so, we let the heart that no longer feels love aches.
