Emotions are energy, moving in motion through our physical and spiritual bodies.
As we learn to work with both positive and negative emotions without grasping to one or the other too firmly, we are aligning our energies to support the emergence of our highest self.
So, with sore backs and open hearts, we pray, meditate, create and hope. Let us gather strength from the support and love around us, and if days are too dark to find hope, may we always remember that the Source of our being is one of infinite healing and light.
You are invited to consider the ways emotions feel in the body as they arise and to remember that at any given moment, there is someone out there who is feeling the same. We do not need to be free of suffering in our own bodies to wish freedom from suffering for others, in fact, we are only made more empathetic and effective listeners as we learn that in healing others, we heal ourselves.
