this instantly made my body relax. When I have a goal, a lot of times I feel anxious until it’s completed. but lately im realizing the goal I have only feels anxiety provoking because underlying it is a need for belonging and acceptance from my family. To be reminded that I don’t need to figure anything out, or accomplish anything in order to be loved, is a huge relief. And the judgment that exists or comes from others doesn’t have to become my own judgment of myself… thank you for this reminder to step back and see that

Psychology research suggests that having even 1 individual who comes into our life and loves us unconditionally can make all the difference in a child who may be living in otherwise difficult circumstances. Can we identify a single individual who really saw and valued us as a child? I think that as adults, we can have corrective experiences that can cultivate this inner sense of OKness. The wise beings who have offered themselves to us in this course ~ Mirabai Jai KD Ram Dass Nina Jackie Jack Sharon and all the participants have offered up much to help us move along this life journey. And perhaps we can be that 1 unconditionally loving valuing caring individual for a child who is suffering, and may that heal us both.

This makes sense.
Much insight here from everyone, and vulnerability and openness as well. Discernment and compassion, love. All our true nature(s) are one, ok, connected and (w)holy. And today as I remember this, it makes me feel playful and content in this moment, and I’ll take it! Much love and be well everybody

Remembering the knowing that I don’t have to go looking for love and that I am Love itself brings a sense of peace and expansion and openness to my heart. It soothes my mind into a pleasant calm.
The practice of bringing this awareness to my daily life offers a lens through which I see beauty first. I am able to find humor before frustration. Readily, I can find the middle path rather than thinking there is one of right or wrong.
