Remaining Open to What Unfolds

These last few days have felt surreal.

I’m doing my best to stay present in my everyday life

while my son is packing and preparing to move far away.

I can feel that his leaving is setting some other big transitions in motion for me too.

To say it’s throwing me off balance would be an understatement.

I know I’m not the only one experiencing seismic shifts right now.

Many of us are sensing that we’re standing at the edge of big change,

both individually and collectively.

We’re grieving what’s ending,

while trying to orient toward what’s coming.

We’re shedding what no longer serves us,

while transforming into who we’re meant to be.

And even though this process is really uncomfortable,

I truly believe that life is always happening for us.

✨The Universe is gently guiding us toward what we’re meant to experience.

But even with a spiritual practice to ground us in a space of trust,

we’re still human.

Which means, we naturally resist pain, loss, and change.

So as I navigate these transitions in my life,

my Self-Love practice is keeping me balanced and steady.

I’m noticing when I get caught in fear-based stories,

and gently returning to what’s actually true in this moment.

I’m staying aware of all the ways I try to avoid feeling grief,

and I’m pausing to feel it, without bypassing or stuffing it down.

I’m seeing where I’m trying to grip onto the way things have been,

and I’m surrendering to life, instead of projecting discomfort onto change.

My practice is helping me remain open to what’s unfolding for me…

and my heart knows that ultimately it's for the best.

Because when I look back over my life at every major transition,

even the terribly difficult and painful ones,

they’ve all led me somewhere better than I could’ve imagined.

And given the choice, I wouldn’t reverse any of those changes now.

So, I’m keeping my heart open to the big shifts that are underway.

And I’m anchoring into my relationship with myself,

because this is where I find my steady ground.

I invite you to do the same.

Life will always bring changes ~ some we welcome, some we resist.

But the one thing I know I can always rely on

is my connection with myself.

No matter what changes unfold in our lives,

our true safety and stability are found within.

"We have no guarantee that we will be okay. But if we open our hearts,

we find that we already are." ~ Pema Chödrön

⛰️ A Moment of Steadiness:

Place your feet flat on the floor and imagine the Earth beneath them.

Take an intentional deep breath in….

Release it slowly and gently.

With a hand on your heart, quietly remind yourself:

"I don’t have to know what comes next. I’m safe in this moment."

Allow your body to soften into this truth.
