Smiling thinking back to this soul-filling trip to Colorado and Red Rocks when I was in such a fun state of expansion, fully In my joy, feeling so vibrant, alive and free.
Recently, I’ve been in a state of contraction, a low energy funk, working through some thyroid imbalances, the uncertainty and hope of conceiving again and many of life’s unknowns. Certainly a practice of becoming more comfortable with uncertainty and finding comfort in the impermanence of all things by remembering “this too shall pass” Rather than judge myself and resist what’s present, I find comfort trusting the universal law: in order to expand we need to contract, just like our heart beat, our lungs, our breath. When we are in states of contraction, unwanted feelings of blame, anger, fear, sadness etc, rather than resist or reject my feelings, I am practicing being with them and accepting them. These States of contraction give us the opportunity to embrace ourselves and any unwanted feelings in unconditional love and compassion. To BE with what’s present and honor what we need. I trust that when we allow ourselves the space to contract, turn inward, feel it to heal it, we release energy and create space for growth, awakening, expansion and even more joy!
