So touched by this beautiful testimonial by an attendee of the recent Creative Empowerment workshop. Metta (lovingkindness) is one of the foundational tools I share with folks inside my offerings. It is a powerful practice for clearing away fear, anger, doubt, shame, and any other shadows which keep us stuck in the darkness, unable to share our light.
Together we are cultivating cultures of care and building a world that loves itself. Stay connected to join the next experience, or reach out for 1-1 support. It is my honor to be your guide. 🙏
I really needed some Metta. That’s a loving kindness meditation, where you wish someone you know wellness and happiness, someone you kinda barely know wellness and happiness, then you wish yourself wellness and happiness. I did a beautiful workshop through .academy with .earth over the weekend and it was exactly what I needed. The one thing motherhood does is shine a bright ass light on your shadow. And the funny thing about shadow is that you literally don’t know it’s there until suddenly you do and then it’s intense. Unearthing the buried bodies from my childhood is some deep stuff and I’ve been vibrating on extra high anxiety just sitting with this inner work recently. Metta fixed me. Just giving myself the kindness I needed de-escalated my trauma response and I’m at least able to continue my inner healing journey without being constantly triggered. If you have never done Metta before, try it. It’s one of those meditation techniques I have known for well over 15 years and I never remember it. Probably means I should be doing it daily 🧐
