Here's what it means to me...Â
Â
Healing Presence is always available when I turn attention back from what ever thought trip it's been traveling to the
sensations in the body.
Â
There is a situation in my life right now that has been triggering anxiety. I find my thoughts tumbling into the what if's. One of those situations is about the final filming of footage for The Woman's Rite documentary. Â
Because I once told myself I'm too old to dance at an Ecstatic dance event, now I'm going to do exactly that in front of a camera with a community of others, most of which I don't know. Even though I
know it's the right thing to do, for an introvert like me, it's a real stretch out of my comfort zone!!!!
Â
I continue to practice consciously choosing to BE with whatever is here now, even if what is here is painful such as fear, sadness, or even boredom. When I give my own discomfort the compassionate embrace I so easily give others, a return to peace
is the natural outcome.Â
Â
I'm finally getting excited about the dance as a final movement through my rite-of-passage into empowered, joyful Elderhood. I'll let you know how it goes.Â
Â
How about you? How does receiving this card today apply to a current life circumstance, something you've been afraid to feel, or to someone in your life that would benefit from your healing presence and compassionate embrace?Â
