T
oday, I reflected deeply on the way I am. I woke up
feeling such sadness about the way my body feels
sometimes with anxiety, physical weakness and fatigue. In Ayurveda, this is seen as an imbalance or excess
Vata. I began realizing that my mind was going fast & judging the experience of my body harshly.
The Gift of SADNESS
It’s not easy being an empathic person. It’s not easy
feeling so much all the time. I really work at grounding my energy, mind and body with daily meditation, yoga and self-care.
I sat in the sadness for most of that morning and I
asked God to help me move it through. Soon after, I felt the waves of love and comfort enter my body and heart. For
me, that is the Holy Spirit. For others, it’s an energy of love. I experienced the emotion of sadness as a voice
telling me that it was trying to teach me something: that
my inner child was having a tantrum and resistance to the experience of my body. The sadness was telling me that I was having a hard time accepting myself the way I am. The sadness wanted to change things - but couldn’t.
And so I took some deep breaths and cried, giving the
sadness a space to be heard. After a few hours, I felt the
veil lift a little bit. And I knew that it was important for me to witness this piece of me.
You see, sadness is not something new, it is some-
thing deep inside of me from a long time ago.
It stores memories from the past and windows of
opportunities into my bright future. So today, I will THANK the sadness for its GIFT of reflection.
Later in the day, I told my hubby Mukunda how I felt,
and he showed me love and acceptance of my journey. I
am eternally grateful for having such a wonderful partner.
He is patient, kind, and holds a loving space for me while I overcome many health issues.
We all have different emotions
throughout our lives and days.
But they are transient. They will come and go. And the reality is
that our spirit is wise and guides us through the entire process.
We have made it through certain situations and come out more
resilient because of it. So today,
TRUST your body’s feelings and
have a loving conversation with it. It has a story to share with you if you listen.
