We, as human beings, are social animals. We are made to love and connect with other people. And we do. But sometimes, that connection seems to be ‘broken’. Because the people we love can’t be with us, because they have moved out, away, or they might even have transitioned. And then that difficult process of missing them starts to ache.
Missing of a beloved can feel like part of your heart is missing. Even though your head tells you that you’ll be ok in some time, it can feel in the moment as if your heart will never be whole again.
Selfgentleness can help you to navigate the difficult feelings that belong to missing someone. It’s all about tuning in , and acknowledging what is going on within you, and then help yourself, be gentle with yourself, comfort yourself.
The audio I release today is one I made many years ago when I was missing someone important to me. And every time it helped me to connect to the love I felt for that person. During that process, I noticed that I also started to connect with all the love and gentleness for myself, which lives deeply within me. I didn’t know it at the time, but this practice helped me on my path to become selfgentle, and to develop everything that has risen out of that journey. Because frankly, I wasn’t that selfgentle in those years :)
So, whether you are missing your kid in the middle of your empty nest, or your ex-partner who you rather would come back, or your other half or twin flame at the other side of the earth, or your family member of friend who has transitioned, this track can help you feel, even a little bit, better for about 20 minutes. It will remind you of all the love in your heart, and you will remember your heart as a whole rather than being broken.
Like all selfgentleness tools, it’s never a quick fix. Becoming selfgentle is a lifelong work-in-progress process (luckily, but I’ll tell you later about that) so take your time to try it. And when it feels to difficult, then stop and just be there with your feelings Everything is welcome, everything in your own time.
Who did you ‘meet’ during the meditation, and how did it feel?
Be selfgentle, dear friends
All love, Femke
