How are you all doing?    I haven’t been in contact for a while although I am speaking to many of you along the way.  But especially, I wonder what you might have been uncovering and connecting to during these Covid times?  Has the slowing down, the locking down, the lines to get into anywhere, the nowhere to go feeling have you feeling frustrated, impatient or dissatisfied.?   Or have you discovered the exquisite beauty in how it feels to be still, have nowhere to go, no one to be and where you can drop into the beauty of your own heart.  Or maybe you seesaw between the two.  Connected to the humanness of our longings to do, go out, explore, acquire.  And the beingness of our spirt to experience, love, relax and lean into.

I am wondering as we shelter together, open up more together, act cautiously together during these Covid times, what you might be feeling into, opening up to?  I am wondering if you have found it easier to listen to your truth, to feel more of what brings you alive, more of what you love, and more of how you feel life should be?   Or maybe within this more spacious life, you have noticed that you are feeling more. Not just the good stuff, but buried pain and sadness emerging from the depths to be held, attended to, accepted and maybe even loved

Space offers an opportunity to slow down, savour , breathe, and feel our lives rather than trying to figure it all out.  It allows us to access the moment more easily where it seems true joy and aliveness resides.

It is in the spaciousness that I can feel the connection between you and me.  I can feel that which my heart is stirring me towards.  Asking our hearts for guidance is a practice and can support us in many ways.  I can’t help but wonder if during those summer days where we might have found ourselves with more time on our hands or just more space to be, how many more people are awakening to the wonders of their own heart.

So from my heart to yours I wish you a beautiful end of summer/fall transition.   I leave you with these two writing prompts inspired by Robert Holden

One way I could listen more to the whispers of my own heart is…….

One way I could follow the guidance of my own heart is…..

Sending you all much love,
