Description

In this episode I encourage you to embrace sadness as a route to wholeness and joyful living.
I devised a meditation of around ten minutes to help open you up to sadness now, or when it arrives in the future.
I have started a substack and will be regularly sharing my reflections on there, so do subscribe, link below.

Meditation: Come Back to Presence ??‍♀️: When you want to figure it all out, Come back to presence. When you want to worry about what might be, Come back to presence. When you’re feeling overwhelmed by the details, Come back to presence. When you’re drowning in emotions, Come back to presence. Your point of power lives in the present moment. Which means that right here, Right now, Is the only moment that exists. And it’s here for you to step deeper into your true self. Ready for you to make a decision, Or take inspired action, Or allow yourself to rest completely. This present moment is yours to mold, It’s the only moment you have any control over at all. So rest deeply right now, my love, And come back to presence anytime you drift.
