Close your eyes. Take one slow breath in. Hold it. And let it go with a sigh. There's something you've been moving around. Staying busy to avoid it, filling the quiet so it can't reach you, telling yourself, "Later, not now, I don't have time for this." But it's still there. It's always been there, waiting with more patience than you've given it credit for. I want to invite you just for this moment to stop moving. Place one or both hands on your heart and ask gently, What is here? Don't try to name it right away. Don't try to explain it or justify it or fix it. Just notice where it lives in your body. Is it in your chest, your throat, the back of your eyes? Let it know you're not going anywhere, that you're not going to push past it. One more time, take a breath in as you say silently, "I see you." I've been afraid of you, but I'm here now and I'm not leaving. Exhale out, feeling relief with this acknowledgement. Emotions don't need to be solved, they need to be met. You've been strong for so long, but strength is not the absence of feeling. Strength is having the courage to feel fully without looking away. Breathe in and out. You're safe here. This feeling will not break you. It will free you. I'm sending you so much love.
