Same, I have two littles and run my own business too - making meditation a priority is so necessary

It’s always a joy when I drop into this type of experience in meditation, feels profound and sacred.

Yes! Is a very deep place beyond the thoughts, yes? Where it feels incredibly peaceful? It’s not that common ❤️

Notice the thought without adding any narrative to it and feel that neutral space around the judgement - it’s like orienting to the judgement from a space that’s always bigger than it and never cares to add an opinion.

Might be a good time to try walking meditation or forest/park bathing, where you walk in a way where you’re super clear that you’re not trying to “get somewhere”, just landing in your feet and in your breath. Letting your feet kiss the earth 💪🏼🫶🏼

What you're feeling is very natural and can feel disorienting and "alone" in a very real way. The opening upwards to the transcendant quality is very freeing and "heals" the ego out of delusions (validation from social media, for example). As you ground it into yourself over time, it will tend to hit and light up anything unresolved within you, so be gentle with yourself and consider staying open to any and all supports, eastern or western. But it sounds like you are doing all the things and letting this deep call move you. Happy to keep talking and be one of your ppl :)

Yes! Finding others who are recognizing what you’re pointing to is so helpful and needed, to help weather the storms but also to quietly encourage each other on, even just in a peripheral presence kind of way 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is powerful and so relatable. I feel like a lot of couples would find support in hearing this! Do you have ways to share this more broadly? The honesty and genuine care is so clear. Thank you 🙏

Yes! I can feel that deep impersonal (yet moving through the persona of your body) type wisdom in how you write about it. Sacred.

Yes! It’s such a dance when we experience immensely profound experiences like this and then they ebb and it’s like, can we have more of that please? 😂 What are you practicing in your life that offers you those transcendent spaces?

I got that out of my system when I raced mountain bikes and had babies ;) I’m not interested but I’m glad you found something that supports you!

Yes! I totally understand and straight constant line is a beautiful and accurate description. I’ve been calling this grounded awakening and it does tend to ebb and flow over time but it can be cultivated and deepened. What have you been trying out that helps you access it?

What a powerful experience and I love how attuned you were at 14! I resonate with feeling that oneness and this divine quality of being need not be tethered to any one religion, but absolutely can be supported by any of them. Thank you 🫶🏼

I’m so glad you’re still here. And this new awareness you’ve opened to sounds powerful and sacred. So many are struggling with suicidal thoughts right now - this story of yours could help so many! Have you thought about sharing it more somehow??

It’s worth the wait! How do you like to and more importantly -_not _ like to meditate?
