I clicked my substack notification and thought “Oh, I need to save this to read later.” But then I just started to read. I felt so drawn in, like I was leaning closer and closer. Almost as if my reality slipped away and I was watching a film, a glimpse into one of the many experiences of such an impactful and life changing time that sometimes feels like a dream now.
It made me think, reflections on our experience of the pandemic are so important and so poignant. Yours here is written so richly.
In my meditation this morning, I was contemplating how our nervous systems only unfreeze or untangle stored memories and emotions when we are ready to process them. I’m not sure if that resonants for you too, but this piece made me think about it ever deeper.
I really felt connected to that feeling you described so beautifully, of things going well and then being hit with a wave of sadness and grief and how frustrating that can be. This makes me feel into how possibly it is because our nervous system recognises that we are ready to heal even more. That our bodies aren’t betraying us but are so wisdom and always leading us to deeper joy.
Thank you for writing this, I felt it deeply. I could feel the indigo blue in my body slowly untangling into a warm, golden feeling.
My pleasure! Thank you so much for writing this piece, it’s your words that reached inside me and pulled all these thoughts and feelings out! Much love 🤍
Wow.
