This is a beautiful exercise to share with children.

Hello beautiful souls, I'd like to share a little exercise called 'Heart Wishes' with you. It only takes a few minutes, but I always find it deeply powerful.

1. For this exercise you will need a candle - a small tea-light is enough. Light the candle and let your gaze rest softly on the flickering light. Tune into the natural rhythm of your breathing and connect with your heart chakra.
2. Begin by making a wish for yourself. Your wish may be to find more peace or love in your life. It may be to find forgiveness. Let your wish come from your heart space rather than your head.
3. Next, make a wish for a loved one.
4. Finally, make a wish for someone you may be in conflict with.
5. To finish, blow out the candle and send the light to your wishes.

Does this image speak to you? ❤️
Do you feel that connection? ❤️

This foal and I stood and watched each other, it maybe lasted 2 full minutes, then it was over.

The feelings it brought up for me were deep emotions about being a parent, the responsibility, the love, the care, the shared connection for life. It reminded me to be present and notice the moment.

I felt seen and trusted. I felt energy.

Just from a look that we shared. ❤️🐴❤️

“The highly sensitive tend to be philosophical or spiritual in their orientation, rather than materialistic or hedonistic. They dislike small talk. They often describe themselves as creative or intuitive. They dream vividly, and can often recall their dreams the next day. They love music, nature, art, physical beauty. They feel exceptionally strong emotions--sometimes acute bouts of joy, but also sorrow, melancholy, and fear.

Highly sensitive people also process information about their environments--both physical and emotional--unusually deeply. They tend to notice subtleties that others miss--another person's shift in mood, say, or a lightbulb burning a touch too brightly.”
