Play therapy isn’t only about toys and games but rather approaching yourself gently (versus working really hard on yourself) utilizing the openness of play to build trust in one’s self, reduce stress, encourage communication, support learning, promote creative problem solving, and elevate mood.

This is a beautiful short that seeks to portray unconditional love. In these times, every little (and big) thing counts. I love this opportunity to support a project that seeks to educate, inspire and open our hearts.

"For now you cannot be abandoned:
You refuse to abandon yourself.
Abandonment is an old word for you now.
Too dramatic for your body.

Nobody can abandon you:
they can only move
to another place,
with their pain.

Abandonment is the story of lost love,
an old story, for love cannot be lost,
only rediscovered deep within."

- Jeff Foster

ALREADY HOME

I keep searching outside of me just to feel wildly unsettled, unsatisfied, and unfulfilled. Political chaos. Social chaos. SO many opinions and clubs made out of shoulds. There are so many parts present and asking for attention. Helpless. Alone. Scared. Conflicted. Angry. Misunderstood. Sad. Floating. Searching. On and on.

Sometimes, I forget to go inward; to seek feedback from my body, my heart, my soul. To lean in to my embrace and feel the holy yearning of my sadness: my chest tight, my sacred closing throat.

The social lure to seek feedback outside creeps in; to seek safety and security and wanted outside--false promises that actually take me away from the sacred sensations of feeling alive. All mental, social constructs protecting my sweet and tender heart. And then I remember, I am already home. When I have me, with my heart, my body, my soul, my voice--I am already home.

Trusting the space in between....

This week, I experienced a trauma that collapsed my story of self, yet a new story has not yet emerged. Charles Eisenstein calls this "the space between stories." Many of us are in this space between stories right now, when you feel lost, ungrounded, dislocated, as if your roots have b

THE SECRET OF LETTING GO

Stop trying to 'let go' of a thought or a feeling.

When you are trying to 'let go', you are in resistance.

Let go of the very idea of 'letting go'. It is a second-hand idea, old, dead.

Instead, simply be with the thought or feeling.

Be present with it. Breathe into it. Give it space.

Let it be here, for as long as it needs to be here.

Let it stay, if it wants to stay.

Let it hang out in this silent presence.

Let it go, if it wants to go. Let it come back, if it wants to come back.

Stop trying to 'let go' of it; then, in the safety of this effortless love, deep within your Heart, it lets go of its fear of you, and its addiction. And it is free to wander, to return, to leave again, to come back.

For something deep within you 'let go' several billion years ago.
