✨ Has anyone ever blessed you with your own name? ✨
I attended an online class the other day and I wasn't really sure what I would get out of it. I was already familiar with a lot of the content but was inexplicably drawn to the teacher.
I knew she was the reason I signed up for the course. Her energy was solid yet soft and warm. She knew her purpose in the world and was shining her light in a gentle yet powerful way.
At the end of the class we had the option of attending small groups in zoom breakout rooms. Just the mention of "small groups in breakout rooms" was enough to cause half the class to hit "end" before it was actually the end.
I had a feeling something special was waiting in that breakout session. Once we were randomly distributed into rooms we were told to share one of our dreams or longings while being held and seen with love.
We used a loving-kindness meditation borrowed from Buddhism. The other people listened as I shared my dream, then one person offered this blessing to me.
May you, Kristy, be happy.
May you, Kristy, be peaceful.
May you, Kristy, be free from suffering.
May you, Kristy, be safe and protected.
May you, Kristy, live easily and well.
It was transformative. Have you had someone bless you with your own name? I felt my light, my purpose, begin to shine brighter within me. I felt seen, loved and protected. Just from the witness of others holding me in loving-kindness.
This is our dream for you. We created the Embrace Your Light retreat to help you be seen, know you are enough, and remember who you are. All while being held in the embrace of loving-kindness.
Holding you in love and light,
Kristy
