Arriving Without Forcing
a moment of stillness
You can’t hate yourself into loving yourself.
I’ve been noticing how often I try to motivate my body through pressure instead of listening.
On the days my body is asking for ease, forcing movement just feels like another form of self-criticism.
Movement has been feeling really intentional to me. Instead of pushing my body or stressing it, I’ve been craving ease. Calm. Steadiness.
So instead, I turn to meditation.
I’ve always loved meditation.
It’s how I explore worlds beyond the physical one. There’s something so quiet and peaceful about entering the unconscious mind. It feels like where dreams are born. Like discovery. Like accessing parts of myself that don’t surface in day-to-day life.
I seem only to reach a serene type of energy when I go deep, somewhere in the ether of my soul.
Nothing there feels sad.
Or angry.
Or aggressive.
It feels freeing.
Encouraging.
Hopeful.
Like a place I long for but can’t force my way into.
Could I be getting a small glimpse of what exists beyond the physical?
Sometimes, in that space, imagery appears, places and people I don’t recognize. And it makes me wonder how much more exists beyond what we understand.
What matters to me isn’t what I see, but how it feels in my body when I return.
While I’m there, everything starts to rise to the surface. And then suddenly it’s a wave. A wash. A release. A cleanse.
It feels like a big wave is moving through me, and everything goes quiet. Like my body has been rinsed clean in one sweep. Like the heaviness I’ve been carrying just… evaporated.
And in that moment, I feel free from the energy that was holding me captive.
It’s then that my reflections become so clear, and I know I am not only meant to keep them to myself, I am meant to share them!
The Reflection: Longing
There will be days when you feel the deep ache of homesickness,
not for a place, but for a way of being.
Because sometimes,
Earth feels heavy… missing empathy, compassion, and love.
But where you come from, that kind of knowing is the air you breathe.
You are not lost.
You are a soul of the stars,
a starseed, gently placed here to remember and to reignite.
To remind those who’ve forgotten what this is: love.
