Today I am holding two opposing parts of me with compassion and understanding.

Today marks Imbolc, a threshold moment between winter and spring.🪴 Not a time to push forward, but to notice what’s quietly starting to shift and stir. Your invitation today is to take a moment and feel into this. Take a deep breath Place your hand on your heart Ask yourself: what wants gentle tending right now, rather than force? You’re welcome to share a word, a sentence, or simply sit with it.

TODAY I am held. Interestingly lots of different words were floating around, things I perhaps felt I "should" be writing here. Parts of me that still feel like they have to perform. I find it helpful to do these kinds of practices for exactly this reason. To get beyond those shoulda and to find what's real for me in this moment right now. I closed my eyes, put one hand on my heart and asked my body to guide me. Today I am held, she replied. 🌹

Today I am... expericning many different parts of me all at once. After some vivid dreams of my teenage years last night I woke up with a very anxious part of me needing attention. Years ago I would have ignored this and written this off as just "being anxious" but now things look a bit different for me. I tuned into this part with softness and asked "what do you need?" And a HUGE cry erupted from me. After I sat for a bit and was able to recognize that my body felt a bit lighter, my shoulders less tense and the fuzziness in my head was less. I share this in the hope that it might support one of you in a moment of high anxiety to come to this part of you with tenderness and see what is possible. With much love from my continual work in progress human ❤️
