Woke up today from a dream that had the message that I was living in perpetual suffering. Anxiety, busyness, shaking voice, trembling heartbeat, so I listened to the meditation for calm and these words stuck out.
You have nothing to fix, nothing to force. Just this moment, just this breath.
Release pressure to hold it all.
Remind yourself you don’t have to do it all to be worthy.
You don’t have to be busy to be valuable.
You get to be still, you get to feel peace.
Do i get to be still? It doesnt feel like it!
There was some part of me that braces and cries that they don’t feel worthy that they don’t get to be still they don’t get to feel peace that they must be guarding at all times. Deep grief and fear truly linked to feeling a sense of perpetual suffering.
I am trying to settle into softness and believe that I am worthy of calm, but why is it anytime I touch that space the quivering and fear pulls me out of it?
