Sitting with it
What does it mean to sit with something? We here this often; I'm guilty of saying it... But what does it mean to sit with our feelings, a worry, a grief etc.?
For me, when I say I need to sit with something, I mean I need to connect to what is present (physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally). I'm not looking to analyze or interpret or solve something. I'm just interested in connecting to what is there and letting it wash over me. When I do this, I give what's happening the space to subside, like a wave that builds and then crashes. This connection to what is present for me gets me out of the "what if" hurricane in my mind that whips up a lot of tension, agitation and stress.
What does sitting with something mean to you and how has it unfolded for you?
