Wow bro, that's dark - but beautiful, too Nice

@Esilda You're amazing, honestly, love you so much darl

@Preety_India

@Preety_India I did consider doing that, yeah, though I don't really feel the need to do so just at the moment - I may do in future, really appreciate the suggestion

Not at all, mate, I find it really interesting too! And if it's useful for other people, that makes sharing it worthwhile Isn't it! Kinda makes me wonder what emotional pain is, exactly, is it just physical pain with a story attached? Exactly, yes, couldn't agree more!! I think very often we just treat the symptoms, without really getting to the root of the issue. Exactly, well said

Been feeling quite a lot of pain and upset in my heart last night and this morning, the awakened energy's really pressing against those blockages in my heart which is making for a pretty uncomfortable, rather painful experience at the moment. I noticed some upset in my sacral chakra this morning too, which is interesting - that was a particular problem area for me a few years back when I was really struggling, I'd often feel a very painful contraction in that area, like a clenched fist in my gut, and a lot of upset ( I noticed there seemed to be a strong connection between the issues in my sacral and heart chakras around that time). It's generally felt much clearer since then though, so it's interesting that I've experienced a flare-up - not exactly sure what triggered that, though it passed pretty quickly (I think meditating this morning probably helped to alleviate it).

One more for good measure:

I really shouldn't have limited myself to just one song a day, I want to share so much music at the moment I seem to be in the mood for moody music today, I love this one:

Any time, darl, any time!

Think I'm losing my mind, could've sworn I posted my song for the day already! Never mind, here it is:

You and me both, sister! Used to be far and away my favourite band but I went quite a long time without listening to them, got back into them again recently though (even tried meditating to 'Kid A', which is an interesting experience ). Link up your favourite Radiohead song then darl

This is so good, I love this - thanks for sharing! It brings to mind a quote by Carl Jung that I saw recently which really resonated with me:

@Intraplanetary You're very welcome

This chap still doesn't appear to be that widely known, but I know I found his teachings so helpful when I was having a hard time emotionally and energetically so I just wanted to share here, for people who are sincerely interested in doing the hard yards of emotional and energetic clearing. The following link contains an archive of all his podcasts, which include a talk and then a Q&A with some of his students, who discuss their various issues and struggles and then get feedback from him: https://www.jonbernie.org/podcasts/

@RoerAmit All the best with it, my friend, my heart goes out to you.

@Gianna Exactly how I feel when I watch them playing together like this, I just love seeing a group of very accomplished musicians working together like that to produce something so beautiful

Been noticing some soreness at the base of my left thumb today, feels very fragile for some reason. Again it seems to be connected to some upset in my heart - it's kinda weird how it all fits together, though it figures, given that all the nerves in the body are part of one integrated system.

Not wrong about that, Preety, beautiful, beautiful song

I love that you're asking yourself these questions - I used to think that spirituality was about finding the right answers, but at a certain point I realised that the key is actually asking the right questions Oh bless you, thank you - likewise, you bring such a great energy too my love

@Hulia Right, I didn't know about that. I think we do all yearn for intimacy, deep down, even if we fear losing our autonomy. So maybe we're willing to make concessions so that we can have intimacy whilst still preserving our autonomy. We're all wounded, we're all just trying to figure it out - I'm not going to judge anyone else for their choices, God knows I've got some pretty unhealthy patterns around intimacy myself.

@Hulia Right, sorry, I understand what you mean now. I don't know, I think it's just a case of respecting each other's boundaries. I think it's perfectly possible to have intimacy in relationships without creating an unhealthy dynamic, though it does require a high level of consciousness from both people.

These feelings will pass, as @Natasha said, though I know only too well that it's hard to believe that when you're in the grip of emotions like sorrow and despair. It's in the very nature of those kinds of feelings that they don't feel like they're ever going to pass, they feel eternal. What helped me in those moments was to ask myself, 'What do I need right now?', and then just take care of my needs in the moment, whether that meant going for a walk, listening to music, meditating, doing breathing exercises, talking to a friend - whatever you need, and trusting that those feelings will eventually pass.
