April 19 ~ 7:30 to 8:45 PM ~ Riding the Wave of Love Meditation w/ Pooja Naidu (http://www.heartspacemedia.com/events/riding-the-wave-of-love/)
This meditation fills my soul and moves my spirit. Pooja offers her meditation just once a month, so this is a heads up to join us. Pooja’s meditation followed by discussion with her lovely tea is quite an exceptional evening.
Also April 26 we will get together as part of the N.O.A.H group. This will be our 2nd event under this name. Nectar of Awakened Hearts is an attempt to open up our awareness to what we each have to offer to one another and to ourselves. We seldom reflect, or are very seldom asked what makes each of us matter. 4/ 26 is the date and by next email I will have an event link with more detail and insight.
What We Say When…
My reflection this week is on humility and grace. What do you say to someone when they tell you “I am suffering”?
It kind of knocks you off balance a bit when you hear it. It is not something you can ignore, or pretend not to hear.
This came up for me this week on three separate occasions, with three different people. It was just offered to me as part of a conversation and I am sure it just needed to pass their lips as a way of letting it live someplace else besides within themselves. Each of them just seemed to have the need to let go of those words. “I am suffering”
So how do we help those who gather the grace and humility to offer such vulnerability? I once thought that people expressed there deep feelings and emotions because they wanted your help. I, many times, would be fearful to listen or respond. Fearful, I realize now, of doing more harm…or causing more pain.
I know now, that suffering oftentimes needs someone just to listen. Hear me. Sit with me in this for awhile and let me share this part of me that is longing to be known. Not needing any help or way through it , not even requiring your sadness or wisdom, just hoping for your compassion to listen and the courage to say anything that needs to be said that might be life saving, or helpful, or the ability to know nothing more is needed.
We do not offer our suffering to just anyone. So when it comes, I realize now, there is great opportunity for what is concealed in me to meet up with what is concealed in another. Emergence toward light. There is love in the telling and love in the listening. Light coming in no matter how it sounds, it is love being offered, no matter what the suffering is, light being offered in the silence of listening and light in any loving response.
I offer my thoughts to express the experiences I have, and the ones we most likely share. I offer them after reflection and when I see there might be a missed perspective. There is quite a glow created between the ear turned to listen and the mouth ready t speak. I was able to experience this this week. I witnessed only the light and the love this time around. No worry or fear, just rest in the love that was shared.
Namaste,
Peace and Blessings,
Denise Yocco
