I Took a Vacation and Let the World Bend to Me
We should all live this gloriously
There is no easy way to say this. Not gracefully anyway. We are terrible at taking vacations. As a species. As mothers. As partners. As friends. The idea of really being on vacation and letting the world bend to us is now foreign. And why is that? Social Media and this need to be seen and heard.
I’m sure this same story has been written a bazillion times across all social media platforms, but I’m new to Medium so I will attempt to tell my story with a slight twist.
As a Reiki Master and Meditation Teacher, I teach the idea of pausing long enough to listen.
I teach about the importance of stopping.
I teach about the nuance of place.
I ask others to reach into their depleted wells and pull out the sludge (a gross image, I know, sorry, but it is an effective one) that has accumulated there throughout multiple lifetimes.
This sludge is grief. It is frustration, disappointment, rejection, and fear. We accumulate grief and carry it with us energetically everywhere we go, and unless we clean out this well of grief the well will continue to accumulate more and more grief.
