It sure was potent, heartwarming and real - thanks so much you lovely people for the sharing, discussion, insight and collaborative energy 💛

Blessed travels you two ✨

Further ponderations: Does it matter though, if this is our 'top life' and we've decided not to return? Or will travelling with implants etc impact 'on the other side' so to speak? ✨

Thanks so much Louise 💛

Thank you Cifehtr and Heather for this hearty discussion. A big task in this life (perhaps for some of us more than others) is the work of not bypassing grief and trauma, but to find our own unique ways through it, and to heal these stories with aroha 💛 The deeper the grief the more radiant the love - Rumi 🕊️

@Madelyn Fletcher thanks for responding Madelyn 🕊️ In a nutshell, there've been many psychological and spiritual modalities during my life that have projected their opinions about when they deem it 'time to move on' or 'how to do it right' ... aka a directive to not feel-the-feels and bypass strong emotion altogether (presumably because grief is uncomfortable to be around for many people). I've found (this lifetime) that by allowing myself to feel emotions fully, it has allowed for a discharging of any stuck energy that requires a release (and sometimes this means asking for support too). How about you? ✨

Kia ora @Heather Leigh 🕊️ Thank you for sharing from your heart. I was deeply moved during yesterday's session. Not only with the challenge to continue releasing past attachments (I'm not coming back again either) but it was also a potent reminder of the work I've done so far. It seems like many of us have packed a lot into this life so we don't need to return. Yesterday, I wanted to say Me Too many times. People probably wouldn't believe me if they knew the extensive trauma I've experienced, healed and continue to release. I've spoken to some of this via my creative work (so that others know that they're not alone) but I acknowledge that 'being open and vulnerable' can also feel isolating. And yet, we are never alone. I think my soul has gotten easily caught up in this belief in the past. The mantra 'I am not my past' has been incredibly helpful - those who've seen this have remained present, while others who can't have dropped away. The Skool community you are building is an antidote to this (potential) sense of isolation and it brings us together in community. I acknowledge and thank you from my heart Heather and @Louise Stefanie for opening the door to having these kinds of conversations 💛 Kā mihi aroha ki a kōrua xx
