Thank Your Pain and Liberate It.
Sometimes the mere memory of a traumatic experience is too painful to even be conscious of, so we suppress it. When we bury our pain, it is still a part of us, only now it is functioning as a shadow aspect. Even if we are unaware of our unconscious parts, we don’t need to know exactly what we ...
Standing on My Own Two Feet.
Any event, small or big, can have a greatly traumatic or vital effect on our lives. The severity does not depend on the size of the event, rather on the emotional impact it has on each of us, and how we experience it. What can be highly traumatic for one can be nothing for another.

My belief at the time was that I would 'go' when the money ran out. I thought, "Well, fuck it, the Universe obviously must not want me in it." Job-hunting and interviewing became a daily practice of building myself up only to be torn down. So I gave the Universe a suicide deadline.

Thank You, Pain, For Teaching Me Your Language.
One day, I shared the Sanskrit prayer 'Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya' with her. She asked me to rewrite it for her every time I visited her in the nursing home. She would call me and ask me to spell it out for her again several times a month. I use this mantra everyday. I am grateful that it was ...
Never Let Someone Tell You That You Are Too Much Or Not Enough.
I had a big last fight with my ex from long ago before we finally broke up, and he told me that I should lose weight. So, I spent the next two years after the breakup struggling with the acceptance of my own body. I literally hated my body. In the mirror, I saw a bare-faced, obese ugliness. It ...
