Our Life in Transition group gathered, as always to explore what was up for them and it was the subject of loneliness, sadness, illness, loss, and disappointments. It surprisingly had been a difficult time.
I suggested they get in the car and follow me.
I took the group on one of my favorite nature walks. We walked in silence. I could hear sniffles, see hands wiping eyes, and heads down as I had them pause and played some music.
When we returned home I led them in a meditation, Kleenex in hand for each and then in a non-structured writing time, for fifteen minutes.
Each person expressed feeling better. Hugs, warm tea, and pumpkin sweets ended our time together.
What have you discovered that heals you?
My hope is each of you explore what comforts you and that you ask for help .
Take good care
