I just want to say thank you. This was the first time I was able to join because I had the summer off, and it's been amazing. Thank you for offering this and giving me the opportunity to reconnect with myself.
The meditation was amazing. When you mentioned a part of you that is always seeking, always learning, that really resonated. When I connected with that, everything was very abstract, like you say, gathering. But then I felt pain, and I feel like that's something that always happens to me. I start crying when I go deeper. It's always that pain right there, like a barrier I have to go through to go deeper.
That makes sense. Yes, that's exactly what we're talking about.
What you just said was so helpful. I'm going to start practicing that, because it makes so much sense. Thank you. I'll try to join more this summer.
