Gentle and Tender
A reflection on approaching difficult emotions slowly, letting the heart do its work rather than forcing through resistance.
This is something you can approach slowly, with tenderness, gently. And then also listen. You can feel when it's good for now, when it's enough. Maybe just sitting with a little bit of sadness, or that sense of being down.
When the pushing relaxes
You can notice how, if that struggle and that boundary of pushing and pulling starts to relax, it's because you're close to that which the whole mechanism is trying to control. Just be gentle and tender, and let your heart do the work.
