Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. This has been a powerful tool in my own healing journey and had an instrumental effect on the work I do with my clients. It's beautiful, liberating and accepting of all that is.

"The thinking mind is extinguished in love"
#babaramdass @babaramdass

Higher love... A love that continues to show up for yourself and for others. It accepts we are inextricably linked, and by showing up for one of these, we in fact show up for the other as well. Choose this. Again and again.

"Brave love is a love that accepts us as humans, as flawed. It's love that accepts us as ever changing and evolving. It's love that digs in deeper and sees the humanness... Struggles with it... And finds a way to still show up for it. Allow your souls to grow. Allow your hearts to transform through love and all of the pain and hurts that shows up in the absence of it. You are human. Show that. Let it be what walks you straight into the deepest, purest love and commitment you've ever felt."

Enjoy the moments you spend with the people you love. Allow yourself to feel happiness as it comes to you in the present moment.

I used to read this one in my yoga classes. I love it. “Make a home for eternal spirit in your heart. Notice what thoughts create tension or anxiety and choose to release them. To the degree that anxiety taints your motivation, to that same degree, you are less effective in all you do, for spirit is then denied access to your mind and heart, and you, in a literal sense, are not fully present. “The process of relaxing all thoughts that require tension to sustain them is a process of relaxing habits of the past and awakening to the reality of your own spiritual presence. “It is a process of losing interest in fearful ways of walking upon the earth and choosing to create your world in love through the action of your open heart. “Should you perceive a problem, you surround that problem with love. You define it in love. You recognize that it is caused by the lack of love that lies behind all problems. And with love, you introduce the understanding that provides the solution.” ~Ken Carey from Return of the Bird Tribe

Tiny Beautiful Things
Advice on love and life from Dear Sugar.

I've posted this before and it's always stuck with me. For me, it encourages acceptance and love for things outside of our control, and a deep trust for the importance of our path and the gifts to come.

Borrowed from @thegoodspirit
There’s one in you who’s sweet.
There’s one in you who’s mean.
Can you love them both?
Can you let them both be seen? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can you love the one who tries?
And love her when she fails?
Can you love the one who lies?
And love the one who wails? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can you love your tears?
Can you love your worry?
Can you love your darkest fears?
Can you love your fury? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can you love indifference?
Love the one who clings?
Can you love the vibrant one?
Love the one who sings? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can you love your addict?
Can you love your thief?
Can you love your vanity?
Can you love your grief? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can you love your inner child?
And your body as you age?
Can you love your wild side?
Release her from her cage?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can you love the one fulfilled?
And the one who’s not?
Can you love the one who’s chilled?
And whose temper’s hot?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can you love the weakling?
The one who’s sometimes sick?
Can you love the warrior?
Who fights through thin and thick? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can you love your crazy?
Can you love your sane?
Can you love your foolish heart?
Love your scattered brain?
There’s one in you who’s bored.
And one who’s often stressed
Can you love them both at once?
And she who tries her best? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If the answer’s “no.”
To some of the above
Then can you love the one in you
Who’s learning how to love

I love these words by astrologer Chani Nicholas. Too often there is a natural inclination to turn away from our pain and discomfort - not realizing there are opportunities and gifts hidden there.
It's okay to ask for help to find a new way to approach your pain (or trauma, whatever language you choose). It takes strength and courage, but you are not alone in this.
