Coming Home to Myself: Daily Reflections for a Woman's Body and Soul: Reflections for Nurturing a Woman's Body and Soul

Product Information

All of us go through times of transition, challenges, and difficulties. We may have faced or will face times of loss, confusion, or heartbreak, when we realize we cannot control the way our life is unfolding, whether in our personal lives or in the world around us. With mindfulness, we can learn to move through these intense, challenging times in ways that don’t add to the suffering and difficulty that are already there. We can even learn to open our hearts to the richness and wisdom these times of immense disruption can bring us. When we touch this experience of coming home, it is like we have finally arrived home after a long journey.

If a tree wants to reach high into the sky, wants to touch the stars and whisper with the clouds, then the first thing it has to do is to reach as deep into the earth with its roots, as deep as possible.

Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.” — Brené Brown

Bliss is neither of the body nor of the mind; hence it has infinite depth. It is your very soul, your self-nature, your being. Pleasure comes and goes; happiness happens and disappears. Bliss is forever. Even when we are not aware of it, it is there, present as an undercurrent; one just has to dig. However, on a subtle or not so subtle level, we might also learn from our parents or caregivers that “being creative” is unacceptable, or that expressing moderate anger or frustration is going against the norms of society. What we are actually doing is re-establishing these qualities and the energy inherent in them, to our psyche. Because of the power of the energy, this work is transformational. It can also be unnerving.Creating space for stillness and silence allows us to pause and find calmness within. Whether it's through daily moments of solitude, meditation practices, or immersing ourselves in activities that bring peace, we cultivate a sense of serenity that becomes a sanctuary amidst the busyness of life. In this state of calmness, we can rejuvenate our minds, replenish our spirits, and gain insights that lead to personal growth.

When we touch this experience of coming home, it is like we have finally arrived home after a long journey. We experience a sense of peace and even freedom, no matter how confining the outer circumstances. Coming home to ourselves feels like belonging; it is a state that holds us and enables us to hold others.

Oh brother, moving from place to place does not serve you well. Wherever you go, there you will also find yourself. Your shadow is always with you.”As a consequence, we try to hide what we believe is unacceptable. This pattern of behavior begins from the moment we are born. A normal aspect of growing up is that we are taught what constitutes appropriate social behavior and what does not. And I said to my body softly, ‘I want to be your friend.’ It took a long breath and replied, ‘ I have been waiting my whole life for this.’” – Nayyirah Waheed So, come home, for it’s where the journey starts. Stop thinking that your happiness will depend on anyone. Stop thinking that the world will come around and make everyone of your wish come true. No, come home! The moment you feel at home with yourself, you can start the journey towards growth and personal transformation. And that’s my whole work here, to help to dig a well within your being so that you can find the undercurrent of blissfulness.
