My heart is so tired...my mind..body..deep suffering. There is deep compassion...kindness..I feel it. Im so sad. Allowing myself to mourn the life I could've had. Denying nothing. Accepting all. All has passed. Full surrender without collapse. The floodgates are opening. I don't want to lose myself in another numbing out depressed state of being for weeks..months. It's been my pattern after surviving trauma after trauma. I grieve for myself and also feel the suffering of those I love. For Mother Earth and for humanity. That's a lot of sadness! Perhaps I can get through this.Perhaps it's an essential stage in my healing journey. Maybe I'm exhausted and just need to rest. Sending so much love to everyone and so much gratitude to Gaia and - of course - to Tara and her team . Blessed Lion's Gateway, beautiful souls. Momma lioness needs to rest ☀️💫☀️

This post just about summarizes my experiences of suffering, depression, tiredness and sadness. Thank you for sharing. I feel less alone. I am resonating with this meditation practice. I long for peace in my body and heart and I'm immensely grateful for Tara's voice, presence and works. I'm grateful for the internet and the opportunity to experience all of this goodness from the confort of my home 💛

The planet and all beings within it are feeling ALL of the involution changes as we make our way to love and in love. Growing and expanding in awareness of I Am. Seeking each other in compassion and gratitude for the guidance of our inner compass, knowing that all is well, regardless of outer appearances. Namaste.

I feel for you and with you. I am 72 and have been trying to improve myself a good part of my life. But when I hear these advanced people, I feel ashamed of myself, for not being able to live up to my own expectations 😕 😔 👵🤞🫂🙏🏻

I feel the same way. The past 6 months have been awful. The world has been descending into a dark age where war and violence are routine. So it's hard to see the sky smiling. But I try to be kind and smile at others. Hoping for change.
