Most of all Your soul and spirit needs The drenching shower of your own mindfulness. presence, open heartedness and compassion

Much pain that befell you was not your fault You did not cause it But such pain may have taught you not to trust Or to lose your faith and hope in life and goodness Perhaps it taught you better boundaries Never the less that earlier suffering may now be causing you unnecessary pain

There was so much that happened to you That you could not control That you were powerless over But now you can find the power to embrace your suffering And find your happiness in being kind

You can find that soothing place inside Where even though things hurt You are comforted You can find your power In self compassion In self love

And these words may help.

Little one, I know you have suffered And suffering is not easy But you can survive the painful memory If now you choose now not to add more suffering To any pain you may feel

Say again to pain or the body or soul that is hurting I am here I will never leave you I offer you my healing I hear you I see you I feel you I offer you my compassion You are precious to me And your needs matter I will always be here and never leave you

Olease turn to me when you are hurting and I will hold you tenderly and gently whenever you need and help you to embrace your vulnerability so you can emerge stronger than before.
