Deep Pain and the Surrender to Self-Compassion

Ground down and breathe deep because this one hits hard. In this episode, Breena explores the many ways we are subject to pain, but also how we have the innate ability to self-soothe. How we are both the observer and the one experiencing all that life is serving us. And while all we want is to escape the moment, by accepting it's happening, we give ourselves more space to breathe,  to release control, and to move forward with clarity. This space is what we surrender to in our practice. It is how we continue to return home to ourselves.

This episode includes a self-compassion meditation, honoring both the part suffering within us, and the one who knows how to comfort.

On Surrendering —
I want to crawl out of my skin and into a tree. I want to surrender to what does not speak. I am tired of quick talk making choices. I want to give it back. To a wordless rhythm that knows what stays and what must go.
