It is said that the price of great love is great pain. Your pain shows so vividly in your words, Storybook. My heart goes out to you.
One of the things that make people so loveable is how they show their love. Your love for your husband shines brightly.
So that, my dear, makes you loveable. In this difficult time, remember that. Remember to love yourself.
People crave physical touch. It is part of what makes us so wonderfully human.
But during these crazy times we live in, touch is not possible, like it used to be.
AMT’s “heart on the hand” advice is “right on”. Here is something that has worked for me:
Sole to Soul Connection
It is interesting that soul and sole are homonyms.
Set yourself in a restful, relaxing position.
Place your bare hand on the bare sole of your foot.
Think, “sole, soul”.
Imagine this tender physical part of you (sole) representing the tender spiritual part of you (soul).
Close your eyes, relax, breathe deeply in and out.
Imagine this sweet physical sensation transcending into a sweet spiritual sensation.
Touch your soul by touching your sole.
Immerse yourself in the sweet sensation.
Nurture yourself. Love yourself.
Feel the love of your loved ones flowing through to your soul.
Peace flows from love.
I wish you love and peace, Storybook.
