I love the idea that the real me is and has always been there and I believe that AND I ALSO believe it’s not that simple or easy. The concept, the wholeness, the o.k.ness of all beings? I get it. But what is it like to start to live in that space in a body, heart, and brain that has walked this planet for a half century and most of the time did NOT feel that. It’s hard to language. Thanks for sharing the word voice. Relieved of the burden but also empty and disoriented. Yes. That.

Thanks for writing and naming that. A stage we don’t have a name for. INDEED. We need community to know that.

There is a kind of a void – an empty feeling. We are relieved of the heavy burden we carried but feel disoriented. Emotionally the negative energy is released but physically the traces still linger. We wake up thinking, Who am I? What really is my reality?I am still trying to figure out who is the real ME.
