“In my personal and professional experience, I have come to identify two essential elements for the healing journey:
Being seen, heard and understood by an empathic other, and
Embodying compassion toward one’s self.
These elements shift the experience of the hurt one from a place of disconnection to a place of connection, from contraction to expansion, from fixity to flow.
If you are hurting and reading this, know that present within you right now are the sprouts of self compassion. The very act of seeking an empathic other is an act of self compassion. May you sense some goodness, right now, knowing this.
I encourage you to reach out.” - Wren
“You carry Mother Earth inside of you.
She is not outside of you.
Mother Earth is not just your environment.
In that insight of inter-being,
it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer.”
