Resting in Connection ~ disarming the ways in which we hold back from love & intimacy
A married couple I know and love shared with me last week one of the greatest resources they discovered last winter, as they were passing through a very difficult time: it was a practice they called ‘Resting in Connection.’ I was deeply inspired by the beauty and simplicity of this way of naming a very powerful resource. ‘Resting in Connection,’ if we take it up as a practice, will connect us with a deep source of nourishment and healing, and also with the challenges,...
