I am tired of the constant trauma and drama of our times.

I am going to allow myself to be tired today. Tomorrow’s another day.

I’ll allow myself to be unfinished, incomplete, and a work-in-progress.

I’ll let myself feel the weight in my heart today. I’ll become one with that weight. I’ll listen to her stories of deep sorrow.

I’ll ignore my to do list today. It can wait another day.

I’ll give myself freshly laundered sheets today. I’ll get enveloped under the covers, curl into a ball, and let my crystals heal me.

I’ll give up my expectations, solutions, worries, and desires today.

I’ll allow this day to be easy. I’ll breathe. I’ll listen. I’ll long for better times and at the same time deeply know that I get to hug and cradle these uneasy times.

I’ll let these times bend me, engage me, move through me, and sometimes overrun me.

I’ll rest in the heart of the divine today, letting the universal Mother feel my heartbeat, and give me sweet comfort.

And I’ll wake up tomorrow. I’ll do my healings tomorrow. I’ll do my soul practices tomorrow.

And I still won’t know how to be with all of this, how to heal all of this, and how to knit back so many broken hearts.

But I will continue to do what I can, with what I have, with all my being. I’ll rise. I’ll move through my day. I’ll know that I am not meant to know everything. I am not meant to heal everyone.

I’ll feel what I feel.

I’ll let the world touch me, breathe me, move me, create through me, and overwhelm me.

I’ll get tired. I’ll take a day off. I’ll start over another day.

I hope you can join me in allowing yourself to feel what you feel and be tired.

I hope you can find a way to nourish yourself today.

I hope you can have the courage to find ways to honor what you need.

I hope you can take a few deep breaths, slowly, gently, and lovingly.

I hope we can all move through these times with presence and love.

With love and light,

Damla

We all need a lot more kindness.

Yesterday my email exploded (aka it stopped working after working fine for 10+ years). After spending 3 hours on the phone with my email hosting company and trying a million things in between my actual work, I was completely overwhelmed. I could feel my body not having the resources to carry this charge. So at 9pm after another hourlong help desk call, I asked my husband to hold my hand. He listened as I explained the situation and tapped (find out about the EFT Tapping Points here). He then asked what he could do. I said ‘can you please reflect back to me what I just said?’ And he said ‘I see that you have explored lots of options and you are doing an amazing job handling this.’

That’s when I started to cry. Because that is my wound, my pattern. In all this I somehow think I am not being or doing enough. So I cried while I tapped (here’s a free EFT Tapping meditation that you can download and try). I let my inner child fully express herself. After 10 minutes she was calm and I was calm. I actually went back to check my email. My husband helped me do a few more tests. It is working now albeit slow for some reason I can’t figure out. This morning I woke up to a single important email that was in my inbox. Like a shiny gift waiting for me.

All this to say that whatever you are dealing with, I bet you can use some kindness today. I bet you could look yourself in the mirror and say ‘you are doing an amazing job’. And perhaps you can consider asking someone to hold your hand, listen to you deeply and reflect back to you what your inner child needs to hear. I am here if you need me.

With lots of love,

Damla

I have been talking more about the inner child healing aspect of my healing work. It has always been so natural for me to find and connect with the inner children of my clients. There is something truly magical about finding out where your inner child lives in you and what healing messages they have for you. You can watch my recent reels here:

​You have multiple inner children​

​Your inner child is a healer​

​Your inner child is not broken​

​Your inner child is waiting for you to connect with them​

​Your ancestors’ inner children continue to live in and through you​

​Your inner child is relational​

​If you don’t listen to your inner child, they will get louder​

(Follow me on Instagram to catch the next videos)

Inner child healing is a powerful way to heal your energetic wounds and reach your financial, relationship, and wellness goals. Sometimes your inner children can be holding on to a pattern that causes you pain or discomfort or disruption in an area of your life. I have found out that it is possible to connect with them and offer them other ways to communicate with you and support you.
