I’d like you to think of someone in your life, preferably someone with whom you have lots of “stuff.” It could be a brother, lover, spouse, landlord. Choose somebody with whom you have plenty of human connection. 👫
This might best be done well with your eyes closed actually. Go inside, and I’d like you first to think about this person. Bring them before you and think about them. What do you think about this person? What are your opinions about this person? 🧠
Notice any judgments that you might have, positive or negative. What do you think about them? Any diagnostic thoughts? Watch your mind thinking about this person: your thoughts, your ideas, your opinions, your diagnoses-- your stuff.
Next, what do you feel about this person. Putting a hand on your chest helps; you need to drop out of your head, into your body, into your blood, into the ocean of your inner world. Listen to your feelings about them. Let the ocean be big and alive, rich within you. Let it be unruly, or peaceful, or whatever it is. These are your feelings about this person. Your emotions, your tides, your way of being moved. 🌊
In the midst of all of this, not needing to deny or banish it, breathe open the whirlpool of empty space in the center of your chest; open into your deep heart. Open, and make space—enough space just to hold this person in your heart and know them. Just know them. Hold them in this compassionate light, and know them. 🫂
