on connection

I've been thinking a lot about boundaries and inner healing and how this work can ripple out... 💞

How life hardens us, through pain and struggle and how we create these shells and how reconnecting to our "heartstring operator" can soften us and the light can shine through again and how this might inspire others.

This reflection comes after thinking about boundaries and how someone else's boundaries can impact us.

It's so easy to spin into a place of self-judgement and perpetuate that energy.

But!!
And???

I wonder if instead of staying in the "hurt" place, can we look within and somehow heal the energies and then allow ourselves to shine bright. Does this ripple out collectively?

(Please note that I understand the need for boundaries. They are necessary and helpful! This is my way of working through discomfort of not being able to "fix" everything from the outside. I am starting to really understand that it's about our inner healing.)

P.S. I hope to make more little videos like this. I know it's too fast in spots, but I just wanted to work through the idea. :)
