Learning Gently

“I learn my lessons gently”

This has been a profoundly freeing realization!

Historically, I’ve learned lessons the hard way, taken the long way around, reinvented the wheel, and experienced a lot of pain, heartache, and setback because of it. When reading, Conscious Loving by Gay Hendricks, with my partner Tara, it dawned on us that process can be gentle, easeful, graceful. We don’t have to struggle to learn. We can allow ourselves to incorporate the teachings of Life without ripping ourselves apart or shoving spears into our heart. We can let it be like the current of the ocean. Even in the depths, even in intensity, learning can be gentle.

I release the limiting belief pattern that learning and processing must be painful.

I allow myself to learn and process with gentle grace and effortless effort.

May you choose to do the same, it will save you time and suffering.
