Sitting With Feeling

Hey beauty,

The last few weeks have cracked me open.

Not in a dramatic, thunderstorm kind of way.

But in that quiet, soul-whispering kind of way. Where you realise you’ve been doing again. Pushing again. Living in solution mode again.

When what you really needed… was to feel.

I’m learning slowly, messily how to just sit with what’s coming up.

No fixing. No fcking with it. Just letting the emotion have a voice.

For someone who’s spent most of her life in go-mode... The slow is the edge. The stillness is the work.

I had a call with my dear friend Donovan on Sunday. He’s pure liquid gold. He lives and breathes energy work and Kundalini. And every time I speak to him, I feel like my soul exhales.

He reminded me:

“The more we fight the emotion, the longer it stays. Emotions don’t always want to be fixed. They just want to be heard.”

That hit.

Because I’ve been trying to resolve emotions like they’re problems.

Trying to action my way out of a feeling. But the truth is... some emotions don’t need action.

They just need presence. They just need us to say:

“Hello feeling. What are you here to teach me?” “I’m listening.”

So I did. I sat with it.

And yes it was uncomfortable as hell. But it was also clarifying. Cleansing. Human.

This year’s been full of big, beautiful, brutal shifts. Some days I’m good. Radiant. Rooted. Other days I’m whispering what the fck is going on* to no one but the walls.

And honestly?

That’s okay.

That’s the work. That’s the invitation. That’s the OFH life to feel it all, not force it away.

🌊 Emotions are data.

🌙 Presence is the medicine.

💫 You’re not broken.

You’re just becoming.

Breathe with me. Let it move through. You’ve got this.

All my love, Mary-Anne x
