\nOur amazing capacity to separate parts of ourselves from ourselves - to keep the inner experiences of grief, or joy, or longing away and out of view. How this serves us. And how it can also lead us away from ourselves and all that we have to bring to the world. The letting go, falling in, opening that's available to us that can play its part in reuniting ourselves with what would otherwise be lost.
\n
\nThis week's Turning Towards Life is a conversation about the possibility of letting ourselves tumble into our own hearts - something that many of us have been taught never to do. It's hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.
\n
\nHere's a link to the details of the new Thirdspace Leading from Essential Self programme which we talked about in the previous episode and which is is coming up soon, and to our year-long Professional Coaching Course which begins in June 2022

\n\n\n\nFalling Down
\n
\nWe try so hard to stay up
\nTo keep from falling down
\nYet there is a falling into ourselves,
\nThat is of the essence.
\n
\nThere is a tumbling
\nInto the heart
\nThat means we must open
\nTo our beauty and our pain.
\n
\nWithout a willingness to surrender
\nTo a flow of feelings,
\nReceive them with compassion,
\nWe may never come to know
\nThat sweet sense of oneness
\nWith ourselves,
\nThat simple bliss in being
\nBeneath all our distress.
\n
\nWe try so hard to stay up
\nYet there is a falling down,
\nThat is of the essence.
