Susanne Marie ~ Embracing the Human Experience

Learning to rest in our own being and cultivating the practice of presence can help us become more available to our human experience, including the parts we find difficult or would rather avoid.

So much of our energy goes into resisting what we feel, pushing away parts of ourselves, or wishing things were different. Even our ideas about awakening and what it means to be spiritually free can sometimes get in the way of fully meeting our humanity.

Making room for all of who we are is an essential part of the embodiment journey. As we learn to rest in presence, we can begin to meet even the uncomfortable and unfamiliar parts of our experience with greater space, kindness, and understanding.

Our relationship with ourselves, with one another, and with the Earth is deeply interconnected. As we become more willing to include the whole of our humanity, this also touches the way we participate in the larger human family and the world we share. This feels particularly important in the times we are living in.

Bring your own life and questions. I look forward to exploring this together.
