Love those cute and spot on drawings. Once my body decided to use the off switch 9 years ago, the awareness came of how much I was β€˜on’ all the time. Deep rest is still a skill I want to learn to master more fully. Great reminder, thank you, so much truth in your words!

Ah yes so clearly put! Isnt it fascinating that we can be so 'on' without even noticing that we lost the 'off'? Or thinking that 'off' is somehow an easy given, only to realise that hey, how many minutes have I consciously truly deeply experienced the peace and bliss of 'off'... the last year? The last decade? I solute your mastery πŸ™πŸ˜Š

Thank you! ☺️ It’s really a topic I’m wondering about often, I was born β€˜on’, and had no idea most of my life. The off can turn VERY off, until you notice it. It’s certainly not an easy given, it can hide in the tiniest of places. Being fully in our bodies is such a gift to give ourselves! πŸ’

I'm curious how you mean when you say that the off turns very off. Like the body's emergency switch like a burnout? Mmm when suddenly the capacity to be on even one more minute is fried and you are forced to learn to find off because every on burns and melts our brains and nerves.

The gift off being fully in our bodies πŸ’—

Yes, you said it exactly like I experienced it! Our bodies are so wise, not being β€˜fully landed’ in it made me not even feel pain often, which is wild if I think about it… so it teached me my β€˜on’ and β€˜off’ switch, by emergency paralysis and fried brain/nerves/spine. I can now honestly say I can feel my feet fully on the earth, and I love it πŸ₯Ήbecause that was like, new to me? Sounds odd but its more like an energetic colliding between soul and body πŸ₯°

Ah so inspiring thank you for sharing this! Feet fully on the earth πŸ™πŸ₯³ I wish I could say welcome down, but it will be you who have to welcome me as my attention finally lands ❀️ soul and body colliding. I think I know what you mean. Such a colourful way of describing this kind of vast but still present presence πŸ‘

I’m not sure if its a matter of attention, in hindsight. We land when we’re supposed to land… Take your time! ✨ Angels can’t be rushed, not even earth ones (the line between cheesy and colourful is thin sometimes with me… AND I LOVE IT πŸ˜†)
