Embracing the Hurt that Heals
"Pain carves hollow spaces within us, creating vessels that may later be filled with wisdom." — Wendy
Physical Setting & Preparation
Find a quiet space where you can be undisturbed. If possible, arrange a small altar with a purple or deep red cloth. Place upon it a small bowl of water with a few drops of essential oil (rose or lavender if available), a stone that feels smooth to the touch, and something that represents transformation—perhaps a feather, a piece of bark, or an image that speaks to you of change. Sit in a way that allows your body to be fully supported, using cushions or a chair as needed. Place your right hand over your heart and your left hand palm up on your thigh, in a gesture that both acknowledges hurt and remains open to healing. Take twenty-five slow, centering breaths—one for each day that has passed in this month—allowing each exhale to create space around any pain you carry
