Gosh. You summed it up perfectly and I feel incredibly seen! Thank you. I’m currently navigating this, trying to release the need to be on a constant conveyor belt of self improvement and allow myself to just be
Thank you SO much for this! I really needed it! It's exactly what I've been struggling with recently! But you're right. Sometimes healing just means 'resting'. Not analysing emotions, but sitting with them. Acknowledging that they're there 'just because'. I should practice this lesson more. It really WOULD be a relief for me, as I've been stressing about self healing so much recently that it was starting to feel like a chore, & I didn't want to do anything at all! Now I see that I don't have to be 'all or nothing'. I can be 'inbetween'. A sudden epihpany for me there! Thank you!
I resonated so deeply with this, Ayushi. I’ve often felt guilty for “doing nothing,” even when I knew I needed that time to rest or reset. There have been moments when I’ve suddenly felt like crying—without a clear reason—and instead of trying to fix or understand it, I’ve just let myself weep. And more often than not, it feels good. It’s a release. It’s healing.
The pressure to emotionally grow every day is real—and heavy. But when I view it through a spiritual lens, especially the Vedas, I’m reminded that we’re here to journey, not perform. Emotional healing isn’t linear. It’s not a metric to measure. And when we stop treating it like one, we soften. We breathe. We begin to live with ourselves, not just through ourselves.
In many ways, it’s like meditation—when thoughts come, you don’t block them, you let them pass. You don’t chase the peace; you allow it. Similarly, I’m learning to let emotions arise, move through me, and pass, without over-analyzing each one.
Thank you for writing this—it reminded me that it’s okay to feel deeply, to slow down, and to honor that part of ourselves that just needs stillness. What a quiet privilege it is to take that time.
As a retired school principle , my working life was constantly under scrutiny. Although I’ve been retired a number of years now, I think that accountability has stayed with me. I need a reason for doing anything and if I don’t know what the reason is, then I will ask the question why. In your video you talk about being curious about asking why but I think there is a difference when to ask that question.
This was such a refreshing read! It's such a helpful reminder and I love how you used the pictures with your words. Let the feelings was like waves and play and rest and not control it. Thank you
this resonates with me deeply considering my current state of mind; I have fallen a bit out of a routine that I was so used to keeping up with. I felt as though falling out of this routine I was digging a pit for myself and dwelling in it. your writing made me notice a bit more how I am allowing myself to breathe and be someone outside of my regular basis I curated; that this is totally a OK. I adore your intelligence and always look forward to reading more <3
Thank you so much for writing these words, everything you write is always so accurate, so obvious once written. I wish I could do that with such talent! The thing is, having an auto-immune disease, it is much harder to step away from the tracking, for you never know when the disease will wake up, if it wakes up. Every emotion can be a trigger. Like a Damocles' sword, the disease is always around, never completely silent. The rest is never fully resting, morning meditation's good effects do not last all day long, far from it... so I try, and I try... too much, too hard... exactly what I should not be doing. And knowing it is just adding culpability to a never ending culpability. I will come to read again this beautiful text every once in a while... maybe I will notice some slight, yet true changes over time... thank you 🙏
Wow, this so resonates with what has been going on in my head lately.
Too much thinking, too much perfection and striving. Thank you. I will try to just be, just walk, just be quiet without trying to always be busy and better.🙏🏼💕
You put into words so many times my exact feelings lately. Thank you for your voice!
I can’t even explain how all those words spoken to my soul. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
