This week the truth is coming out, water is breaching the banks, and little kid puke is everywhere. How's your April going? (Hit reply and let us know.)
Risa comes to this week reallll short on sleep after a week with a sick kid up nights. In a delirium, she shares this meditation from cognitive hypnotherapist Andrew Johnson to help drop down into a lunar place, a resourced place, a source place: Meet Your Guide. For best effects, follow with a shot of Willie Nelson and his son crooning to you gently: Just Breathe.
Stay with me,
Let's just breathe.
Because it seems like everywhere we go this week we're thinking about how nightmares repeat, and how we intercede. Risa's self-recommended mourning music for the times when we just can't help but get dragged through the loop again is Julien Baker's Repeat:
All my greatest fears turn out to be
The gift of prophecy
All my nightmares coming true
Come do my outline in the street
While every night
I re-enact the same recurring dream
Now I'm stuck inside a vision that repeats
Repeats, repeats, repeats, repeats, repeats
Amy comes to this week buoyed by the big uplift that comes from taking off your mask, telling the truth to the gatekeeper, and getting help. She brings it back to the radical power of simple, grounded magic: tell the truth, just breathe, and look at the Moon. The song is Sugar, Man On The Moon:
It's the man on the moon
Saying goodnight to you
And oh, how it shines
He's a good friend of mine
He's a good friend of yours
Even many miles away
In a night of despair
Only one light is there
It's the man on the moon
Saying goodnight to you
If you look to the sky
Look him straight in the eye
And as strange as it seems
If you wish all your dreams
Will come true after all
Let's look them straight in the eye, say our wishes out loud, and hold onto our dreams.
