The rhythm of healing: How to gather yourself back together piece by piece

Returning to yourself does not happen with a snap of the fingers. It is a subtle, slow, jeweler's process, requiring patience and tenderness.

There is no need to set records. There is no need to prove to anyone that you have "worked through your traumas" or "reached a new level." Here, for the first time in many years, you can decide nothing at all.

Just brew some tea. Look out the window at the sunset sky. Listen to the silence between heartbeats. Let the space around you embrace and protect you. You are home. Your world has endured. And now it belongs only to you.
