MESSAGE

A template for unconditional love. Sweetness and strength that comes from being unconditionally
supported, loved, and encouraged by the Divine to make yourself known and to be known.

Release your deepest woundedness and let go of how it defines you. Feeling of being held and supported in a gentle, strong way. Able to feel expansive and grounded in the same breath. Muscles feel like they are being massaged, tingling, and comforted.

The bud speaks of potential, a life lived, a knowing realized, a breath experienced, a strength carried through. One breath to hold the infinite. Sweetly express your true nature. The love of your heart expands to encompass your whole body.

See the expression of the Divine/Universal love and be in awe of its grandeur, strength, and simplicity. I can heal your wounded places, the ones even you are not aware. I can heal your grief, your suffering, your loss, and your contempt. Allow me to be present while your grief is expressed, your loss known, your grievances heard, and then look at them float away getting smaller and smaller until they are no longer visible.
