Dearest Christy,

What a gorgeous post this is. I've been carrying it around with me since you wrote it. I am moved by how beautifully you recognize that deepest part of you that is open, offering and sharing with others, recognizing heart and appreciating particularness. I am also inspired by they ways you are modeling how we may embrace the truth of our loving reflections, for as you say it can be such a challenging practice.

Last weekend I was meditating on essence. I was feeling currents of essence flowing through my being/body. In the flow of a particular thread you showed up clearly in my awareness. And then I felt myself sink deeper into relation and resonance with the thread of essence that was present. As you say, I was able to sidle up as myself in a much more open and accepting way.

The words of gratitude that came to me were: Thank you Christy, for the ways in which you help me anchor to essence. You see and reflect to me beauty and being that is often at the edges of my integrating. When you grant me the opportunity to have a shared experience of recognizing essence I am then able to integrate more fully an acceptance of this part of myself.

I noticed that I often have the experiences of feeling shakey in my fullness and feeling my inner Christy inside of me loving, supporting and reflecting... and so I anchor more solidly to essence.

What an unbelievably precious gift you are... Thank you, Christy.

I love you,
