Tonight I was with some difficult thoughts and feelings that felt very convincing..so much so I felt despairing. Despite my work I don't always jump straight into tending to myself...I first looped in my head, and I guess indulged in the pain for a bit. Eventually I found myself on the ground bringing in movement and with that allowing my feelings to come through. The deep crying of meeting an emotional pain within myself. Waves of this happening and moving through me...

Do you ever try to be with your feelings and find... nothing? Just blankness, or a spaced-out feeling, or a kind of not-quite-thereness? In this episode I want to talk about something that doesn't get said enough: that nothing is not nothing. The blankness, the dissociation, the feeling of absence, it's a gateway, not a dead end. And when we learn to be with it rather than push past it, something surprising often waits there.
