Naika | Life Doula + Yoga Therapist

I once heard a friend say, “I want to feel it all.”

I'm not sure I've ever heard such an audacious statement.

I decided early, and with confirmation from my father, that life is entirely too much to FEEL IT ALL.

I realized that my quick judgment was from my limited experience. Maybe her life afforded her the safety to feel. Mine had not.

She is Brave.

The paradigm-shattering idea still sparked my mercurial curiosity.

Today, I understand my body is, and always was keeping the score.

I'm sharing my journey to allowing myself to feel my feelings,
the BIG overwhelming and scary ones,
the little barely noticeable sad ones,
and the ones full of JOY
in my latest LotusMoonHoney Substack essay, The Feast of Life: Joy, grief, awe, anger, love, uncertainty. All belong.

Let's talk about the powerful gift in the honey-
allowing ourselves to FEEL IT ALL.
