Darling

I am a continuation, like the rain is a continuation of the cloud.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Thich Nhat Hanh passed away a few days ago. He slipped out of this dimension into a higher vibration at the age of 95. How blessed we have been on this planet to have shared time and space with him. I learned so much just from his gentle demeanor, to say nothing of his wise teachings.

From this Vietnamese Thiền Buddhist monk and peace activist, I received energetic downloads which raised my frequency, and enabled me to hold space for others, see differently, reframe difficult situations, revisit narratives, re-story, and be gracious with others as well as myself.

Of all of his wisdom he unpacked, “Darling” was my most favorite teaching.

Darling, I am here for you.

“When you love someone, the best thing you can offer him/her is your presence. How can you love if you are not there? So you look into his/her eyes and say, “Darling, I am here for you.” You offer your true presence… you are not preoccupied with the past or the future or your project. You are there for your beloved one.”

Darling, I know you are there.

“You recognize the presence of your beloved one as something very precious. You embrace your beloved one with mindfulness… and she/he will bloom like a flower. To be loved is to be recognized as existing.

❤ This gentle souls taught me that these two mantras can bring happiness right away.

Darling, I know you suffer… that is why I am here for you. 

“Before you even try to “fix” or do something for your beloved, you acknowledge their pain, their suffering. And stay.”

Darling, I suffer. I am trying my best. Please help me.

“When you yourself are in pain – or when your beloved one is the instigator of this pain – do not hide yourself or go off into your room away to suffer alone or to punish the other one.”

❤ If you can bring yourself to practice these four mantras, you will suffer less right away.

The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Thank you for your energies of Love to us, Sweet Beloved. We already miss you, Darling. ❤
