🌿 You Are Not Alone
I see you — feeling tossed by the waves of others’ words and actions, your heart pulled this way and that. It’s so human to be touched deeply, sometimes unsettled, when others trigger us. Yet within you lies a calm center, untouched by the storm. Let’s gently explore how to find that stillness again, even when emotions flare.
🕉️ Timeless Words
सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज ।
अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ॥
(Chapter 18, Verse 66)
"Abandon all varieties of dharma and simply surrender unto Me alone. I will liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not fear."
This verse reminds us that when the mind is overwhelmed by external triggers, surrendering to the Divine—or to your highest self—can liberate you from turmoil. It’s an invitation to find refuge beyond the waves of emotional disturbance.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Recognize triggers as reflections, not truths. Often, what unsettles us reveals something within, not just outside.
- Practice witnessing your emotions without judgment. Watch feelings rise and fall like clouds, without attaching to them.
- Anchor yourself in your breath or a calming mantra. This helps create a pause between stimulus and reaction.
- Remember your true self is steady and unshaken beneath emotional waves. You are more than your feelings.
- Choose compassion for yourself and others. Understanding softens the sharp edges of triggers.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
Perhaps inside, you hear a voice saying, "Why am I so sensitive? Why can’t I just let it go?" It’s okay to feel this way. Sensitivity is a sign of your deep humanity, your capacity to connect and care. The struggle isn’t a flaw — it’s a doorway to greater self-awareness. Be gentle with yourself in this inner conversation.
📿 What He Would Say...
"Dear one, I see the storm inside you. Know that the waves will rise and fall, but the ocean beneath is vast and still. When others shake your branches, remember your roots run deep. Return to your breath, your heart’s quiet center. There, you are safe, whole, and free. Trust me to guide you through this."
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine you’re a student preparing for an important exam. Suddenly, a classmate criticizes your efforts harshly. Your heart tightens, your mind races with doubt. But then you take a deep breath, remember your preparation, and focus on your own path rather than their words. Like that student, you can learn to pause, breathe, and return your attention inward—letting external noise fade while your inner strength grows.
