🌿 Where You Are Now
Feeling numb inside is like walking through a fog where your heart’s colors seem muted and distant. It’s okay to feel this way sometimes — your soul is gently asking for care and understanding. You are not alone in this quiet struggle, and there is a way back to feeling alive and connected again.
🕉️ Timeless Words
सुखदुःखे समे कृत्वा लाभालाभौ जयाजयौ।
ततो युद्धाय युज्यस्व नैवं पापमवाप्स्यसि॥
(भगवद्गीता 2.38)
English Translation:
"Treating pleasure and pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat alike, engage yourself in battle for your duty. Thus, you will not incur sin."
Meaning:
Krishna teaches us to meet life's ups and downs with balanced calmness. Emotional numbness often comes from overwhelming stress or anxiety — this verse reminds us to gently face our feelings without harsh judgment, accepting both joy and pain as part of our journey.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Recognize that numbness is often a protective shield your mind creates when overwhelmed.
- Practice observing your feelings without forcing them; awareness is the first step to healing.
- Engage in small acts of self-care that awaken your senses—like deep breathing or gentle movement.
- Remember, emotions ebb and flow — this too shall pass with patience and kindness.
- Seek connection with others or nature to gently reawaken your heart’s warmth.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be telling yourself, "Why can't I feel anything? Am I broken?" These thoughts can feel heavy and isolating. But your numbness is not a failure—it’s a sign your spirit needs rest and gentle attention. It’s okay to be tender with yourself now, without rushing to “fix” how you feel.
📿 What He Would Say...
"My dear friend, do not fear this silence within. Even the stillest lake reflects the sky clearly when calm. Sit quietly with yourself, without pushing or pulling at your feelings. I am with you in this quiet place. Let your heart breathe slowly — the warmth will return when you allow it space."
