\nDear Guides & Guardian Spirits, I woke at 3 and didn\u2019t sleep again.\u00a0 I\u2019m exhausted and depressed and scared.\u00a0 Please help me.
\n Dear Jenny, we love you very much.\u00a0 We know it\u2019s hard for you to feel our presence, but we are gathered all around you loving you.\u00a0 The cold stoniness that you are feeling is that of a baby who has been traumatized.\u00a0 Remind yourself of this, and let your natural compassion soften your heart.\u00a0 The baby is in trouble and in pain, just like the people at the retreat that your heart went out to.<\/em>
\nMy heart feels wide open to the cold wind.\u00a0 I desperately need warmth and comfort.
\n There, there, dear. This is very difficult work.\u00a0 The baby is not a failure because it is frightened and frozen and doesn\u2019t know what to do.\u00a0 The baby was truly helpless, and what she needed was someone to scoop her up with a lot of warmth and love, and she didn\u2019t get it.\u00a0 She got judgements and criticism and cold hard edges.\u00a0 This is what you are up against.\u00a0 What you are doing is hard, hard work and you don\u2019t have enough support.\u00a0 You need medication just to make your life workable.\u00a0 It has worked before, it will work again.\u00a0 The thyroid supplements will help too.\u00a0 Hang on, dear, things will get better.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
