Today I received a message that touched me deeply.
It came from my beautiful friend Annika, who also took this beautiful photo of the feathers.
“I did it myself, Annika! I filled myself up with my own energy! I had a similar experience to the one I had with you, but this time on my own. I’m almost crying now, and every hair on my body is standing on end! Just before that, I had found seven feathers, and I know they mean something to me. And the relationship between my daughter and me has never been as beautiful as it is now since I came home from seeing you. Something has shifted in the energies and the balance, and I feel so happy!”
When I read her words, I am filled with joy.
Not because she had a special experience.
Not even because she felt the same love and presence she had experienced during a session with me.
But because she felt it again.
The love.
The presence.
The connection.
That which, to me, feels more real than all the thoughts we carry around.
And what also touches me is what she shares about her relationship with her daughter.
I have seen it so many times.
When we come closer to ourselves, something often begins to shift in our relationships.
Not because we try to change them.
Not because we work on them.
But because something within us softens.
We become more at home within ourselves.
More allowing.
More grounded.
And suddenly, there is more space for the other person to be themselves too.
I have seen relationships between parents and children become warmer, freer, and more alive.
Not more entangled.
Not more dependent on one another.
Quite the opposite.
More autonomous.
More accepting.
As if love takes its place at the center instead of fear.
As if both people can breathe a little more freely.
Perhaps that is why messages like this touch me so deeply.
They remind me of a deep knowing: that love does not only change how we feel.
It changes how we meet life.
How we meet our children.
How we meet one another.
And sometimes it all begins with a single moment of recognition.
A moment when we remember who we are.
xo,
Annika
