Some Points We Discussed

  • The traumatic event of losing her mom led Uma to redefine what her life was about.
  • She learnt that the situation of loss is an invitation to expand.
  • Every ending always has a hidden new beginning.
  • Obstacles are often an invitation to deepen our souls.
  • It is important to open ourselves up to the pain rather than contracting from it.
  • In order to embrace pain, we need to find a comforting container:
  • We could connect with someone who can bear witness and listen to our story.
  • Or we could turn to our journal. A blank page doesn’t judge our pain and fears.
  • Open yourself up to the pain and listen to what the pain is telling you.
  • Recognise life’s detours as an awakening of your soul.
  • During life’s detours,we  are faced with a choice to make.
  • You choose the safe option or you choose the unknown.
  • The challenge of embracing your pain is to have faith in taking baby steps on an unknown journey.
  • Trust that your soul knows the direction. Feel the fear but walk with faith.
  • We cannot hear our soul’s wisdom if we aren’t silent.
