Shilpa, thank you for sharing this. I'm so glad you and Austin were received with so much care after the accident and SO glad you both were relatively ok. Sending so much love 💜

Yes I really see the need for these repair cycles, and have been moving through my own lately. Yes to more of this deep and important acts of care.

You have expressed the tragic event so beautifully displaying great sense of awareness about your own emotions and allowing them to manifest in their own pace and healing you in the process. I was greatly moved by your sensitivity to your own needs and those of Austin and others. You also show your compassionate side as you reveal so many other facets that are present in such trauma-inducing events but are rarely brought to light. Than you for sharing your feelings and enlightening us. And i am glad both of you are fine and resting.

Oh my! Accidents are traumatic. Do you feel your energy rebounding? Body deals like this are shocking. Bowing to that and your ability to stay close to your bodies and each other from moment to moment.
