Wow Jacki you nailed this for me today! YEARNING! What a great word! I’ve been yearning big time and feeling so out of sorts because I didn’t realize it! Journaling today has given me perspective & BTW your list of yearning matches mine! My 3: 1. Silence/living consciously 2. Move 3. Shorten my daily to do list and enjoy each task ❤️
I yearn for professional success that fulfills my purpose and benefits my family financially. I feel it deep in my bones. It feels like longing it feels like a bird trying to fly and not knowing how.
I yearn daily for deep soulful connection.
I yearn for coffee in the morning, preferably made by someone else.
I yearn for structure that lands the groundwork for connection, creativity and courage.
I yearn for the peace and stillness of the house when everyone is tucked in their beds safely in our home.
I yearn for adventure, exploring new places, new ideas and new ways of thinking.
I yearn for fall and stepping outside and needing to ask if I need an extra layer.
I yearn for my children's happiness.
practices:
biggest practice is to allow the yearning and shift it from it being a negative to actually being a connection to my truest most natural desire. I have a tendancy to yearn without action which leads to exhaustion and giving up on the yearning. A practice I can see here is to feel the body sensation and to keep moving toward yearning and the accompanying action (if any).
About to sign off and when I was thinking about this I was thinking of the yearning I see on my dog's face as she sits before she's fed. I can see the pure desire, joy and yearning on her face. To be that excited is a gift. Where I think humans go off the rails is to deny the yearning that fills the soul. WE're so conditioned as a society to fill the yearning that doesn't fill our soul (the OVER'ing - scrolling, drinking, eating, spending).

Yearning that fuels the soul.
