It can be incredibly impactful and transformative when someone acknowledges our reality and affirms that they are with us in it. My spiritual teacher did it this week when she acknowledged the difficulty of this time and said, "I've got your back." Another beloved teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, offers mantras like, "Darling, I'm here for you," for this purpose. Together, we explore the meaning and heart-opening impact of this kind of love and support, then practice a guided meditation to embody that source of support for ourselves.
