"Lost" is a concept - not an orientation of the Soul. When we feel lost what we're often feeling is disconnected from what we truly belong to: our own deeper knowing and the guidance of our higher self + intuition.

How do we heal the disconnect and restore a feeling of belonging? This is the theme for today's Love Notes episode. Hope you'll join the conversation!

A Course in Miracles defines a miracle as a shift in perception. This means we find new ways of looking at old problems. When we give ourselves permission to frame the questions differently, new ideas get sparked and the shift from "stuck" to "possible" comes through.

Join the conversation today as we discuss this more deeply :)

Are you a shallow breather? An anxious breather? How often are you consciously aware of your breath? Have you ever paused, on purpose, between breaths - just to feel how precious and urgent the process of breathing is to your being? 

“Are you breathing just a little”, as Mary Oliver once wrote, “and calling it a life?”

There’s so much we can learn about ourselves when we take the time to tune into our own bodies and our own breath - which is actually Life itself, ceaselessly breathing through us.

Hope you’ll enjoy this contemplative episode today! And don’t forget to check out my free guided meditation at marywelch.com too!

Some of us section off when we're hurting - but this is not the same thing as wanting solitude.

Self isolation is a trauma response and stems from deep feelings of being unworthy to have our pain witnessed. Solitude, on the other hand, is a hallmark of a healthy relationship with ourselves and is born of deep self care and love.

Today we're diving into the difference between the two and how to support yourself if you're someone who tends to isolate when suffering. There is hope!

Our peace is found through living in collaboration and cooperation with Life. When we lose sight of that, when we feel particularly scared and separate from our true nature, it's helpful to lean on the spiritual side of ourselves and to reaffirm our oneness with all that is. This is what we're talking about on today's Love Notes show. I hope you'll join the conversation!

Today we're talking about the relationship between JOY and TRAUMA. They may sound like polar opposites but I think they’re actually deeply connected.

Cultivating joy is one of the most profound ways we heal trauma. Bringing it back into our lives. reminding ourselves that it is our birthright to experience joy and that it is possible for us to find our way back to joy even after catastrophic things have happened, can become an orientation for our healing that makes us want to show up for the hard work.

Have you ever heard the saying: Willpower is choosing between what you want now and what you want most? The concept of willpower is somewhat synonymous to that of self control, restraint and the capacity within a person to delay their gratification. But what if willpower is less about those white knuckling traits and more about the “power” within each of us to be “willing” to try something new?

We're exploring this topic and so much more on today's episode of Love Notes. Hope you'll join the conversation! And: don't forget to check out the new library of guided meditations at: marywelch.com - to keep you company along the healing journey!

Loneliness is a serious issue, often referred to as an 'epidemic' for its role in increased rates of dementia, heart disease and stroke for people who self describe this way.

Why is loneliness so hazardous to our health? Because we’re living against our nature when we’re living lonely lives. Our nature is to connect. It’s how we’re built as humans. So when our capacity to connect is blocked - by the circumstances in our lives, by our bad habits, by the cumulative, unprocessed trauma we’re carrying around inside of ourselves - we experience loneliness. We experience that painful gap between: the way we’re living vs the way we’re meant to live.

We're deep diving the causes and cures for loneliness on today's very special show - I hope you'll join us.

In the mechanical sense of the word, to depress something means to hold it down. Today we're taking a different look at depression from this POV.

What are we holding down when we feel depressed? Our hope? Our truth? Anger? And what would it be like to access those feelings and release them instead?

Sadness is often associated as a cause of depression but today we're reconsidering this. What if sadness is more like the byproduct of an ongoing situation where the body isn't able to express what it needs to express or honor the deeper feelings asking to be felt?

And what are the role of hormones in depression as well?

This is a rich topic and we may do a part 2 at some point but let's at least get the ball rolling today! Always love to hear your feedback at: marywelch.com or on Insta: @marywelchofficial
