Being Held
My song for being held, holding others, and being human; peacefully and gently, and for sending these healing vibrations everywhere, amplifying from your own loving heart.
Please relax, sit comfortably, or lie down, breathe deeply slowly a few times, and smile and relax your jaw; slightly open your mouth, before you read and listen to this.
Breathe through your nose, deeply from your stomach, and exhale more slowly.
Try yawning too a few times, because this helps our minds become more relaxed and peaceful.
Relax and breathe. Sense your mind and body becoming calmer, and then calm.
And then read, and listen….
Imagine you are a baby or small child and being held, very very lovingly.
As if you are free of everything, except the many joys that serve you and thrill your heart.
Because that is the reality you are making now :)
Hold that thought and feeling. You are free and peaceful and calm and grateful.
You are connected with infinite loving energies and you are amplifying all this everywhere, for everyone, and everything.
You are cascading transcendence.
Being Held, my song…..
It took me over 65 years to understand myself enough to write and to record this song, with the help of others, who are IMHO infinitely more beautiful souls than they’ll ever know.
Being held in so many ways by friends and family has helped me survive quite a lot that’s very difficult to describe.
I am grateful beyond words for my being held, and that I can hold others.
We can all wonder why we are not held more often.
We can all wonder why we do not hold others more often.
We can all wonder about what we might do, and think and dream, to help as all hold each other as much as possible, because the energies of holding, and even of imagining holding and being held, are powerful beyond word language alone.
The energies of holding and being held are hard-wired into our DNA and also part of the universal dust and stars from where we came and where we go, in whatever ways you like to imagine this.
You are fearless - or at least you are comfortable and peaceful, relaxed and embracing whatever fear actually is, inside our heads.
Fear is merely a mistaken idea that helps us to grow. You are switching it to light and love right now.
And you are infinitely stronger and more resilient than you believe.
Nobody can predict the future. The past is gone, and the only power you give the past is what you give it. You choose. Choose your now. Choose how to react to whatever happens.
Songs are beyond ‘word language’ that we normally think to be ways of communicating - to and with each other - about how we think and feel, and ideas for living, and being (how we exist and inspire others), more gratefully, forgivingly, compassionately - and lovingly - especially towards ourselves.
And so the song, Being Held, conveys infinitely more than I can do in these words.
Everyone is doing his/her best in the ways he/she sees themselves and all else; and those who do harm are in many ways suffering the most, because they have been damaged - usually as children - and they have not recovered.
To be denied holding and love as a child creates a susceptibility for being hurtful or selfish or blind to others needs in later life.
Many people grow to be beautifully compassionate through and because of this sort of trauma; but some people do not. They are reconstructed in unhelpful ways.
It is challenging to forgive damaged people, especially in political or other ‘authority’, who are incapable of understanding love and compassion.
This is not to condone psychopathy and narcissism in ‘leaders’. This is to understand that traumas, addictions, and false beliefs are part of the human condition.
The good in us individually and collectively rises above all else.
We hold and be held. And these ripples, like smiles, amplify and vibrate infinitely through all of us, and everything that lives and all the other energies that are one with us.
Including to those most damaged.
Love is infinite. It costs nothing and yet is priceless, beyond money.
Songs help convey these ideas of abundance, and free loving energies.
Loving vibrations. Feel them. Be them. Amplify them.
Close your eyes and feel the energy. Feel the sun or rain or wind, and listen to the birds and the trees. Connect. This is the infinite energy of life; of holding and being held.
Songs and music, like dance and nature - and much else that is simply beautiful, and which is deep in our souls - transcend what we have been taught about energies and what heals and sustains us.
Listen to your heart and soul. Open-hearted, we are more powerful than anything you can imagine.
The Being Held song has vibrations to open many hearts for holding and being held.
I’m imagining your own heart singing and amplifying all these loving energies and more.
