Emotions are for feeling 

Would you like to know what’s on the other side of chronic pain? 
What it feels like to exist as more colors than just gray
there’s a rainbow of emotions eager to play 
tune in to hear what they have to say
One hand on your heart 
one hand on your belly 
self-love and self care 
make for a being that is happy 
Happy

Settle in dear one 
emotions are for feeling 
Why fly out of your body 
and hang out by the ceiling?
when you could join your spirit with your body and begin the real healing

Fall in line with the centerline of your spine 
bones stacked so your muscles can relax 
be still 
be still
melt your muscles over your bones 
yes this body can be a home 

that fear in your hips 
that anxiety in your heart 
require your loving presence 
before they’re willing 
to break apart 
no one said this journey would be comfortable
but it’s better to start.
