Deer Mouse - Nest from Prairie Majesty Oracle by Kara Simons and Amy Putney Koenig.
"Would more tenderness help?"
Let's talk self talk. When challenging situations or feelings arise, is your inner dialogue critical or reassuring? How do you instinctively treat yourself?
It's impossible to avoid difficult experiences in life. We go through them and witness others doing the same. Think back to a time when you supported and encouraged a friend or relative. Are you treating yourself with this same care?
Deer Mouse scampers to your feet with a mindfulness exercise today. Reach down with cupped hands, invite him to crawl on, and lift his eye to eye. His body is covered in soft, fine fur reminiscent of Deer's brown coat and white underside. What feelings does his tiny presence evoke? His expression is probably sweet and sleepy - he's used to spending the day in his nest. If you feel comfortable, imagine placing him inside your chest so he can curl up and rest on your breastbone. Allow his presence to represent your vulnerability, your inner child, your need for tenderness.
If you wouldn't say it to Deer Mouse think twice before saying it to yourself.
Deer Mouse also asks us to use our power for the uplifting of everyone. There is no hierarchy of importance in a truly free society.
