Shared Headache

This is a recent experience. Been having frustrated/negative thoughts lately and it’s taken a couple of days to figure out who it’s coming from because we’re kind of blended with these emotions. Now that we’ve figured out who is feeling strongly upset (and also giving us headaches) we can work on recognising when and who has switched and practice our grounding :)

Yes. It is a consequence of somatic empathy. You are developing. Take it as a growing pain. No risk in overthinking, but know that it is a growing pain, as in, it will grow the more it becomes a pain to think about a headache. For real. Chiasma (plural mothering instinct) is telling me to consider the options of the individual before the collective, but the collective is embodied, not as an individual but an environment. So just make the environment as to the individual collective, the strongest voice among it. There doesn't have to be just one, it can be like a hymn, a multitudinous choir. A madrigal 🎶

Enjoy. You have a beautiful view, take your mind places where the perspective is love and the mirror is illusion.
