Walking my son’s dog one morning, a little voice inside me said: “listen to the sound and beat your feet are making with the ground”. I did and found it helped me feel more cheery. I did for the next few days and found it added another dimension to the dog walking.

However, suddenly my father was having another emergency, and could not walk. We got him up to the local hospital in an ambulance where he had to do tests etc. The hospital was full so between the tests, he had to be lying in a hospital bed in the corridor. I was sitting on a chair beside him, while he waited to be admitted fully. This took several hours. Unfortunately for me, I have had several difficult, painful experiences starting from when I was 2 (he was 32 then and at this time 85) so my pattern of overwhelming, upset etc was starting to get triggered then something different happened. That little voice returned and said, “while you are sitting there, let him rest, don’t look at him tap your feet gently and pretend you are walking and hearing your feet with the earth.” Which I did.
Wow, what a difference. Instead of imploding and collapsing I felt the earth’s support and whoever or whatever else that was supporting me I could receive it at that moment and I was calm. For the next several hours while we waited for him to be admitted I didn’t do it all the time but I had a way to keep myself stable so I could be of use in the situation and as well I didn’t need weeks to recover my equilibrium internally again.
I was not alone I had been practically helped from ???? It was real. I hope you can also feel and know you are not alone.
