Warm greetings all! πŸ™ πŸ’š

Two days ago, and six days before my 50th
birthday on July 31st, on Monday, July 25, 2022, my beloved partner, @kai-sunrise, and I broke up. This hit me so unspeakably hard, like a critical heart strike, kill shot, or knock out. I feel like I'm spinning, or my world is spinning. My system is still in shock. I feel incapacitated, mostly disembodied. The love is so huge, yet it must be this way. Talk about a clichΓ© mid life crisis. From the ashes of my 'old life', I must rise again, recreating everything, from scratch.

It's not just that the most significant relationship with another human of my life is ending what it was, but also most of the people living at The Sanctuary of The Blue Dragon, KaΓ― and myself included, must move by the the end of August. I now have two big chunks of my beloved plants in two locations, here in Seaview, and back at GaiaYoga Gardens, the 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community, deep in the jungles of Lower Puna, on the Eastern tip of the Big Island of Hawai'i, where I lived for three and a half years. KaΓ― and still live together very closely, so this is deeply, incredibly difficult for me.

I have no idea yet where I'm going, or what I'm going to do with all my plants. It feels like my heart, and life, lay eviscerated, scattered all around me. I have so much to figure out, and so quickly. I have to get me functional again as soon as I can.

I've been sobbing, shaking, stretching, jumping, breathing, connecting with, and giving my agonising pain to the earth, doing energy exercises, integral cross-training, meditating, working with high doses of both ganja and Psilocybin mushrooms, and processing through so much overwhelming emotion with emotional and trauma-release healing techniques, and basically doing whatever I possibly can to get back to my center, to heal, to release, to find a place within where I actually can feel good again. I need to get myself functional again so that I can effectively meet all the challenges that have come to my door, all at once.

In my present state, I have basically no inspiration to write posts, and yet I made the commitment to myself to make at least one post on Hive per day, which I have done for just about six months now. So as opposed to sinking into my pain and disappearing from Hive for a while, I made the decision to just be open and honest, and share my pain, experiences and journey here, no matter how much I it hurts or how difficult it is to express.

Even in my heartbroken present state, I am so incredibly grateful to and for Hive, so I'm not going anywhere, but what I write and share may be a bit different from what I usually post here. I ask for your patience and understanding with me. πŸ™ πŸ’š

I have a great deal that I need to heal, and I'm still a mental-emotional mess, but I promise you all here that I will do the best that I possibly am able at any particular moment, and continue to show up. I have so much beauty and many gifts to share with people, and I'm devoting myself to making that so in my life.

Polish_20220714_121551463.jpg

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’š

Oh darling. That's rough. I'm sorry you are experiencing this pain - it's a terrible kind of grief, when you have loved so much. Please don't worry about sharing here - many of us have gone through awful heartache and beared our souls in very visceral ways here, and been held and supported by the hive. Here we are all friends - if writing is cathartic, do that. What might help is to talk to yourself like a dear friend, acknowledging your pain. There there, my love, it's okay. There there. Sometimes we just gotta ride these emotions as part of the grand experience of life. It's not easy, but it's not meant to be. Joy, loss, happiness, grief - all int he guest house of the soul. Be kind to yourself. xx

@riverflows, thank you for your beautiful and kind words. I'm doing my absolute best. No, it's not easy at all. My message is to go deeper with my self love, Aloha Ma, as the Hawaiians say it. That's a big one. I so deeply appreciate you. πŸ™ πŸ’š

You are welcome.

Don't forget when you don't do your best, that's part of the process too. Wailing and crying IS allowed. Wallowing is allowed. All valid.

Self love is everything. From there, everything flows. Connectedness to the world and all that is, instead of these moments we end up in, flailing about.

I'm rather devastated for you as I know how much you love her.

@riverflows, yes, I'm still having moments of crying my guts up, and even when I'm feeling more of less OK for the moment, I'm still brokenhearted, sad, and feeling quite lost. I truly do need to reconnect fully with my God within, and love the me I am now completely, if I want to get through this to a place of joy again.

I keep saying it, but I appreciate you and your wise, kind words so much. Yes, self-love is the foundation from which everything flows. So true. I'm getting that, more and more, deeper and deeper.

I do love her so deeply, apparently unconditionally, because we're still close, just not romantic any longer. This is the first time in my life that I'm not walling someone away who hurt me, but instead I am learning to remain dear, close friends. It hurts. But in staying with it all, not running away. πŸ™πŸ’š

So sorry to hear that @tydynrain it can hurt badly. I so know…
Do give it time to heal, even if you are preparing for it to fight it quickly and trying to heal.
And than you need to move too with all your plants. Such a shame. Hope the earth and nature will give you answers.
Take care, and do share… I’m sure nobody minds. Even if I’m not that long here, I saw a lot of care for others here.

@littlebee4, thank you for your kind words and perspective. Yes, the pain and sadness are crippling at times, but I'm working through it, bit by bit. I'm praying for a good place for my plants, and me. I will be sharing here, as it gives me an outlet to express what I'm experiencing. I'm very grateful for Hive and the people that make it up, which is helping me through this. Thank you again! πŸ™ πŸ’š

That's weird I was thinking about you when I was on the way home 🏠 because I forgot to ask you something and here I found your post. Sorry for what's happening to you and how you feeling right now wish I could help.

If I may someone once told me that everything is temporary happiness and sadness is temporary even success and failure is temporary so whatever we go through everything will pass. Hope it helps take care and keep safe always

I am sorry to hear that things are not looking too brightly for you now. But you know what they say, when one door closes, another open. So, I am sure in due time, all will be well again. Life goes on and we move on - either willingly or be dragged along.

Thank you for your kindness. Yes, everything now is disintegrating, falling apart, dissolving. Now I must recreate myself and my life, and rise from the ashes. My future is pretty unknown at moment, but I'm trusting myself and life more, so I hope and pray something beautiful comes from this. πŸ™ πŸ’š
