Chariklo Sextile Chiron
There is an available link between your own woundedness and a real capacity to hold others' pain with dignity, but it develops by being used. When you take the opening, what you have suffered becomes the very thing that lets you offer a steady, grace-filled container to others in pain. It can grow into healing, counseling, or simply a more steadying way of being with the hurting. Reach for it: let your own wound teach you how to hold space, offer that steadiness where it is needed, and the gift deepens each time you act on it.
Lean in — Let your own wound teach you how to hold space for others.
Watch for — Leave the gift idle because it means facing the wound.
