Fully Alive Spiritual Practice for March 27

Palliative care physician Kathryn Mannix once told a story about exploring emotions, one layer at a time. She would gently ask, "What's underneath that sadness?" and let the answer reveal itself.

If you're feeling off, maybe just take a moment to check in with yourself. You don't have to have all the answers - sometimes just noticing what's there is enough. Be curious, not critical, and let things unfold at their own pace.

(From Kate Bowler's Lenten devotional.)
