This song addresses the bravery it takes sometimes, to go deep into the work we need to do for our own healing. It’s about being afraid to surrender, and asking to be held in love. I hope it may be of service to you if you ever need some soothing and support in “diving in.”

Keep my lessons gentle

Keep my lessons gentle

I need to be held by you

I need to be held by you

I want to surrender

I want to surrender

But I’m afraid to let go

I’m afraid to let go

So hold me as I dive in

Hold me as I dive in

And keep my lessons gentle,

Keep my lessons gentle

Listen to the song-sketch here.
