‘Cure sometimes, treat often, comfort always.’
Hippocrates.
Comfort is a soft place. It is being held by someone you trust, with their arms, their empathy or their gaze. Comfort is being understood and cared for. It is curling up on a large sofa surrounded by cushions. Comfort is a healing touch. It soothes and caresses the physical body which calms the emotions.
Comfort is the pit stop of life; a place of recovery and repair. Without comfort we walk through our life overloaded with baggage. We stuff or rucksacks full of grief and collect bags of worry and guilt along the way.
A soft place allows us to lay down; to rest our bodies and lay down our burdens. Identify your soft place. It may be a person, a room, a chair, a bed. You will recognise your soft place when you feel the tension release from your body. When your breathing is calm and even and when a feeling of well being spreads through you.
Being in your soft place is like coming home, connecting to your self.
Value your soft place and introduce more of them into your life.
Using your soft place is a reminder that you care for your self.
Let your self know that you are comfort–able.
