I happened across this wonderful artwork of a bubble lady:

which I bought. It makes me feel happy when I wear it, thinking of your post. Thank you for sharing your understanding. x o

Thanks for the reminder, Hiro! And what a wonderful way to deal with feelings of being “stuck”–creative play! Maybe if we all played a little more, we wouldn’t feel so stuck!

Change is inevitable, right?

Your words INSPIRE, as always.

“I told him that first, it was just fun, and second, that bubbles can remind us that nothing hard lasts forever. They are here, then they pop.”

Wow, Liz, that’s some powerful parenting!

Ah, what a wonderful intentional way to create more of the good energy we want. I need more exercises like this in my life.

Hiro,

I just wanted to let you know that the day after I read this my son was having one of those terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad mornings. There was frustration about getting dressed, grumbling during breakfast, and actual tears while his dad checked his math homework and suggested that some of the problems needed to be re-worked.
It was no fun and I hated to send him off for the day in such a state. Then I remembered the bubbles…
Well luckily we have a bottle handy so while we were brushing teeth (and all the while he was insisting that he was NOT going to school today…) I said I understood that he was having a really hard morning, and maybe we could do something about it.
He was curious, but skeptical that ANYTHING would help. I had him stand near the door and just started blowing bubbles all around him. Needless to say, his mood shifted immediately. He started blowing them higher, catching them on his fingers and popping them. It was fun while it lasted, and then it was time to go to school.
While we were driving to school he asked me why I’d done that. I told him that first, it was just fun, and second, that bubbles can remind us that nothing hard lasts forever. They are here, then they pop.
I can’t say the bubbles made him thrilled to be going to school, but I’m certain that his frame of mind was significantly better!
Thanks for another lovely post!

Oh this is wonderful. Exactly what I needed a reminder of as I sit here, so stuck, and feeling like I haven’t made progress on a single pattern in years.

I think I’m just going to keep re-reading this until it sinks in.

Havi keeps mentioning you, and sometimes I wander over; I’m so glad I did today! I needed this, and I thank you. I am stuck in a pile of stuckness, and one small thing could let go, and maybe help.

I always have bubbles, and I’m going to go play. Now.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Oh Hiro! I love this post! I keep bubbles around the house always because they are absolutely irresistible to people of all ages. Not only do they shift the energy in people or situations, but I have also used them to clear the energy in a room after an argument or an illnesses. (And during an illness as well.) Thanks for sharing this great tool with so many! xoxox

Long after the Pustefix bubble bear lost a little of its magic for my children, I find it still has its place on my kitchen shelf. Hmmmm–perhaps I was buying it for me all along!

Bubbles!

I have quite a few bubble wands and solutions to hand because my cats LOVE them. Love to watch and bat and pounce.

Yet another demonstration that cats really do know a great deal about the nature of the universe ;)

Thank you for this simple yet powerful de-funkifying practice Hiro!
