This is so random but Ive always been made fun of for how quite and ‘slow’ I am in the mornings by partners and family. Its just so profoundly comforting to see how common it is and watching it be accepted
The life you've created for yourself is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, from your friendships, to the practices you do. You are art in human form.
so beautiful at 4:48 i noticed how hitomi has her palms turned up (receiving) and D has her palms turned down (grounding), such harmony and wholeness in each other's presence. much love xoxo
Hitomi, could you make a video on how to establish affectionate friendships? I have friends and even though we're deeply connected there no physical affection and being that my love language is physical touch that makes me kinda sad. I wish I could express that without it being awkward. Did you ever have a convo with your friends about being physically close or it just happens that way?
me too! something that I've been trying to do more of is just simply ask for it, "can I have a hug?". And I'd love to eventually just ask my friends in conversation one day, "how do you feel about physical closeness like cuddling and hand holding? It makes me feel closer to people and makes me feel happy so it would mean a lot to me if we could do more things like that". What do you imagine yourself doing? :)
I struggle with physical connection but my best friend loves it. We recently had a conversation about it; they brought up how they like physical affection, we spoke about how it makes me feel, and both recognized that it would be nice to work bringing about more physical connection in ways that are comfortable for the both of us. I would say that if your connections with your friends are deep and honest, they will be happy to talk with you about this. Why not try bringing it up ❤
I’m going through some brutal seasonal depression right now and your videos always bring me so much peace 🤍thank you so much for that, I love your energy xx
I am ALL for this. The first 2 hours of my day are for reading, drinking tea, puttering around and just being and collecting myself before I get out into the world. No talking, no emails, no phone calls before 10 unless it is an emergency. Life is short, enjoy as much of it as you can.
Your videos prove to me that we are all going through similar experiences as a collective group of human beings. When ever you bring something up I find that I am always going through a similar situation and it amazes me how in sync we can all be without knowing each other. You are able to communicate to the collective what lessons you are learning. We are able to learn from you what our lessons are and that’s why we are drawn to you
Your friendship is so lovely. My best friend and I cuddle .. I love her braiding my hair.. walks.. I do her make up.. same stuff we did at 10 years old .. to our 30s now.
your presence reminds me i'm home! we're all home. even in our funny introverted ways. like, seeing others in their slowness and acting so tenderly, affirms/gives a little hug to those qualities in me, that i sometimes feel a bit of an odd sock for. hitomi, and all of us here, it's like a lil soul fam. i feel it
So good to see you back on here! in this weird world made of technological interconnections! Always speaking the truth earth sister ! staying grounded no matter what grant us deepness and intensity; an everyday retreat from the chaos and superficiality outside us x
wowow! I'm definitely the kind of person who needs silence in the morning. When I was living at home my dad would constantly be playing music on speaker at 4-5am and it really agitated me. I agree that being able to be silent with someone without it being awkward or uncomfortable is a form of intimacy. I'd love to see more content about how you formed such intimate friendships!
💕 that practice of daily creativity resonates, I hold creative sunrise sessions for myself too twice a week, I really loved hearing your intention & seeing you anchor 💕
your videos have been becoming part of my morning routine, bringing me so much calm and connection and reminding me that there are people out there that are like me while having to be around my family❤️🌿
I'm currently in bed with a hot pad processing my next moon cycle that should start soon. Watching your videos always bring me so much peace and this is exactly what I needed. Je t'aime Hitomi :) Lots of love from Canada
Watching your videos makes me feel so emotional because connectedness is such a challenge for me (childhood traumas etc) watching you be so intimate in your friendships is truly heart warming
I’ve always had this ignorant belief that we’d be good friends- but everytime I watch a new video of yours, that belief becomes less and less ignorance based haha Warmth & love to you!
Hi Hitomi, In order to get the benefits of the herbs when you infuse them, you should cover the cup for 6-7 minutes. Then you can enjoy a powerful tea :) Hug of light✨ Giulia
I love my mornings and easing into the day with intention is so important to me. This was so relatable, validating and inspiring, thank you for sharing always 💚
thanks so much for sharing thredup! I prefer sustainable shopping and haven't really bought any clothes this season-this is literally just what I needed! ✨
Thanks for being you! After several years of sitting on the other side of the screen, I feel like we are friends now :) started watching when I was 15 - 16yrs and I made it to 24 years old just last week 🖤🕯️
Your drawings are really beautiful, would love to see more of your art practise! Thank you for inspiring us to slow down & to invest more energy into our creativity
