Hello Reader,
How are you all doing out there? I know many of us are taking a one-day-at-a-time approach and doing the best we can to keep our heads held high amid the unfathomable realities we are witnessing across the United States. You are not alone.
"We are all in this together." Originally for "High School Musical," according to my Millennial Daughter.
That saying began in 2020 during Covid, and it was true then and even more true and poignant now.
But now we exactly know WHO we are in this together, and with whom we are aligned at the core level of love and equality for all beings. There is no acceptance of anyone who does not STAND AGAINST the devolution of basic human rights for all people. And yet, the fight takes a lot of us, and we must also acknowledge the time for rest.
Beginning tomorrow, I am offering a donation-based virtual meditation group. This group is for those of us who need an hour to reset, plug into our own nervous system and vibration, breathe, and commune with aligned people. We won't do any processing here; we're simply taking a real break from it all to go within.
Over the next several weeks, we will practice Metta Meditation (LovingKindness). I once did this as an eight-week workshop and thought this would be a good place to slowly unfold into sending love to ourselves and others as an act of compassion.
The resistance lies in taking time to rest, which goes against the norms of most Western societies. But we are resting not to retreat, but recharge and move into our chosen space of activism.
The Details:
"As we are together praying for peace, let us be truly with each other.
Let us pay attention to our breathing.
Let us be relaxed in our bodies and our minds.
Let us be at peace with our bodies and our minds.
Let us return to ourselves and become ourselves wholly.
Let us maintain a half-smile on our faces.
Let us be aware of the source of being common to us all and all living things.
Evoking the presence of the Great Compassion, let us fill our hearts with our compassion towards ourselves and towards all living beings.
Let us pray that all living beings realize that they are all brothers and sisters, all nourished from the same source of life.
Letus pray that we ourselves cease to be the cause of suffering to each other.
Let us plead with ourselves to live in a way which will not deprive other beings of wair water, food, shelter, or the chance to live.
With humility, with awareness of the existence of life, and the sufferings that are going on around us, let us pray for the establishment of peace in our hearts and on earth. Amen"
Thich Nhat Hanh.
In a world that demands our constant attention and productivity, choosing to be still, quiet, and regulated is a radical act of sovereignty.
You don't have to carry the weight of the collective alone. Let’s sit together and remember our own resonance.
In gratitude and resistance,
SPECIAL EVENT
I'm excited about this special collaboration with Amanda Lux of Elevation Hive in Olympia. She is not only a seasoned healer, guide, and dreamworker but also a wonderful human. Some of you know her already and have attended events at her magical dome in Olympia. For those of you who don't know, this is a spectacular opportunity to connect with more people aligned in heart and spirit.
This is an intentional three-hour event that incorporates dream journey work with sound healing. Our journey is built around unfolding the role we will play as sacred activism at the capacity of our nervous system. Amanda will lead us through three different dream journeys, while I will support that dream work with sound that invokes the "theta" brainwave state or "dreamstate."
If you haven't done dream journey work before, that's okay. This is still for you and may offer a potent way to work with your intuition and healing in the subconscious realm.
You can learn more about Amanda and this event on my website using the link above.
