Send Love Instead
“If God is in all things, all things may be lifted to that vision of the Divine and are transformed by and through the lifting. When you see with the eyes the Christ, you are attending to the world before you in its Divine potential.” Paul Selig, The Book of Mastery
Take a breath. I know, your heart hurts. Your body may be achy, your mind distracted. You are okay. You are in the midst of the grieving process. We witness so many tragic events in our neighborhoods and around the world each day. We are in a collective state of grief. Take another breath.
When feeling dismay and grief, our tendency can be to hide out and isolate. Give yourself the time for sorrow and tears. Feel the emotions with gentle tenderness. When you are ready, take a step out into the world. Your loving vibration is needed more than ever.
Being engaged can lift us up. Take small steps. Perhaps connect with your church, your bridge group or book group. Call a friend and meet for coffee. Take a class at the gym. Take a walk out in nature. Your energy, your compassion, your quiet whispers of prayers and hope are all needed in the world. Activist, filmmaker and founder of the Revolutionary Love Project, Valarie Kaur, reminds us, “Revolutions do not happen only in grand moments in public view but also in small pockets of people coming together to inhabit a new way of being. We birth the beloved community by becoming the beloved community.”
Be gentle. Practice compassion. Having compassion for ourselves and others opens us to love and be loved. Compassion awakens love in us. Love is the healing power beyond judgment and blame. There is always a choice.
Practice visualizing what you want rather than what you don’t want. Ask each day “What is mine to do to make the world a better place?” Release judgment and anger and send love instead. When we send love we raise the vibration for everyone.
Speak prayers of faith and hope and gratitude. Speak this attunement aloud whenever you are feeling separate, angry, or judgmental. Speak it aloud for yourself when you are feeling fearful.
