May All Beings Be free from suffering.

I know it has been some time since I have written here. It has not been for a lack of desire. I simply felt without words...

It has been a difficult last two years. I don't need to tell you this. YOU know!

It has been a time to reassess. It has been a time to question EVERYTHING! It has been a time of journeying deeply within, realizing what is important and what is not. It has been a time of simply SO MUCH!

And it is not over...

Just when we might have imagined turning a corner, things change. The world is up in flames. And yet, even in the deepest darkest despair, I can manage to see the seedlings of HOPE.

The arrival of spring and every sunrise invite us all to remember that no matter how dark or desperate things may be, everything changes and growth is always possible.

Today, and every day, let us go deeply into our hearts, and connect with the SOURCE of all LOVE. Let us send that love wherever it is needed.

Here is a simple practice I have been using:

Sit comfortably. Close your eyes. Connect with your breath.
Place the fingertips of your left hand on your heart.
Place your right palm on your thigh, turned up towards the sky.
Imagine DIVINE LIGHT and LOVE pouring into you through the crown of your head.
Let that LOVE and LIGHT envelop you.
Then send that beautiful energy wherever it is most needed today, right now - in this moment...
And then sit in stillness for a few moments. Let go.

Know that you have made a difference.

How could you not? You are magnificent. Made in the imagine of Divine LIGHT and LOVE. Know that you matter always. Together we can be the change we want to see. Let's be that.
