It’s difficult to go about your day and life when the world around you is collapsing. Hell, it feels silly for me to even post this when there is so much pain, hatred, dying. When there seems to be this endless stream of darkness, destruction, disconnect. How can we possibly find joy when there are people fleeing their country out of fear, losing their homes & families, when the earth is burning and our animals are dying b/c of the choices we as humans make? It’s devastating on every level - emotionally, mentally, physically, even existentially - all of us are affected by it whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. It is changing the structures of our bones, our DNA. But we cannot live in a state of continual helplessness, hopelessness, and especially ignorance, this only fuels the mental health crisis we are in. We cannot live in a state of division, this only fuels the ideology of separation that we are not one human race and that one side is better than another. That “out of sight out of mind” mentality.

What can we do? We can recognize how fortunate we are to have access to clean water, clothing, & comfort. We can recognize our privilege, our joys, our rights that so many are not granted. We can recognize that there is power in our prayers, our hands, and we can make a difference in our small corners of the world. That we still have strength in our hearts and when we spread kindness it touches far and wide. When we spread love it touches hearts across borders and bloodlines. When we visualize a better future, the future becomes better because we hold ourselves accountable for that vision to be a standard of how our world should be. So try to think thoughts that are helpful and energetically charged for the good of all. Speak words that are kind and educational. Tell people you can support them or ask for support.

Places your hands over your heart, imagine a golden light like the sun emanating out of your heart into the hearts of all humanity, especially those suffering badly. See their hearts, their minds, their souls, their spirits be engulfed with this radiant healing light. It will touch them, it will inspire joy, even if only momentarily.
