From Shame Piñata,
I'm Colleen Thomas.
This is Daily Magic for Peace.
Today,
We will connect to the numinous to amplify the prayers we are sending.
Welcome to the circle.
It's so good to have you here with us today.
Welcome to the circle where we are all together beyond space and time in the land of intention.
The way we hold the circle here is that if you're listening to this podcast,
You are in the circle.
And as we sit in the circle together today,
I invite you to look around in your mind's eye and see who's here with you.
Who else is here with you in circle with their bright shining heart and their love and their presence?
Our first grounding exercise today will be tapping.
Tapping is a technique that can help us regulate our nervous system and calm our bodies down.
So this is an invitation to find the karate chop point on the back of your hand,
The outside of your hand,
Just a little ways down from your pinky finger.
If you feel around,
You might find sort of a sore spot,
Or you might imagine where you would hit a piece of wood if you gave it a big karate chop.
And I invite you to lightly tap the two karate chop points of the outside of your hands together.
Just lightly tapping.
And breathing while you tap.
The tapping releases energy.
And the breathing moves the energy.
Now let's switch it up and tap on the temples.
Again,
Very gently.
Keep breathing.
And one more spot just on the crown of your head.
Find a nice spot that feels like it wants to be tapped on the top of your head.
Just real gently.
Breathing,
Breathing.
There's a lot of resources online about tapping,
So I encourage you to learn more if this is an intriguing concept to you.
And I'm curious now if you just sit still for a moment and notice how your body might feel a little different.
And now we're going to return to the concept of the bubble space or the aura.
So begin to feel around.
See if there is a bubble around you,
If you'd like to have a bubble around you,
What size you might like that bubble to be.
And allow that to be created in your mind's eye until you feel it around you energetically,
This space,
This bubble space that is yours,
Totally yours.
It can be any color,
It can be any scent,
It can be any size,
And you can put up any kind of protection you might want on the outside of it.
You could imagine it as a mirror,
Mirrored on the outside to reflect out anything that's projected toward you.
You can put a picket fence up,
You can surround it with roses.
You can picture anything that feels protective to you,
Protective and safe to you.
And I invite you to take a breath.
So today in circle,
We don't have any items.
We don't have a bowl of water or a bowl of salt or a feather or a candle or a picture.
We only have our hearts.
And I invite you,
If it feels good to you,
To put a hand on your heart or just imagine your hand is on your heart.
And the invitation today is to connect to the numinous,
By which I mean any kind of,
Anything in life that brings you wonder or joy or awe.
It might be a deity.
It might be a place in nature.
It might be your ancestors.
It might be the concept of being on this rock in the middle of this humongous universe we live in.
Anything that for you is wondrous,
Connecting to this thing,
This being,
And allow it to amplify the prayers we're sending to Ukraine.
And today is just an invitation to maybe,
If you're using your hands,
Maybe to open your hands and allow your prayer to fill your hands,
To drift out of your heart and to fill into your hands the prayers and the hopes and the love that you have that you're sending,
The compassion that you're sending,
The concern that you're sending,
The ways you are holding and witnessing what's been happening in Ukraine.
Anything in your heart for Ukraine,
Any of your wishes.
Maybe let those flow into your hands.
And now maybe hold up your hands,
Hold out your hands and connect to this numinous force,
To this goddess or god or nature spirit or universe or however it comes to you and ask this helper,
This numinous helper to magnify your prayers,
Amplify them and carry them exactly where they're needed.
Our prayers,
Our wishes,
Our hopes know exactly where to go and just see it happening now,
Connecting from your heart into your hands and expanding out,
Expanding out and magnifying in such a beautiful way,
Such a beautiful way and going exactly where it's needed.
Offering our blessings,
Allowing them to be amplified.
And the last step is just to let go and release and trust and maybe coming back to our hearts with so much gratitude for the love that we have in our hearts,
The concern,
The compassion that we're born with,
Which is really amazing.
May it be so.
May it be so.
Thank you so much for being with us today.
Your presence,
Your energy and your heart make all the difference in healing our world.
Remember to breathe today,
Breathe and expand.
Breathe and breathe.
And now let's take a moment to thank you for your support and your support for your healing and your healing.
And now let's take a moment to thank you for your support and your healing.
And I hope you join us again next time and please consider inviting a friend.
That's it for Daily Magic for Peace.
