From Champignyatta,
I'm Colleen Thomas.
This is Daily Magic for Peace.
Today we will send deep rest to those on the front lines.
Welcome to the circle.
So today all you need is a blanket.
As we settle in for our time together today,
Notice how your body is,
Notice how your spirit is,
Notice how your mind is.
Maybe feel into your fingers,
Maybe feel into your skin.
In fact,
That's how we're going to begin our circle together today,
By developing a felt sense of our skin.
Notice the weight of your clothes on your body,
The texture of your clothes against your skin.
What's the temperature around you in the air?
Just creating a welcoming attitude toward everything that your skin is feeling in this moment.
And we'll transition to our second grounding exercise today,
Which is just really grounding.
Just effortlessly connecting with the earth beneath you,
Finding your grounding.
If you established it earlier today,
Find it again.
And if you haven't thought about it,
Find that connection to the earth beneath you.
And with that,
If you have gratitude,
You'd like to offer the earth beneath you,
Prayers you'd like to offer the earth beneath you,
This is a perfect time for that.
And when you feel like you've connected,
Go ahead and let that energy flow up your grounding cord or your root.
Allow it to flow up and into your chakra system,
Into that earth star chakra beneath you,
And your first chakra at the base of your spine,
The second chakra at your belly,
The third chakra at your solar plexus,
And right on up into the heart.
We're gonna focus on the heart chakra for a few minutes now.
Just letting that earth energy come up and fill your heart.
Let it release anything out that you don't need from your heart space.
Allow that beautiful fourth chakra,
That beautiful heart chakra to enliven and to brighten and to glow with that beautiful love that is yours.
Just inherently your unique love,
The beacon of love that you are in this planet,
In this moment.
Just allow it to open and to expand and to brighten and to shine so that all of us here in circle with you can see it.
And just allow that heart chakra energy to glow and radiate out,
Releasing anything you don't need,
Filling your body,
Your cells,
Your aura with that beautiful love coming from your fourth chakra.
Filling you up,
Getting a sense of your bubble space,
Letting it fill right into your bubble space,
Your aura right around you.
And while you're there,
Thinking about your aura,
Maybe see if it's the shape you want it to be.
Do you wanna adjust it?
Do you wanna make sure there's a boundary around it?
Do you wanna put up any protection?
Do you wanna set it up any specific way?
Whatever you'd like to do with that,
Go ahead and do that now while that beautiful heart energy is filling that space.
This is your space.
You can make it be exactly what you want it to be.
Beautiful.
And the magic I would like to invite you into today is to take that blanket or imagine a blanket and come with me on a journey of sending deep rest,
Prayers and magic for deep rest to those on the front lines in Ukraine.
So when I say those words,
Notice what comes to mind.
If you've been seeing news clips or news stories or hearing audio about the war or seeing social media posts about soldiers on the front lines,
Just bring any of that to mind or let it float into focus and see what you see and notice what you notice.
Maybe you've seen pictures or images of soldiers,
Of service people sleeping on the front line.
Think about what you've seen.
And now I'd like you to just join me in sending the magic that these people who are putting their lives at risk every day on the front lines,
A lot of these people were never actually in the military.
They just came out of their regular lives sometime in the past year and they have gone to the front lines to fight for their country.
This may be something you have done in your life.
It may be something you can only imagine.
But I invite you to join me in imagining each one of these people,
The work that they do,
The family they're separated from,
The cause they are fighting for,
The trauma that they are surrounded by,
Trying to just rest their body and get a good night's sleep to be able to continue from day to day to day,
To continue to do that work,
That work that they feel so called to do and that work that so many people are relying on them to do.
I invite you to join me.
We might open your palms out if that feels appropriate in this moment to you.
I'm feeling it in my heart right now,
This incredible love and devotion and wishing,
This deep wishing in my heart that's coming out through my palms as I sit here speaking with you.
Just coming out and wishing them warmth and calm and protection and love and everything that they need to get a good night's sleep every night,
To feel safe,
To be safe,
To find a way to deal with the trauma,
To find a way to deal with the situation,
To find a way to get away every now and then and be with their family if that's even possible,
Just sending them the love that they need.
And I feel the weight and the power of the ancestors.
I feel it in this moment with you.
And I thank them for sending their wisdom and their guidance.
It's a very powerful thing that's happening right now on the planet with this war.
I invite you,
If you feel called,
Join me in sending magic to those on the front lines that they may have moments of deep rest between the day-to-day,
Between the trauma,
Between the incredible intensity of fighting a war.
Sending that out,
Letting that magic go,
Knowing that it's not coming from us,
It's coming through us,
And just trusting it to go exactly where it's needed.
Just a very,
Very powerful prayer,
A very,
Very potent bit of magic we're sending today,
And just letting that release and go out,
Trusting it'll go exactly where it needs to go.
I'm so grateful to you for being in circle with me and sending this magic.
May your rest be deep and rich,
And may you continue to get the nurturance and the support that you need so that you can be an advocate on the sidelines.
May it be so.
Thank you so much for being here 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.
And I hope you join us again next time.
Please consider inviting a friend.
Magic works best when coupled with action.
There are many ways to support Ukraine besides donating money.
