Prayers for Peace Start with You and Me "No matter who you are, wherever you are, you can work to fulfill the peace
that is within your heart. Only when we stop the war within ourselves, when our anger, hatred, bitterness and fear soften and transform will we ourselves be free. How can our world ever really know peace when we remain at war with ourselves?"~Kino MacGregor Last night I was teaching a yoga class, so I created a sweet little playlist that was focused on peace. I started the class with this great quote from one of my teachers, Kino MacGregor. I want you to read the quote a couple of times. Allow the words to really soak in your bones. "How can our world ever really know peace when we remain at war with ourselves?" You may think to yourself, I am not at war with myself. I love who I am. Do you really? Have you ever had a conversation in your head about eating that extra cookie or drinking that extra glass of wine? What about going to workout vs staying in the bed an extra 20 minutes?
How about moving forward with your business plan, but something keeps holding your
back?
I want to achieve this goal, but for some reason I keep sabotaging it...
This is the war going on in your head. I believe we have a responsibility to heal
ourselves if we want the world to heal. And the world needs us to show up right now!
“Eventually, you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is
all there is.” ~ Gary Zukav
Many of us have a current of anxiety running through our veins with the current state of
affairs. How can we not if we are half awake?
I have had moments of panic this week while listening to a story or reading a piece
about what is going on in Ukraine. I have had to stop multiple times to just breathe and
come back to Self-Energy.
This is a practice I have cultivated to keep the wheels on the bus. I also see a therapist
regularly to work on my parts that are at war with each other. It is fascinating to get to
know these parts intimately. Things come out that are shocking and revealing as to how
the subconscious mind is running the show. I work to reprogram the belief and change
the behavior.
There is definitely a secret sauce to healing the subconscious mind. It is powerful and
creates real change.
My intention is to continue to heal all the parts that are at war within thus creating a
ripple effect for past generations as well as future ones. I pray about this every single
day. I surrender to that Power that connects us all. I hope you will join me in this prayer
to heal the world.
I truly believe there is family inherited trauma that shapes who we are. If we don't take
the radical steps to heal this trauma, it will continue to the next generation. It is a moral
responsibility to do the work!
Are you ready? Let's do it!
If this is not your jam, and you can help in other ways. below are a list of resources you
can use to support the families affected by the war. Each one of those soldiers is a
- human being with a family and a mother. My heart just breaks for the everyone in the
- world right now. So I just keep asking, what can I do?
- What can you do? Show Up as Your Best Self! Show Up with Love and Compassion for
- Yourself and Your Neighbors. Do the Work.
- Breathe and Come Back to Self Energy that is always full of Courage and Compassion.
- So much love for each one of you.
