Dear  One,
If your email is like mine, you are probably receiving messages which seem to be intended to cause ripples of fear. I am writing to you tonight to ask you to let the ripples go. Please don’t hold onto them. Fear, no matter how large and noisy, is dense and has no buoyancy. You – we – are buoyant. We are light.



No matter what has gone wrong, our eyes can rejoice in the new day’s rising sun, our hearts in the burbling of our babies, in the victories of the heart and spirit in every way they come to us.

Everything is needed in the healing of the self and of the world: singing, weeping, caring for our friends and even strangers, writing to our Congresspeople, meditating and praying, the making of powerful art, making casseroles, bringing medicine and support to our wounded brothers and sisters.

Rejoice. Sing. Pray. Hold each other closely and send messages of hope in every way possible. Claim the sweetness that will not melt. Name it. Send it into every space around you and listen for its homecoming.

We are the only ones who can
change the world.
This is a message I sent out about a meditation of healing love held on
Thursday, October 2 at 3:00PM EST.

I believe that while we may want to pay attention to ideas that prompt us to take actions we see as useful, we must focus our awareness and our intentions no matter what actions we take or don’t take on the good that we can do and are doing in our everyday lives, and on the light that we carry. We are lanterns. We need to keep our selves clean so we can transmit the light all around us as we go about our daily lives. I know you know this.

I invite you to spread some light and help create a global force-field of blessing and appreciation. If it’s something that you can embrace, please join me wherever you are on Thursday, October 2 at 3:00PM EST to spread our light together.

The light – the Light – that we open our hearts and minds to, that we offer ourselves as lamps to magnify in our own awareness and to share -- has the power to melt opposition, to break up deposits of darkness and to dissolve psychic and emotional debris.

If it makes sense to you, at 3:00PM ( you might want to use the world clock time zone calculator at http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html ) on
Thursday, October 2, no matter what you are doing, please pause to affirm for at least one whole minute that you are grateful for the love , support, and blessings in your life and offer that love and gratitude to the whole world for its healing
however you can imagine doing that.

If you are so inclined, you might use the following:
1.Whether you are sitting or standing, shift your focus to the  love you hold for whomever you love most dearly and most selflessly. Picture that treasured person being with you, embracing and being embraced by you. Let the love well up in
your heart.


2.Imagine that that love is a white light circling and growing brighter in your heart, gradually enveloping your whole being

3.Imagine that immense light now emanating from every pore in your being, flowing out so that the area around you is bright with it. Imagine that it is covering the whole earth and even rising up into the skies, into the heavens, throughout
the galaxy.

4.Imagine that a great teacher or avatar, inspiring poet, scientist, or world leader is standing with you, and that you can feel the strong light of that wonderful being blending with yours.

5.Say to your expanded light self, “Thank you.” Send a message in your heart to the world and everyone in it wishing them peace and well-being.

6.Imagine what the world would be like if everyone could feel that peace.

7.Allow yourself a few minutes or more to return to your normal state of mind – if you must return!

Thank you for all your blessings to all you bless every day merely be being a good person.

Love,
Leiah Bowden


May this day shine in your heart and nourish all that you are.
