In this time (of the Aquarian Age), 1/3 of the population will commit suicide, 1/3 will go mad, and 1/3 will wake up.  

Yogi Bhajan

Just a few days ago, I reached out to my brother in San Francisco to make sure he and his family were doing okay with the smoke coming from the fires; they were wearing masks. Today, friends from Los Angeles reached out to make sure we were safe. There was a shooting at Chicago’s Mercy Hospital where people died. 

Hopefully you identify with the third of the people who are waking up. Because things are crazy right now. 

If you are, it’s time to let go of judgment and have compassion for the amount of pain and fear that the world is experiencing. It will be your light, strength, and love that will make the difference. It will be the community of light, strength and love that will provide solace to those in despair and confusion. Safety goes beyond the physical. We are in such a spiritual crisis, people are choosing to leave their physical bodies, and some are taking others with them, and it will be in finding ourselves – in our togetherness – that will create the healing and transformation we need to find peace. Plugging into our communities is vital. 

Stop sharing things that divide. Ask yourself, is what I am sharing or saying elevating? We need the elevation. Judgment doesn’t serve to educate and change others for the better. It divides and creates hate. At the end of the day, every person wants to feel acknowledged, and it is from that place that peace and healing can happen. Find a way. Be the light. 

Here is a powerful prayer to recite when it feels like things are falling apart for yourself or for someone else. Recite it for the planet.

Love before me

Love at my left

Light at my left

Light below me
Light unto me
Light in my surroundings
