The revolution begins within 💜🕊️

In this very moment, you can change the world within you — and well as the world around you — by simply allowing yourself to breathe and feel.

A personal share about my experience of today, 11/6:

This morning, feeling all the feels, I went down to the beach to cleanse my mind and body of the turmoil on the collective. As I was contemplating the mountains and ocean, readying myself for a cold plunge, a woman stepped out from the trees and began playing the Native American flute as she faced the rising sun. Its sound amidst the waves was a balm to my soul, and I found myself able to still my mind, breathe deeply and actually feel the feelings raging within me. I recorded a small snippet of the ocean-and-flute duet, that others could perhaps experience the transmission of peace contained within it:

After she stopped playing, Mount Baker spoke to me — first to convey that their preferred name is “White Walker in the Sky” before helping me deepen in my breathing and feeling — and after a few more breaths, I felt ready to enter the water. Stripping naked, I joyously united with the waves, allowing myself to exultantly enter the Mystery. After my swimming, dressing and climbing the 100 steps back to my car, I distinctly heard the mountain say:

”Let go of what you believe to be true and open to the unknown.”

The following practice has been my guiding light today, shared below in case it in some way helps you.

Gaia is asking us to pause whatever we are doing to just breathe and feel, right now.

Just breathe in the emotion, name it, and breathe out acceptance that you are feeling this way.

It might look something like this:

Breathe in: “I feel ___ (name the emotion).”

Breathe out: “I accept that I feel this way.”

You’re not trying to fix or change anything about how you feel, you’re just giving yourself the gift of feeling and accepting what is arising for you, without buying into any of the stories your brain is telling you.

Stay with it until the big feelings change into other feelings, and keep breathing and feeling until you start to feel a sense of neutrality, or even peace.

If we are able to let go of the stories, this sense of neutrality can happen within just a few minutes.

This simple act will not only bring you more peace, it can also bring peace to those around you. When your inner world changes, the outer world does too.

The revolution begins within.

💜🙏🕊️
