Inner Peace Guided Meditation for the Whole Wide World ~ Sunday November 3 2023

Inner Peace Guided Meditation for the Whole Wide World

Group Meditation 7 pm PST, 8 pm MST, 9 pm CST, 10 pm EST

Here is another Inner Peace Meditation for our Sunday evening gathering.  This is such good spiritual practice as well as a wonderful blessing for us and our families and friends.  In general, we don’t always know how we are benefitting the World.  But we do know there are frequencies beyond the realm of Space and Time that influence and impact this world.  So, we do our best to gather on Sunday evening and move into that place of Inner Peace.  Our intention is for that Peace to fill our hearts and minds, our whole cellular structure, and our entire energetic field.

As we know, the “civilized” world seems to be less and less civilized every day.  Much of the news seems to be more out of balance.  Church people I have known for several years are busy “hating” other people and looking forward to violence in the streets.  They don’t see any discrepancy between their behavior and their religious beliefs! 

We have noticed we are living in very challenging and potentially dangerous times.  And every day we have an opportunity to embody Peace, to create the kind of world we want to live in with our words, our actions, and our spiritual practices.   

When we generate “hatred” or encourage violence, we are sabotaging our own health and well-being.  When we cultivate hate or focus on violence we are pushing our own physical and emotional systems into “fight, flight, or freeze”.  We are causing cortisol, our body’s main stress hormone, to surge through our system.  This also means that our digestive system and our immune system are shutting down.  Our energy is going to our muscles so we will be ready to run away from danger or stand and fight!  If we go through day after day of feeling hatred or anger, our entire physiology is compromised.  We do not think as well or make good decisions.  We are exhausting our bodies, our hearts, and our minds.  This is tragic!

We all know that life is better and communities are stronger when we work together.  When we fight and blame and refuse to listen to each other, everyone suffers.  We know this and we often forget.  This is why every spiritual tradition teaches compassion, lovingkindness, and forgiveness.  When the world is falling apart all around us, we need the qualities of our heart for healing.  As Rumi said, many, many years ago …

 

Christ is the population of the world,

and every object as well.

There is no room for hypocrisy.

Why use bitter soup for healing,

when sweet water is everywhere?

 

Thank You for showing up, and for all the good you do in this crazy, wobbly world every day.  Take really good care of yourself this week and,

Remember to Breathe …
