We all know someone who, right now, is faced with incredible challenges. Just today I learned that a client of mine is suffering from mental illness, more than one friend is struggling with the diagnosis of learning disability for their child, one friend may need surgery, another friend is suddenly a single parent for two months and yet another dear friend found out that his job as he knows it will change in less than three weeks and might possibly be gone. At my house, my just 10 year old son will be taking his black belt test is in less than two weeks and daily I am feel like I am falling apart under the pressure!
So what can we do? Obviously we can’t make disabilities or disease go away, bring about jobs or even take the pain of 500 jumping jacks away. We can however try love!
We can love each other through the process. We can and should hold each other in a space of love…visualizing each other surrounded and supported by love that has no boundries, no limits, where healing from disease or disability is possible, where physical pain is managable and emotional pain is minimal, where each of us are living and working in a place that is congruent with our true selves and where our basic needs are met.
Then when we are done with that, we should hold ourselves in that same space of love, connected to our higher power, grounded and feeling our hearts, seeing ourselves surrounded by the love of the universe and its limitless possibilities! Just feeling that as I write takes the fear, doubt, pain and stress out of my own heart. Together we can change how the world around us feels just by seeing love, sending love, feeling love and believing in the power of love.
Can’t hurt can it???
