Just a Little Heat

This summer isn’t just turning up the heat in our yards! The energies this summer are smoldering around us, lighting up for us beliefs that no longer serve us so that we can see them and burn them away. The heat is giving a voice to energies that demand to be spoken and heard. I see the conflicts over masks and vaccinations to mirror a greater spiritual divide in our country between those who will sacrifice and those who will not. Those who need to work on setting firmer boundaries and those who are confident enough not to care. Evidence, all in all, that we are actually a nation, a world, of people that are healing collectively, albeit sloppily. Let us engage now our Loving Witness and not identify with one side or the other but instead see each side as a greater piece of the whole. For who has never responded with fear? Who has never responded with selfishness? Allow yourself to sink into the simple awareness of all that is you and you see both sides are already there. This is a simple practice, an awareness practice of feeling the Oneness within and around you as nothing so very separate after all. Breathe deeply of the love that is there and come out to the other side ready to help those you love find their heart even in the heat of debate.
