After a strong 11-minute breath practice this morning, this was the song that came up in my playlist. I used it to hold space for all whom I love and need my love. I invite you to hold your heart. Allow it to open. During the song, place a loved one right there in its center. Whisper: I love you. (Name), I love you. "Loving Kindness" by Ashana https://open.spotify.com/track/70176a2Uffh4DkxyKktS8C?si=19016ea604e6477c

This came across one of my feeds. In working with Pratipaksha Bhavanam, how can we help our soul cultivate the opposite?

Hey everyone! Did you know I host a distance Reiki "circle" on Tuesdays 8 am EST? There's no need to log-in to anything. You are just "energetically" present during the session. If this feels a little strange, think of it basically as a prayer sit, and use it as an opportunity for meditation or contemplative prayer. (At the hospice center I volunteer for we call Reiki "the prayer we do." You can find a link to my Reiki classroom below where you can access a playlist and preparation instructions, as well as send me any prayer intentions. I write them down and I also gather prayer cards and photos around me. You can send me them, too! Please know, I always show up. Every Tuesday at 8 am. for 20 minutes or longer. This practice is important to me and has given me much to be grateful for. So sit with me. Or practice the concentric breathing I just gave you. And if you can't join, just lay a hand on your heart and register your prayerful intention. 🙏 Jackie https://www.skool.com/rawr-reiki-writing-9327/classroom/9391e499?md=4d94d146fe4a439da6c709141cf46b0a

Like a stone dropped in the river and creates ripples in all directions, the One becomes the many!...those ripples can intersect and create new ripples and get fooled or fool other ripples into assuming or give the illusion of the source of the initial drop that created the original ripple...it becomes an endless search by primary & secondary ripples of seeking the original ripple...an intelligent one shouts, all ripples are the river 🤔, yes true, but the thought of the cycle ⭕️ of who created the river and the ripples or the stone or even where the stone came from, spirals 🌀...

Forgiveness is not erasure. It's presence. A full-bodied return to love. This was the affirmation from my RAWR substack in 2025. I still believe what I wrote.
