Coping With Stress: How We are Coping and What Can We All Do to Better Help Ourselves and Others

My husband and I meditated last night during T’s Pennsylvania rally.  Once again, I saw lightworkers and angels surrounding the perimeter of the rally.  I felt love and compassion for everyone there. Lightworkers and angels were shining light on the darkness, showing people that they have the power to choose.  But we can’t force them to see … it’s clearly their choice.  @lovendures once posted this great quote:  “Our job as healers is not to awaken the sleeping but to create a safe space for them to wake up on their own.” 

But it’s not always easy to “feel the love.”   I’m often angry and feel like there’s no time left to give them that "safe space to wake up on their own."  I don't feel safe right then ... why should they?   Spreading the love sometimes seems wimpy against the forces of what we’re up against – when all I want to do is fight.  Instead I roll my eyes, feeling like a naive, granola eating, flower child chump.  At that moment the most I can do is recognize that ambivalence within myself, accept my duality, and consider not just how I want to feel, but what I want our world to be.  That’s the reason why I am engaging in these meditations. This light energy, the prayers, the love – whatever you choose to call it -- is more powerful than the darkness we are witnessing. 

There is another T campaign rally scheduled today at 5:00 CDT, in case any of you have time to join me in prayer:

Wednesday, 9/30, 5:00 pm (CDT), Duluth, MN -- Duluth Int'l Airport

This is such a neat idea and I’ll bet you feel healed and peaceful afterwards.  What a wonderful way to reach out to these people and surround them with love.

@bluebelle, actually the Rally meditation was @firscat's suggestion.  Last week she requested a prayer of protection and healing at a scheduled T rally in Florida.  You can read some of the suggested prayers from @firstcat, @jeanne-mayell and @frank a few posts back.  I thought it was such a great idea that I decided to do it for other rallies.   

I've had something interesting happen as I meditated during two of the rallies.  When I remote viewed the people who were assembled, my energy was directed to one person who wasn't certain she/he wanted to be there.  I felt an ambivalence, some nervousness.  In one case the person's energy felt dissociative.  I stood next to or behind the person, surrounding them in light.  I found myself saying, "you have a choice.  Just go with your heart."  

I don't know what choice that person made, and I have no control over that.  I just wanted to provide the love, support and light to illuminate their vision.

The following T rallies are scheduled this Friday and Saturday.  If time allows, I invite you to join me in meditation and prayer.  

The rally mediation is a wonderful idea. Since I have so many friends in the Orlando area, and Florida in general (I was raised in South Florida and lived in Orlando) I definitely will join in.

I thought a few Gandhi quotes might help the overall mood and good humor of our somewhat tense group.

You must not loose faith in humanity.  Humanity is like an ocean: if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty – Gandhi

In a gentle way you can shake the world – Mahatma Gandhi

You must be the change you wish to see in the world. - Mahatma Gandhi

First, they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. – Gandhi

love to all
