Music, Videos, Poetry that Gets Us Through

I am sharing a  Global Coherence Initiative "Care Focus : Heart warmth and gratitude :

1.  Focus your attention in the area of your heart. Imagine your breath is flowing in and out of your heart or chest area. As you breathe in, charge the energy of your breath with genuine heartfelt love. Then radiate this love out in the form of genuine gratitude. (Doing this raises the vibration of your spirit and helps to bring heart, mind, emotions and body into calm, coherent alignment and focus. Know that your feelings in meditations or while radiating love are going to be stronger and weaker at different times through the month. This is natural. Don’t judge yourself when your energy varies. It’s normal; it’s okay. Just have a genuine attitude when your energy is low and know that your love still counts.) 2.  Now, radiate gratitude to all people who are helping to reduce suffering and giving comfort as they can to others in need. 3.  Next, imagine more and more people awakening to the powerful benefits of radiating gratitude and compassionate care for lifting their spirit and connecting with their heart. 4.  Let’s close by radiating compassionate care to all who are living in survival mode and suffering from war, natural disasters, hunger, abuse, fear, or hopelessness. Know that even when things look bleak, radiating our individual and collective care and compassion is making a significant difference.

I can't remember how I got this mailing list for these people... but I have enjoyed learning about them and it comforts me to know so many of us are actively doing all we can to bring in the Light and a better world for all.

"Welcome to the Global Coherence Initiative’s November 8, 2022 Full Moon (11:02 GMT/​UTC) Synchronized Care Focus. In order for GCI members around the world to participate at a convenient time, we have chosen 4 a.m., 12 p.m. (noon), and 8 p.m. Pacific Time (GMT/UTC minus 8 hours) when GCI members in the Global Coherence App* can do the Care Focus together.* Thank you for being with us.

Let’s start with a warmhearted appreciation for everyone participating in this Care Focus, as this increases the effectiveness of our compassionate care."
