Experiment - Send Out Some Light To The World! Shift the Energy...

a reply to: desert

Hello desert!

Thank you so much for being here.

I keep coming back to the meditation and the thread. It is challenging sometimes to find and maintain balance amidst the chaos, and I really do hope this little thread can be of assistance in a bit of "lightness of being" when the boards are full of the daily intensity of, well, everything.

Peace to you!

Thank you for this.

I went to bed and woke up with a deep sense of urgency or concern. I'm not sure what it pertains to but I've been in prayer off and on for several days. So, I'm with you.

Everywhere I go, I smile. I'm smiling at everyone and people are genuinely startled. That's so sad to me.

Just a simple gesture of friendliness is somehow a shock or an affront?

Anyways, I'm all in for this.

Hey kosmic!!!

So happy to see you here!

I completely relate to this sense of tension - I wake up like that a lot and really need to have "coping skills" to re-energize and transform that energy back into a sense of peace.

There is a sense of intensity right now that is requiring extra effort on my part to overcome (or my poor nervous system gets me all wound up!) The reason for the thread is simply that - a means of shifting the energy away from all that fraught tension and back to balance and calm.

I love the smiling - perhaps people need to be startled with happiness. It is good work to do...

Thanks for making me smile by being here.

One candle. One breath. One heart illumined.
Connected to a million more such lights
Through the simple choice to remember
We are Love.

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine...

Story of TEOT's life: a day late and a buck short!

With all that is going on in this world both here in the USA and around the globe I have been trying to send out good vibes whenever possible. I started around the time of the OP but did not see this thread until today.

So, I think this fits in perfectly and am surprised that nobody has posted it yet. So leave it to TEOT to live in the past! Thanks to Member Berries I like this song still!

AB I don't have much to report on my side.

But I find reading through the responses that you have created a wonderful vortex of light that reaches across our lovely planet.
I have found my self reaching to that place of love and connectedness, when I am in a "tight" situation.
Let us see where we go.
Thank you.

So glad you contributed to the thread. It's so good to know I'm not alone in wanting to seek the light in response to everything that is going on! Thanks for the music!!

Now go out there and...LET IT SHINE!

Gorgeous wolves. That is such a peaceful, wild picture. I love it.

I think what you reported was exactly the whole point of this exercise - namely that you are able to find that "center" place of love and connectedness in the midst of "tight" situations.

Things will happen in the world as they will...we do have the choice as to how we respond to them. Our response, if it can come from that centered place, can ripple out and spark new reactions to our reaction...

Thank YOU for the feedback!

peace,
AB

My photoshop effort for the morning...

I saw this photograph (it's ok to use in art, and I have rights to the "celtic chain") and decided to make a "poster" out of it this morning. It really does look like a "cloud angel!"



I hope the world has some surprise for you today in some unexpected place or unguarded moment that will send a message to your heart of "YES!"

After spending a summer even deeper in the woods than normal this is a wonderful thread to come upon today! I too will add my light to this cause! Returning to nature has recharged my batteries this summer and I am eager to help anyone else that I can in anyway. This world needs more conscious effort put into spreading light and love! Thank you Above Board for this.

My, I just saw that-that was kind of you.

"Mix your mind with the moonbeams at night.
Standing in an open space with quiet eyes, let your mind,
by steady wing-beats of meditation, spread beyond the visible scenes and over the horizon.
Watch the moonbeams spread, not only around the earth, but to the dim stars lying beyond the ether.
Meditate until, in the cool moonbeams of your calmness,
in the eternal region of your spacious mind,
you behold the whole universe as light."

Beautiful imagery, Night. Thank you for posting this!

My photoshop effort for today. I loved this picture - chasing the light - finding joy in the process...

Sounded about right... Thank you again to all who are joining in, in whatever way works for you!

Do you find doing your meditation on this helps you in any way personally? I would love to hear any stories you have about it...

Thanks for hanging out with me!
