Energy of the Day
Saturday, August 9, 2020 is a day to rethink things. Keep your goals in mind and then re-evaluate as needed. By evening, the desire for success and achievement will shift into a need for progressive change on an impersonal level. With that comes a focus on the future and personal freedom. The ability to wait and exhibit self-control comes more easily today. Courage and integrity are strong energies, but so are inflexibility, pessimism, and callousness. Be aware of how you’re choosing to be and the plans you’re making. Acting out of love is always more powerful than cruelty.

Heal the inside to heal the outside
This meditation is best done after dinner today. Look outside at the world and determine the one thing that hurts your heart the most. Is it racism? People dying alone in hospitals? Environmental disasters?
Once you’ve identified one issue you’d like to work on, it’s time to look within yourself. Where does that issue play out within you?
Here’s how: Identify the emotions that surround that situation for you. Next, think about where you’ve sent out those emotions to others. Send yourself love and forgiveness for being controlled by those emotions. Then send that person/situation love and light until you no longer experience it as feeling heavy.
For example, if your chosen issue is racism, think about where you’ve been unloving to other people. Have you been unkind to family members? Have you sent anger to people who cut you off while driving? Have you hated those who hate you?
Picture a person that has hated you. Send yourself love and forgiveness for allowing that person to control your emotions. When you feel complete, send that person love and light until you can no longer feel their hate. They may still hate, but you don’t have to. This is the first step in healing both yourself and the world.
The only way to heal the outside is to heal the inside. This can be done any time you experience heaviness at the things going on in the world. Thank you for taking a small step to heal the planet. Small steps, taken together, create big change.
