The Demon Parade

Settle yourself in a comfortable position. Let your attention come to the anchor of your breath. Feel that nourishing breath as it enters your body. Now let it go. One more time, inhale. Let your ribs expand, pulling that breath deep inside. Now let it go. Welcome to a Hit of Hope. I’ve decided we need a new holiday: demon-appreciation day. And we should throw them a parade. Let me be clear. I am not urging you to practice devil worship.

Those pesky demons...I've learned a lot about myself from them...thanks Betsy 🙏😈💛

get rid of the demons😉🌺

The title of this made me chuckle, and I knew this meditation would be an extra good one. TYSM for helping us see our demons (and harpies and kraken and all those creatures hanging on to us like the rhino and the chihuahua) and name them, be with them, try to understand them rather than try to outrun them (impossible, they just ride piggyback on us) or stuff them back under the bed (also impossible, they just ooze back out, often at the worst time possible). It helps me so much to know that other people have those demons too — not that I have any ill wishes towards other folks, but it means that I’m not a bad person, and there’s not something fundamentally wrong with me because that perfectionist demon sometimes makes me take 20 minutes to write a review here because every word must be just. right. Your meditations are like five minute group therapy, and they/YOU help so very much.

This has definitely been an opportunity to hang out with our demons. Invite them for tea. Have a heart to heart. I like the parade idea. Blessings is to you, dear one. Thank you for your continued humor and insight.
