Crickets chirping Hello and welcome.

These are challenging times.

We all feel overwhelmed by the way in which our lives are being reshaped and by the speed with which it is happening.

We are all living together through the unfolding of unimaginable change.

Chaos wakes up our need for connection and community.

This pandemic has shown us,

In a very tangible way,

How profoundly connected we all are.

How interdependent we all are.

These connections are visible and invisible.

There are physical networks and there are non-physical networks.

And it's the non-physical network,

Our inner net,

That we will rely on in the days to come.

It is through our inner net that our thoughts and emotions move.

We can communicate fear or love,

Despair or hope,

Selfishness or compassion through this network.

And in this great pause,

These strange days when our world has become quiet,

When our busyness has stopped,

When the roller coaster of planes and trains,

Shopping and socializing,

Moving and buying,

Is silent.

We may not be able to reach out to each other physically,

But we can reach out to each other with our tenderness and compassion,

With our words of kindness and support,

With our gentle listening,

And most of all with our hearts full of goodwill to all.

To Peacebeam is to wish,

Unconditionally and from the deepest part of your being,

Unrestricted good for yourself and for those around you.

It is to bless the world with the unimaginable beauty of your heart and to intend the very best for every being.

At this time,

Let's join and flood our inner net with this gorgeous,

Unconditional goodness.

We will use the four-step Peacebeam method of notice,

Breathe,

Activate and Peacebeam.

And with each step,

The invitation is to relax,

Take these brief moments to be still and join in this love letter to the world.

So if you haven't already,

Settle into a comfortable position and gently close your eyes.

For the next few minutes,

Just follow my voice and let yourself drop into peace.

Step one,

Notice.

Just start to notice how you feel today.

Take a few seconds and check in and hold this question,

How am I today?

And just see what comes back.

Listen to what your mind and your body have to say to you today.

Maybe start to notice your physical body.

How does that feel today?

At this moment?

Just allow your consciousness to scan your body,

Bring your attention to the crown of your head.

Moving down,

Relax your face.

And if you are frowning,

Smile.

Let the hinge of your jaw soften,

Drop your shoulders and let your arms,

Chest and tummy soften and smile with you.

Continuing down your back,

Your buttocks and thighs,

Hear your knees sigh and relax.

And your calves begin to smile in the soft light of your inner gaze.

And finally,

Relax your beautiful feet.

Listen to them stretch and yawn and be spacious.

Gorgeous.

Now let's move to step two,

Breathe.

Your gentle listening attention now moves to your breath.

Continue breathing normally,

But just start to notice the breath moving in and out.

And just listen to its sound for a few moments.

Now gently extend your in-breath and your out-breath,

Just so that you're breathing a little deeper.

Everything very easy,

No strain.

Everything today is for ease,

To relax.

Let your lungs and your diaphragm smile with you.

And just breathe and be.

And now we're going to connect your breath to your heart.

So as you feel some ease start to arrive in your body,

I want you to imagine that your breath is moving in through your nose or mouth and it's going deep into your heart.

And as you breathe out,

It's a breath out of your heart.

And as we continue to imagine this together,

The rhythm of your breath and the rhythm of your heart are greeting each other,

Saying hello.

And just be here for a few moments.

Listening,

Breathing the rhythm of you.

Beautiful.

When we take these few moments to connect our breath to our heart,

We can drop into the unique,

Peaceful rhythm of ourselves.

A place of great gentleness,

A place of great generosity.

This simple act of connecting your breath and your heart can become a wellspring of goodness in your day.

It's a place for all of us to receive the radical generosity of our physical being,

The constant service of our breath and our heart.

Together,

The soundtrack to our lives.

Now let's move to step three,

Activate.

We are living together at this moment of great change,

Great uncertainty.

For the first time we are experiencing an event that will touch every part of all of our lives,

Everywhere in the world.

Many of us may have felt the profound interconnectedness of life,

But perhaps weren't able to really point to it in the momentum of busyness and independence.

And now we're able to know this truth in every moment of these days.

The truth of our interdependence is in plain sight.

For the first time,

We can see in real time that what we do,

Even the small choices that we make,

Really matter.

Those choices affect everybody.

We can clearly see how powerful we all are.

And in these quiet days,

The realization of how powerful we each are,

Of our interconnection and our interdependence,

Will begin to weave a new world,

New futures,

New possibilities.

Our longings for a kinder,

More compassionate society,

For a deeper reverence for our planet and environment,

For more creativity and joyfulness,

Are all possible if we can connect to,

And stay connected to this power.

The world needs you.

We all need each other to hold these beautiful intentions through these difficult days,

To amplify the beauty in our hearts and in the hearts of our families,

Our neighbors,

Our communities and our nations.

You are unique.

There has never been,

And there never will be,

Another you.

Your voice,

Your gaze,

Your thoughts,

And your magnificent soul,

Are present in this world at this time,

Because we need you.

Breathe now,

And feel the light of the goodness,

The aliveness and the grace that is in you.

Dance in your heart.

You enrich this world just by your presence.

Your heart holds a light that is part of all of the love in this world.

So gather the light and love in your heart,

And let it flow now.

See it begin to move like sunlight,

Flooding the inner net of our connections,

Illuminating the hearts of your family,

Your friends,

Your co-workers,

Your neighbors,

And as it moves,

See that light gather strength from the unique goodness and love in every heart that it touches.

See how it amplifies the intentions of good in every being,

Connected as we all are by this invisible network.

Step four,

Peace beam.

Now,

Take a long breath in.

And as we breathe together,

And with the image of this illuminated inner net suffused with the sunlight of our hearts,

Let's intend from the very center of our beings,

Unconditional good for all,

For the ones we know and love,

And for the ones that we don't.

For all of those working at the front lines,

For those who are ill or grieving,

For those who are in fear or need,

For every living being on this planet,

For every one of us.

May we be blessed with grace,

With courage,

And with peace.

Thank you for lending your heart today to light up our inner net.

Have a beautiful day.

Thank you.

Thank you.
