From Shane Pinata,
I'm Colleen Thomas.
This is Daily Magic for Peace.
Today,
We will visualize an end to Russian aggression.
Welcome to the circle.
So today,
All you need,
If you have one,
Is a red candle.
It's totally fine to picture one if you don't have one.
As we gather together today,
I invite you to find your seat in the circle and join me in taking a breath.
Maybe now take a second to notice how you feel.
In this moment.
In this space.
Maybe placing a hand somewhere on your body,
Maybe on your heart,
And just noticing how do I feel right now.
What's my energy level?
Am I hungry?
Can I see three different things?
Can I hear three different things?
How am I arriving in circle today?
And I hope now you are a little more present in the moment,
In your space,
And simultaneously in circle with all of us.
Today,
We're going to work with protection energy.
So that starts with our bodies.
So what I'd love to invite you to do is to find your grounding.
Notice what you are standing,
Sitting,
Or lying on,
And notice how that thing is connected to the center of the earth.
Dropping down,
Greeting Mother Earth beneath you,
Greeting the spirits of the land you're on,
Honoring the indigenous peoples who might have lived there before you,
And honoring your own indigenous ancestors and the land that your people come from,
If you know where that is.
Allowing a strong and true connection to ground you in this moment.
And know that as you're doing this,
All of us are doing this around the world,
Wherever we listen.
This podcast is actually listened to in 80 countries.
So there's potentially people right now in something like 80 countries grounding into the earth,
Finding your connection,
Finding your center.
And now let's turn our attention to our bubble space,
Our aura,
The energy just around us,
Maybe two or three feet on each side of our body,
Imagining a very perfect shape around us,
A sphere or an oval or an egg shape,
Whatever feels right to you.
Finding the edges of that bubble space.
It's 100% fine to imagine it if you cannot feel it at all.
It's totally fine.
Just picture it around you.
Make it exactly the shape you want it to be with very distinct boundaries around it.
And then release anything you maybe don't need out of this bubble space.
If there's any worry or concern or yesterday's news in your space,
You can let it go down your grounding cord.
Just clean it out,
Clear it out,
Make it yours.
Fill this space with you.
Because when it's full of you,
There's not room for anything else.
Own it and claim it.
And today in particular,
I would like us to pay special attention to that border,
That boundary that separates our space from the world and put up a little extra protection.
Whatever to you makes this space definitely yours and definitely safe.
And now this is the moment when I'm going to ask you to grab that candle and light that candle.
And if you're imagining a candle,
Imagine a really gorgeous red candle,
As big and thick and wonderful as you want it to be.
Imagine a very bright,
Strong flame.
And what we're going to do is we're going to hold this candle from within this protected bubble space.
And we are going to together imagine that this is protective energy,
That this red in this candle,
This red energy from this candle is a protective energy.
That's what we're going to name it and how we're going to hold this magic today.
And it's very simple.
All we're going to do is hold this candle and we're going to let the protection that we just built into our space,
The protection that we feel,
Sort of flow into this candle and make it even stronger,
Knowing that this is protective love,
Safe energy we're creating in this candle.
And we're going to let this energy go out from wherever we are in the world and go across the world and surround the world to protect the world from aggression,
To protect innocent people,
Civilians living their daily life from any kind of military aggression.
And of course,
We're going to focus heavily on Ukraine.
So seeing the country of Ukraine,
Imagining the borders of that country,
Imagining the edges of Ukraine that might be touching Russia or Belarus or any other place where a threat might come,
Imagining strength,
Imagining protection,
Allowing this beautiful red strong protective energy to emanate out from right where you are,
Out around all of Ukraine,
Protecting Ukraine.
And imagining now,
Seeing now the end of Russian aggression,
Seeing everybody in Ukraine protected from this,
And honestly seeing the people in Russia who have to participate in this war who don't want to be,
Imagining them safe as well,
Making the aggression stop.
Knowing this energy is intelligent and it's going to go exactly where it needs to go.
Letting this magic come through you,
Not forcing it,
Just letting this go out now.
And if there are any places you've heard about on the news that you want to especially protect,
Send a special little extra concentration of this protection energy there.
Send a special concentration of this protection energy there to those places.
And now we're just going to let go.
We're going to let this magic go out.
We're going to release our will and our attachment and our connection to it and just let it go exactly where it needs to go.
And just behold this candle,
Even if it's in your mind's eye,
Just behold it reminding you of this beautiful magic that's sent out there.
And if you have a physical candle,
You might leave it near you or perhaps on your altar or wherever it might be,
Someplace you can see it.
And it would be a lovely thing if you could light it once a day and send this prayer again,
A prayer to end Russian aggression,
A prayer for the safety of everybody in Ukraine and everybody in Europe and everybody in the world.
May Russian aggression,
Which has no place in this world,
End.
May it be over now.
May it be so.
Thank you so much for being with us today.
Your presence,
Your energy and your heart make all the difference in healing our world.
Remember to breathe today,
Breathe and expand.
And I hope you join us again next time.
Please consider inviting a friend.
