From Shane Pinata,
I'm Colleen Thomas.
This is daily magic for peace.
Today we will send light to Ukraine.
Welcome to the circle.
So the only thing you need today is a yellow candle and a blue candle.
And if you don't have those,
It's totally fine to just picture them in your mind's eye.
As we gather together today and arrive in circle,
I invite you to take a breath,
Relax your body,
Clear out your mind,
And find your way toward getting ready to relax for a few minutes together.
One of the things that happens in life without us even realizing it's happening is that we can take tension and stress and store it neatly inside of ourselves in our body.
So I would love to invite you to join me in doing a little gentle stretching today.
You might reach your arms up or to the sides.
Deep breathing is always wonderful with stretching.
Just gently moving,
Noticing any tension you might feel.
Breathing into any tension you might feel,
Releasing,
Releasing,
And stretching.
Just allowing your body to be here and be present and be honored and be noticed,
Be cared for.
And as you do that,
I invite you to connect with the earth beneath you.
Connect with whatever your body is resting on,
Standing,
Sitting,
Lying on,
Walking on,
Dancing on right now.
Notice what is beneath you and feel it holding you up.
Feel the earth down there underneath,
Underneath you,
The earth holding you up,
The earth giving you a safe place to be.
Finding your grounding cord and beginning to release anything you might not need right now,
Allowing it to flow out of that cord and down into the earth beneath you,
Down into the mother,
Releasing any concerns or worries or thoughts.
Connecting into your grounding,
Creating your grounding,
Releasing,
And finding your strength,
Finding that additional strength that comes with being fully grounded.
And now this is the moment when I would love for you to grab your candles or imagine your candles,
A blue and a yellow candle.
And let's first connect with the yellow candle.
See it in your mind's eye or go ahead and light it if it's in front of you on your altar.
Look into that beautiful yellow color and feel the resonance between that yellow color,
That flame,
And your third chakra,
Which is at your solar plexus,
Just a couple of inches above your belly button.
Notice if your third chakra is resonating with yellow.
It may or may not.
That's the traditional color associated with the third chakra.
And that's because that's a chakra that resonates with the sunlight and is where we project our light from.
It is where we show up with passion and with knowing and with intention.
It's where we show up and we do the thing,
The hard thing,
The tough thing,
The important thing.
Just as Ukraine is doing the hard thing,
The tough thing,
And the important thing every day right now.
So just allowing yourself at the level of the third chakra to connect with this candle and to give,
To whatever extent feels good to you,
Feels right to you,
A little bit of your boldness and bravery to that light so that as you see that yellow candle glowing with that flame flickering in front of you,
You know that you are in alignment with it.
And now turning to the blue candle and just see if it resonates with your throat chakra,
Your fifth chakra.
Blue is the traditional color,
A light blue associated with the fifth chakra.
And it is where,
Of course,
We speak our truth and we say the hard things and we say the necessary things.
And you can see probably how these two chakras can work together,
Right?
The third at the solar plexus where we are bold and brave and the fifth at the throat where we say bold and brave things and we speak our truth and we speak truth to power sometimes.
So noticing that the third and the fifth kind of have a kinship,
A way that they naturally want to work together.
And now that we've connected our own experience of the third chakra and the fifth chakra with these candles,
The yellow and the blue candle,
I invite you to take them again in your hands or imagine your hands around them and feel that resonance.
And just allow yourself to both draw energy and strength from these candles into your chakras and also to empower these particular candles with any little bits of yourself that you would like to share.
And the magic will be to send this energy to Ukraine,
To send the light from these two candles that you are looking at right now to send that to Ukraine on the inner wherever it's needed to trust it will go to the right place.
And now I invite you to join me in sending out this energy.
Just allow it to go out,
Allow it to have its intelligence and its knowing and go exactly where it needs to go.
And offering this magic from our highest good that it may land and go exactly where it needs to go.
Just one more moment and now just releasing it.
So just see it go out now and just let it go.
And know that your intention and your love and the power of your third and your fifth chakra to stand up and be bold and brave and to say what needs to be said,
That that's going out there across the world to enhance so much that's already happening within the country of Ukraine and everybody's supporting Ukraine.
May we all show up and do whatever we can to support Ukraine in such an important moment in such an hour of need.
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.
