From Shane Piñata,
I'm Colleen Thomas.
Welcome to Daily Magic for Peace.
Today we will send magic for clarity and ask for the opening of pathways of communication.
Welcome to the circle.
So welcome.
So glad to have you with us in the circle today.
Today all that you need to have with you is a feather,
If you have one.
If you don't have one,
It's completely fine.
You can imagine a feather.
And as we settle into the circle,
Looking around in our mind's eye and seeing everybody who's here with us,
Regardless of space or time,
If this is your first time joining us,
The intention we hold for the circle is that whenever anybody listens to this show at any time,
Any place,
They are in circle with us.
We are transcending space and time by being in this ritual together.
So as you look around in your mind's eye and you see all these other beautiful people who are here with us today with their feathers,
I welcome you to take your place in the circle.
We're going to begin today by grounding in two ways.
The first way is just to remember that we're in a body,
Which is obvious,
But oddly easy to forget.
So I invite you to place your hands on your body somewhere that feels comforting,
Maybe on your thighs,
On your lap,
Or holding your hands one inside another.
And feel free to adapt this to whatever way works for your body.
The idea is just to feel a connection.
And our second grounding today will be breathing into tension.
Taking a few deep breaths,
Breathing into the tension in the body,
Breathing into it,
Experimenting with filling any places that feel tense,
Filling them up with a breath.
And then as you let go,
Allowing that tension to just leave your body just effortlessly,
Breathing into tension in the body,
Saying hello,
Tension.
And if you're ready,
Let's just let some of you go.
Let's do two more together.
Breathing in and out and in and out.
So turning to our feathers,
In our mind's eye or in our hands,
Wherever you have your feather.
The idea of communication and feathers may seem a bit odd to you.
So let me explain how I made the connection.
In many old religions,
Birds were messengers.
And our prayer today is to send clarity,
Clear communication,
And connection between the peoples affected in Ukraine and Russia and all around the world.
I invite you to connect to your heart,
Maybe place a hand on your heart and feel that feeling that can come when you know what's going on,
When you have information.
Okay,
I got this.
I know what's going on.
I know the plan.
I know where I am.
I know where my people are.
So this is what we're going to focus on today.
Sending that calmness that comes in the body when we know what's going on,
When we have clarity and when we have communication.
And my prayer today and the magic I hope you will help me weave today is to send that calmness,
Ask the universe to help clarify communication for people.
We are such a species that needs connection.
And of course,
We're a species that needs safety.
And we need to know what's going on.
Seeing that happen,
Imagining that happening across the world,
Imagining your feather carrying that message across the world,
Wrapping the world with this magic that we are sending out,
Wrapping the world,
Wrapping the world and see it echoing out,
See it spreading,
See it spreading.
And I invite you to take a breath with your lungs that hold the ability to speak and communicate through speech.
And so it is.
I want to thank you so much for being here with us today.
Your presence,
Your energy and your heart make all the difference in our world.
And I want to invite you to breathe today,
Keep breathing and keep expanding.
And I hope you join us next time.
And I hope you can consider inviting a friend.
