This week you're invited to join us as we sit somberly and reflect on the two
years it has been since the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine and the
ten years it has been since Russia first invaded.
Today we turn to one of our most
popular episodes from Shane Pinata.
This is everyday magic for Ukraine.
Today we
will send protection to Ukraine.
Welcome to the circle.
So today all you need if you have it is a needle and
thread and this is one of those episodes where it's really helpful if you can lay
hands on the objects.
So if you want to pause the episode and go look around see
if you can find a needle and thread feel free to do that now.
As we gather today
as we land as we connect and create our circle I invite you to take a breath and
find your body.
The invitation as always is just to allow yourself to slow down
allow yourself to calm,
Center,
Relax and just drop into this meditation this time
we have together today.
So today we're going to be sending protection to
Ukraine and to do this magic to send this prayer I asked you to procure a
needle and thread so if you could grab those now that would be great and you're
going to need something to sew on to so you're going to need to grab a piece of
fabric or something I have a piece of paper because that's convenient for me.
So when you have all your materials what I'd love for you to do is to place them
in as much as you can as easily as you can in the palms of your hand.
So your
hands are wrapped around your items you're holding these items in your hands
and I'm going to lead us through a short meditation that will be a sort of
charging of these materials we're going to use today.
So begin by focusing on
your heart say hello to your heart today hello to your heart in this moment and
you might notice if there's any sadness or loss or joy or excitement or whatever
is in there just say hello to it and maybe think of a time when you were
looking into the eyes of someone you really love.
This could be a friend a
relative an animal see that in your mind's eye really getting lost in the
eyes of somebody you really love.
Allow your heart to expand allow your heart to
open and then allow this vibration this love this heart energy to move down your
right arm so it's moving into your right shoulder and it's moving down your right
arm and into your right hand and pouring out of that palm chakra right
into your materials right into your needle and thread and just really soak
them in that love and now with your left palm you're going to begin to pull that
energy back up up your left arm into your left shoulder and back into your
heart and now again sending it down your right arm and out your right palm
and into the materials and then letting that love travel up your left arm into
your heart and in your own time now just let your love come down your arm into
your hands and materials and circle back we are filling these materials with our
love just pure love from our hearts so what I'd like to invite you to do next
is to take your fabric or your paper and draw or write something on it that has
to do with Ukraine I'm gonna just write the word Ukraine in English and now we
come to the moment of intention of taking our paper and our needle and
thread and saying that this act is designed to send protection to Ukraine
with this thread that we have charged with our love I invite you to just go
ahead and stitch a circle around your symbol so I'm going to stitch a circle
around the word Ukraine and with each stitch you make and say to yourself
protection and you can stab yourself with a needle if you want to that's
that's optional protection and just feel it just see it this is a magical
spell so just see it as you do it visualizing the people of Ukraine if you
have friends relatives people you've seen on the news just see yourself
stitching protection around them protection protection protection safety
safety safety safety you can do any kind of stitch you want to do something fancy
you can do something basic it doesn't matter it's just the intention and I've
been doing a very simple basting stitch so I'm gonna see if I can fill in my
gaps now again just seeing this magic knowing that this magic is happening in
this moment through this action and you might not be finished feel free to pause
the episode if you're still working I'm gonna make two more stitches and then one
two and now you can decide if you want to tie off your thread or not I'm not going to because this
is a practice I would like to continue but you can tie it off if you'd like whatever you feel
energetically is the right thing to do and now to complete this process I invite you to place
this fabric or piece of paper place it between your palms one more time be careful if you still
have the needle attached to it and again find your heart energy your love your connection with your
own divine self and allow that energy to go down your right arm and into this piece of paper this
fabric and then up your left arm back into your heart and maybe do three rounds of sending love
and maybe now just open your palms and just let this magic go out into the world go out wherever
it needs to go it is smart it is wise it has intelligence and it will go exactly where it
needs to go releasing any attachment to it and letting it fly free maybe remember that we have
the power to do magic with very very simple tools maybe 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
