Mother Earth, Mother Heart, Mother Peace

In a world that feels polarized, where conflict and war dominate the headlines, it’s easy to feel powerless… or pulled into fear.

But there is another way.

In this special Mother’s Day episode of Reiki from the Farm™, we explore the Divine Feminine response to war and conflict—which is profoundly powerful, not passive.

The Divine Feminine teaches us to hold steady in love, to remain grounded in truth, and to elevate consciousness rather than react from fear.

Drawing on the teachings of David R. Hawkins and others, we discuss how maintaining a high vibrational state doesn’t just transform our own lives—it ripples outward, impacting dozens, even hundreds of others.

We’ll explore:

• What it means to embody the Divine Feminine in times of chaos
• How Reiki World Peace energy works to harmonize collective consciousness
• Why your personal energy matters more than you think
• Practical Reiki techniques to stay grounded, centered, and aligned
• The deep connection between the Divine Feminine and the Earth itself

This episode includes a guided Reiki meditation to help you anchor into peace, connect with the Earth, and become a steady presence in an unsteady world.

Because now, more than ever…the world doesn’t need more fear.

It needs you—steady, grounded, and anchored in love.

Hi, and welcome to the Reiki from the Farm podcast, brought to you by me, Pam Allen Leblanc from Hidden Brook Farm. I am a scientist, a businesswoman, and a licensed Reiki master teacher with the International Center for Reiki Training. Each week in this podcast, you'll be entertained as you learn about a wide variety of relevant Reiki topics, helping you become a more knowledgeable and effective Reiki practitioner. We caution you though, this podcast may also dramatically improve your life, and we are so happy that you're here. So welcome everyone to this month's Reiki Share and this week's podcast. This week we're talking about Mother Earth, Mother Heart, a divine feminine path to peace. And this is partly in honor of Mother's Day, and you're welcome, Carolyn, and partly because I really am starting to see the divine feminine starting to crack the facade of our traditionally patriarchal society. It's just it's just showing up in so many interesting places. So really happy to have you here this week and this month. Before we go too far, I just wanna let you know that next month's Reiki Share, I am going to have with me the two co-creators of our horse card deck. We're getting together for a week to start to bring together our creation. The the horses have been teaching us a new way to be in the world, a way to be in integrity, but it is a more divine feminine, it's a more matriarchal way to be, and it's a new way to show up in leadership, both with inner authority, so leadership for yourself, but also a new way to take on leadership roles that is much more considered of others and so on. And we've just been learning fascinating things as we go through this, a lot of them around the divine feminine and masculine being in balance, which is the ideal. I look at the divine feminine and masculine in balance as the enlightenment as the goal. And we... I had one horse, I, big Buddy, I lost him the day after Mother's Day last year. He was my heart horse, and he is the only horse I've come across and one of the few... I haven't come across very many people or anyone who was really perfectly balanced with feminine and masculine. And Big Bud, that was something that he really embodied and really taught us. So next month do show up. We're going to have some of the artwork to show you, and we're going to curate some of the messages into our Reiki Share next month and podcast. So I really hope you guys can join us live. If you wonder how to do that, just go onto the website, Reiki From The Farm, and and, On that website, you can sign up for our newsletter, and you're automatically invited to these monthly Reiki shares. And I have a question in the chat, the picture of me and the horse in the journal that I held up, that was that Big Buddy. It was not. It was Honey. But both Big Buddy and Honey have been a couple of my guides, my Reiki guides right from the beginning, Wanda. And so you tapped into that energy quite nicely. So really excited about that next month. And also, I just wanted to let everybody know that in August, beginning August 8th to 10th I'll be teaching Usui Holy Fire Reiki Level I and II class in Campobello at the Bay. We'll then be taking a day together with the Level I and II students, as well as the master students on the Monday, so that I can show you the island. We can go to Eleanor's Tea. We can... you can go whale watching. I may not join you because I've been quite a bit, and the whales sometimes come right up to our house while I'm teaching. So you may see the whales at the living room window if you come in person for that class. We are going to tour the Roosevelt Cottage. I'll take you for a hike. We'll have a meal together, a lunch together. And just it... The island is... Campobello Island is truly magical, so I'd love to show you that. For each class you can always stay. There's a campground. There's a whale watch hotel. There's other cabins and hotels on the island. They do get booked early, so if you did want to come in person, check that out. You can also stay in Lubec. Those spots don't get booked quite as quickly. And we do have five rooms in our Airbnb that you're welcome to reserve just on a first come, first serve basis. And I'd love to see you on the island. That Level I and II class will be followed by a master class August 10th to 14th or 11th to 14th, but the 10th is just to bring people for our day together. And then the following week, we have Animal Reiki Level I and II and Master with the same thing. We'll have a full day together where I can show you all the wonderful things ar-around the island. And the week after that, August 22nd to 27th we will have Animal Communication for the first time. I haven't taught that in person since COVID. That's only been an online class. So these classes are all both online and in person. So if you join us in August, you can join us both ways. In October, I will have online and in person level one and two Reiki and animal Reiki classes here at the farm as well, and online master classes in the evenings or mornings in Asia and Australia. So guys, this month I just really wanted to tap into what's happening in the world and just ask the question, how would the divine feminine react to this? What if we brought in a divine feminine energy combined with Reiki, and, what would that mean to all of the conflict and all of the headline fatigue and all of the things that are happening around the world? And I really was guided to make this Reiki share and this podcast about that divine feminine and that mother energy because here's the thing, we're all mothers in a way. We're we all have access to divine feminine within us, whether we're male or female. And when you are female, you've probably been a mother to a plant, whether you're male or female, to an animal and some of us to children, and we all have a mother. So it's really something that mother love is something that we know. It's something that we have in common. And as a first on the farm, we actually have a mother fox who has four fox kits. They are currently under our, under the old chicken coop part of our barn. And so we're-- we all know when we hear about that mother love, even if we haven't experienced it we all know what that means and what that is. So I do want to acknowledge the divine feminine Mother's Day, the fact that we either are or have a mother. And I also want to acknowledge that nurturing energy that exists within Mother Earth, in the spirit of the Earth, and just the nurturing force with all living beings. And so let's just take a moment now with Reiki and just bringing in the power symbol with your hands in Gassho, the mental, emotional or emotional balance symbol, and the distance symbol And if you have any master symbols, bring those in, too. And we just ask Reiki to connect us with and show us that divine feminine side of ourselves, and how we can use that to navigate the difficulties and conflicts and the stress in the collective that we're all experiencing at this moment in time. And sometimes we are tempted to think of the feminine as soft, but just imagine a mother defending her cub or her kit or her child. There can be a firmness within the feminine, but it's a firmness that's also fair. It's a loving firmness. Kindness isn't always nice. And one thing we can do as we navigate these chaotic and difficult times is we can remain stable and kind. We can tap into that feminine firmness, even that incredible nurturing energy and that protectiveness that exists within us. And so just being asked, just asking the Reiki energy to just allow us to connect with that inside of us today, and to just listen with an open heart and an open mind, and listen within that connection to our divine feminine. And if we look at enlightenment as the ultimate goal, we're considering that might mean, as I have been shown, that beautiful balance between the divine feminine and divine masculine. And we acknowledge that there is no conflict here, that the divine feminine loves the divine masculine loves the divine feminine, that there's not one over the other. This is It is possible to be very comfortable in both. There's no competition. And just placing our hands on our heart, we take a moment- To thank our mothers and their mothers and theirs. Each one of us existed as an egg inside of our grandmothers when our grandmother was forming our mother. And even if you don't know your mother, that is still the truth. And when we think of our ancestors, our ancestral lineage, they were such strong people. They overcame hardships that we can't even imagine. They had to work very hard, and they wanted more for us. They wanted better for us, and so we acknowledge that, just as we want better for the next generation, for our children. And we take a moment to ask to step into and tap into the stability of our divine nature. And even though we're focused on the divine feminine, there is a stability when we tap into both. We are so blessed to be of this lineage of light bringers creating wellness on the earth today. You creating wellness within you. Thank you. So I just want to take a moment now to just tap into that nurturing force within all beings, and also to take a moment to talk about, a little bit of what's happening. We are in a time of war and conflict, just intense times, power struggles, divisiveness, propaganda and fake news not being sure if groups or organizations and even political systems are taking advantage of events for profit. So just intense global events, and there's a des- a description that I heard Colleen and Robin Benelli use, headline fatigue. And we're all seeing an increasing polarity just, and duality, and in fact, it's really difficult- not to react with reactivity. In fact, much of what we're seeing, the headlines, that's their purpose, is to create that reaction. There's an energy in that reaction, and that's that's what's, what is being purposefully activated in a lot of cases. So we've got tension, war, conflict, polarization, and I just want us to ask the question right now, what is the divine feminine response to this? If you ask yourself this, what do you hear? When I ask this, it first led me into what is the divine feminine? And I really sat with what I've learned from the animals and the mother and nurturing nature of all the many animals, the chickens and ducks that hatched ch- chicks and ducklings and even, oh, the mother turkeys that I had on the farm. They were delightful. And I think about the horses that have had babies here. I think about all the wild animals and the bear cubs that we sometimes see. And the divine feminine to me isn't really a gender. It's more of an energy or an intelligence or a way of being. Just like when I use the word God, and to me, that is source energy that's both male and female and neither male and female. It's almost like it exists beyond gender. And to me, the divine feminine is the energy of the Earth. It's it has its cycles. It's intuitive. It's relational. When you look at any group, the mothers are... The males of the species might be off fighting. At least I'm thinking about the roosters and so on. But the mothers are normally coming together to rear their children together in a very beautiful community-based kind of way. They're also-- It's very intuitive. There's a lot of intuition around it as well. So the divine feminine, it, it does hold a paradox. It's both fierce and compassionate. It's correct-- But it is connected to truth, and it is not about domination. It's more about getting along, coming together, being in, in community. And one of the things I noticed with the animals in Africa, for instance, is that they talked about the importance of being in community. That was just really crucial to them. In fact, the prey animals told me,"You're looking at us all wrong. You're looking at us through the lens of a victim. We are not powerless. If we decide to come together, we can take on the fiercest predator. We choose to allow the cycles of nature, including the predator-prey relationship, to exist the way that it is for a number of reasons, actually." This is really interesting, the-- And I know I've mentioned it a little bit before, but I'll just go into it again and maybe with a bit more depth. The antelope let me know, or the impalas, that, Oh, Carolyn, you said you were talking about it with a client. So cool. That if they came in community, they could chase the predators off. But they let me know that, you know what? It's boring eating grass all day. And with your c- with your community or your family, it gets a little boring. And then the predator attack happens and they let me know that they appreciated the predator's role, which was to make sure that there didn't become too many impalas so that they would eat all the grass and they would starve to death. Just keeping everything in balance. The predator's role was that, and that most times they chose to go along with that predator role. And and even sometimes they, they chose to be food. I remember seeing one of the little impalas out there, and it was limping quite badly, and I thought,"Oh, no. You are going to be food quite soon." And yet I got a sense that the impala was, okay with that, that this was just the nature of it. But the impalas let me know that after the predator attack, that when they were able to settle down and be in community again, how much they appreciated that, whereas they might have been bored with it Then there's the excitement and the the rush of the predator attack, and there might be some sadness afterward as they process, the change in their community. But there's also an appreciation for what they had. And so they let me know that, we're not powerless, we're not a victim, and then they said,"And neither are you." So ever since I started on this Reiki journey, for me, it really brought me... I know we talk about the heavens, and that's great. But for me, it really brought me in even more communion with the Earth, and I've always found the Earth to be a teacher. And the feminine within the Earth is what sustains life. It creates life. It taps us into that creation energy. And I remember after my level three class I remember reading a book called The Mists of Avalon, and I don't know if any of you have ever read that by Marion Zimmer Bradley. And in fact, I read the whole series. And I remember I just fell on my knees, and I, at that time, I often would talk to the feminine aspect of God. And I remember saying,"Goddess, why have we been in this patriarchal society for so long?" And Sri Jen the... I'll put it in the chat. It's actually called The Mists of Avalon, and it's by Marion Zimmerman, I believe it is, Bradley. And and she, y- she was talking about the time when we were in a more matriarchal society, and it just really made it stand out. And let me be clear, the patriarchal society is not super healthy for men or women. But what's funny is that I was really almost romanticizing the matriarchal society. And I said, to the... And I couldn't use the word God, so I often talked to an ener- the divine feminine, which I called Goddess. And I said,"Goddess, why have we been in this patriarchal society for so long?" And I heard very clearly you had to get to know your father." And I said Okay. And she said,"Everybody knows about me. Everybody has a mother. Not everybody knows their father. Not everybody, has that connection, but everybody knows that they were created by a mother, and they're aware of a seed becoming a plant. They're aware of the fertility cycle and the creation cycle, but you didn't really know your father." And I just said,"But for 2,000 years?" And I heard,"Meh, what's 2,000 years?" And I-- It just s- it just floored me because I thought yes, I suppose to the Earth, 2,000 years is but a blip." And then she-- And then I heard,"And you have been romanticizing the matriarchal society. It wasn't as perfect as you think that it was. There were problems there, too." And I really saw that where we're heading, where we're going is a place that's very balanced between matriarchal and patriarchal. It's something new. It's something that hasn't existed before. Although maybe it has existed within cultures that we're not as aware of or perhaps that are not as prevalent. But it is there. And so as we are in a time that is very much around the patriarchy and around power struggles and divisiveness one of the things that we can do is we can remain above that by using Reiki to stay within our divine consciousness. And what that does is it helps us stay really stable and strong. If you think about a tree, even as the branches sway with the wind, the trunk stays very stable and strong, and the roots are deeply into the earth, very strong. And we can remain that way. We... And it's not by bypassing or ignoring what's happening, but we can refuse to amplify the fear, hatred, or division, and we can use Reiki to develop discernment to determine what's true or at least what's true for us, and that's the most important thing. With a divine feminine way of looking at things, we're tapping into that creation energy. It doesn't meet violence with more violence. It transforms The place and the energy that violence arises in. The divine feminine can remain centered. Reiki can bring us to a place of neutrality, a place above the conflict and duality, and it can create a cellular peace within us. In fact, the power symbol, it brings the power of the universe into anything, and it can create protection against energies that would be harmful for us. So before you pick up your phone or look up... look on, at the news, just take a moment to activate that. And while you're at it, activate the mental, emotional or emotional balance symbol, because what that does is that activates our divine mind within our human mind. It moves us into a higher frequency of thought so that we can make conscious choices. And my mentor and friend, Colleen Benelli, says you can even say, in her recent blog, she talks about you can even say,"I receive," and just open yourself up to the wisdom of the divine. The mental emotional symbol also can help us remain in the frequency of gratitude and notice beauty. We can also use the distance symbol to send backward to any times that we may have become triggered or felt overwhelmed. We can send it forward, and we can invite the Reiki to give us discernment to understand what's true or at least what's true for us. There's a wonderful quote by Antoine de Saint Exupery, which is,"I know but one freedom, and that is the freedom of the mind." And so using that mental emotional symbol, especially if we use it alongside the other two can really bring us into that higher mind and keep us above the duality, above the conflict. And you might say,"But, what does that do? How does that help? And how does sending backward work?" It can heal the past Srijan. When you use the distance symbol that you learn in Reiki level two, you can send it both back to your past and forward to your future. And even though something has already happened- What it can do as it heals it is it can take the injury out of it or it can take the charge out of it, which is really very helpful. And so we think okay, so we use Reiki to make ourselves feel better, but that doesn't help all the people that are being injured. In fact, it does. Pardon me. With Reiki, our internal light can stay constant and strong, and I'd like to introduce you to the work of David Hawkins. Now, before I do, I want to bring up a line that William Rand uses in his Reiki Master Manual, and he's talking about Reiki being a part of our personal development toward the goal of living a healthy, centered, balanced, loving life. And he says,"With humility, be willing to look at, feel, and release all impurity, negativity, and darkness that with, is within you so your true light will shine more brightly." And I think every one of us can use Reiki to help us do this. But the reason I'm bringing David Hawkins up at this time is that when we use Reiki to keep ourselves stable and balanced in complicated times, David has spent his lifetime, David R. Hawkins, studying the levels of human consciousness and assigning them a numerical calibration or frequency. In his book, Power Versus Force, his research suggests that higher frequencies have a mathematical power to counterbalance lower frequency energies. According to him, at the level of 200, which is the level of courage, we reach a critical threshold of consciousness, and as we move higher and higher, the impact of our frequency grows exponentially. So as an example, he uses the level of 300 in his research. That is the frequency of willingness and optimism, and when we are in that frequency of willingness and optimism, one of us, one person at that level counterbalances 90,000 people who calibrate below the level of 200, so 90,000 people who are in a lower frequency or a lower vibration just by being in the energy of willingness and optimism When we move up even higher to the level 500, which is the level of love, one person who is vibrating at the frequency of love or the level 500 counterbalances 750,000 people who are below the level of 200, which is where the threshold with the level of courage. If we move even higher into the energy of peace, which is the level 600, one person who remains in the frequency of peace counterbalances 10 million people who are in the lower frequencies. And if we move further to enlightenment, one person can counterbalance 70 million people below the level of 200. So essentially with that peace and enlightenment, we're all striving for enlightenment. I'm not sure if-- I'm not sure that I'm there yet, but I certainly can accomplish the frequency of peace, even if I'm not certain that I can get to the frequency of enlightenment. And to that end in 2022, when William Rand and Colleen Benelli were working together asking what could they do to help when-- with the war in the Ukraine, they were shown that there was a frequency of energy coming through the holy fire energy. At that time, it was an upgrade, and it was an upgrade to the world peace energy. Now, let me just explain for a minute how the upgrades work. It's not that"Oh, you've-- we've been good little boys and girls, and so we deserve an upgrade, and so here you go," or anything like that. What it is that the frequency... Oh, Roxelana, you said I'm one in a million. You're so sweet. I guess that's true when I vibrate at the frequency of peace. But when I want to fight and when I get frustrated, then I'm definitely not vibrating in the frequency of peace. So I just have to really be conscious of that. And I do get frustrated just like everybody else, particularly when I was running for the Green Party and in politics. That was a really strange frequency actually to inhabit and to be in. It wasn't a the high frequencies of Reiki that we are all used to. That's for sure But the energy of world peace, like as these upgrades happen, what happens is that as we work with energies and grow and expand, we are then able to receive more. And as soon as we are able to receive more, more is available to us. So it's That's how the frequencies work. But in 2022 the frequency of world peace came through the holy fire energy. And so anybody with holy fire, you can always tap into that. And one of the things that we find that it does is that even when there's chaos around you, that energy can help us remain in peace. So it can help us remain in that higher level where we can counterbalance up to 10 million other individuals. And a lot of you are familiar with Wayne Dyer. He spoke about Dr. Hawkins' research and work, and talks about even when we only raise our frequency slightly to where we practice kindless- kindness, love, and receptivity, we can see beauty and the endless potential of good in others as well as ourselves, and we can counterbalance so much. And when we add to that the Reiki ideals, just for today I will not worry and I will not anger, I will be devoted to my work, I will be filled with gratitude, and I will be kind, these automatically raise our vibration. And and then on top of all of that, one of the other things that the divine feminine embodies is that unification consciousness, that community, that connection. So I guess from all of this Colleen Benelli and I have had quite a lot of talks about how can, can Reiki become a form of activism? And really based on that research, it really can. We often think of activism as going to protests and today I was supposed to show up at the legislature, but I wasn't able to. But this kind of shifts the conversation a little bit. Self-care can be one of the most profound forms of activism. Doing our Reiki sessions, taking time to heal our own blocks and maintain a high frequency, we literally, it's not just a s- a figure of speech, we literally are contributing to the wellness of the world. And the other thing that we can do is we can catch ourselves if we start to fall into that lower frequency, and we all do. There's nothing to be ashamed of. I, I certainly spend some time there. But I'm trying to be more conscious of catching myself and using that power symbol as a frequency filter and just asking Re- Reiki to help me notice when I'm dropping down, and just consciously activate Reiki to move back into that frequency of peace. We know that Reiki has an intelligence. We know that it can guide us. We know that world peace exists within the frequency of Reiki and also within the frequency of the holy fire of all Reiki, but also within the holy fire Reiki. We know Reiki can work beyond time and space, and we know that at this moment in time, there are m- millions of Reiki practitioners in the world. We don't have a number on them. The It's just not something that has been captured, but we know that there are millions of Reiki practitioners out there right now. And so just if we are all doing this, that amplification of that group consciousness, that unification consciousness is there. So it's not important for us to fix anything. We simply become a broadcast point of peace. It's I think of it as like a radio tower, for those of you who remember radio sending out this collective broadcast for peace. And it also feels so nice to be in the health of that. Now, there's a couple of techniques I wanted to share with you from the horses, and just talk about a few things we can do before we move into our meditation today. And the first one is, what do you do when you find yourself out of the frequency of peace? And, if you find yourself in a place of anxiety if you find yourself getting upset or worked up about s- the headlines or about the war, about what's happening, It's not that's not important. It is very important. But I think we can see that it's even more important that we stay stable and kind within that. So the first thing I often tell people to do, when we're working with horses, the horses are a mirror, and if you are out of alignment, out of the frequency of peace the horses pick up on it in an instant, and they have the fastest reaction time on the planet, whereas we have the second slowest after the sloth is what I've been told. I'm not sure that's scientifically proven, but I think it's, there's something to it. And so any time that we become anxious scientifically, our breath becomes more shallow, and the horses just pick up on that instantly. And so what I've had to train my riders to do is breathe deeply. Three deep breaths is all that it takes. Your body actually, physiologically, when you take shallow breaths, you are in your sympathetic nervous system, and that's like fight or flight. You're in fight or flight. You're ready to move, to run. And so just noticing, like, when you're in that state, just force yourse-self to take three deep breaths. It automatically shifts you into the parasympathetic nervous system and rest and digest. And I know with working with horses, I can't tell you how many times that I had to remind students to breathe because we forget. We forget to breathe, especially if we're thinking hard, we forget to breathe, or if we're nervous, we breathe shallowly. And just that three deep breaths, and your horse relaxes, you can relax. So this can work even without horses. If you notice yourself feeling anxious around any of this, three deep breaths. And then the importance of being a leader who can maintain that stability is there. As a coach, and I've al- I've also trained a lot of people how to train their horses, and with horse training, you have to be very stable and very calm, or things could go very badly when you're working with a 1,200-pound animal with... that is that powerful and that fast and that reactive. And so my husband used to laugh and he said it's like the pilot you're like you're the pilot of a plane and even when things are like blowing up all around you just stay so calm and you just talk like you know the way I'm talking right now and stuff and he said but I've been he said I think I was thinking about it and I he said if your pilot came on when there was turbulence and said oh my gosh ladies and gentlemen I'm oh I don't know what to do you know everybody's gonna freak out and so just the importance of being that pilot ladies and gentlemen we're you know experiencing a little bit of turbulence nothing I can't handle nothing we haven't seen before everything is fine just staying in that place that's something that the horses really taught me and there's an energy to that one of the things I talk to people about is energy and this can be really helpful in just living your day-to-day life especially in these interesting times with a horse Mark Rashid taught us that he had a half full water bottle and he said imagine that this water bottle you know is imagine that the number 10 that it will fit 10 ounces or 10 a unit of 10 10 of air and 10 of water he says imagine that is you and your horse and ideally you're each going to be at a five you're each going to be taking you know half of the space in this water bottle but if something happens that causes your horse to move up to an eight you have to be able to learn to move immediately down to a two because anything above 10 is going to cause an explosion in the water bottle and an explosion in your horse and so what we taught ourselves in order to help train horses that were often you know nervous or didn't really know what was happening or what was being asked of them we taught ourselves that if their energy went high we went low how did we do that we actually deliberately dropped our energy into the earth now the earth can always handle this so if you're noticing the energy around you getting a little bit amplified high just ask yourself if neutral if balanced is five where is this energy it's at a seven i need to go to a three and you go ahead and you drop some of your energy into the earth so that the total is always 10 i don't know if that makes sense you guys it makes sense when i teach people with the horses And so hopefully that's coming through with the podcast. And I usually have a water bottle as prop, and I don't have that today. So this is another thing that we can do to just be very aware of where our energy is at. If you've got somebody on the other end of the phone that's in a very heightened state, drop your energy. Drop any excess energy into the earth. Conversely, and it happens a lot less often, sometimes your horse's energy will go down to a four or a three, and they'll refuse to move, and you have to go up to a six or a seven, in order to encourage them to keep moving. But more often, it's it's that reactivity where someone on the other end is in a heightened state and you need to deliberately drop some energy out of your body so that it can remain in balance. This is so much fun to be able to teach you guys some of the horse things. And I was just showing the group that Horse Canada just did a feature on animal communicators, and I was one of the ones that they interviewed. So some of what we do is becoming very mainstream, and I'm doing another interview with them this Friday because they're very interested in our bitless work with horses. So I'll be talking with them about that. So just a couple of things that we can do to stay in a high vibration. First off, daily self-Reiki, and when you do your daily self-Reiki, ask the power symbol to really help you with discernment and just only allowing in the energy that needs to come in. Invite the emotional balance symbol to keep you in a space of emotional balance. And use the distance symbol to send energy forward and backward to any times when you weren't in balance. Another thing that we can do that can really amplify and really help us stay in a state of peace is activate Reiki either with your hands in Gassho or just intending the energy to flow, or you can even say,"Reiki on," and then place your hands over your heart and state the following:"I am love. I am peace. I am peace. I am love." And you can just say it to yourself as many times as you need to until you have it entrained to that frequency, and you can do that any time through the day. It just takes a moment. We can also use the distance symbol to send Reiki to any global situations that we're concerned about. So we're not powerless. We if there is something that we're concerned about, then let's spend some time sending Reiki to that. I'm very concerned right now about the war in Iran, and so tonight in our meditation together, I'm going to be spending some time sending Reiki there. I'm also very concerned just about economically how the fact that we are so tied to fossil fuels how this is really increasing prices for a lot of people and making people's lives that were already challenging even more and that's got a really broad impact. We can send Reiki to that global situation as well. And we can, deliberately limit our exposure to any fear-based media. If you are interested in kind of understanding the dynamics of the media and reporting, William Rand often recommends the book by Steven Pinker called The Better Angels of Our Nature. And it's a pretty thick book. It's 800 pages, I think, or six... I don't know. It's a pretty thick tome. But if you are really interested in understanding, how the media cycle works and all of that it's an older book, but it is really very informative. And we can use Reiki to help with discernment about where to find our news and even when we find our news, how to listen to it, how to filter it. We also can spend some time connecting with nature and Reiki, and we can ask to... We can ask Reiki to help us understand what is the difference between being firm and fighting, that's... If we think of that mother love I was just talking the other week about how my kids, if they misbehaved, they would have to sit on the stairs in a time out. And I remember a little boy visiting with his mom, and he was misbehaving and just slapping his mother and me. And I waited for her to do something, and when she didn't, I just said,"All right, my house, my rules." And I cr- grabbed his little hand and I marched him over to the stairs, and I said,"In this house, we don't hit our mothers. You need to sit on the stairs." And he did because I was firm. I wasn't fighting with him. I wasn't, But I was very firm. And so just that, just helping to know the difference between the two. Sometimes we need to do that. And so just being in that high vibration of Reiki will help us remain stable. And Colleen has an expression,"What can I do in this? I can remain stable and kind," Colleen and Robin, and I just love, I love how they do that. So we think about the divine feminine. The Earth doesn't panic. It just regenerates and rebalances. So we can sit with a tree, with the wisdom of trees. We can put our hands on the soil, and we can listen. And so guys, I don't know if there's any questions or anything, and I hope I haven't bored you with that. But those are just a few things that I've been thinking about recently that I really wanted to share with you because we have that ability, and it exists within Reiki and within the divine feminine. And Reiki is very balanced with the divine feminine and the divine masculine, and so we can tap into either or both sides of those. And so we're going to move into a healing meditation now to close. I'm just going to invite everyone to close your eyes, take a deep breath, and move your hands into Gassho, activating Reiki, and just tapping into that firmness, that nurturing kindness that isn't always nice, that exists within us. And beyond that, we tap into the frequency of love, unification, for love of all that is, love as the highest expression, and we tap into the energy of peace. And if there are any energies within us that are less than love or less than peace, we invite Reiki to just envelop those now and let them go. And on every in breath, you breathe in the light of Reiki, and on every out breath, you release anything that is less than love and less than peace. And let's just breathe here for at least 12 breaths together. And just notice as the light of Reiki comes from the highest heavens and also from the divine earth to in front of your hands, through your hands, and into your heart, the gift of love, and the gift of peace, and the gift of enlightenment should we choose to receive it. Bring your awareness to your heart and to the space beneath your feet Feel the earth, steady and ancient, holding you here. Imagine roots extending from your body deeply into the soil, going all the way to the groundwater and the bedrock beneath the groundwater. Imagine your consciousness traveling down beyond the bedrock and into the center of the earth, the heartbeat of the earth. Place your hands comfortably on your body now, and as you connect with the heartbeat of the earth, just feel the strength, her calm, her unwavering presence. And let's take a moment now together to send Reiki to the earth, inviting Reiki to flow through us, sending Reiki to the earth, to all the people of the planet, the animals, the soil, the rocks, the trees, the plants, the earth itself. And we remember that our bodies are made of the earth. Our mothers created our bodies in the womb by eating foods that were nourished and grown in the earth. And as we became babies, and then children, we ate foods that were incubated in the earth, and that is what allowed us to grow. And so our bodies truly are made of the earth to give our spirit life and breath. Feel the Reiki energy in your hands now and in your heart, and throughout your entire being. Just allow it. And we take a moment to... in awareness that there is nothing to fix within us. We are perfect as we are. And yet we are becoming even more than we are in this moment. Every minute, every hour, every day, we become more than we were. We're becoming peace even when it's not peaceful. We're becoming steadiness even when things don't feel steady. We're becoming love even when we don't feel it around us. Let's extend that thought to the world. The world, too, is becoming. It's not broken. And so we invite Reiki to flow into ourselves, through ourselves, to the planet with no agenda, no effort, just offering it. And let's do this from a place of trust that this matters, that your presence and your vibration, they ripple outward, touching lives that you may never see or know, touching both the seen and unseen. You are part of the healing of this world. And as we remain here, held by the earth and supported by Reiki, know this: Peace isn't something that we create, it's something we remember, and you're remembering now. And let's remain here in this vibration of peace together, sending a collective broadcast of peace around the planet for the next few minutes, remembering who you are Take a deep breath in, and invite your body and your being, your heart and your mind, all of the parts of yourself to remain in the frequency of peace. And we ask Reiki to let us know when we deviate from that, when we move into anxiety, so that we can remember to activate Reiki and take three deep breaths, and move back into the frequency of peace, and affect 10 million other people on the planet. I invite you to stay here as long as you'd like. Whenever you feel ready, just to gently return. This Mother's Day, may we remember the power of the divine feminine within each and every one of us. It's not passive. It's unshakably powerful, grounded, and ancient. And we remember that even when the world is loud, we can stay steady. Thank you so much for being here with me this evening, or if you're listening later on the podcast. And thank you for that beautiful collective broadcast of peace that you're creating on the Earth today. Bless you. Namaste. Thank you
