Some may have been excited about the election results, but for many, it was a dark week. I spoke with a number of people who cried for hours. Fear of the future to come is a common concern.
This is when we have to call upon our spiritual principles to see us through:
Practice meditation and sitting in Silence, feeling the Divine Presence.
- Use release statements to let go of fear and anxiety. (For example, “I let go of any fear and anxiety now. I release, I let go, and I let God.”)
- Write specific affirmations (truth statements) and say them aloud often. (“I am filled with peace.” “Nothing can disturb the calm peace of my soul.” “I have faith in a great Divine Order in the Universe.” “I know that despite outer appearances, all is well.”)
- Feel your feelings and breathe deeply.
- Turn your thoughts from negative to positive—don’t wallow; listen to music, take a walk, cook a meal.
- Spend time immersed in the beauty of nature.
- Read something inspirational.
We must continue to combat “evil” (in the form of violence, racism, etc). To overcome it, we have to “enact its opposite as vigorously as we can in our lives and in the world.” And move beyond to a greater Divine Order at work always. That order goes even beyond our awareness of cycles of history to a more cosmic understanding of the world and universe in which we live. It is the harmony at the foundation of all.
We are all actors playing out a cosmic drama...and our part to play involves kindness, compassion, love, and being a light bearer in all circumstances. We must be Mystics, tuning into God, and also Prophets, standing up, and/or writing and speaking out for justice.
Align yourself with Divine Order each day and follow your inner guidance!
Love & peace,
Rev. Kathy
