Let's say a little prayer.
I've been reflecting lately on the power of prayer/incantation (depending on what you believe or embrace in life) and how words have so much energy attached to them, especially when we're in dark places.
We talked about those backseat drivers in my last post, and how important it is to ask ourselves what sensation is happening in our body when our backseat drivers crop up, but this feels deeper and seems to take it further. It’s easy to perpetuate the darkness we're feeling with complaints or repeating the same heavy story over and over instead of repeating:
I am protected by and wrapped in light. Grant me peace, love, and harmony.
And this is even more impactful when we STAND IN OUR POWER --- wide-legged, sturdy, with our chest open to the sky repeating the prayer until our voice is clear and bold and resonates in the space we occupy. That resonance shifts energy, within and around us. It reduces stress, anxiety, and heavy emotions. It reminds us that we have agency.
We can acknowledge darkness, because it's inevitable, but we get to choose the light, which is always so much brighter than we can imagine.
Have you been feeling like you're swimming in the dark depths? Know that this tool is available to you, always. Try it right away and see what shifts inside and outside of you. Let’s create a brighter world.
Peace,
Katy
