Our Weekly Words 11.13.19

​On 11-10-18 our Shala community committed to one year of the Metta Meditation. The intention of the practice was to raise the vibration and light in our lives and the lives of our families, friends and community. It has been a powerful year of transformation and love.
 
On this anniversary, 11-10-19, let us all commit to another year of raising the light and vibration!
 
Sit in silence. With eyes closed, imagine a light coming from a huge, extravagant source. See the light move through the top of your head and into your entire body, filling and surrounding you with vibrant light. When you feel the energy in and around you, offer your prayer:
 
May I be filled with love and kindness.
May I be safe from inner and outer danger.
May I be vibrantly healthy in mind, body and spirit.
May I be at ease and at peace.
May I receive this light and be a light in the world.
 
See and feel the light around you grow and expand to a larger orb of energy surrounding you. Welcome the ones you love. Invite your family, friends, pets, people you love on the other side into the light. Offer your prayer:
 
May you be filled with love and kindness.
May you be safe from inner and outer danger.
May you be vibrantly healthy in mind, body and spirit.
May you be at ease and at peace.
May you receive this light and be a light in the world.
 
Extending the light beyond your orb of loved ones. Include people you feel have hurt you, misunderstood you, those that have a different perspective on life, those you find a challenge to love.
 
May you be filled with love and kindness.
May you be safe from inner and outer danger.
May you be vibrantly healthy mind, body and spirit.
May you be at ease and at peace.
May you receive this light and be a light in the world. 
 
Together our prayers and energy will make the world brighter.
