Another unexpected pause

Dearest Yogis,

The universe provided us another pause on Friday.  But this one was completely unexpected, not asked for, and unthinkable.  The Sandy Hook tragedy literally took our breath away……………………

 

 

Soon after the news started to arrive, I received an email saying that “it is hard to think about it without crying on the inside”.    So I sat with that during my Friday night time for me.  I sobbed.  I listened.  I opened.  And this is what I heard:

I am realizing that we are supposed to cry on the inside.   All of us.   Everyone of us.  Just a time of stopping and grieving.  Truly feeling all of those families.   Crying with them. 

But then for all of us not directly affected, those of us on the perimeter…..as we are ready, we begin to let that grief pour out the through the back of our heart, while we let the front of the heart start to spread wide open. 

Grief and joy/love are two sides of the same penny.   And all of us, everyone, on this outer rim who can,  should be sending that vibration of love from the open front of the heart to create a soft, tightly woven netting under all those affected.   Surrounding them with this highest vibration so that they can let go and truly allow their anger, grief and despair without the fear of falling.  Being held by all of us.

Too  often in times like this the opposite happens.  People begin to grieve for the families, but begin to take it on as their own grief.    Sometimes turning it into anger, or very often - fear.  Wanting action.  Reacting.  Analyzing.  Questioning.  That “we must do something now”.  That somehow we only care if we are “doing something”.        But this isn’t the time for that.   

There is enough anger and grief inside those involved without us all pouring ours into it, making it stronger.  Instead we need to be the support, to  just “be” love.  Emanate love  Only love will stop this craziness.    We need a true shift, not another political debate. 

Close your eyes, drop your shoulders and send out love.  Just love.   And now imagine just for a moment what it would be like if the whole county, or better yet the whole world, radiated love out the front of their hearts for even 15 minutes.  Powerful!!  Healing.  Helping.  

Last night I thought  of the Grinch Who Stole Christmas.  How in the early morning, once realizing all that had happened, they just joined around the tree, opened their hearts and sang.  Sending out the vibration of what it is that we all want.    Because what we live, is what we will be. 

And then down the road there can and should  be steps taken/action.  But from a place of peace and not as a reaction to a tragic event.

But for now, let this be the pause between the words.

With lots of love,

SARAH
