Peace in Challenging Times

Dear ones, we know these are challenging times. They might be about to get more challenging. We say this not to scare you, (never to scare you!) But to instead commend you on your resiliency! You have already been through so much, and the more challenges your endure the hardier you become, not in steeliness, but in love, in your hearts for you know deep down, even if you feel fearful or circumstances seem challenging or uncertain, that you are strong. You are brave. You are courageous. You are weathering the storm, and you know in your heart that a beautiful sunny day and possibly the most glorious rainbow, lie at the other end of the deluge. Your hearts are opening wide wide wide and we see, even in the resistance to the uncomfortable feeling of vulnerability that that can create, that you are leaning into it and allowing it, because despite the unruliness of the topsy turvy world you are witnessing unfold, you are also beginning to experience a new kind of inner peace and beauty that you have never felt in this life. Sometimes this may feel contradictory or maddening; how can I feel so much peace while there is so much suffering and unrest? Dear one, this is natural. Peace must begin somewhere. Isn’t in your heart a nice place for it to start? And as you are all one, eventually the tide of peace will ripple across the whole world. Did you know peace is far more contagious than fear? We know how hard this has been, and again we say do not be surprised if it gets harder. This is a birth. You are in labor with the new way of being, and the contractions are coming stronger and stronger. But in the end you will feel so much joy. You’ve got this. And we are here and we love you. Namaste.
