  • learning obedience to higher laws
  • finding the support and connections we need to step out of survival based relationships like jobs and old world marriages

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 6 – Day 83 – 3/9/2019

Named Magical March 9 I AM Grace of Beloved

welcome, welcome to day 39 of a season of peace… today is another of my favorite moments in the cycle of life when we rest in the in between times moon, the rainbow moon who sings a song of transformation, of transmuting dark, threatening clouds of pain, into rainbow colored arcs of joy…

let us carry on today celebrating women, we’moon, we of the moon, the feminine spirit with a meditation given by Yogi Bhajan… it is said that when a woman practices this meditation for one year, her aura will become tipped with gold or silver and great strength and the beloved’s healing powers will flow through her… by practicing this meditation, a woman’s thoughts, behavior, personality and projection become aligned with the infinite beauty and nobility unveiled by the mantra which balances the five elements…

I AM Grace of Beloved

lying on back fully relaxing with eyes closed inhaling deeply through the belly and holding silently saying the mantra 10x while tensing the fingers to count… exhaling deeply and holding the breath silently saying the mantra 10x for five quintessential inhales and five quintessential exhales or a total of 100 mantras daily… I AM Grace of Beloved, I AM Grace of Beloved, I AM Grace of Beloved, I AM Grace of Beloved, I AM Grace of Beloved…

may all beings feel the amplified flow of grace and strength and radiance…
