There are invisible threads that run through us. Our great grandmother’s grief from her lost babies, our grandfather’s horror in war, the imprint and longing for our ancestors’ home country, colonialism (as perpetrator and victim), and religious and cultural conditioning.

These imprints are not to be dismissed, but seen, perhaps even honored, for how you came to be in life. Here. At this time. For your life could be no other way. You are here now.

If you wish to look understand underlying patterns in your life or any issue that is currently tugging at your heart, please join us this Saturday. We gather together as a group to witness and share, shift, heal, and celebrate.

A message for the collective:

Dear One,

The world is at your feet like a lost child or a pet who has been abandoned. Do not shy away. Pick her up. Care for her. Hold her gently. Love her.

How else are we to treat such a sacred, scared and traumatized being?

Getting angry, being fearful, abandoning hope does not work.

Only love and gentleness at this time can move us forward.

We too hold you all...all humans...with respect, love, hope, kindness and open arms.

Your task is to love without harm. And sometimes we see the conditions upon which you choose to formulate your love. Let go.

Only love. Only love. Only love.

How to navigate the world…

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18SK83eu27/?mibextid=wwXIfr

“How do we go on living our ordinary, comfortable lives while knowing that terrible suffering is going on every single day for so many people around the world? Can we ever make peace with that suffering?”

It is a brilliant question.
I have struggled with it myself for years.

I do not think you “make peace” with cruelty and violence.
Not today. Maybe never.
And why should you.

Look. I cannot tell you how to grieve or how to fight. I cannot tell you what to do. But I can suggest the following.

Let the suffering of the innocent and the oppressed move you. Let it break your heart. Let it hurt. Deeply. The pain itself means your heart is still working! You are not numb. You are not detached, cold, or indifferent. You are not bypassing your humanity.

You hurt because your brothers and sisters are hurting. You belong to the same river of humanity.

At the same time, you must accept a limit to your hurting, if you can. Remember, you did not cause this horror. You cannot carry all of it without being crushed by it yourself, without being destroyed by the weight of the world’s suffering. You can only carry what is truly yours.

So you choose how and when to engage, as much as possible. When to read. When to watch. When to talk about world events. When to listen. You do this consciously, deliberately.

Grief and anger have to be held in presence, not poured endlessly into your nervous system all day long without limits. That is not compassion. It is a fast track to burnout and helplessness.

So you breathe first. You find your ground. You return to your real responsibility each day. How you speak. How you treat the people around you. How you love your child, your partner, your neighbour. How you refuse to pass unconsciousness onwards. How you refuse to fuel numbness, hatred, or violence in your family, your community, your workplace, your town or city.

You do your own inner work. You look honestly at the violence and prejudice in yourself. You attend to your own childhood wounds. You look at the log in your own eye before pointing at the splinter in your neighbour’s. Healing your own trauma is not a distraction from saving the world. I truly believe it is part of how the world is saved.

And yes, of course, you can still protest. But not as permanent outrage. Not as more hatred layered on top of hatred. You act where action is possible. You show up. You speak. You vote. You give generously. You withhold consent.

And you do not let protest make you cruel! If your protest costs you your capacity to love, the damage has already spread.

And you rest too. You rest when you can. Rest is not a luxury. It is fuel. It is the source of all things.

And you allow joy, without apology and without guilt! Joy is not a betrayal of the cause. Joy is how you stop the violence from taking your soul too.

You shine your light, even when it feels impossibly dark.

And remember, there is no clean or easy way to live with all this. Anyone who says there is is being glib, or trying to sell you comfort way too cheaply. Being deeply affected by the world does not resolve neatly. It does not offer easy closure.

You may never be at peace with all the suffering in the world, but maybe you can make peace with THAT.

Finally, I’d say that it really is fu***ng brave to choose to stay awake, tender, open-hearted and curious in a world that keeps asking you to shut down.

8 Reasons to Join the Reiki Clinic This Sunday?

A simple, affordable way to receive care without committing to a full private session.

A chance to slow your body down (especially if it’s been running on overdrive all week).

You don’t have to “believe” anything or know anything about Reiki to come.

Time set aside where you’re not taking care of anyone else (this is my favorite reason LOL).

A quiet reset before the week begins again.

You will be working with practitioners who are actively training and genuinely present. They are focused and care about doing this well.

You are part of something reciprocal. You will be receiving, while also helping practitioners build skill and confidence.

It’s a gentle way to explore energy work if you’ve been curious but unsure.

Appointments are limited, and once the schedule is full, we cannot add more spots.

Appointment times are 12:00, 12:40, 1:20, 2:00, 2:40, 3:20. You are may enter your preferred time at registration. Times are not guaranteed until you register and The Curious Heart calls you to confirm.

If you’d like to come, register now to reserve your session.
