Join me on my hike for some soul nourishment and replenishment as I share my radical thoughts on how we can each take responsibility for changing the world.
In this video, I will guide you to gently look at your own feelings with curiosity and investigate how you can make changes for yourself.
Mahatma Ghandi said “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
What does that mean? 
How can I have any impact on the world when there is so much violence and so many mass shootings and senseless murders?!
How can I make a difference to all the fear and anger in the world?
A common reaction is to become angry and frustrated and start pointing fingers at who is to blame for what is happening in the world. People are through with sending thoughts and prayers and are demanding that we affect actual change!
My radical suggestion is that we can affect actual change by looking inward and changing what is going inside of us.
Our thoughts and feelings are energy and we are always projecting them into the world. When we are angry and blaming and fearful and judgmental, we are sending those ‘energy rockets’ into the world.
Let’s look at these feelings and transmute them into something positive. Just like the butterfly can flap her wings and cause a tsunami, let’s intentionally be a tsunami of Love and Joy and Play, and send that wave out into the world!
If you are feeling angry, ask yourself:
- How am I contributing to the anger in the world?
- Who am I angry at?
- My boss?
- My neighbor?
- My family?
- Myself?
- If you are feeling judgmental, look deeper:
- How am I being judgmental in my own life?
- Who do I judge when I’m walking by them?
- How can I transform my inner judgment?
- If you are feeling afraid, ask:
- How can I transmute my fear?
- What am I afraid of in my own life?
- Putting myself out there?
- Being in a relationship?
- Being happy?
- What will other people think of me?
I encourage you to experiment with how you can embrace your own feelings, and recognize how you are the expression of that in the world. Begin to accept, with love, all of these parts of yourself and feel how your energy changes.
When you deny your feelings, stuff them down, and point fingers at others, you are unwittingly projecting the anger and fear into the world.
Martin Luther King, Jr told us that “Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that.”
You have the power to be the light that the world needs, simply by changing what is happening inside of yourself!
Take responsibility for your own feelings, and your reactions and what you decide to do with them. Accept all of the parts of you. It is empowering to be 100% responsible for ourselves; we give away our power when we blame and judge people.
I believe the reason we are here is to transmute these feelings that arise within and integrate the energies that move through us into LOVE. And to guide each other home and to remind each other that we are all LOVE.
Please join me, with Love.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
