Cultivating Peace in Times of Grieving

What if we could harness the power of collective intention to manifest peace in our lives? Join me as I embark on a journey inspired by my sister's prophetic dream, As we explore the balancing of yin and yang, you'll be drawn into a tapestry of stories, including a transformative experience at Devil's Tower National Monument. This sacred site, known originally as Mato Tipila to Native Americans, resonates peace and offers lessons on how we can cultivate serenity through prayer.

In a world that often feels overwhelming, where can we find our equilibrium? Through moments of tranquility and restfulness, especially during the holiday gatherings with loved ones, we begin to reconnect with the peace within. By tapping into our heart's deeper remembrance, we unwrap a gift symbolized by a simple red ribbon, a reminder of the beauty of inner calm. Together, let's uncover the wisdom that guides us toward a more balanced and peaceful existence, fostering conscious evolution and collective harmony.

Thank you for tuning in and creating this space with me.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
I am creating an energy field for storytelling.
I am creating an energy fieldfor storytelling Aligning my
central channel, taking a breathin Inviting in the audience who

(00:44):
is here to benefit from thestories I have to share today.
I ask that my connection tosource energy bring through the
stories, the words and thewisdom to support this audience
in their conscious evolution.
It's 12-22-2024.

(01:33):
There is a stillness in thespace that I haven't felt here
before.
There are sages here, those whocarry a frequency of peace, of
serenity, of understanding.
It's quite comforting.
Today I'm going to talk aboutcultivating peace within.

(01:53):
I see the color white, like adove.
The night before I startedrecording this podcast, my
sister had a prophetic dreamthat she was in our family home
and a series of events occurred.
And among the things she saw inthe dream, she said that she
saw me in an illumined statenext to my cousin outside of the

(02:19):
house, and she said that therewere two doves flying out of my
neck and I hadn't told her aboutthe podcast.
I sent her the first episode acouple days later and she texted
me right away and said I haveto tell you about this dream.
My attention is focusing on thenumber two the yin and the yang

(02:40):
, the masculine, the feminine,the balance that we create in
life.
When I tune into what it feelslike to create peace within my
own life, I know that itincludes an equilibrium, a
balance between work and play,between giving and receiving,

(03:00):
between sharing and listening.
I would be lying to you if Isaid that I have experienced a
lot of peace in this life.
It's been quite the opposite.
For a very long time there havebeen experiences in my life
where I've gotten to taste peace, and not just peace from my own

(03:23):
monkey mind, but peace in likea full, visceral kind of way.
During the height of kovat,during the height of the
energetic chaos and confusion,my former partner Gr Gregory,
who has since passed away andtransitioned, and I drove up

(03:45):
from Colorado to Wyoming, to aplace called Devil's Tower
National Monument in thenortheast of Wyoming.
I think we had heard about thisplace from some friends.
I don't quite remember, but Iremember when I looked it up
online and I saw the structure,this incredible, enormous

(04:06):
cylindrical structure that ismade up of strands of earth that
look like geometrical tubes.
They all come together andthere is a plateau on top in the
most unusual way, and there isa plateau on top.

(04:26):
In the most unusual way,despite its name, this place is
the most peaceful place I'veever been.
To the surrounding land, hikingaround the structure, I had the
best two or three nights ofsleep in my life.
Camping nearby.
This is a sacred place where theNative Americans come.
Its true name by the NativeAmericans, who have told stories

(04:49):
about this structure forthousands of years, is Mato Te
Pila, which means bear lodge orbear rock.
Many, many tribes come to prayand they hang up colorful peace
flags around the structure andthey pray to their ancestors and
they give thanks.
I don't actually know if it isthe land itself, an energetic

(05:16):
vortex in that place, thatcreates the peace, or if it is
the prayers of the NativeAmerican tribes, or both.
If it is true that we have thepower to come together through
our intention and prayer andcreate places like that that
create such soothing, peace andrestfulness, what if we could do

(05:40):
it now on this planet?
What if we could dedicate thattime and attention to peace in
our homes and in our lives everysingle day?
For me, peace comes withstillness when I can just stop
and take a breath and moveinward and whatever is happening
inside of my body, whateverdiscomfort or movement.

(06:03):
I just take some time to stopand breathe and notice it and
then things start to move and Istart to settle back into my own
equilibrium inside.
Just saying that makes mystomach start to grumble.
I think I'm activating my ownparasympathetic nervous system.

(06:24):
Peace does seem to emerge withrestfulness and taking a break
from stress, the constant doingof life.
It's so wonderful to cometogether with family and friends
around the holidays and justhave nothing particular to do,
no work obligations, and justspend time together, resting and

(06:46):
sharing stories and cooking,listening to music.
I'm tuning into my heart'sdeeper remembrance of peace.
I can see a red ribbon.
It's like a gift.
It almost looks like it was ina knot or it was tied around my
heart and if I can just releaseit, untie it, untether with my

(07:08):
breath, it's like there's thismovement around my heart and a
coherence of this ribbon,streamlined, expanding, spinning
their spaciousness.
I feel it more than ever insideof my sacral center, in my
belly.
Where do you experience peaceinside of your body and how can

(07:31):
we experience more peace inrelationship to each other?
I'm watching all of you now andseeing what you're doing, I see
an image of two long lines ofpeople facing each other in
pairs.
Except the lines aren'tstraight, they're wavy like a

(07:54):
ribbon and then they turn intowater.
This flowing water, a fluidityof emotions, a new way of
nurturing each other, nurturingeach other.
Negative emotions and pain canfeel like a barrier to peace
within.
It's easy to try to ignore orsuppress them, but I notice in

(08:16):
my own experience, especially inthe process of grieving, that
it's so much easier to releaseand move those emotions with
other people.
To release and move thoseemotions with other people and
in fact there are times wheneven it feels difficult to

(08:36):
release them alone.
Grief is never an isolatedoccurrence.
When someone transitions, thereare many who feel the impact.
I'm aware that there are stagesof grief, sadness, anger, waves
of intensity, feeling like it'snot fair.
How could it be?
I'm having an interestingexperience.

(09:00):
Right now, grigori is here withme.
He's doing this thing that heused to do when he was in the
physical Whenever we werewalking or hiking a long
distance, he did this with me,and I saw him do this with
others too, if one of us wastired or had like a limp or was
dehydrated and needed an extrapush to keep going.

(09:23):
He would walk behind them andput his hand or a couple fingers
right in the middle of theirback, along their spine, and a
point I suppose is around T7 orT8 or maybe T6.
And it would be like this senseof equilibrium comes back when
you have someone else holdingthat space, being aware of your

(09:47):
body and your posture.
I don't think he was actuallyintending to give any energy to
the person of his own, but itwas like that fulcrum and then
you automatically took a deepbreath and came back into an
equilibrium.
He's doing that for me rightnow.
You could try this out with apartner and see how you feel.

(10:09):
Let me know you just put two orthree fingers on that spot in
the middle of the spine with theintention of support.
If we can create peace togetherby giving each other the space
to release emotions withoutjudgment, it's like peace is

(10:33):
like the bedrock of the riverbeneath the water.
It's a container, it holds andit allows the experiences of
life and emotions to flow overand through.
And where there is noresistance and there is just a
space of receptivity andequanimity, the experience of

(10:58):
peace arises.
On that final note, I wish youa peaceful holiday season.
Remember to be kind to eachother.
These moments together are allthat we have.
These moments together are allthat we have.
Thank you for listening andcreating the space to

(11:20):
contemplate peace.
Until next time, thank you.
