Find your cheerleading squad. We all need people to remind us- to love everyone, that we are beautiful, that we can do it. the single most important factor in sustaining personal harmony and living your life from foundational integrity is having a support system. Where would any of us be without the people, places and teams that provide support to our efforts. That allow us to grow, that enable us to be “something different today than we were yesterday” that accepts all parts of who we truly are.

AWAKEN: CHEER, CHEER, CHEER, I NEEEEED THE LOVVVEEEE

There is a time, when you're not well and you will need someone to lean on. You may be challenged by the ups and downs and need support. We all need support, care and lots of love. By finding your people, those individuals that get you, that you don’t have to “work” to explain yourself around. Those safe people, places and spaces that honor your intention of simply knowing you are “good enough” just as you are when remembering that truth becomes difficult. This will be your “Love You” team and will hold the space for your continual flourishing and blossoming and be there providing nourishment through those times of hibernation sowing the seeds of your most radiant centered self with you in spirit weathering storms and cherishing successes become second nature in a process of energizing your inner flame.

The work of passing an assault weapon ban is the necessary work of the United States of America. We have a gun problem and a people who love guns problem. It begins and ends in our willingness to fully stand arm in arm, to organize, call, work to remove ever person in public office that is not aligned with the will for transformative loving, transparent removal of military assault weapons from our streets. What have you done today to make our streets safer, more loving, kinder? Is there one action you can make.

From Youtube: Gen Z voters discuss gun laws and police reform in the US. "When you are able to solve the root to every problem inside of this very corrupt world, we can see a reality where police officers can be abolished." Our systems are failing us, left and right. Five young voters discuss what matters to them most ahead of this year's midterm elections. Do they believe all guns should be banned? Where do they stand on defunding the police?

A euphemism sometimes used for Satyagraha is that it is a "silent force" or a "soul force" (a term also used by Martin Luther King Jr. during his famous "I Have a Dream" speech.) It is something to engage as part of every problem solving repertoire. MLK studied, met with and grew into this Mahatma Gandhi, term called Satyagraha (a name Gandhi invented meaning "adherence to truth") a truth so connective to all that is, it's force seeks to eliminate antagonisms without harming the antagonists themselves and seeks to transform or "purify" at a higher level. Embrace the power of your soul's force to be in alignment.


It arms the individual with moral power rather than physical power. Satyagraha is also described as a "universal force," as it essentially "makes no distinction between kinsmen and strangers, young and old, man and woman, friend and foe." It is a power that moves mountains, heals timelines and transforms the worlds.

AWAKEN: SOUL SISTER, SOUL SISTERHOOD

Connect to your soul's knowing. Feel its unerring wisdom. Listen to the soul's energies and deepen your practice of knowing you are powerful beyond measure. The soul knows where it belongs. Not some of the time. All of the time. When you strip everything away and get bare this fact sings.

LOVE ACTIVISM 💚🌱✨ A WAY FOR SWITCH

In recent years as more and more folks address the SA and violence against women and the unaddressed trauma from church, spiritual practice, transgressions, tech, entertainment, hospital, well, every industry, where folks have misused their power dynamics. Atonement for the assaults in sacred practices is the order of healing, clearing and reconnecting to powerful tools. Today we highlight the deep spiritual work involved in being accountable, transparant and do the necessary work to admit, shift, and transform the 3HO Foundation which was founded in July of 1969 by Yogi Bhajan (Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization) when he brought Kundalini Yoga to the West. His tenure was both, positive and problematic and the history of abuse, sexually, upheld dynamics, needed to be addressed to be able to move forward with sharing and practicing the traditions. The ongoing work began to be addressed in 2016/2017 as the me t00 movement broke free from the shadows.


Here in Hollywood hosted by Tyler Cassity, yogi and owner of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Every Tuesday he teaches a Kundalini Yoga class on the lawn helping grow a new day for 3HA. There are good folks doing the work, nourishing communities, sharing wisdom and offering a way through the chaos into connection.

THOUGHT SHIFTER/MEDICINE

It doesn't matter what path you choose, what form the exploration, just that you remove any blocks and keep yourself open. Your life to date, the pain and wounds, joy, laughter and love, all the love... you can use as a road map of how to find your way back to the space that knows. That lives in eternal joy and peace. That flourishes in a warm embrace. Get out into the world and take simple, loving actions.

From the 3HA website: Gutka Kriya: Using the Magic Mantra as a Gutka to Reverse Negative Energy.

  • 12-32 minutes

  • 3 exercises

Strength and power come from inner balance. Without this, we end up confused, degraded, upset, or depressed. This kriya uses the power of sound to cut through negativity and re-route the mind. The objective here is to reverse negative thinking.

This mantra is generally chanted out loud, but if circumstance makes that impossible, you can chant mentally. It will still be effective.

There is an exquisite light within each of us. Reconnect within. Turn up the light and shine bright. Making everything right. All you gotta do is keep it tight.

Day 61 NEXT 100 Days of Love Heart Art.  Radiate light Shining Bright Heart.
Day 61 NEXT 100 Days of Love Heart Art. Radiate light Shining Bright Heart.

AWAKEN: SHINING BRIGHT IN EVERY LIGHT. IT'S DARK SOME DAYS BUT STAY THE WAY. IT'S OUR DAY. IT'S, TODAYYYYYYY.

The inner work that clears the way for love to flow from you to all you meet is the way you forgive yourself and those you have unfinished business. We reconnect to our inner light, more deeply, as we forgive, ourselves for what we did not know, others what we could not act on, and that forgiveness ends the dreams, illusions (love less thinking) of any conflict that blocks our loving.

Our eternal light burns brightly within. As we remove all blocks that we have placed in front of our heart. As we remove the anchors to the past, we free up the present. Our forgiveness heals the past. forgiving but not forgetting the past frees us. In this way, all conflict must be resolved. It cannot be evaded, set aside, denied, disguised, seen somewhere else, called by another name, or hidden by deceit of any kind, if it would be escaped. It must be seen exactly as it is, where it is thought to be, in the reality which has been given it, and with the purpose that the mind accorded it. For only then are its defenses lifted, and the truth can shine upon it as it disappears. Invite forgiveness into your heart and all your light to shine.

As the end of the year closes, it is a time to consider where you want to spend your time, attention and funds. There are many non-profits, activists, organizations working to solve the problems in our communities.

THOUGHT SHIFTER/MEDICINE

"Around me the trees stir in their leaves

And call out, "Stay awhile."

The light flows from their branches.

And they call again, "It's simple," they say,

"and you too have come

into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled with light, and to shine.

From Youtube: Mary Oliver was one of our greatest and most beloved poets. She is often quoted by people across ages and backgrounds — and it’s fitting, since she described poetry as a sacred community ritual. “When you write a poem, you write it for anybody and everybody,” she said. Mary died on January 17, 2019, at the age of 83. She was a prolific and decorated poet whose honors included the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. In this 2015 conversation — one of the rare interviews she granted during her lifetime — she discussed the wisdom of the world, the salvation of poetry, and the life behind her writing. (Original Air Date: February 5, 2015)

About the Guest: Mary Oliver published over 25 books of poetry and prose, including “Dream Work,” “A Thousand Mornings,” and “A Poetry Handbook.” She won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1984 for her book “American Primitive.” Her final work, “Devotions,” is a curated collection of poetry from her more than 50-year career.
