Yesterday I participated in a teleconference meditation to relieve ourselves of the anxiety, fear, insecurity, and negativity that continued and unrelenting stress has produced. Mary Swanson, a deeply wise spiritual woman, led the meditation for world peace. As the hour-long experience progressed, I felt enormously unburdened.
As Americans we are accustomed to being consumers. Now we are consuming anxiety and filling ourselves up with imaginings of worst case scenarios. According to Mary, by looping negativity through our minds and bodies, we are not only pushing out our own creativity, love, and kindness--the qualities we need to get through difficult times, but we are filling the planet with energy that will only hurt us and keep us apart.
Energy is real.
We must be conscious to bring love and kindness into ourselves, not allowing anxiety, insecurity, and self-doubt to consume us, and consequently making the world a more loving and kinder place.
Mary will be leading these meditations on the fourth Sunday of every month. Check out her website for more information.

One of the wonderful things about meditation is it can teach us how to choose to be more positive, loving, creative, compassionate & even confident. It's been my sitting practice for over 30 years; I don't strive for anything - I just slow myse;f down & emit good/better energy to myself & the world. I think I'm a better human being than I'd be without my Buddhist practice.
Meditation is available to everyone, it's free & it helps - even a little good energy is better than none. Global awareness of this can be wonderful.
