Melissa O’Neil Instagram – Calling you in to intercede with that inner voice that speaks through your heart. My heart is breaking as I continue to learn about the tragedy unfolding on Maui. Let us bond together and encourage each other to help where we can. You can send money either through organizations you trust or directly to families in need. There are a few google docs floating around that are frequently updated – there is one linked in my bio. If you are not abundant in cash at this time there are other ways for you to contribute. You can meditate/pray for them. It’s okay if you don’t find yourself in a regular practice of this, you can start at any time, you probably already do this naturally without even knowing. Intention and purposeful action has big currency. Find a quiet space for yourself and settle into your body. Sit comfortably and upright, with a tall spine. You can even set a timer if you like if it helps you to let go. Close your eyes, let your heart move you. Pray for the lands of Hawaii. Pray for all those who have been affected by this unimaginable event. Pray for the peoples of Maui. Pray for their strength to be fortified. Pray for their moments of rest to be deep and replenishing. Pray that all money and donations arrive quickly and safely to where they are needed the most. Pray that the people of Lahaina receive assistance, protection, safety, and justice through this current time and onward as they navigate the future. Pray that all are able to move through their grief in their own ways and in their own time. May a current of peace await them. There is going be an amplification of all the suffering that is taking place. I am trying to remind myself to stay informed and not look away simply because I can and have the privilege to do so. We can let it open our hearts and tune us into that ever widening circle that is holding Hawaii right now and amplifying these intentions and prayers. You are welcome to share your prayers, intentions in a comment below – in this way – maybe someone else will see it and include it in their meditation/prayer, too. Help in what ways you can. I know you have so much to offer. Even in a simple quiet moment.
