There’s no wrong way to do metta or lovingkindness. Sometimes the practice of cultivating lovingkindness is simply to radiate love without words. Sometimes it’s to begin by holding yourself with kindness.

Lovingkindness can be an antidote to anxiety and fear. We become more gracious with the difficulties of life as we open the heart.

Seth Godin in conversation with Debbie Millman

If you're reading this, chances are that your life, or the life of someone you know, is shaped by pain—and by the physical and emotional suffering that usually accompany it.
Mindfulness of breathing—how to “put out the welcome mat” for whatever arises in one's experience
What to do about pain—how to work with intense and unwanted sensations
Working with thoughts and emotions—how to avoid identifying with your experience of pain and instead see sensations and thoughts as sensations and thoughts
Resting in awareness—a three-minute mindful pause to restore balance, resilience, and self-compassion
Mindfulness in everyday life—allowing the nitty-gritty of one's daily life to be both the ultimate meditation teacher and the real meditation practice

R. Strauss: Violin Sonata in E-flat major / Marie Schreer & Maria Levandovskaya [LIVE]

Sekhmet is one of the oldest known Egyptian deities. Her name is derived from the Egyptian word "Sekhem" which means "power" or "might". Other titles include: “The Devouring One,” “Warrior Goddess,” “Protectress of the Divine Order,” “Lady of Jubilation” and “The Beautiful Light,” Sekhmet, the divine manifestation of the lioness-woman, encompassed all of these aspects. She was called upon by royalty, warriors, healers and priests, for Her strength and power. She was truly known also as, “The Incomparable One.” She is depicted as a lion-headed woman, often with a sun disc on her head.  She was also closely associated with Hathor (the goddess of music, dance, sexual love, pregnancy and birth) and She was seen as the warrior aspect of Hathor. She was also, most importantly, the patron of physicians, and healers and was worshipped as a goddess of healing. 

The Goddess Sekhmet has strong connections for Starseeds with Sirian connections and especially Blue-Ray Starseeds. For those on the path who are awakening Sekhmet comes as a healing force of love. For those resisting the path Sekhmet often appears in her fierce warrior aspect.  

In this transmission, we meet the Goddess Sekhmet in a temple on the earth-plane. Here you will release any trauma you are holding around being a healer or working as a master of light. Then you will be transported by Sekhmet to a Sirian Temple of Light, guarded by Sirian Archangels and Masters of Light. Here, Sekhmet and many light beings will work on your energy fields awakening memories and channels of power to a lifetime where you worked as a healer or master of light.

Philip Daniel - Unmuted (Piano Day 2019 Exclusive)

This meditation is designed to help with the many interlocking elements that has created this current Global Fear Pandemic. 

The first element is that of the Ascension process which is essentially a conflict between the old 'dark' paradigm and the emerging new paradigm of spiritual evolution and light. This level of the meditation clears out the fear you may have absorbed from the collective. This fear is being deliberately amplified by the corporate media machine (that is highly controlled by anti-light forces). This level clears with ultra-violet fire the gut and throat chakra.

The second element is that of collective guilt. Over the past few centuries the collective has been increasingly out of balance with nature. There is a collective trashing the planet, with unethical farming and fishing. Many species are becioming extinct. Gaia is now reacting. This level clears the heart and lungs with ultra-violet fire.

The next level is collective trauma – all kingdoms on the earth are suffering trauma because of the impact of unconscious governance and living on the planet. The nervous system is swept with ultra-violet fire.

Finally, there is the level of collective anger, helplessness and despair as far too many are stuck in survival mode. The liver, bladder and gut are swept with ultra-violet fire.

Then we work on shielding you from the new invasive cellular technologies that were introduced at the end of 2019. These are generating microwaves that are impacting the body and our energy fields. We call on the Crystalline Grid to create a Shield of Light. This shield is aided by Crystal Devas of Black Tourmaline and Shungite. Also, Devas of Orgonite and Tachyon. Also, Tree Devas to shield and cleanse your aura of the new microwave frequencies. Then we call upon the angelic energies of ultramarine blue and gold to infuse different parts of the body, especially the throat and lungs.

Then we can call on more healing and supportive energies. We call upon the angelic energies of ultramarine blue and gold to infuse different parts of the body, especially the throat and lungs. When this is done we ask your Body Elemental to synch with the guidance of your HS and team in Spirit to allow you to be guided towards certain beneficial situations and away from potential harmful or limiting situations. Steering clear of pointless drama or suffering. We then ask for any guidance or requirements to shift your lifestyle more in line with the 5D timeline, including: nutrition, exercise, activities, situations and people.

Finally, we can align with the positive intentions and outcomes of this situation. The collective invoked and allowed this crisis for a number of reasons. These positive outcomes are likely to occur further down the line. These include changes to the way we work, to money, to education, and to the quality of governance around the planet.

Wellness Shield Meditation: Calling on Gaia and Angelic Support.

As we face our fears, stress and anxiety due to the current pandemic. I have created this song in a deep meditation. Improvised in one take and recorded live in the moment. The vibration coming through was guided by the archangels  I hope that those who listen find this useful to release your fears and anxieties , allow the angels to take them away from you. Turn off your TV. Quite your mind. Slow your breath. Put on your headphones and listen deeply.

The light of angels

Rick Batyr- the light of angels

Throughout the quarantine, I've been playing and listening to a lot of instrumental music, especially just piano as it's always been something to help me find a moment of calm. 

I've also been thinking of the phrase 'one day at a time' a lot and felt it was an appropriate title for a little improvisation I recorded today. I hope you're all safe and hanging in there, and that this song brings you a bit of peace the way it does for me. - Steve

P.S. The artwork is from my first trip to California from the beginning of February, when things were quite a bit calmer.

One Day at a Time (Piano Improvisation)

Compassion is the tenderness of the heart when it encounters suffering. For the circle of compassion to flow it requires the care of those suffering around you but that circle must include one other being–yourself.
