We are living in a time of so much division among humanity. People are seeing fellow humans as "the other" and using dehumanizing words to describe the "others". Today however offers us a chance for some much needed healing from the trauma we are all experiencing right now. But, healing isn't an intellectual process so you cannot think your way into being healed. In fact, you need to feel to heal, even if it hurts first. And, today will offer us all the energy of heart expansion and a deepening of emotions to help us heal. Today allow your heart to open, even if you feel frightened or you would rather feel the power of your anger. Today, try opening your heart to experience what it is like for people who do not look like you or share your beliefs or values, instead of letting your ego protect you with rage and condemnation. In truth, we are all connected. But when we treat others as the "enemy" we feel that within our own energy fields, making the world feel pretty scary and volatile. Today, open your heart to have compassion for others, even if you don't understand or agree with them. Today recognize that deep down within us all is a being that wants to make their world better but right now we just don't know how. However, healing always starts with compassion, understanding and hope. Today, let your heart open and expand and let love and compassion lead you.

Just for today, I recognize that I am connected to all of Life. I create new memories filled with peace, goodwill and compassion for others. Divine peace and harmony dwell within me and all around me. I feel compassion, tolerance and love for all people, including myself. I release the need to blame anyone. We are all doing the best we can with the knowledge, understanding and awareness that we have right now. I am safe. I am willing to heal and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
