1. Understand that we have a monkey mind. It is a Buddhist concept that describes a state of restlessness, capriciousness, and lack of control in one’s thoughts.

A monkey mind is like monkeys and trees—it jumps from one thought to another incessantly. It often stops at certain thoughts before it jumps to another thought. This stop is what we call ‘worry.’ When we worry, we should know that worrying is a natural part of the thought’s process, but it requires awareness to stop it.

2. Step back and look at the bigger picture. I like to compare worrying to a plant. The more we water it, the more it grows. Worrying can drag us in—the more we worry, the more the situation becomes disturbing. A valuable solution is to take ourselves out of the situation and look at it from a different angle. See it objectively from an altered lens. When you do so, you’ll realize that the problem doesn’t require much worry.

3. Know that worrying won’t help in any way. Worrying can’t solve any problem.  As Glenn Turner wrote, ‘Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere.’  Remember all the times you worried in the past and try to investigate if your worry has helped in any way. Reflect on your present moment to see that worrying is only a waste of mental energy.

4. You’re not in control of everything. The reason why we worry is because we need to feel a sense of control over things. We hope to control the outcome, so we won’t have to face unwanted results. Know that what’s meant to happen will fall into place. Uncertainty isn’t terrifying. Befriend it and know it is a natural, smooth energy that only brings us the best.

5. Focus on the present. How we deal with our present determines our past and our future. That said, we can use our present moment to focus on what’s happening ‘now.’ When we practice mindfulness, we actually help with the realization of things falling into place. Things flow easier when we don’t push them to happen.

Judge no one; be critical of no one. Raise your consciousness until you can see the allness of All, the Oneness of the One. Love all your fellow humans; see them as One in My divine Love. When love is flowing there is not separation; all are united in that Love.

Love brings unity, brings peace of heart and mind. Love heals all wounds. Never sit back and say the world is in an awful mess, the country is in an awful mess but there is nothing much you as an individual can do to help the situation.

There is a tremendous amount each individual can do to help the whole situation. With love in your hearts and a complete surrendering of yourselves to Me to use you as I will, I can use you as channels to do much to help and to help many souls that are floundering around in darkness.

When you sit in peace and stillness together each day you become a tremendous power as the vibrations are raised and you open yourselves up and allow Me to use you to channel My divine Love and Light out into the

world and into the lives of individuals. You feel the tremendous linking up of all the forces of Light all over the world. You feel the links becoming stronger every day. You are My Light bearers.

Father, Mother, God,
Thank you for your presence
during the hard and mean days,
for then we have you to lean upon.
Thank you for your presence
during the bright and sunny days, for then we can share that which we have with those who have less.

And thank you for your presence
during the Holy Days, for then we are able to celebrate You and our
families and our friends.

For those who have no voice,

we ask you to speak.
For those who feel unworthy,
we ask you to pour your love out
in waterfalls of tenderness.

For those who live in pain,
we ask you to bathe them
in the river of your healing.
For those who are lonely, we ask
you to keep them company.
For those who are depressed,
we ask you to shower upon them
the light of hope.

Dear Creator, You, the borderless sea of substance,
we ask you to give to all the world
that which we most need – Peace.
