Dear Soulful Sisters,

How beautiful to be with so many of you on the call yesterday! Thank you for joining Barbara Marx Hubbard and us in sacred community and for your willingness to move through the fear of what is currently unfolding on our planet. We felt you all opening to the embrace of love - it was palpable and powerful!

To help you continue the sacred practice we shared on yesterday's call, we've included it below so you can take this deeply into your day today and throughout the week.

In addition, in light of the recent tragedy in Japan, we invite you to join with us in a brief meditation TODAY at 4:00pm Pacific . So wherever you are, take a few minutes to pause at this time, and join hands and hearts with us, as we collectively send a tidal wave of healing love and energy to the people of Japan. (Tip: Take a moment right now to set an alarm on your phone or computer, so you'll be reminded!)

Our beloved elder teacher Ariel Spilsbury was holding meditative space the morning of our call and shared the following message she received about the recent events:

"In meditation today, it became so clear in my listening to our Mother, that what has just happened in the Tsunami on Earth is the breaking of the waters of the amniotic fluid for planetary birth . (The Mayans call it the 9th wave which just began simultaneously). And I, for one, am celebrating. Of course, at the same time holding in compassion all beings who are being adversely affected.

Rather, let us stay focused in keeping out of fear and expand into the frequency of joy and unconditional love ! That is the best "protection" we can have. Let us join together in community to celebrate in love, our transformation, which is more important to nurture than ever."

To us it's a very clear message: the time is now to create sacred communities that can hold depth and empty presence and allow for this new story to be born within each one of us .

We all need a community that holds us in the frequency of love - when everything around us is signaling that we need to be in fear. We need to be in the constant remembering of this now.

And as Barbara Marx Hubbard said yesterday, we are in a collective birthing process . Now more than ever we as women need to ground ourselves in sacred practices - to move from the small ego being to the "knowing" of our universal being, our Oneness with everything. Only then can we awaken our hearts and embrace a greater-than-imagined possibility for ourselves and our planet.

One of the ways we can transmute fear into love is through a simple and profound practice we shared on the live call yesterday:
Breathe deeply in and out 3 times deeply. Allow your exhale to be slightly longer and softer than your inhale.
Feel into your body and notice any part where you feel tightness, constriction, blockages, numbness, pain or fear.
Bring your loving awareness to this part of your body or place inside of you, and slowly breathe there. Make contact with the pain or fear, and welcome it
On your next breath imagine the arms of the divine great mother deeply embracing you. Feel her holding you, or visualize her arms around you, or hear her whispering words of comfort in your ear
Allow yourself to be soothed; allow any fear or pain to be transmuted by the embrace of the divine
On your next in breath, begin to notice the softening of any blockages or tightness, and bring the energy of love - the embrace of the divine - to that area. Know that it's reminding you that you are not alone; you are always held; and you are One with everything.

The shorthand for this practice is:
Breathe into fear (or pain)
Breathe out love
Breathe into love
Breathe out fear (or pain)

If you would like to be part of a soulful community of women and be deeply supported in your path, we invite you to join us, Barbara, Ariel and other amazing teachers for our upcoming Soulful Women: Sacred Practices to Awaken Your Joy and Nourish Your Spirit course. This course, which starts March 23rd, is an opportunity for you to truly transmute fear, be the frequency of love and spread that potent energy like wildfire wherever you go.

If not with us, we urge you to heed the call to "walk your talk" seriously at this time. The quickening is now. There has never been a time when holding our awareness in centered peace is more important than in this moment. We invite you to join us! With love,
Devaa & Elayne
