Hi Lucky Charms,

I understand. I use a variety of tools to help me - all through my life. .
^^^ Try the lovingkindness meditation or prayer. You can use your own words, it’s the opening of one’s heart that creates the space . I send blessings not only to friends and families but to those who have harmed me or others. In the political sphere, Yes . The angry , narcissistic, jealous, and cruel people do need to be surrounded by love and light. Perhaps they will reach out and let the Beauty inside.

May You Walk In Beauty!


Some Ideaa:
Chanting, Mantras
Affirmations,
Listening to Solfeggio frequencies,
Aromatherapy oils and sprays
Sleep mask for calm ( lavender )

Please DM if you wish me to send you more resources or would like to discuss more. Also, anyone else.

——-
And reciting the METTA Sutta ( Loving-Kindness chant)
