Healing Love for Our Troubled World

Before you take flight, you picture roots growing from the soles of your feet, deep beneath the soil and wrapped around the rocks. Through them you draw in the planet's vital energy, feeling stronger and more loving with each second. It gives you a steady base for everything that follows.

Each place gives you a quality. The desert creatures, scorpions and spiders, bring resilience and courage. The old rainforest brings wisdom and appreciation for the oxygen its trees give. The wildflower meadow fills you with joy and a sense of purpose, while the dolphins offer a supporting energy at the start.

For a couple of minutes you picture yourself flying over different countries facing struggles, releasing a white light over them. You send a message of love, peace and harmony in your own way, aloud or silently, to the collective consciousness, wishing people strength and resilience. There is no script, so you choose the words.

When you rise into the atmosphere, you see the Earth as one small piece of a vast universe, like a single grain of sand among all the beaches. The meditation calls this humbling, and it is meant to deepen your gratitude for existing.

After you return to the ground and open your eyes, you repeat ten lines of thanks after the guide. They cover nourishing soil, diverse ecosystems, landscapes, renewable resources, the balance of nature, food and water, different cultures, natural wonders and the gift of existence. You also say aloud earlier, "I am grateful for planet Earth and I choose to protect it."

The opening describes you as something like a white blood cell moving through the planet's veins, helping clear sickness. It is an image to give you a sense of purpose and mission. The closing reminds you that taking part is already a change, and that you have the potential to make more.
