When I talk about this way of praying, and being very intentional about our thoughts and how we are wishing things for others, we all need assistance. Around the time I was writing my last blog, “Are You Praying Like This” (please read at link below before this one), I was also struggling with having the proper prayer so to speak about someone who I care about. And in talking with another family about this, I later had a dream. In this dream, I saw this person and I, and another family member all doing something we love together. It was beautiful.

So many of us have good intentions and want to pray for our loved ones. We also often pray for others without even thinking about it. We may worry about those we care about, and without thinking, we can also be sending them negative energy without realizing it or thinking about it. It’s hard to sometimes face that we do this, but all things begin with awareness. Are you worrying about someone in your family or community?

Sara and I discussed how we’re all getting to a point where we’re recognizing we’re all energetic beings. And I believe in my lifetime, we will all be telepathic. Or perhaps at least a bunch of us will, while others may not. I’ve been dealing with some people who aren’t looking at their shadows in the past week, and I say this because I could feel energetically their intentions, but their words or actions were misaligned to what I was feeling. Here’s my thoughts on all this…

We’re all spellcasters, and this isn’t some witchy woo woo business. It’s human nature. What you think you create. What you speak allows creation to come into being. We are powerful manifestors. There are spiritual scriptures that talk about this, and I know some of you can share some Bible quotes below on how powerful our minds and thoughts and words are. It pains me that we as a society keep propagating ways to play small and to disempower ourselves, often unknowingly.

Are you a worry wort, are you negative or angered easily? Is there something else you’d rather not share or wish would go away? Do you do things just like your mom or dad? We all take on parts and characters in our lives, and these stories have been passed down in our families we grow up with. We even sometimes say, he or she is “such a character”. This expression helps us see we each take on a role, and it doesn’t have to be permanent.

Let’s unzip this backpack that is full of things that are keeping us safe. Let’s see how many stuffed coats or layers are here to protect, and what compass or map is here for us to survey and discover, to make sense of, and finally what thoughts we attach to that help us bring justice to, innerstand more deeply, or feel important about. And it’s all fun and beautiful to carry around a backpack full of these things, as we are all going through life trying on different things, stepping into character, repurposing, sharing, gifting and finding our way. Life and improv are not so different. We can choose at any moment that we can DO and BE something different.
