With all the explosion of information we are being bombarded by every single day, telling us (rightly) how to protect ourselves in these challenging days, the truth is that LOVE is still our best defense.
     Defense is not a word I equate with Love certainly on most days, but an outpouring of love, genuine heartfelt Love just now is what is being asked of us. This I truly believe and hear from the Angels and guides all the time, when in the stillness of my own heart.
     The heart is where Love resides and it cannot reside alongside of Fear. Fear replaces Love and therefore Love remains, I repeat, our best defense.
     Perhaps it is also a good time to sit with and examine what these fears are rooted in. When we have those moments when we are being propelled forward by fears, take a moment or moments to sit with fear, hold its hand and ask it what it’s doing here. What is the purpose of fear? Is it fear of death or the death of those around us? That is a real fear, indeed. However as much as we try to shy away from it, death is an inevitable part of life.
     Did you ever watch an animal when they are close to dying? Do they seem fearful? Animals are not afraid of death for they know it is only the death of the Spirit, not the death of the spark of life within them. They are never fearful of dying and nor should we be. Instead if we wish to LIVE and live fully, we could choose to instead embrace LOVE as our guide, LOVE as the emotion of choice. Using LOVE as our best defense against fear, not actually against dying because we are all headed in the same direction eventually, the death of our bodies. LOVE never dies, it is eternal just as our own Spirits are eternal.
     The Angels ask that you turn to them as they are filled with LOVE and waiting to remind you of that same LOVE that resides within you. Keep HOPE alive, keep LOVE alive and see how much of it you can access within yourself today. Watch for my next meditation where we will access the LOVE of our own hearts with Reiki and our animals.
     The light of LOVE in me sees and honors the light of LOVE in you. Namaste.
