Just as we enter our 4th quarter of this year, horrible hurricanes have hit the Southeast United States. As I write to get this out, I am also writing a Global Healing Response for this disaster. Of course, there are still wars in Ukraine, Israel and Gaza, Africa and more. For some, the world seems very heavy right now. The “air” is heavy. We need to feel what we need to feel. And then we must take responsibility for what we are contributing to the “field” of energy that is connected through the air and what only appears to be nothingness. Because, as we know, there is no such thing as nothingness.
Perhaps the Balloonist’s Prayer below will be helpful to lift our spirits and add a higher vibration to the world. Thank you for all you do in the world to make it a better place.
Gratefully,
Ellen

THE BALLOONIST’S PRAYER
May the winds welcome you with softness.
May the sun bless you with its warm hands.
May you fly so high and so well that God joins you in laughter
And sets you gently back into the loving arms of Mother Earth.
