R-E-S-P-E-C-T. What does it mean to you? What does it mean for our Mother Earth?

My spiritual teacher had a saying, “Do not let them eat your meat and then throw you!” This was his way of trying to teach me about commanding respect for myself. It was a long road for me, but I finally GOT IT!

For me, commanding respect means expecting to be treated fairly and kindly, and also commanding respect for my values and my rights to live in a way that I feel is fair for the planet and her inhabitants. This often means going against the grain of the mainstream practices.

When you feel a strong passion to live outside the norm, you will be challenged on your views. It can be difficult to stand your ground and not compromise or live in ways that feel unkind to ourselves, others and the planet. Share on X

I know a number of people who feel a strong passion to live their lives in ways that are outside of the norm. They/We continually meet challenges from people who do not want to change, and sometimes it’s difficult to stand your ground. We end up compromising and living in a way that feels unkind to ourselves, others, and the planet.

Can you relate? This Meditation & Healing Circle can help you unhook from the hold that others have on you and let go of your own need to conform to the pressures of the mainstream world.

Listen for a deep healing to help you break free from the pressure to choose a side in the current war and help you choose your authentic position for peace.

Here are the Divine Names we called on in this meditation:

Al-‘Aziz: Divine Strength
Al-Qawiyy: Strength of Spirit/Heart
Al-Matin: The Most Firm
