With all the hate-filled rhetoric in the ethers these days, it’s easy to get seduced by eye-for-an-eye vengeance. Retaliation feels good. It masquerades as justice. It feels like release. But it's really just escalation...and we know where that leads. 

Such feelings are part and parcel of human nature. They require care and attention to resolve. Here’s a prayer I recommend for realigning with the divine. Start authentically. Honor your energy. (Clench your jaw and grit your teeth, if you have to!) The repeat as needed, mantra-style:

Bless me. CHANGE THEM!!!!
Bless me. Change THEM!
Bless me. Change them.

Then, as the intensity fades, shift the prayer, staying authentic to your emotional energy:

Bless THEM. Change me.
Bless them. Change ME!!!

It’s not instantaneous. Sometimes it takes a few trips around the proverbial mulberry bush for the shift to happen. But keep at it.

I promise that little by little you’ll find more peace, more vitality, and deeper soul alignment. Because in blessing them, we bless ourselves. And in changing us ...we change the world.
