So, reminders this that the Petri dish for fear beliefs is feeling separate, disconnected,

isolated, and not belonging.

To heal, to remember our intrinsic worth, we need to reconnect.

We need to find our way back into a sense of belonging to ourselves and to each other

and to our earth.

We need to reconnect in love.

In the moments that we feel, as I mentioned, inferior, our superior, we've lost touch

with that sense of worth, of that sacredness, our judgment of our self, of each other.

It obscures the goodness, the goal.

So the prayer here is that we'll deepen dedication to honoring our own intrinsic worth, because

that allows us to widen the circles so that we can realize the sacredness of all life

everywhere.

And this is absolutely needed for the healing of our world.

So, let's practice.

Let's take a few moments if you'd like to shift your positions so that you're comfortable.

Take a few full breaths.

Now, scanning your life.

You might bring to mind a repeated experience in a relationship that brings up suffering.

Could be with a partner or somebody else in your family, friend, somebody at work.
