Helping to heal the world

From here, in this moment.

Deeper into the body, 
Deeper into the breathing,
Working my way downwards through being 
To the stillness in the root of the original mind.

An opening appears at the top of the head.
And energy flows downwards into being,
Openings in the feet and the hands 
And throughout the whole body 
An energy flows upward into being.

From the underwater kingdoms of the Nagas, 
All the way to the great heavens.
Being sounds its note within life, 
And I am here to receive it.

To care for others,
To begin to be filled 
With this essential element of the cosmos called compassion.

My attention is here to point every molecule in my body towards compassion.
And to make an effort to redirect myself 
From the negativity of my selfishness
Towards the positive charge for all of reality 
That is acquired when my attention
Is directed towards the welfare of others.

And as I remind myself of this law from within the stillness of being, a blessing arises.
For life wishes me to remember, 
To remember itself, 
To remember relationship
And to search for the lost quality of love,
Which is ever present,
But which I somehow take my eyes off of.

Already, as remembering begins,
The subtle energy of life and being fills the entire body 
So that every atom is realigned 
And I return not just to this new relationship,
Also I return to this original relationship
Which I have forgotten.

I breathe in the goodness here at the root being 
And I am reminded to point myself joyfully in this direction 
Throughout the day 
With sorrow as my brother
And compassion as my sister.

We will form a family today 
That reaches out to others in the warmth of relationship and life 
To help heal the world 
And make things better.
