Meditate with Virginia Wednesday July 15, 2020 at 7:00 pm MDT

We are the people of the world.

We came to this world with the beautiful gift of diversity – different languages and races; different political and religious beliefs; different shapes and sizes, genders and sexual preferences; different cultures and monies; different continents and countries and communities. Different everything!

Earth allows us the privilege of being guests upon her precious soil. One of her greatest gifts to us here is a perfect example of harmony - the harmony found in Nature. Have you taken the time to appreciate the diversity of Nature? Have you listened to the music of the wind moving through trees, birds singing, and insects chirping, buzzing and squeaking? Have you seen the array of colors and shapes and ways of being that are represented in Nature? Can you appreciate how in their diversity, each and every one of them is perfect - just the way it is? It is the same with humanity.

We have the opportunity to experience tremendous diversity - and harmony - here on Earth. We also have a cognitive mind and free will. In every moment, we choose how we’ll perceive and react to what we experience. We can experience our diversity with wonder and joyful acceptance; or with fear, and rejection of things that we don’t understand or can’t control.

We live together on this beautiful planet called Earth. Here we can learn from nature, a perfect example of harmony. Humanity too will create harmony from our diversity one day, when we finally feel kindness toward each other’s

differences and are thankful for our shared journey of change and growth. We really can all be at peace, with ourselves and with each other. We have so much to be thankful for. We could start with that.

We are the people of the world.

I recommend watching this week’s video and looking over the suggestions for contemplation before Wednesday. When it’s time, watch the video once more, then enter into a quiet space of meditation.

This week’s video is, Thankful, sung by . Written by , and Richard Page. Video by Randa Victor. (Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBEI1F22uqE)

1. On Wednesday July 15, 2020 at 7:00 pm MDT play the video at the above link. Appreciate the humble and powerful energy of thankfulness.

2. Set your timer for 30 minutes. Settle comfortably in a quiet place.

3. Think of one thing that you are thankful for right now. a. In what way(s) does this contribute to your life? b. What would your life be like without it? c. How do you express your thankfulness for it?

4. Repeat step 3, a different thing that you are thankful for.

5. After 30 minutes, gently come back.

Remember, be thankful for everything. Show others how you feel. Being thankful is highly contagious.

With Love, Virginia
