* Activation Alert* This reading is from God of Love By Mirabai Starr and is an essay on trauma and forgiveness. This is an invitation into healing, grace and forgiveness for anyone who is a survivor of  any form of abuse from childhood. May it be a support on your journey to healing and wholeness. May it be a prayer / blessing for ALL those who need grace and forgiveness, including ourselves. May it be a meditation for all children who suffer and help us all move into the world we dream and vision into, where all humans are cared for and respected. 

This reflection is about taking time to rest the land, and ourselves. It's about being a creator in service over a consumer of information. It's about alignment and coherence in how we speak and communicate our power. You can integrate more deeply with us at lolacommunity.com or pleasance@lilomm.com. 

This is a practice by Martha Beck from the Way of Integrity. 

May it provide you access to the Compassionate Witness.

Today I share with you some deeper teachings around Welcoming the Sabbath Queen and ways you can sit with, hold and cherish your own Sabbath practice as a way to honor life and death and take a breath and a pause for your soul. I share Batya Levine's beautiful, Lecha Dodi, about the Welcoming of the Sabbath Bride and Queen into our hearts and homes, https://batyalevine.bandcamp.com/album/karov. 

I recommend a " Sabbath practice" in the same time/ day of the week each week - no matter what your beliefs are. It's really about the soul pause, the time to listen to your inner self and to sit with the compassionate one.. try it, relax and enjoy.
