RACISM: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior.

How many times will this energy resurface until we finally ‘get it’? How many times will we play out the abuser or the victim? How many times will we allow ourselves to be swept away by our lower animal instincts?

We cannot transform that which we aren’t aware; we cannot transform that which we don’t properly understand; we cannot let go of what we aren’t willing to forgive…

May this be the time we understand and transform. In this now moment and as long as it takes!

Let us shed our personal and collective ignorance and be willing to walk into the fire of transformation together. For what is happening ‘out there’ is merely a reflection of what is happening inside each and every one of us. This is why we have missed it, the key to transformation is waiting within. We each have direct responsibility and powerful opportunities to make meaningful change within ourselves.  

Stop! Expose and Dismantle this energy. Allow our true self to emerge.

Please take a deep breath with me and let it out slowly. This breath is for all those who cannot breathe, for all of those who have suffered at the hands of racism. This breath is for all the social and economic injustice, all the pain and suffering, all of the tragic reality of having to live in a world with racism.

I’m sorry, please forgive me, I love you. We do better together.

Please take another breath with me and let it out slowly. This breath is for all those who are caught in the grips of fear, in the grips of needing to be superior. This breath is for all those who carry pain and suffering in their heart with no other way to release it.

I’m sorry, please forgive me, I love you. We do better together.

Please take another breath with me and let it out slowly. This breath is for our parents, our grandparents and all of our ancestors. For each of us is the living, breathing representative of our own family tree. As such, each of us carries ancestral energies of pain and suffering, injustice, guilt and shame, remorse for ancient racial wounds and therefore each of us has immediate access to its recognition and forgiveness.

I’m sorry, please forgive me, I love you. We do better together.

Please take another breath with me and let it out slowly. This breath is for those who would incite or partake in violence for the experience of violence itself, or those that would outright manipulate our citizens and culture to meet their own subversive agenda with the purpose of dividing America.

Stop! Expose and Dismantle this energy. Allow the Highest Good for All to emerge.

Please take another breath with me and let it out slowly. This breath is for all the times each of us has acted racist in situations that are beyond skin color. Maybe it is intolerance of another’s ideas or bigotry of another’s political beliefs. Maybe it is the belief that one’s own opinion is superior.

I’m sorry, please forgive me, I love you. We do better together.

Together let us be AWARE, let us UNDERSTAND, and let us FORGIVE so we can finally, totally and completely LET IT GO!!
