    1,000 Days of Conflict: The Human Cost of War in Ukraine
    2024/11/21
    In this poignant episode, we delve deep into the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine that has resulted with the country's war with Russia, which has now passed its grim 1,000-day milestone. In particular, we explore the devastating impact on ordinary Ukrainians, whose lives have been upended by the conflict in so many ways. As always, we invite listeners to join in collective intention and prayers, willing comfort and strength for the countless individuals affected by loss, trauma, and hardship, and homing in to see where our intentions might be specifically focused. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as Ukraine continues its weary and unrelenting war with Russia, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all Ukrainian citizens will be guided and protected in coping with all emotional, mental and physical effects on their lives resulting from their country’s war with Russia. Please join us in holding this.

    1,000 Days of War: Russia
    2024/11/14
    As the Russia-Ukraine war nears its grim 1,000-day milestone, in the first of two special episodes, we consider how the conflict has affected the lives of the many ordinary citizens who have had no part to play on the battlefields and in the corridors of power on both sides of the conflict. As always, we focus on where our intentions and prayers may be most needed. This week, we look at how the war is affecting citizens in Russia. Suggested Intention Focus for this week: This week, as Russian citizens continue to bear the impacts of their country’s war with Ukraine, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all Russian citizens will be guided and protected in coping with all emotional, mental and physical effects on their lives resulting from their country’s war with Ukraine.

  • Paradise Lost or Gained: Dealing with Disappointment or Joy in the Wake of the US Elections

    Paradise Lost or Gained: Dealing with Disappointment or Joy in the Wake of the US Elections
    2024/11/07
    In this week's episode, as the results of the US elections become known, we focus on contrasting themes of disappointment and joy, and how to deal with these in an environment that has been especially polarized. As both US citizens and others process the results, we discuss how individuals on both sides can find peace and unity through compassion and understanding, and offer practical suggestions for dealing both with fear, disappointment and anxiety, and for handling joy and celebration with equanimity and empathy for supporters of a losing side. We reflect on the vision of a harmonious society, drawing inspiration from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s concept of a "Beloved Community," in which justice, equality, and love for all humanity prevail. We ask whether this is a Utopian ideal or one that can be put into practice to bridge divides and foster mutual respect in a polarized world? Crucially, in the days following the vote, we look at where our intentions and prayers might now be focused. Whether you are celebrating or mourning, this episode provides guidance on navigating emotions with grace, encouraging a collective intention towards healing and unity. Tune in and discover how we can each contribute to a more harmonious world, while perhaps receiving some comfort and hope if you are among those now feeling despondent. Suggested Intention Focus for this Week: This week, as the US comes to terms with the election of Donald Trump for a second term as its President, following a heavily contested election, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all US citizens will be moved by compassion to respect and love their fellow countryfolk, even though they may dislike their politics, words and actions. Please join us in holding this.

  • Self-Caring During Challenging Times

    Self-Caring During Challenging Times
    2024/11/01
    This week we delve into the crucial topic of self-care amidst the intense energy surrounding the upcoming U.S. presidential election. With the election described as one of the most pivotal in modern times, we explore the emotional toll it may take on individuals and communities, emphasizing the importance of maintaining peaceable relations and not being triggered by often polar opposite views. The episode explores how intention, prayer, and meditation can impact us energetically, highlighting the necessity of releasing energies that don't serve us. We discuss the power of the breath in maintaining calm, the significance of the torus field as a protective energy barrier, and the transformative practice of Tonglen for cultivating compassion. We suggest practical techniques for managing energy and stress, including mindfulness, visualization, and connecting with one's guardian angels. Suggested Intention Focus for this week: This week, as we recognise the potential for becoming uncentred, agitated or ill at ease during an especially tense time for millions of people across the US, we suggest holding as our main intention a personal resolve: I resolve that, in unity with others who hold intentions with me, I will take time to release any energy that doesn’t serve me after holding intention, and not neglect to attend to my own self-care. Please join us in holding this. Legacy Labyrinth Project US election eve labyrinth walk: https://legacylabyrinthproject.kindful.com/register/election-eve-walk-2024 Listen to Ellen’s conversation with Brother Dave in our episode ‘How to be Mindful when Bad Things Happen–Brother Dave’: https://www.heartfulimpact.com/e/how-to-be-mindful-when-bad-things-happen%e2%80%93brother-dave/ A possible prayer for self-caring following intention sending: Thank you (Universe/Spirit/God) for filling my heart with lovingkindness during this practice. Now, please release me from me anything that will not benefit me, taking from me any draining, negative or harmful energy that may have come to me during this practice. Thank you. I love you. Breathing cycle intentions: Breathing in, I invite lovingkindness and pure, divine light energy to fill me. Breathing out, I send [my intention or lovingkindness] to [the person, people, or whoever or whatever is the focus of my intention] (during intention holding) Breathing out, I release all that doesn’t now serve me (after intention holding).

  • Global Healing Response: Air

    Global Healing Response: Air
    2024/10/24
    In this episode, as Global Healing Response turns its attention to the element of Air, we focus on the crucial significance of air in sustaining life on Earth. Air's role in supporting life goes far beyond respiration. It influences the water cycle, weather systems, and plant reproduction, while also playing a critical part in climate regulation and photosynthesis. We explore how air quality impacts human health and well-being, contributing to respiratory and cardiovascular issues and even affecting mental health. We examine the disproportionate effects of air pollution on vulnerable communities and consider where we might offer our collective intentions and prayers in such areas as appealing for governmental responsibility, individual mindfulness, and innovative solutions to reduce carbon emissions and harness wind energy. Suggested Intention Focus for this week: This week, as we consider the many ways all life on Earth is dependent on air, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all of humanity will be made aware of and be moved to responsible action in how we contribute to influencing the quality and composition of our planet’s atmosphere.

    Hurricanes Helene and Milton: Collective Healing and Long-Term Impacts
    2024/10/17
    In this episode we reflect upon the aftermath of the recent major hurricanes that have wreaked havoc across the southeastern United States during recent weeks, Hurricanes Helene and Milton. We examine the devastation caused by these powerful storms and explore where our collective intentions, prayers, and meditation may be focused. We consider both the immediate and often unseen and often forgotten longer-term impacts of these hurricanes, including economic losses, environmental contamination, and the ongoing challenges faced by vulnerable communities. We also highlight the extraordinary response efforts by local and federal agencies, and the importance of continued support and wisdom in rebuilding and recovery. Learn how you can participate in a Global Healing Response to the hurricanes on October 26th, and join us in holding intentions for those affected by these storms.

    2024/10/10
    This week, we explore the critical intersection of mental health and the workplace, as World Mental Health Day is marked by the World Federation for Mental Health, World Health Organisation and others. We consider the importance of mental health awareness in the workplace, discussing its impact on productivity, employee well-being, and societal health. The episode highlights the World Federation for Mental Health's campaign focus on mental health at work, addressing the challenges of stigma, discrimination, and inadequate support systems. We look at the importance of creating supportive work environments and the role of leadership in destigmatizing mental health issues, but also consider employer perspectives on what can be done, and how actions to combat mental health may impact their bottom lines. As always, we look at where we may hold specific intentions and home in with our prayers. Suggested focus for this week This week, as the World Federation for Mental Health, WHO and other prominent organisations highlight the rights of workers suffering poor mental health to be supported and destigmatized, we suggest holding as our main focus for intention this week: We will that the World Federation for Mental Health’s campaign this year will be very widely heard by HR policy makers, management trainers, and leaders of all employers worldwide, and they will be moved to carefully consider and act upon its call to prioritize mental health in the workplace, and to foster productive and supportive atmospheres in which both employees and organizations can thrive. Please join us in holding this. And please share with us in holding intention for those effected by the passage of Hurricane Milton: We will that every possible resource and assistance is immediately available to those in need from the results of the storms in the South Eastern United States.

  • The Dire Plight of Afghanistan's Women and Girls

    The Dire Plight of Afghanistan's Women and Girls
    2024/10/04
    In an especially powerful episode, we focus on the desperate situation of Afghanistan's women and girls 3 years after the Taliban regained control if the country. We look at the severe restrictions they face, and consider the effects of the rollback of freedoms that they had gained over the past two decades, not least, in a denial of secondary education to girls, effective imprisonment of women in their homes, and the seemingly bleak prospect for change any time soon. The episode sheds light on the urgent need for global awareness and action in response to the harsh realities faced by Afghan women today, and looks at where we may focus our intentions and prayer Suggested intention for this week This week, as we contemplate the poor opportunities offered to girls under the Taliban’s rule in Afghanistan, we suggest holding this week as our main focus for intention: We will that there will be a movement of compassion among the Taliban’s leadership and all who have influence on its decision-making to immediately reestablish secondary school education for all Afghan girls. Please join us in holding this.
