Hello friends, A week ago today we were all holding our breath as the election took place. I created a personal bubble of calm: no news, no social media, just candles, grounding, calming frequency music, and a mantra. I chanted while walking, doing dishes, and meditating: Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu: “May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.” Along with voting, making phone calls, and sending postcards, I hoped all the positive energy would make a difference. At the very least, it protected my nervous system—something we’ll need as we gather our strength to persevere. Below is a collection of readings sent to me by friends and family that have helped me process. I hope they resonate with you as well. As we move forward, I feel deeply grateful for this incredible community we share—full of smart, motivated, inspiring, kind, and loving people. Even in sadness and disbelief, everyone showed up in their own way, and we’ll continue to do so. My wish for all of us is that you know: YOU matter, YOU make a difference, YOU are loved, and YOU can do this! It will take small and enduring actions, but we’ll get there. One small step at a time—one breath, one yoga class, one act of kindness, one hug, one connection, one idea…WE got this! Sending lots of love and light, Lynn
