Surrendering: Relax and come into recognizing the current state of our global world. Begin to replace that fear with love and gratitude for this moment. Journal what comes up for you when you reflect on the state of humanity. Release control, and let yourself “rest” in this openness. Sit or walk in nature if possible as you do this reflection practice. Include the repetition of the Mantra above to channel the power of your Spiritual Warrior guides. Om Namah Shivaya
