Send Love -- It Matters
Sende Liebe - es ist von Bedeutungvon Carrie Newcomer
Irgendwo braucht jemand Hilfe.
Sende Liebe.
Es ist von Bedeutung.
Wenn du selbst nicht dorthin gehen kannst,
Dann atme tief ein.
Atme das Gewicht ihrer Sorgen ein,
Atme aus und schicke all diese Belastungen
ins Licht
Wo die Sorgen gehalten werden können
mit zärtlichster und unendlicher Gnade.
Atme ein, was du tun kannst.
Atme aus, was du nicht ändern kannst.
Setze Sie einen Faden der Verbindung in Gang.
Schicke Mut und Ruhe.
Denn die Nächte können lang sein
Und mit Schatten gefüllt
Und manchmal schrecklich
Unerwartete Wasser werden hochkommen.
Irgendwo braucht jemand Hilfe.
Sende Liebe.
Es ist von Bedeutung.

'Send Love' is the message that connects me to God and to others - allows me to ask God for His care and protection for me and to All. I Trust God sees and hears every prayer.

Being able to remember when all else seems hopeless we can send love to those in need helps me raise my vibration from one of despair. It stops thoughts of negativity that are linked to feeling we can't do anything.
By repeating this act we can come closer to realising we are love.
Sending love is a beautiful act.

Yesterday I spoke to my brother who lives in Seattle. I live in Boston. He has been going through a tough time and I have felt helpless. I found this prayer immensely comforting. I needed it today. I will probably need it every day!
Gratefully,
Lisa

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. I have recently started meditating and have realized that one can send out love, peace & joy. The other thing I have started doing is, if I remember someone, I take a few seconds to send them a msg of remembrance and best wishes. I have found people respond with joy and return the same. It has helped me reconnect with people.

The practice of Loving Kindness immediately comes to mind. As the purpose of a mindful meditation share 3 or 4 thoughts, first with yourself, then with maybe a friend, a loved one, someone who challenges you and close with all living beings.
Phrases could be -- May your heart be open to share love; May you be safe and protect others; may you be happy and share joy; may you be healthy and care for others and may you know the Spirit's presence.

Sending love to someone needing help means to me to abide in awareness of our oneness and be compassionate and suffer their distress together with them. I have breathed in the pain of the Ukrainian people by abiding in awareness that I and they are one, their pain is my pain, and by suffering at least to a small extent their pain together with them. I believe what helps the most would be to send all of me to physically be there and suffer together with them what they are suffering. It would of course be impractical and very difficult to be there with them, but it could be done. To say I can't doesn't make it so. My honest answer as to why I don't physically go there and be there with them is I don't care enough, it would be more difficult to do than I want to do, so I send my love by being there with them in awareness. I believe that helps a little.

"Somewhere someone needs help. Send love. It matters." writes Carrie Newcomer. Yes. We all sometimes need love to sustain life. When someone needs my loving and supportive hand I feel compassion
for that person and I do whatever I can. When I offer my hand uncnditionally to the other my heart is filled with love and joy. I believe all of us are endowed with the gift of love. When I send love to someone who needs help I experince oneness with the other person. It is fulfilling and joyful. It is a spiritual experince , an experience of untive consciousness.
We are witnessing a horrible war in Ukraine causing property and human destruction, innocent people suffering and dying. "Somewhere someone needs help." I deeply feel for people going through such suffering. I have chosen to breathe in the weight of their suffering.
I pray for them and make financial contrbutions to help them. I know there are many obstacles the Ukrainians are facing at this time. I know I am not capable of ... [View Full Comment]
