We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

— Dalai Lama XIV

Karinna: I recently wrote about holding on to old memories from the past and how that can keep us focused in the third dimension, slowing our evolutionary growth. I became aware of this again the other day when a friend was feeling hurt about things that had happened years ago and directed anger at another friend, shutting her out without explaining why. I wanted to get a better understanding of the situation and the effect that negative thoughts have on us all, so I went into mediation. Suddenly, I felt my awareness rise above the Earth plane. Again I could sense an energetic weave of consciousness surrounding the planet. In a flash of awareness, I was guided to witness how our thoughts, words, and actions feed into and affect the collective consciousness surrounding Mother Earth.

As I sent my awareness into the weave, I felt connected to all living things and Mother Earth. I understood the power each thought has in creating more fear and anger or raising the vibration of the weave through more loving thoughts. Mother Ulura has reminded us about the creative power of our thoughts, and I really felt it in that meditation.
