Following Cindy’s opening meditation (Starts at 2min 18sec and ends at 8min 14 sec ) which really helped with grounding our energy and to receive information from source. The discussion started where we finished our last episode, by contemplating the metaphor of the lighthouse.
Mark shared a story on how he ‘healed’ his grass and the discussion started with how we can share our light with others. Val shared how walking on the earth can be a process of sharing energy with the earth which reminded the group of ancient pilgrimages like the Camino in Spain. Cindy brought in the view of how indigenous people work in harmony with the earth.
Jen brought up the topic of the mistreatment of the indigenous people of Australia which led to a fascinating discussion on how one can heal communities displaced colonialists in the past which Cindy took further in a discussion that lead to some discomfort.
Mark shared an example of a building that had been expropriated from the community under the apartheid government and how they had done an energy clearing of this building that included atonement towards the people who were wronged.
The conversation went wider to communities and countries that have experiences injustice and to what can be done about it. Alex gave some more examples of this from her travels around the world. As often happens, the conversation brought up as many questions as it answered.
The conversation took a twist to ‘mindfulness beneficiaries’ before Val brought up some Xavier Rudd Lyrics from a song called ‘Land Rights’ :
“because it was sacred, because it was home
because these were feelings, from so long ago
they listened to the spirits, that came up strong
they all pulled together, to sing their song
this is how they did it, spears by their side
they stood on the mountain, for their land rights
all the people noticed, the movement took flight
they said this is our home, these are our rights
this is our home, these are our rights”
Alex then explored the concept of land ownership and scarcity which Jen described as utopia before reminding us that people often react from their trauma which led the discussion towards the need for healing and for us to row in the same direction. E-mail us your comments and questions.
