A couple of mornings ago I was just completing a yoga nidra meditation when I got hit by a thought.
And I do mean hit.
But some incredible work and one fortune cookie later... I was alright.
The thought was about a time when I saw a young Black woman surrounded by a bunch of young guy "friends" in a subway.
I don't want to activate anybody, but it was not good.
That was at least twenty years ago--maybe even thirty.
And I was filled with the same regret, self-condemnation, guilt about not stopping the situation.
But on this particular morning, I decided to breathe into and imagine a new story.
I put myself back into that situation, and I decided to bring in my powerful woman warrior self.
You know which weapon she chose?
She prayed --
REALLY LOUD.
And the only prayer that I know by heart, that I can draw on in a panic, is the "Our Father who art in heaven."
Initially I resisted. Wanting to find something more divine feminine.
But we needed to go with what could connect me instantly to big power in that moment.
So I prayed and walked into the center of that mess, singing for emphasis and the guys all dispersed.
I shifted the energy with my voice.
I escorted the young woman home and sat with her as she recovered.
I wondered how to keep her safe.
She lived in New York.
She had to take the subway.
After a time of breathing, I had it!
I told her:
Before you go out, put yourself in a bubble.
Energetically surround yourself in a bubble of light; a forcefield of love.
Imagine that nothing can touch you without your permission.
When I came back to regular reality, I saw that the girl was, of course, myself and felt so much compassion.
I started to putter and came across that old Chinese fortune cookie message.
It's now on my altar.
I'm sharing this story now because the upcoming Spring Equinox is a portal for building self-trust.
And, if you find yourself regretting random sh*t from the past, then maybe it's time to journey with us toward self-trust.
