The weather in the Bay Area has turned colder. Autumn has finally arrived and with it Halloween and All Souls Day. It is a time of mystery and thinning of the veil between worlds.

Dressed for Autumn

It’s a good time to remember those who have passed, our ancestors and lineage. There is power in these connections, in the mystery of life and death and the unknowable.

Winter is coming with its scarcity, harsh weather, and diminishment of light. It reminds us of the inevitability of change and the necessity to adopt a larger perspective if we are to survive the darkness.

We could use a larger perspective during this difficult time in the world when the forces of destruction appear to be on the rise.

There is so much suffering and despair right now you can feel it in your bones.

It is as though we have fallen into the dream world of Tolkien’s The Lord of the Ring, and the Dark Lord is perilously close to reclaiming his full power.

Be heartened!

In this story, two hobbits, the smallest of the small, using courage and perseverance, change the outcome and restore the light and hope of the world.

Maybe like me, you are not up for a journey to Mordor, but you can make a difference by contributing your prayers and energetic support. Each of us has a part to play in transforming this time of destruction into the incubation for a new, kinder, more sustainable world.

Last week I invited you to boost the power of your intention by using one of the Arabic chants we voice in my Sufi Meditation class. 

Today, I ask you to use your meditation as a way to connect with the power of your lineage, ancestors, and those on the other side. There is strength in that connection. If you know the stories of bravery and courage, recall them and be inspired.

Let the thinning of the veil between worlds that occurs at this time of year and the higher frequency of our meditative state amplify your intentions. Not only will you magnify all that is good, but you will also empower yourself.

I hope you will join me tomorrow, Friday, October 27th at 9 a.m. for our regular Sufi Moving Meditation.

If you cannot join in person, I hope you will join in spirit and send your own message of peace, forgiveness, and transformation.
