Now that the 2024 election has passed, our anxiety and fear have not abated. The stakes for many of us remain very high and we feel the coming danger acutely. As we move into the next phase of organizing together to survive, it is important to remember to care for ourselves and each other. With gratitude to Rev. Laura Solomon for her work on some of these materials, we offer a simple daily practice to help regulate our nervous systems and stay grounded in our faith and values.

Take a few minutes to listen without interruption to the song Sending You Light by Melanie DeMore, performed with Julie Wolf.
What thoughts, feelings, needs, and/or desires arise as you listen? How can you respond to them with love?
Lyrics:
I am sending you Light,
To heal you, to hold you
I am sending you Light,
To hold you in Love
I am sending you Light,
To heal you, to hold you
I am sending you Light,
To hold you in Love
For families, parents, and people of all ages: Engage your children or youth in the practice above, and listen to the music together. Ask them how the song made them feel, and what they thought the message was. Share your feelings and thoughts, too.
