The Anahata Amulet
('No laughing matter')


Are you happy with you?
do you feel safe, strong and secure?
do you look after yourself
or
do you forget to take care?


Is the world around you happy?
Is it safe, strong and secure?
do you think about your actions towards it
or
do you just not care?


To be happy is hard ...
we are often broken
we often need help


Life is hard for our mother earth ...
she is broken by many of our actions
she needs our help


Anahata Chakra, located at our heart ... is our center of love for self and others
compassion, empathy and forgiveness,
unconditional love and joy


But ...
It needs protection ...


When open it allows us to see all the beauty and love around us
to connect to ourselves,
our loved ones
and
the natural world


It helps to direct love back to ourselves
to be able to love
and
accept ourselves
and
our bodies
to be happy


But ...

To be open it needs help
We need help


The elements they are strong
The elements they will help us


But ...

We need to give back
through our actions
through our thoughts

and
through our thanks


We should not just take or expect ...
as we have done for thousands of years


It is time to get serious about loving mother earth
loving ourselves

and

loving others


unconditionally

loving the elements

loving what they can give to us


and

giving thanks ​In order for us to take

To not take this seriously
As we glide towards an uncertain future

Is no laughing matter.
