It is clear that in this time of transition, when people are dying and leaving the planet for any number of reasons, that we will feel grief. The Angels say that grief is the emotion of loss and that loss is an illusion of the physical body; of the degree of separation that one feels from others and from God/Creator/Universe.
Feel no grief at this time. We are all one.
While scientists have been trying for years to prove the power of prayer in terms of healing people, no group has studied the power of prayer on the individual.
A quote that I quite like says that Prayer is you talking to God/Universe while meditation is God/Universe talking to you.
Prayer gives the individual the opportunity to speak all of the things that is on one’s mind to a Presence that is non-judgmental, and that is absolutely silent. This Presence does not recommend different solutions, jump in and try to fix things, or even give you a list of “shoulds”. This Presence simply fills the space around you and listens.
Try it.
I come into this world with absolute delight! All is new! I have the memories of those who came before me to guide me, as I discover the place around me. I am innocent of doing any harm to anyone. I know I am part of the herd, and that the herd takes care of me. When I am older, I too will be in the herd that cares for all the foals. This is the way Nature intended for Horse to move upon the Earth. Even though someday I will run fast, and run free, I know that the survival of the herd depends on how each of us does their part. We move from pasture to pasture to conserve the grasses and shrubs that we like, to give them a chance to regenerate. Horses, like other animals, care for the Earth because it is our home. The Earth, in turn, cares for us, and provides for us for food, sleeping, playing, foaling, fighting, and flourishing. I look up and see my dam peacefully eating and keeping an eye on me at the same time. I know that I am cared for. I feel that warmth of affection wrap around me from other members of the herd. While I know they will discipline me if I step out of line, they will do me no harm. And while I am young, they will make my life as easy and safe as they can. I am content!

You are searching for the inner rhythm – sometimes in money, sometimes in power, sometimes in prestige, sometimes in so many kinds of relationships. You go on begging. You want to know something of the transcendental, you are thirsty for the transcendental.
Once in a while, even in ordinary life, it happens. You have those few moments when suddenly one day you wake up in the morning and everything seems to fit perfectly. The birds are singing, the air is fragrant, the sun is rising, and suddenly you feel that all is quiet. You are no longer separate for a moment...you feel a great joy arising in you for no reason at all. You suddenly feel vibrant, utterly rejuvenated, at home. Maybe the night’s deep sleep and rest, maybe the beautiful morning, the song of the birds, the fresh air, the dewdrops on the grass leaves shining in the early sun – all this created the context. Not by your effort, but just by accident you fell in harmony with yourself and with existence.
And remember, it happens always together: whenever you fall in harmony with yourself, you fall in harmony with existence too.

What does happiness feel like? What does it mean? Who has the most happiness?
The answer may be, “It depends on how much freedom you have!”
