The Lord Bless You and Keep You
Introduction In a world that often feels tumultuous and uncertain, finding a source of true peace and enduring comfort can seem elusive. In church this morning, though, I was reminded of a blessing in Scripture that has been spoken over God’s people for thousands of years—the Aaronic Blessing (called that because God told Moses that this is the blessing Aaron is to speak over God’s people) from…

A self love night time routine 🌙🧸🪞🤍✨
Your night time routine is all about dedicating time to yourself. Your routine should be tailored to what makes YOU feel relaxed, loved, and cared for. You can add or modify any of these steps to make it perfect for you.
Cleanse & skin care routine. This isn’t just about hygiene. Cleansing your skin can also cleanse the day's stresses away. Remove makeup (if you wear it). Use a gentle cleanser. Apply toner, serums, or treatments if you use them. Moisturize to keep your skin hydrated.
Spend a few minutes decluttering and organizing so you can go to sleep with a clear mind.
Prepare for tomorrow. Pick out your clothes, prepare your lunch and create your to do list so you wake up with a plan of action.
Set aside electronics, especially those that might interrupt your relaxation (phones, laptops). Put them on the other side of the room, or another room to avoid distractions.
Spend a few minutes journaling or meditating on your day. Write down three things you're grateful for as well as your achievements or progress.
Make a herbal tea or warm milk. Stay away from caffeine, they will interfere with your sleep.
If you enjoy baths, now might be the time to have one with calming salts or essential oils. If you prefer showers, use this time to enjoy the sensation of the water, rather than rushing through it.
Spend a few minutes practicing deep breathing, grounding exercises, or meditation to calm your mind.
Choose a book, avoid anything too stimulating or stress inducing.
Stand in front of a mirror and speak kind words to yourself. Use positive affirmations that resonate with you, like “I am worthy of love and happiness” or “I did my best today, and that's enough.”
Dress in comfortable nightwear, ensuring your sleeping environment is cozy. This could be clean sheets and a comfortable pillow.
Dim the lights, play calming music or nature sounds, or use an essential oil diffuser with lavender or chamomile.
Before closing your eyes to sleep, visualize a peaceful scene or a memory that makes you happy.
As you lie in bed, silently express gratitude for the day. Set a positive intention for the next day.
Get full night's sleep. Make sure you’re getting 7-9 hours depending on your personal needs.

NONDUAL MEDITATION
youtube
Key pointers:-
1. You cannot practise being Awareness. You are it, here and now.
2. Remember:- Whatever I am aware of, that I am not.
3. Keep it real.
4. Stay with the teachings of Vedanta, read the teachings, contemplate/think about the teachings, till it becomes clear - I AM THAT.

Quote
Contemplation not only enlarges the objects of our thoughts, but also the objects of our actions and our affections: it makes us citizens of the universe, not only of one walled city at war with the rest. In this citizenship of the universe consists man's true freedom, and his liberation from the thralldom of narrow hopes and fears.
Bertrand Russell, The Problems of Philosophy

Everything changes when you begin to love yourself. You no longer send out energy of desperation or need to be filled from the outside. You become a powerful source that attracts better. The more you love who you are, the less you seek validation and approval.

“Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?”

Resolve 🪷
🌸🌺🌼
In a breath of fresh air, long craved,
I confront a stalemate, deliberated and braved.
Acceptance soothes wounds, as medicine to pain,
Relieved by absence, where my presence was in vain.
Beyond your walls, my refuge lies,
Unwelcome, I'll seek under different skies.
Your space perturbed, my journey denied,
Battles fought, answers reveal in high tide.
As long as my feet can tread,
Wisdom sought, no path unread,
Against dead ends, I'll forge ahead,
Sails set for new horizons, spirit led.

May anxiety abandon me and stress avoid me, and may long despair depart from my paths.
May I receive my share of peace and tranquility.
May all my days and nights be peaceful and calm, where nothing feels burdensome and heavy and my soul does not weigh me down.
May my heart be filled with tenderness and love, and may all distress and sorrow leave it for what's left of my days.

I have a question about the pearls - I thought they were just an illusion, but Vanja keeps talking about their effect on people, especially Emeric, who often seems to have his legs swept out from under him.
Do the peals have some effect beyond an illusion of beauty that makes people take notice? Emeric implies they don't work on him the way Vanja expects/they do for others. What do they do to him? What does he see?
So there are two concurrent things playing out with the pearls! Spoilers under the cut.
1: The pearls don't just physically transform the wearer, they essentially are souped-up pretty privilege. If you are romantically attracted to women, you'd have a crush on the wearer. If you aren't romantically attracted to women, you'd want to be their companion, confidante, accomplice. It doesn't override every other emotion, it just puts a thumb on the scale.
2: Our junior prefect has two things working for him. First, he has the glasses that show enchantments, so he knows what effect Vanja expects the pearls to have on him. And second, he's demi, so at first, all he gets is the inclination to be friends. In the first act, he's playing into Vanja's expectations so she underestimates him; in the second, he's mostly neutral to her in the pearls. In the third act, you can actually pinpoint when he's officially caught feelings, because Vanja puts on the pearls and is like "wow he looks like he got run over by a mack truck, never seen him do that face before............. WELP IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME SURELY."

Whatever you aware of, you are not it. You are that which is aware.
Awareness itself - One without a second.
