♥ This is certainly a time when some will be called to take action, but how that action is carried out makes all the difference. Before we start doing anything, we need to check in with who we’re being. If action is taken from a stance of reaction, revenge, fear, or anger, it will not accomplish what is wanted, and might even create the opposite. It is so important to set a clear intention for our actions, to envision the end result we want in the most loving way we can, to affirm the best outcome for the highest good of all life.

♥ I understand the cry of many that this is a battle that must be mightily fought, but do we have to take the stance and use the language of war in so many articles and speeches and dialogue? Words like fight, battle, defeat, kill have become the cry of many who are against all things Trump. Can we find a more evolved way to express what’s playing out? Can we somehow focus not upon destroying something, but upon creating something better?

♥ We can be vigilant in paying close attention as things develop, but we really don’t know exactly how events will play out. (How easy was it to predict the outcome of this election?) Events have yet to be created—by both sides of the issues—and each of us has a vibrational part in what comes to be. It’s time to direct our thoughts, beliefs and expectations toward the highest vision of what’s possible. Trump may find that having to make decisions from the Oval Office is very different from whipping an audience into a cheering frenzy during a campaign.

♥ It’s important to take time to move through all feelings, especially the difficult ones, and act only from a centered place. These are some things you can do that can help: Beat a pillow. Go for a run. Hug a tree. Pet your cat. Meditate. Do some yoga, tai chi, qigong. Clear your inner space before taking any action.

♥ If you choose to wear a safety pin, understand that you might be called upon to enter into volatile situations. Stay centered. Try not to think of those involved as “perpetrator” or “victim” or yourself as “rescuer.” Be present. Envision a peaceful outcome.

♥ As you move through your days, don’t match the hateful, oppressive energy being generated by the President Elect and those that surround him. Love is exponentially more powerful than fear. Make this your mantra.

♥ It’s hard to know who and what to trust right now. The best possible advice is to trust your own inner guidance above all. Cultivate the practice of going within, opening your heart, and listening. Use this to evaluate all considered choices and actions.

♥ And remember: a cosmic wild card can become anything; it can even trump a Trump.
