When you feel like the world is against you -- When you feel like everything is happening to you that is full of negativity and commotion, it's likely and perfectly natural to become filled with anger and resentment. Feeling like the world is against you or out to get you makes for the mind to be uneasy and bring up feelings of stress a great deal of the time.
I believe you have found this message because within it, lies something you need to know, or something you need to hear today. I invite you to close your eyes, and when you take a deep breath let your breath reach all the way down to your navel. And when you exhale, imagine pushing your breath out and up to the area between your eyes.
Breathe in...and out in a natural and rhythmical way, connecting yourself to the present, and clearing your mind.
I have a message for you. And at this moment, it is especially FOR you. During the times where we struggle with these feelings towards the world or to anything especially unpleasant, we look to friends for encouragement and for support; find a shoulder to cry on, and spend time wanting "tea and sympathy".
The key to making peace at times like these can be easier said than done. It can be difficult to communicate with someone when you feel hurt by them, but making peace is possible. Most of us have the experience that communicating our uneasiness to try and work something out is beneficial to creating harmony and peace of mind. We find a way to make resolve so we can move on with our lives and have comfort.
Here I offer reminders and encouragement about making peace with the day. Feel free to grab a pencil and pen and take notes if you wish. After your visit here, your mind may just flood with different thoughts. Jot them down. For each time that you read this blessing, you may read something you didn't see the first time. You may read something differently than you read it before. What is important is, that each time you read this message, your mind is expanding different ways to put harmony to work for you.

As we are gentle with our friends and family, be gentle to your own self. Speak words that are kind, that come from love...speak words to yourself that will bring honor to the person you are, just as you would do this to honor another person that you love.
The world...the universe is not against you. In fact, it is the universe that is your best friend. It has been with you every day of your life, at your side every step of the way. If you feel that it is against you, it is of utmost importance to make peace. The Universe will not leave you no matter what you do, or how you feel about it. So I humbly suggest that making peace with it, and making it your solid partner will open up doors in your life that could create results beyond our comprehension.
The universe is your companion. Cry on its shoulder and hold it close. Make peace and be friends again. You can create a relationship with the world around you just as you would with the best of your friends or your family or your mate.
How are we with our friends that makes them our friends? One of those ways is...being considerate. Saying hello. When is the last time you said hello to the day?
As a Reiki Master, I greet the world each morning, just as I would greet my own spouse as he awakens. I speak words of love and kindness and honor the day, becoming aligned with all of the energy around me.
And I do this by looking outside. I appreciate and give love the sunshine. If it is cloudy I admire and give love to the clouds that nourish the earth. I ponder the songs of the birds as they greet each other and begin to find food for their young to help them thrive and be healthy. I feel the temperature of the air, the speed of the wind, and wonder where it might be going. I connect. I ground. I align with what I am waking up to.
It is important. It's important to be considerate. We have consideration for friends and family. Give consideration to the world you are about to enter and adventure into after getting out of bed. To know what I'm stepping into each and every day that I wake up, is important, because every day is a brand new day. The sun doesn't shine the same way it did yesterday. It may look like the same sun, but we know that it is constantly changing. The birds have the same noise or pitch with thier chirping, but what they are communicating today is new from what it was yesterday. Priorities are different. Just like for you and me. The temperature outside...it's more than degrees of heat or cold. It's the *temper* of the world you're about to walk into.
Connect with where you are at. You are in a world. In a universe. A universe that is always with you, and could probably use your attention. Stop and pay attention. Just as you would to your friends. Stop and give compliments as you would to a friend. The sky looks gorgeous. The streets are especially clean today. The intervals of silence ironically rings especially loud.
To give consideration is only the first step to creating strong foundation in relationships. When you have a strong relationship with the universe and make it your partner, the goodness in everything begins to shine brightly. The world isn't an enemy. It is always at your side ready for your partnership to make things happen. The universe or the world has nothing to punish you for. You are here. And you're with a partner that you just can't shake. Rather than resenting the world or the universe for being a ball and chain, or carrying the weight of it on your shoulders, make it your friend. Nurture it as you would nurture your friendships with communication, love, respect, support, gratitude, and all of a sudden, your new friend will begin to shower you with the most amazing gifts.
Humble blessings from the best in me, with hopes that this message will touch the best that is in you. Shine your light on the world today and put what you have heard to practice. You never know how or to whom it will make a difference to.
