Mercury, Panacea 10°Pi39′ – 00:27 (UT)

The path to enlightenment begins here. It begins with a kind thought, a quiet ‘I forgive’ in the middle of the night. It’s about relaxing where once tight muscles screamed against reality. Illumination begins with accepting the reality as it is – and yet knowing it is impermanent, knowing that the soul is immortal, knowing that there are invisible worlds bordering ours. Fingers press on ethereal windows, soft spirit smiles, love pours through the veil. You are loved, throughout and beyond time. Love is your essential nature, the thread linking heaven and Earth.

Panacea’s name means ‘heal all’. It can be overwhelming to think, how can I heal ALL this? So much is wrong, so much cannot be changed, so much pain. You don’t have to heal everyone or everything thing. Focus on yourself and those you touch – the people who cross your path, a smile for the service checkout person, some seeds for a hungry pigeon, water for koalas, a conversation with an elderly neighbour. Compassion is a choice. Unconditional love is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Enlightenment begins within, by walking the path of light. Choose to heal, one soul at a time. Start where you are.
