How to stand steady?
Last night a woman asked, “How do we stand steady in these times?” and since she’s not the only one with this question, here are some suggestions:
To begin, a wise teacher once told me,“Standing steady only means that when you fall over, you get back up again.” I liked that. So, when we get knocked down, what helps us get back up?
Good company (people who themselves seek to “stand steady.”) People who call forth the best in us. Also included in “good company” are enlightening books, movies, T.V. programs, etc.
Spiritual discipline to feed the heart: prayer, meditation, sacred singing, chanting a mantra or prayer as you go about your day. If these are tied in to particular times of the day and/or specific activities, they become a support structure you can lean on.
Doing regular service. Giving to others and making that a normal part of your life. Helping someone ill or infirm, volunteering, feeding the homeless, serving your community.
Spiritually focused meetings: coming together regularly to study the Grandmothers’ books or any spiritual book, meditate, chant the Ho’oponopono, sing and pray together.
You may notice that most of these activities include other people. The Grandmothers tell us not to try to get through these difficult times all by ourselves but to instead call on them and on one another. If you have more “Standing Steady” suggestions for our Net of Light family, please share them on our Facebook page.

 Call forth the ancestors
Whenever you come together to meditate, pray and amplify the presence of love on earth, first call on us or any form of the Divine. Also call on the Net of Light. Then call forth the ancestors. Call the ancestors of your familyline, the ancestors of the land where you where born and where you live now. Call the ancestors everywhere on earth. You may think of them as ancestors of the Light. Simply think of their Higher Consciousness and invite this enlightened aspect of them to participate in the bond of love the Net of Light provides. They too will warm to the Net of Light embrace and because they are connected to this magnificent construct, they will be able to assist the Net in holding and lifting the Earth. As soon as the Ancestors enter into communion with the Net of Light, the pain from their many lifetimes will fade and dissipate. The past will truly then be past!
