As millions of people prepare for both Passover and Easter, these holidays have taken on a new meaning this year. I would like to suggest we take a time out from being productive in the outer world and use this week to go in and get the healing and guidance we require in order to move into alignment with this new time of spiritual growth and acceleration.
Passover represents Freedom.
The Passover story is based on the theme of oppression to freedom. Now, more than ever, This is a resounding theme for our planet.
Many have found themselves oppressed - oppressed by gender, oppressed by race, oppressed by society, oppressed by hunger and disease, oppressed by unequal pay, illegal trafficking of women and children and pervasive bigotry.
That is why we continue to tell the story to freedom: to share hope for the future. Storytelling is one of the first rituals and continues to be one of the most potent ones I know.
There is a song/prayer we say at the end of the Passover Meal. It is called Dayenu, which means “it would have been enough.” Dayenu provides a powerful contemporary outlook on life, a call to mindfulness about the way we currently lead our lives.
Looking both backward to the past year and looking forward to this new season, what is your Dayenu?
If we care for the earth as we care for our family - Dayenu
If we create art and music - Dayenu
If we volunteer our time - Dayenu
If we listen with compassion and caring- Dayenu
If we take the time to play and experience joy: Dayenu
If we help our neighbors: Dayenu
If we have compassion for ourselves as we do for our loved ones: Dayenu
If we open our hearts to each other: Dayenu
If we respect the rights of all people: Dayenu
If we live each moment as a sacred gift : Dayenu
If we say “thank you” for all that we have: Dayenu
Work with Barbara
I am so honored to be doing in person space clearings and blessings for homes, businesses, restaurants and this week, The Daryl Roth Theatre on Union Square. Our environment is constantly affecting us. And we all require a space that offers us peace, joy, health, inspiration, rest, creativity and love.
If you want clarity on moving forward, schedule a house/business clearing, tarot reading or special ritual. Also, this is a great time for Fertility Rituals—for calling in children and new projects.
P.S. I have a limited number of appointments available in the LA area April 12-16th.
Until next time,
Barbara
