Pinch me, I must be dreaming. Today I had the pleasure and the privilege of participating with about 40 amazing, talented and interesting people who share a strong desire to volunteer our services to help those who are struggling in the aftermath of the Newtown tragedy through EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique. This meeting was led by the gifted and giving Lori Leyden, who has done and continues to do REMARKABLE work in Rwanda with survivors of the genocide there, as well as the Ortner family, Nick, Jessica, Alex and their beautiful mother, Maria. For me and probably everyone there, it was truly a day of awe as we discussed this very delicate task to find the best way to help people put their lives back together. I feel so blessed to have had this opportunity. I didn’t want it to end. Sending love and light to everyone all over the world who feel the reverberations of what transpired there, from the medical examiners, to the first responders, to the people who were in the school, to the people who were supposed to be in the school that day who were not for some reason, to people in the neighboring schools and towns, to teachers, principals, school psychologists, parents or students everywhere, to people who grocery shop, bank, or attend religious services with families who were personally affected, and of course to those parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles and their friends, classmates, best friends, or former students of those killed, to anyone who has ever lost a loved one to a violent crime, as well as to people connected to the family of the killer. I don’t know anyone who wasn’t rocked to the core by this terrible event. One of the main conclusions we drew from the day is how important it is to work on healing our own inner angst so we no longer need to have it mirrored to us via violent expressions of anger in our outer world.
