“Breaking Through Like A Lotus”
Lighter days are ahead. Just like the lotus flower breaks through mud and water, we can move through even the toughest of challenges and murky waters, emerging stronger and more beautiful on the other side. Feel your roots grounding you into the earth… Feel your gentle heartbeat and slow down the breath…. Feel connected to yourself, and to nature. It is within us to rise through challenge, just as the lotus flower does.
Try the mantra: “I have come so far. I am breaking through tough times like a lotus through the mud and water. Lighter days are ahead.”
May you be safe. May you be healthy. May you be loved.

“You Are Not Alone”
Remember that we are all the same. We are all made of the same materials, we experience the same feelings, go through pain, struggles and anger, but we all too easily think we are alone in this. We are not alone. We are here together. Remind yourself of this when you struggle.
“I Need A Break”
We need to ground ourselves and listen to ourselves. We are all hurting at the moment... We’re all in need of healing and to receive kind, loving energy. We hope this theme helps release feelings of being overloaded and allows you to give yourself a break.
“Self Acceptance” Rainbow Theme
Sometimes we have to move through tricky feelings and tricky times. Your feelings during these tricky times are valid and ok. Acknowledge them and breathe so that you come out stronger on the other side. Just like a rainbow after a storm.
“I Am Here. I Am Grounded.”
Everything is connected - We are to one another and also towards the earth, so let’s use this time to reconnect to ourselves, to each other, and to nature.
