The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 53

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm. I must confess that yesterday was the first day that I really felt stressed out and we all know now about the saga with RTÉ and Donegal fake news. Even though I have been practising mindfulness for over 50 years, when you are attacked and the family is attacked and the very core of who you are and what you have achieved with your business, it causes so much stress it could kill and this is not said lightly. At times yesterday my heart was pounding so much I had to go to the meditation garden several times, more than I could count to recover. I thought fake news was so far away it could never affect Ireland and that it was an American phenomenon but alas it is alive and well in Ireland. Now that is enough of that and I am healing and that is what I am going to speak to you about this morning. First I would like to thank all the people, there were hundreds, who called, text and supported us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Your support was huge and heart warming and we feel blessed with healing and support. When you receive a word of support it is like a circle of light drawn around you to protect, strengthen and heal you and you can feel yourself coming out and emerging from the trenches like a constant flow of emergence and the belief that healing is travelling through your body like the breath and following the breath it is peaceful. When we send healing to people we help them go beyond their present frontiers and their problems and a window opens presenting a bright blue sky. I urge you all to rediscover your power to heal. I know yesterday I was that soldier and I thank you all for digging me out of that dark trench.

Continue to pray,  bless and heal each other.
