“Without a tongue, there would be no croons, swoons, Junes under the moon, no bees pollinating, no flowers in bloom, no recitation of words at the foot of a tomb, or wills read aloud of the family heirlooms… You probably couldn’t even blow up a balloon, and that would be a shame, because to exhale is the name of the game. Exhale from the heart; not from the lungs. Speak from the heart; not from the tongue.”
Lyrics by Michael Franti & Spearhead
Welcome to Earth Send
On this booming, blooming Friday in June, we gather again to:
π meditate about well-being for all life
π reconnect with our deep, living gratitudeβfor Earth, for Source, and for everything that wakes up awe
π broadcast luminous thoughts to all open to receive them
π send reiki to all who asked for it and to all portable creativity tools you’ve brought to session today: each Bucket List or Vision/Action Map or Letter to the Future, each Gratitude Container, and each Gallery of Mudita.
Friday is our day to send reiki. Friday all day – at a time that you choose. Come in and join when you’re ready.
Alohato Co-Creators, Co-Meditators, Co-Practitioners:
new, visiting, and our lovely regulars, of course. What a joy it is to welcome you into another shimmering circle!
As shared before, I am reorganizing our invitation into content units and micro lessons for convenient, or even first, look-ups to clear the field for our next stage manifestations. It is a wiser use of time for all of us: newcomers, members and me… So instead of rehashing what we’ve already covered and most of us have incorporated into our Fridays, I’m giving topics a worthy place. That allows me to catch up again and surf with the current.
On Restructuring (From the Outside In and From the Inside Out) And Construction Noise
1. A few weeks ago, I learned about another major construction site in my neighbourhood. It’s certainly the correct response to the province’s housing crisis and obvious need for affordable housing. At the same time, noise pollution is real, and it affects the nervous system.
2. Our own rooftop is getting solar power, and with it, a different heating system. So for most of midsummer, my home is a construction site, too!
3. So is my stuff: furniture pieces need urgent upholstering or replacing.
4. So is my mouth: a few days ago, I woke up with a chipped tooth. I was inconsolable, and I have to visit the dentist.
That’s enough upgrades and structural stories for one summer.
Friday is our reiki day – even when you don’t receive a fresh invitation on every single Friday this season. All relevant info for participation is in the essay For All Fridays @ https://nandajurela.com/2025/04/18/earth-send-reiki-send-and-meditation-for-the-well-being-of-all-life/
It is an adaptive season for me, for sure. I’ll have to take breaks from writing invitations. I’ll do my best to at least remind you that the Earth Send is happening, with fewer words though. Hopefully I can announce a few Earth Sends with an essay, too.
Construction and Reconstruction, A Handful Of Perspectives
Someone recently asked me what these pervasive construction sites might be communicating about the metaphysical plane and whether I’m “not sick by now” from “having to adapt all the time”. Let me offer three perspectives:
π Change can’t be avoided. This one is going to be an upgrade on all levels.
π The revamping on the outside vibes with processes of renewal and recalibration within. Surrender to forces bigger than oneself and a more proactive stress management are no one’s favourite pastimes, and still we go through it.
π I have overcome bigger challenges than this.
Our 20-Year Anniversary On 25 June 2025
This month, we celebrate two decades of Earth Send Fridays. After over 1000 circles and counting, we’re still here, doing it! Friday has always been our day, and we’ve poured our dedication and love into it.
I can not come close to covering the extent of the benefits we’ve reaped from the practice. As someone who is also observing my 30th anniversary of reiki practice on 25 June (I passed the 50% mark of my time on earth with reiki years and years ago), I am too removed from the person I might have been without reiki. I hardly envision that parallel plane. Rarely I get glimpses of it, and I wouldn’t trade places. There goes my relatability, aaaahhh. With my biography, I can’t take the relatability route. And, like in any other field, what we need from, or should seek in, a thoroughly experienced person is not their relatability, but their know-how and their expertise.
Take this moment to reflect on how the practice has benefited you. I can say without any reservations that everyone who has been with Earth Send for 2 decades is a great person and that everyone who joined later or irregularly noticed lasting and wonderful transformations. Your willingness to be a force for good, for the truth and for your healing has moved me and moves me to continue.
So we’ll keep going!
Ask for Reiki, and Do Your Part
Healing requests are welcome and can be renewed.
Please stay in communication while you – or a person, pet or a cause – are receiving our reiki: the group will remain tuned into your goal and can celebrate with you when you share your good news.
From those in hospice or unable to reply, no updates are expected.
For life events that require active participationβexams, births, promotions, family reunions, meeting a soul mate, and so onβ, your feedback is what keeps us connected to your case and rooting for a fine outcome.
Today’s Focus: Heart-Link With Each Other And Reiki to Our Recipients And Creativity ToolsΒ
Today, reiki is flowing to all healing requests and to all creativity tools brought to this session.
Creativity tools are the seeds of your future. With good care, seeds become seedlings. As you pick the fruits you want to eat, pick your goals accurately: harvest unfolds from what you’ve selected.
Precision and revision of your creativity tools is commonly a process. Perhaps you thought you nailed it, but we tend to find the essence of what we want to hold as an aim after some soul searching and a bit of inner work. So expect that you’ll be refining your tools until you arrive. You’re in charge of your harvest, and you’re shaping your harvest by making your tools exact and certain.
To Sweeten the Session
π designate a spot for your practice, keep it free of clutter and inspiring to you
π hydration with a kick: sip water charged by the sun while it is still bright.
βNever drink it from plastic.
βAfter sunset, it is no longer solar water. Drink fresh water, herbal water, water with fruit slices, or tea then…
π store impressions in your memory bank that you want your Island of Self to feature. In this exceptional month of beauty, saturate yourself with amazing scents, sounds, views, skin sensations and flavours.
π learn how to run the Inner Smile through your body, not leaving any part of you out.
Greet every piece of you with the Inner Smile now.
π start paying attention to your surroundings, so that you become familiar with the land you’re on. Switch on your curiosity about what the land is communicating.
Land and Watershed Acknowledgement
Connect with your gratitude for the drinkable water in your watershed and the land that feeds you and lets you grow food on. Acknowledge the link between land caretakers and water keepers of the past and the present and the future. Can you find your place in the continuum between then and now and soon?
Bird’s Eye View
Imagine rising through your roof, until you see your neighbourhood and yourself as a tiny dot in your vision. What can you tell your small self on the ground from this elevated perspective?
Take in the words and any perceptions you get. Write that down after the session.
Bird’s Eye View has a laconic way of speaking. Like “Get up”, “Go there!”, “Turn left!”, “Stop!”, “Clean up!”, “Call Carol”, “Call Tom”…
Simple instructions are indicators that you’re indeed hearing, or downloading, input from a higher elevation. Ego yammering or your typical thoughts that dwell on an issue in a predictable and consequential stream are almost never that plain and economical.
Come back to the ground, into the here and now.
Set an Intention Before the Meditation
Setting your intent trains your decisiveness and immerses you into the meditation and into your co-creative flow.
An always appropriate one: “By participating, I welcome my highest good.”
For deeper rapport, use your own words.
The Five Reiki Precepts
Just for today:
I will not worry.
I will not anger.
I will work honestly.
I will honour my elders and teachers.
I will be grateful for my many blessings.
The precepts are the north stars we navigate with. We course-correct when we fall short of them. We are grateful when we meet them.
Resonance Statement
What was good this week?
What would you love more of?
What would you want to repeat?
Homework: Display a Bundle of Delightsβa glass jar of memory-treasures, a vivarium of preferences and new priorities. Little things that broadcast joy and that you’re choosing the good.
Earth Resonance
“Become teachable. Mist everything else.”
– lens to pre-screen information at a time of info overload
The media grabs our attention with urgency, division, spectacles, and quite unexamined averments. Yet what is more precious than our attention and our vital energy?
Water is an answer to many of our confusions, a pause in the hustle and noise, a hospitable harmonizer, a cleansing refreshment. So whenever you don’t know what to do with the info you’ve just absorbed, spray the air around you and telepathically spray the region that is allegedly or verifiably in a funk and spray your feelings and thoughts about the news.
While you’ve spent time browsing for information that you on your own, or any one person alone, can not solve, the Earth has been teaching about restoration and the power to nourish, replenish and self-replenish. Take note when you see land that is thriving and in surplus. Those are fascinating abilities and synergies worth studying.
We allow ourselves to be taught useful skills. We pause and mist what is out of our control to influence, even though that is being made into topics for everyone to chime in and do almost nothing about.
We have turned our gaze to subject matters that improve our lot. You can do that, too.

Highlights Of the Hour And Of the Month
π June is fragrant, alive with bloom and song and pollinators. It’s an appetizer of the opulence that will spread out this growing season. It’s also a time to take stock of the half-year, hold clear thoughts and draft pertinent action maps and lists.
π Open-air concerts, festivals and events invite memorable encounters and connection.
π Our 20th anniversary in 12 days!
π Venus is in Taurus until early July. It’s a pampering, feel-good transit, serene and grounding. It is so easy to feel gratitude for everything that is available to us, from the tiny to the huge. Since the first week of June, I’ve been surprised by the volume of appreciation surging up within me, and l’ll be savouring the good for as long as I can.
Venus passages and placements affect me more than I’ve ever admitted in public. I feel when the energies are good; I also feel when there is dearth of goodness and Venusian influences. We are in a month of charm, enchantment, pleasure, contentment, creativity and affection. Make the best of it!
Take Into Your New Week
Thank you for your participation, your warmth, your mindfulness.
Keep polishing your creativity tools. Let them serve your best life.
Get rid of whatever stands in the way of living with gusto.
Stay upbeat and fortunate, until we meet again on Fridays.
In gassho, I humbly receive.
13 June 2025
