How much longer will you look at Syria and just feel sorry?

Ok, I had enough! Enough of silence, enough of passive compassion, enough feeling sorry for Syria. ENOUGH! Something needs to start happening.

A gas attack in Idlib, Syria made me realize how angry and helpless I feel about everything that’s happening in Syria. How much longer will we all watch the nation being raped and just feel sorry for them? How much longer will we watch all the atrocities in Syria and silently pray it never happens to us???  And if it happens how will you feel about the world seeing it and not doing a thing???  People, we need to wake up!

Yesterday as social media was condemning a gas attack in Idlib and mourning lost  lives I had an interesting Facebook exchange with one of my school professors. It took me sometime to really “feel” the answer,  which was an excerpt from Hadith:

“Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with hand; and if he is not able to do so, then with tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with heart…”

Well, I can’t go to Syria to fight. I can talk all I want but talk is only increasing the negativity in the world . I can pray!

This being said,  I am launching a daily meditation using Kundalini yoga healing mantra for a peaceful world. It takes 11 minutes a day. There are several people around the globe who are joining me in this practice. Instructions are here:

For those who do not practice yoga, do what you can, say your own prayers, that’s the only way to go from just feeling sorry and sad to actually  DOING SOMETHING!
