Dear brothers and sisters of planet Earth! I AM KWAN YIN!

Today I am accompanied by many dragons; I am riding my white dragon, but there are many others around me. And at this moment, they are all flapping their wings and radiating a loving energy to all of you who are listening to us right now.

My brothers and sisters, look upon your journey with attention, with Love, with confidence. Do not give up in the face of obstacles that arise. You are strong; you always have been. You have lost faith in yourselves. You have allowed yourselves to be dominated, to be entangled, but all of you possess power. The power to change your own path. The power to create illuminated paths.

Forget what you have faced so far—the problems, the obstacles. Build a new path. A path blooming with flowers, a new path. Where peace and balance reign completely. Do not lose your way, trying to find those to blame. There are no culprits. Everything is a return of what you yourself have created.

So change your path today. Break through this wave that is coming. Imagine that right now, you have a gorge in front of you. And on the other side, you see a completely new path. Look back. You have built a lot. You have lived through a lot. But you also carry a lot, unnecessarily. Look at the burden behind you.

Now look ahead and see the other side of the gorge. A beautiful, flower-filled, illuminated path. But how do you get there? You need to build a bridge. You can’t fly. So this will be your mission from now on: to build the bridge.

No, you don’t need big machines. All you have to do is add a piece every day. It won’t fall. It won’t crumble. It will be built with the strength of your heart, with the strength of your belief in yourself. Try it. Each day, add a step’s worth to this bridge. And you’ll see it happen.

For this week’s challenge, I’m going to bring something different. You need to pay attention to your diet, your words, your thoughts, and your actions. This combination determines whether you are enlightened beings or not.

This week, you will do the following. Fill a glass with water. Leave it open for a while. You will not drink the water. Place this glass where you can look at it all the time. As you start your day, you will say:

“May this glass show me how my journey is going.”

And observe the glass, the water in the glass. If the water remains almost untouched, it’s because you’re in balance. You’re following a path that will lead you toward growth. Otherwise, the water will be consumed quickly.

So be mindful of this, so that you can control yourself and maintain the balance necessary for your journey. And another point: if the glass empties quickly, refill it. But only refill it when it’s empty.

For today’s practice… it’s a simple one. When drinking water, not the water from that glass—that’s not meant to be drunk. For the glasses of water you drink to stay hydrated throughout the day, say the following:

“This water is illuminating my body.”

And observe the results. They may seem like silly, meaningless experiments. But you’ll see what happens.
