We were in Puerto Vallarta recently during the siege. Their government arrested and murdered El Mencho - a major cartel leader. In retaliation, the cartel dragged people out of cars, buses, and a few large semis, and fire-bombed the vehicles.
We were one half mile from a Costco where they burned around 30 cars and a semi. Yep, it was quite scary! When the cars exploded, the noise sounded like cannons or huge guns. Our condo building was in the middle of it. Tall black clouds of toxic smoke billowed all around.
Then we were on lockdown for a couple of days as the city was cleaned up, literally and figuratively.
What I learned was that there was nothing I could do, except keep bringing the light. I kept reminding myself that if I gave in to the fear, I was allowing myself to be part of the trauma. That I must keep centering, doing positive prayer treatment for our Mexican friends and their families. And to know only the best outcome for all of us.
Honestly, it wasn't always easy, but the more that I kept my thoughts with Spirit and remembered who I am - a healer, a way shower, a beacon of light, centered in Love, the stronger I was.
If I allow Fear to control me, Fear will win. If I stay centered in Love and Light, Love wins always.
May you Always Remember Who You Are!
From this to this!
