10262026 Mr Bad Man

In case you're curious...

I looked up what a gendarme is, and it's a French national police organization member.

So she's asking a gendarme to hold her song because it's, quote, the one piece that I got left, end quote.

And Really, she's talking about a bad man and the need for protection, the protection of her songs, but the protection of herself, the protection of her livelihood.

I think this is interesting, knowing that we have a book coming out and Mr. Badman is like the bad guy in it.

And I mean, obviously, Mr. Badman is a bad guy.

Right? I mean, maybe not.

There are cases where Mr. Badman, maybe he's just the bearer of bad news or maybe the bad guy looks like they're bad because they're denying you something, but it's actually a good thing that you're not getting it.

But in this case, the bad man really is the bad man and she needs help protecting herself from him.

So you can call in your friends.

You can call in your fairies and your dragons and all of that to help protect you.

And those things are important.

And perhaps maybe the biggest thing that you can do to protect yourself is talk to other people.

Like if you find yourself in conversation, in relationship with somebody, and they're telling you don't tell anybody about this, I'd question that.

I'd question that really hard because abuse happens in isolation.

Healing happens in community.

So somebody is isolating you and telling you things or isolating you and treating you a specific way or just isolating you constantly.

That's toxic.

That's abusive.

And that person is the bad man.

So having your people, having those conversations becomes really, really important.

And then we can do other things to help protect ourselves like Kashiapa Mudra.

Kashiapa Mudra is a mudra that helps to protect ourselves from negative energies.

So bring your hands, palms facing up for a moment, and you're going to tuck your thumb over the ring finger and and under the middle and index finger.

Like, well, your thumb's going to peek out between the middle finger and the ring finger.
