The holiday season
is upon us once again. Do you believe in
a divine being? Do you believe in God,
Allah, Buddha, The Light, Jehovah, or no god at all? Does it matter? No matter what religion you practice (or none
at all), your beliefs or even your discord with the whole notion of having to
brave the crowds to purchase gifts this holiday season – you can’t deny the
magic of the season. Even if we as
humans created “Christmas” or morphed it into some sort of consumerist scheme,
the fact that many of us are able to set aside time to spend with family and
friends is a miracle in it of itself. This
is the time of year when you should get in touch with that inner child. It’s there.
The stillness, the wonder, the joy… despite whatever turmoil is going on
in the world, in our lives, in our communities, we must give our energy to the
light of giving. “‘Tis better to give
than receive.” We must also send love
into the world. Everyone sure could use
it!
If you are a decent person full of love, compassion,
empathy and positivity, then you know what kind of transformation takes place
this time of year. You know the joy
children experience when they are given a much anticipated gift or told the
tale of Santa Claus. Perhaps you have
been on the receiving end of a basket full of food during a time in your life
when you had little. For one moment, the
despair of knowing where your next meal came from was lifted. It was lifted because of the kindness and
generosity from a soul like yours.
During
this time of year, it is essential to guard ourselves, or shielding as it’s
referred to in the Metaphysical Field.
We need to guard ourselves from the darkness. What is the darkness exactly? The darkness could be crooks, that in-law you
don’t get along with, an estranged friend, terrorists or even the devil as
believed in some religions. Another way
we refer to the darkness is negative energy.
Negativity. It’s draining,
depressing and full of anger. If we
allow the magic to be taken or stolen from us, then the darkness has won.
So
how do we guard ourselves from potential encounters with the darkness? It’s simple, really. For those who pray, pray. For others, try speaking your intention to
the universe. For example, when you’re at
a holiday gathering or even before leaving the house say, “I will have a
fabulous time. I will interact with
those whom I love and who are best aligned with my higher purpose.” In order to have a good time, free of anxiety
or stress, simply manifest the outcome you desire.
Going
into the New Year, instead of making resolutions that may only last 3 days, you
can change your frame of thinking quite easily.
Speak your intention to the Universe.
Say, “I am thin. I am
healthy. I have reached by fitness
goals. My finances are great, I’m a
billionaire!” Whatever it is you want to
change, speak as if you already own it.
The Universe will work in its secretive ways to make your intentions a
reality. For more information and tips,
we recommend you read “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne. Give the book to yourself as a gift. You deserve it.
In
closing, you all will have a joyous and wonderful holiday. Whether spent at home, with family, on
vacation, at work or alone. It will be
unforgettable, happy, and full of love and light. Please keep the magic alive that is inside of
you all in this holiday season.
