Helping Those Who Need

Greetings. I'm going to ask your help today. This is a day that is celebrated many places and it's, as you know, Valentines Day.

Nevertheless it is also a day when people remember what they don't have as well as what they do have and most of the things that they remember that they don't have are things that might be good for them like a good and loyal friend or companion or lover.

So...especially for those of you who've been reading and studying these blogs for some time I'd like you to do a little True Magic if you don't mind.

It's not complicated but it will require you to stand up if you are able. Stand up with care if it is a difficulty for you but if you cannot stand up then do what you can sitting down or laying down - that is also acceptable but I'm going to give the instructions for those who can stand.

Now...I'd like you to stand up then and face whatever direction feels the best for you. Then make one complete rotation turning to your left and end up facing that direction that feels the best for you. It might be slightly different than where you started, that's alright as long as you've made at least one complete rotation. If you haven't then make a second rotation and stop where it feels the best for you.

Then say these words, "I am asking that all whose hearts are strained feel love, support and kindness from their environments even if their environments do not seemingly extend those feelings towards them - that all the spirits of love near them exude such energies so that these individuals can feel that love and support and that that energy gives them hope and sustenance to ease their way through life."

After you have said this make one more complete rotation to the left and then you may go on with your life.

Try to remember that on occasions especially any occasion celebrated in your country or culture where many people are happy with something that there are always those who are left out and they may need such support as you can offer in your best physical and magical way. Goodlife.

The Prize

I don't know, what's so great about Christmas? It comes once a year. We have to shell out more then we want to for decorations and gifts and other ballyhoo that goes with it - why bother?

I'll tell you why. It's one of those holidays that reminds us that there are good things about the world. So many of us are striving to improve the quality of life for ourselves, our families, our friends, our community and in the course of that struggle - it's difficult isn't it - very challenging to keep an eye on the prize.

The prize however is not the goal we're striving for, the prize is that which we are intending to protect and feed - our friends, our family and yes - ourselves. That's the prize. Lets not lose sight of that because when we do lose sight of that - well, that's why we need Christmas - not only for its religious significance but to be reminded of the beauty within ourselves, within our children, within our grandparents, within our families, our friends and our community.

Christmas is not only about a religious holiday - and it is that but it is also to be reminded about joy for that is the true prize.

Goodlife.
