Nature Teaches Us About The Cycles Of Life
The entire world is alive with messages, and it speaks to us, if we will only listen. Nature reminds us of the abundant beauty present in everyday life. Make a time and space in your day when and where you won’t be disturbed, so you can listen to it “speak”. The goal is to be so in harmony with life’s purpose that we will instinctively know which paths to follow from the many that present themselves each day.

Ritual For Winter Solstice
Winter Solstice is of course, the longest night and shortest day of the year. Solstice in Latin actually means “The Sun Stands Still.” And so it is — the Sun has stopped retreating but hasn’t yet begun to come back. As I’ve discovered more about the Winter Solstice, I’ve learned that different cultures around the world have honored the Sun and its rebirth.
For instance in India, Pongol is the Hindu Solstice celebration. The Hopi Indians have a ritual where they light fires to energize and entice the safe return of “The Light.” In Japan, Winter Solstice is a time when the Sun Goddess Amaterasu would come out of her cave. Hanukkah actually means “Festival of Lights.” And Christians around the world celebrate Christmas, a time when the Christ child brings back light and a renewal of hope to the world.
We like to say a special prayer to “Welcome the Return of Light.” It goes like this:
May darkness give way to Light.
We are awake within the Night.
Turn the Wheel to bring the Light.
we welcome the Light.
Strengthen our hope.
Fill us with Peace.

The How to Grow a Soul Mate Checklist
As to meeting a potential Soul Mate, it’s not about where you go—charity functions, bars, the Internet. In other words, it’s not about what you do; it’s about how you do it, how you act, the kind of energy you send out. Where you go to meet people is irrelevant. Taking this advice “magnetizes” the right person to you. Use these checklists to discern whom you do and don’t want. Begin to act accordingly, and see what happens.
1. Never take each other for granted. Show how lucky you feel to know each other and make sure to spend as much time together as possible. Work together, if you can. Giving little gifts for no special reason will delight your partner and yourself!
2. Treat each other as equals. You may not have the same background, looks, talents, connections, power, or potential, but you are two halves of the same team. Act like it.
3. Always compliment each other on good qualities and do it several times a day. If you like the way he/she looks, smells, or makes you feel today, say so.
4. Have concern for each other’s total welfare, even if it causes you to reverse yourself on some long-cherished notion. Make the other person’s needs as important as your own. Once you have determined that you have found your Soul Mate, you can make his/her needs more important than your own. Don’t worry—you will want to do so.
5. Be kind. Really listen to each other’s words, and try to understand each other’s position. Do not assume that you know how the other feels. Ask when you want to know something. Never refuse to communicate.
6. Get to the root of anger, frustration, anxiety, and fear. Learn to tell when you are the problem and when you might be the solution, and try to be the solution more often than the problem.
7. Always show how happy you are to see each other and smile, even if you are in the middle of hearing the most annoying news. Remember, you are each the most important and powerful thing in each other’s lives. Everything else is secondary.
8. Forgive each other and mean it. Have the courage to be imperfect. Admit it when you are wrong. Assume that you could be wrong, even when you think you are right; it is not as hard as it sounds.
9. Always use criticism carefully and constructively. Do not demand change from anyone but yourself. Do not demand change from anyone but yourself. It’s important enough to say twice.
10. Share and explore your fantasies, dreams for the future, and the dreams you awaken from. Never go to sleep angry. Making up can do wonders for your ability to sleep soundly.
11. Compromise whenever possible, especially on matters of taste. Eat the same food so your breaths will smell the same. If that is impossible, do not eat foods or wear scents, styles, and colors that offend your Soul Mate.
12. Keep a positive attitude and a sense of humor, especially about yourself. No matter what happens, if you two are together, relatively healthy, and your bills are paid, laugh at the other stuff.
If your potential partner resists these twelve rules for Soul Mate nurturing, or if she or he does not treat you with the same caring and kindness, you will have to tell her or him. Don’t give up on her/him if she/he makes an effort to change after you gently and tactfully make her/him aware of your concerns.

Tips To Help Overcome Fear
1) When unwanted thoughts intrude, snap yourself back into the present moment by wearing a rubber band on your wrist and snapping it.
2) Focus on something that you can touch or taste. That will distract your racing thoughts by putting your mind on something other than you and your fear of getting an attack.
3) Go through with what you have to do, no matter how you are feeling; never retreat.
4) Keep trying and you will make progress. Believe that you have the capacity to change.
5) Always breathe through it when you feel anticipatory fear; take a deep breath, hold it as long as you can, and let it out slowly.
6) Give comfort to your inner child, not criticism. Treat yourself the way you would treat a frightened child; be like the most gentle and patient parent you can conceive of.
7) Practice affirmations and positive imaging.
8) Lighten up and laugh at yourself and, oh yes, love yourself more.

Veneration Of Ancestors As A Tradition
Buddhism teaches that if you want to know what the course of your past was, you must look at what you are experiencing now. If you want to know your future, you must recognize that what you choose to do in this lifetime, day by day, determines what your future will be. To deal best with our present, we need to be aware of our past, and we need to be aware that the choices we make now will determine our future and that of our offspring. Ancestral veneration is a link that unites the dead and the living members of the family—the past and the present—and can provide a channel of valuable services from our ancestors to ourselves.
The meditative act of communing with the spirit of our ancestors is not ancestor worship but rather ancestor veneration and communication. Respect and admiration for our ancestors aids the feeling of actual contact immensely. Speak and think no ill of the dead; they did their best just as you are doing yours.
Allow your ancestors to remind you of that which is sacred in respect to your life and your relationship to others and the world. Ask your ancestor for his or her wisdom and inspiration when you are having any difficulties in your life. Keep in mind that they may speak to you in quiet, subtle ways, while they protect and guide you. Gently take note of every image and feeling that comes to you during your session for symbols and feelings are the language of the soul.

Meaningful Coincidences
The word synchronicity is derived from the Greek syn meaning “together” and chronos meaning “time.” The pioneering psychologist Carl Jung’s Theory of Synchronicity postulated that things that occur at the same moment have a relationship of significance, if not of actual causality. This prescient theory predates Benoit Mandelbrot’s Chaos Theory, which can now prove scientifically that a butterfly flapping its wings in Japan has a measurable and predictable affect on the weather in San Francisco.
We have been told we are all connected by everyone from the founders of every religion to Albert Einstein’s formula E=MC2 and even by many modern advertising campaigns. However, nothing compares to the wonder and excitement of seeing this fact in action and actually experiencing synchronicity in one’s life. There are as many ways to experience these “meaningful coincidences” as there are people in the world, yet some people see them as mere chance, while to others they are the living proof of the Great Spirit that animates all things.
Since the earliest days of humankind, it has been accepted without question that these moments of synchronicity and especially the people who were able to interpret and even predict special events are agents of the Divine. They became known as “oracles.” Like the three-legged stool upon which sat the most famous of them all, the legendary Oracle of Apollo at Delphi, the word oracle has three meanings: An oracle is the person who gives the pronouncement of the deity or divine force from when the message comes; it is the shrine where the message is given; and it is the message, itself.
Turning for inspiration and guidance to an oracle like the tarot and the other divination systems I have created is just like looking for information on the Internet. There is an almost infinite amount of it out there for you to access, but whatever information you find is only going to help you to the degree that you know how to interpret and make use of it. Using an oracle regularly creates a ritual space in one’s life where we can restore our connection with the quiet voice of our higher mind and benefit from its wise guidance. Creating this oasis of calm in the midst of the hectic pace of modern life helps us tune into the meaningful coincidences that help to give our lives meaning.

Vegetarian
When You’re A Vegetarian And Your Love Interest Is Not
For six years prior to meeting my wife, Amy Zerner, I had been a strict vegetarian and, unfortunately, the kind of person you never want anywhere near you when you are eating or even thinking about eating. I was so boring! I did not eat any meat, fish, eggs, or dairy products, which is all well and good (double entendre intended). I was not content just to practice my vegetarian ways and let my good example and glowing health be the best sermon. I was filled with self-righteousness instead of actual concern for the people I was annoying “for their own good.”
Amy and I met in 1974 when I was a twenty-four year old rock musician (code words for “drug taker”) and the hypocrisy of purifying my body and then polluting it with marijuana and cocaine wasn’t apparent to me then. Plus, I would fast for days at a time, sometimes a week or more, which had the effect of making me an even bigger pain in the butt from being so lightheaded. I was so judgmental about being natural and pure that I had actually vowed never to even date a woman who wore eye makeup!
Fortunately, my yearning to live a life as pure and spiritual as possible had within it a built-in safety valve that saved me from my own rigid stupidity. I know now that being a spiritual person is being a kind, considerate, and supportive person. However, at that time I had all kinds of magical expectations attached to what I thought my experience of true spirituality would be, all of them unreasonable expectations. Luckily, at the heart of even the most impenetrable of sacred teachings was the admonishment to the sincere seeker to remember their own ignorance. I had reached the point of being aware of my own ignorance and it led to my having an enchanted relationship.
My previous decade living the young musician’s life had shown me more than enough examples of my being wrong to put me on the lookout for future spectacular failures of knowledge, judgment, and timing. So when I met Amy, at the filming of a rooftop party scene for “Up The Girls,” billed as the first feminist porno movie, I was able to see through my own prejudices and Amy’s heavy eye makeup and into her rich brown eyes and her sweet heart.
There she was, puffing on a cigarette and having some bacon wrapped cocktail franks off a waiter’s tray, both of them passing in front of me like the Sirens on their island of temptation passing Odysseus, deafened to their song and bound to the mast of his ship, just in case. Like all men lucky enough to live in the free world and especially in New York City, I was not bound to any mast except the one all men hold dear and that, too, saved me from a life of no meat and no Amy. I thought she was beautiful and couldn’t stop staring at her. Suddenly, food was the last thing on my mind and she was the first thing.
“Put your relationship first, above everything else,” our first and most important rule for having an enchanted relationship, was probably born from my lapsed vegetarianism. I think one of the first things I said to her was “Don’t these cocktail franks taste incredible! For six years, the smell of bacon has been driving me crazy!”
It was a two-way street; she stopped smoking in 1974 and now eats healthier than I do. Whether it was pheromones, fate, or fatal nitrate attraction, I’ll never know. All I know is that I took the perfectionism and worried criticism out of my ears and let her beautiful voice weave me into the tapestry of her life and our life together.

The Power of Ritual
Rituals acknowledge the existence of a higher power in ourselves and in our world. One of the primary functions of rituals is to build a spiritual connection in our daily lives. They also reinforce our desires and strengthen our intent as we work to materialize those desires. At the same time, they remind us of our inseparable connection to the natural world. Rituals can help us to remember that we are part of the rhythms and cycles of nature.
Ritual is a way of both reminding ourselves of our immense capabilities and of calling them into being for our use. This is true power. Thoughts and beliefs are vibrations of energy that can influence us in a very deep way. If we consciously turn within and integrate positive habits to clear, rebalance, and heal ourselves, we can move our assimilating abilities “up” so we can better cope and tap into a healthy, clear flow of energy that frees our circuits from being clogged. This process helps us to feel and function better at higher levels of clarity.
RITUAL FOR SELF- EMPOWERMENT
As you take a shower or bath, meditate upon your intention for self-empowerment.
Allow yourself to feel your inner strength and beauty.
Let go of the critic’s voice that you have no need of.
Visualize all of the negativity that you carry with you washing away, down the drain.
After you are finished, when you dry yourself off,
Look into a mirror and imagine a glowing white light all around you.
Say the following words to yourself:
“I feel my beauty.
And my inner strength.
I will allow my love, light,
And laughter to empower me
And those around me.”
