Holidays! Take a Break (December 2021 Newsletter)

Thank you to Fourth Avenue Christian Church for hanging the wreath, and for all their kindness and generosity. The church, Pastor Ken Slenkovich, Tom Davis and family, and the congregation has made it possible for us to stay in our beautiful studio and in business, through these many months of shutdowns and slowdowns.

The end of the year is a time for gathering and celebrating. Gather with an open mind. Celebrate mindfully; every gift chosen with discernment and care; every hug meaningful and warm, every bite of food enjoyed fully by each mouthful. Accept whatever it is in the spirit in which it was meant.

When the selection, preparation and presentation are fully focused on, it becomes a meditation in itself. It is deep and soulful. It is quiet and heartfelt. In the Tantric sense - one of sensuality with all senses engaged - physical, mental and spiritual – it becomes self-absorbing, and an act of devotion. Find the rapture and the Union with your Real Self, let it become Samadhi (the union with the Divine).

Happy Holidays. May it be free of stress, full of good health, love, and laughter.

Namaste,
