Today’s guest post comes from Esther Rumfelt of Millennium Coaching.
Using the Law of Attraction
What is the Law of Attraction? Basically it’s a universal law of like attracting like. If we focus our thoughts and feelings on abundance we’ll attract more abundance. By the same token if we focus on lack, we’ll attract more lack. The Law of Attraction doesn’t differentiate between good and bad, it just responds to the feelings and vibrations we send out.
We all use the Law of Attraction daily whether we know it or not. Each day we create our reality [...]
I’m not deliberately trying to reference Duran Duran here. But it is Monday, and the new moon hits as of 11:51 p.m. PDT. So there you go.
The New Moon is a time for tying up loose ends and rounding out the release of the waning moon, in preparation for putting plans into action during the waxing moon.
Much of the world jolted to a standstill yesterday with the news that Osama bin Laden had been killed. For some, this is a huge morale boost after a long hunt and several long wars that will continue. For others, this is a huge [...]
Passover begins tonight at sundown, and Jews — and non-Jewish family and friends — will gather around seder tables to share maztoh and recount the Exodus story.
One of the things I love most about Passover — also called Pesach — is the tradition of keeping the story of freedom alive and making it relevant to us today. We can see the liberation of the Hebrews in Egypt reflected in the democratic movement sweeping North African and Middle Eastern countries, and we can lament the continued modern-day slavery of sweat-shop workers, women and children caught in the sex trade and other [...]
This will be a quick entry from me today . . . In my email inbox this morning, I found a “thought for the day” that really spoke to something I’ve been struggling with for quite a while:
“We keep thinking of deity as a kind of fact, somewhere; God as a fact. God is simply our own notion of something that is symbolic of transcendence and mystery. The mystery is what’s important.”
–Joseph Campbell
This may seem strange — since I’m a religious studies scholar and seminary-trained interfaith minister — but I’ve long had trouble [...]
Valentine’s Day isn’t a religious holiday for any particular faith tradition — should I add a “Hallmark” category for The Green Soul Guide? — but it is celebrated and observed in many ways by people of many faiths and cultures.
I hadn’t intended to write an entry on February 14th for The Green Soul Guide, but I was inspired by breakfast. Every day is a new opportunity to align — or in some cases, re-align — with my goals and intentions, and I made the decision to start the day with a small bowl of low-fat yogurt, topped with bran flakes [...]
In my previous post on the Fall Equinox, I neglected to mention the Vernal Equinox Siberian Husky Memorial Candle Ceremony, which is observed today by groups and individuals around the world.
It is a powerful experience to lose a companion animal. When I lost Nanook just over four years ago (September 19, 2006), I was absolutely devastated — actually, friends and family can tell you that “devastated” doesn’t begin to cover it. I placed Nanook’s name on this list, and while there was no lessening of my grief, there was solace in the knowledge that his memory was being honored by [...]
The Autumnal Equinox comes as something of a relief to me this year. While Mike contents himself that the winter solstice (when daylight starts lengthening) is only three months away, I’m happy to be entering the dark half of the year.
Fall and winter are when I recharge. I’m not opposed to daylight, but being out in the sun too long does wipe me out. The dark half of the year — between the autumnal and vernal equinoxes (Mabon to Ostara) — is generally when I feel the most comfortable. Maybe it’s because my birthday falls during this time, or that [...]
