There’s no religion higher than kindness. This month’s theme, Uplifting Humanity, encompasses being kind, religiously. Tantamount to being kind to others is being kind to one’s self in one’s thoughts. Kindness activates an actual alchemy within that releases endorphins and other feel-good humors. Having the ability to be kind is a gift internally, showing up as enriched human “currency” in the world of form. Opposite to anger/harshness, which causes internal and external inflammation, kindness heals. Deepak Chopra shares this and more in his new book, The Quantum Body.

 

Read and experiment within yourself, Exploring Intermittent Fasting (IF). IF is a highly effective tool in resetting the internal guidance system for not just physical/nutritional intake, but also for achieving higher states of consciousness, helping to overcome challenges and obstacles heretofore immovable.

 

The Grace of Giving and Receiving, rooted in the internal feelings encompassing gratitude, is “often felt the most by those who have lived through loss or trauma.” Healing through generosity of spirit will always return to sender—The Law of the Circle.

 

Must-see-do is this month’s Homemade Pet Playthings, replete with bunny, kitty and doggy DIY gifts. From T-shirt tug toy to rabbit castle to birdseed ornaments for avian aficionados, looks like fun making these gifts.

 

With an open heart and an open mind, I hope you enjoy this issue. Happiest Holidays.
