My Spiritual Windows

For the love of Nepal Today, I sat with a young co-worker, who along with her husband almost four years ago left Nepal behind and two young children with her parents to forge out a life in the United States. They have done very well in creating the life of a vision still taking form. She was raised with a private education that taught her western ways and languages very well understood, to integrate in a new land.  Like so many of us everyday, we have good days and bad, today she felt her day was less than perfect at work and was feeling down. After sitting for a few minutes, I asked her about her country and quickly her dark eyes lit up with a light showing through the very dark eyes she has as if a candle had been lit. Speaking of her country, Hindu faith, and telling the stories of her beliefs, -   though not just expressing them rather her tone turned into conversation you only feel when someone is truly in love. In love, with a land and faith with a whimsical way of s...

A Grandmother I knew – only in appearance Many people have memory of a person they knew, yet never got to know. I had two grandmothers, maternal and paternal. My maternal grandmother was everything you could want or desire from a grandma. Fun, loving, attentive, kind and always exciting, though at times, I wondered which of us the kid at play was and she was the grandma of my heart.  My paternal grandmother was the opposite, distant, cold, and withholding of any type of affection towards me. It is unique I suppose when the engagements between you and a grandmother in the way of speaking to each other, are fewer than the fingers on your hands. She would make me feel cold inside when I was around her, a sensing I was tolerated but not accepted. Two decades after she died I heard a co-worker use the phrase “red-headed step child” in reference to the separation between our office and the home office and in that instant it reminded me of my grandmother, thinking that is how I felt –...

Bold – The good, the bad and the ugly Our world has leaped into finding the bold , which resides within each of us. The Good, Bad and Ugly of the bold is the expression of this internal energy many had yet to experience. Bold, as a rule is a product of us in reaction to life itself. How the energy of bold is chosen to be used, becomes the result in response. We have seen heroes and villains created in how bold are expressed. The strength of bold can be without bounds, and for many bold is energy with little experience in being emitted into our lives. Finding the bold, tempering the bold if need be and using the bold energy for betterment are lessons still being learned, though no one is exempt.  Just as the air you breathe, the bold is coming forth in power. There are those who test the bold in creating acts unknown to their personalities and characters as if feeling strength for the first time which has not been found within, but relied on from another in life and bold can be...

A thought to remember Roxanne Green in response to her daughter being shot in Arizona on Saturday, has asked to remember the statement below when you think of the little girl she lost. One of the most powerful remembrances you could do for her, Christina or this country, take the advice from the mouth of a babe – give peace your attention rather than a shooter.  His wife, Roxanna Green, said she wanted people to know that her daughter was brave and intelligent, and hoped others would follow her example. "I hope people will look for hope, for change, for peace. That's what Christina would want. She wouldn't want us to be sad. She would just be like, 'Let's do something. Let's make this never ever happen again, so no one else has to get hurt,'" she said. http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/01/11/arizona.shooting/index.html?hpt=T1

“Training” a Pendulum Identifying a pendulum is not foreign to many people, though many times thought of as a religious tool. The pendulum is an energy tool, which can be trained, and become very useful if used properly. Made from a weighted object attached to a chain of stones, metals or a choice of symbols, their function remains the same regardless of the preference of shape and size. Training a pendulum is synchronizing the tool to your energy and becoming aware of the way it swings, and a movement given in response to yes or no. The pendulum works with your own highest energy in response.  Searching the Internet, you can find a plethora of information regarding pendulums in relation to the authors experience; this is only a slice of my knowledge of the pendulum. A pendulum can be used to align energy centers by holding the pendulum above an energy center and asking for the alignment and designating the pendulum stop when this is complete. Using the same intent, ...

Gave and take - “A living existence” Life is a cycle of reflection, forever recycling into meaning and understanding, not just a physical life – but one existence of living without ceasing to exist. Built into the cycle of living is gave and take. At this point, some might say I have that wrong it is give and take . We are talking about reflection rather than doing. Seeing it done with an opportunity in physical life to understand changes made and how they affect a new outcome, through the gave and take already a part of who we are. Observance is the reflecting pool of our eyes, heart, mind and soul working together to understand new endings of the take and receiving of the gave.  I went into work today and was given a task to be done, in partnership with another young girl. Five minutes later, she disappeared and I completed the take in parts, hers, and mine. Shortly thereafter, she reappeared offering to do the cleanup of the task. I told her I would complete what needed to ...
