Lumina Dei Newsletter December 2010
Dear friends,
What does the Spirit of Christmas mean to you? What is the true essence of this holy season? How do you want to celebrate the holidays from your authentic self?
It is not just about shopping for gifts for your loved ones. Spirit of Christmas doesn’t mean going into debt in order to buy everyone on your list a gift.
Are you stressing about all that you have yet to accomplish before the big holiday? Are you overwhelmed by thoughts of how much it will cost you financially, energetically? It’s time to go within to find your true Spirit of Christmas.
Meditation
Meditation is a wonderful way to go withinto discover what the Spirit of Christmas means to you. Yes, most of us are very busy so let’s keep it simple.All you need is about 15 minutes of quiet time, a comfortable place to sit or lie such as a chair, cushion, or floor.
Yourmeditation can be donein a quiet room, a parked car or just about anywhere. Just make sure that you can relax without distractions or interruptions. This is your special time to connect with Source.
Through meditation in the moment you get in touch with who you truly are, your authentic self and what works for you.You are spirit not your thoughts. The way to connect with your true essence in through the practice of daily quietude. In order to access your authentic self you need to go into the inner silence.
Intention
The intention of meditation is to quiet your mind so that you can connect consciously to who you truly are-spirit. You are not your thoughts, your emotions nor your body. You are divine.
The thoughts from the mind tend to be loud and come from ego. With intention in meditation we get in touch with the inner voice of God, the still small voice.
In order to hear it we must quiet the mind by focusing on the breath. In and out, moment to moment, breathing and relaxing. Thoughts jump in to take back control, so just bring your focus back to the breath again and again. Even if the entire meditation session is spent bringing the mind back to focus you will still reap the benefits of this jewel for self discovery through intention.
With intention each time you meditate you add a drop of oil to your inner lamp. One drop doesn’t seem like much. Over time it is accumulative as you fill your lamp to brim with the oil of truth which serves as your compass on your journey.
Inner Voice
Listen to the inner voice when you pose your question.” What does the spirit of Christmas mean to me?” or “What is the essence of this holiday season?” The answer may come right away or you may receive it when you least expect it. Just stay open.
Many years ago I posed this same question in meditation. At first I saw how resistant I was to the commercialization of Christmas and how I had often gone into debt to buy gifts for loved ones. The realization came to me through my inner voice that the spirit of Christmas for me was about expressing my love to God, my family, friends and community.
There are so many ways to show my love to my family without going into debt. “Keep it simple.” was the next message from my inner voice. Ah, the stress started to melt away. My heart opened as I became excited by the creative possibilities to express love.
Now for the past few years my husband and I have hosted Christmas brunch for our loved ones at home. The gifts we give are simple and affordable from the heart. Most importantly we really enjoy being together in celebration of the love we have for one another, Jesus, God and the Sacred Feminine.
Living your Truth
Living your truth is about discovering for yourself the true essence of the holiday season and what it means to you. In order to do this you need to focus on self love. Give yourself the time, intention and focus to still your mind through meditation for at least 15 minutes a day. Receive the guidance from the still, small voice within you. Bring the guidance into reality with action.
This is about living your truth not the truth of others or the mass consciousness. Celebrate God, the birth of Jesus, yourself, loved ones, community and life itself. Be the essence of love that you are by living love consciously.
Living your truth and living the spirit of Christmas is personal. Express your authentic self in your unique way during this Holy Season and really be in the joy of the experience.
Merry Christmas andHappy Holidays to one and all.
