No, I do not like Christmas. And it's not a pose, an opinion, a "porqueyolovalgo." It's a real phobia that reversed a painful somatization. Each year, two weeks before Christmas I get literally and physically sick and I have to make real efforts to mend because Christmas is unforgiving and there is plenty to do at Christmas, like it or not. Although I do not like me, do not live on a deserted island and the people around me is spinning in the world, in this case to the rhythm of Christmas Time: buying and preparing food, gifts that you can not slip, visits you can not escape, calls and emails to answer ... and I with the stomach cramped, unhealthy weakness, rash, nausea existential and a smile helmeted stereotyped every day ...
So today I woke up (still a bit dizzy and wimpy) with the intention of having a courageous year the fucking Christmas, New Year, kings, etc. and stay alive and continue being myself. And respect those who enjoy and believe in Christmas ...
But while not holding (only support) this holiday season, I do like to celebrate Yule, the winter solstice. The hunch, hope that, despite the cold and darkness, there is a little light on the horizon that heralds the return of the sun and light. The fire in my fireplace reflects the light of my sweet and generous interior that will be reborn in this new cycle for me to continue living with joy and giving my best.
We forget that giving is much more fun than receiving. As hijxs of consumer culture, we give out of sheer commitment to these parties, when in reality, the spirit that inhabits the Christmas presents, much older, pagan, is that it is an honor and a blessing to give away ... Best to buy and now that money is scarce, finding creative ways to express love through the gift is an experience full of joy.
"Letting go is easy and at the same time, rich and complex. The most important lesson, among others, the practice of giving and taking teaches us that embody the abundant love of all-what-is. That gives us an opportunity to express our gratitude for the prosperity we have in our lives and give thanks for our friends and our friends. Sometimes we can express the generosity of forgiveness to our enemies. This is the time to bring something new in the life of another person and may give new life to our stuff. And to receive, each one of us is it to love, forgiveness and compassion. It takes courage to take something because we deserve, we want it or worth. All hold together can be experienced at its most divine when we open ourselves to the flow of universal blessing.
The flow of the universe is the movement to give, take and receive, the gratitude and Thanksgiving and then put the power back into circulation. Nothing remains static in the movement of energy and each of us learn the lessons of being a generous giver and a grateful recepetora. Papers that we get along fairly well at different stages of our lives.
There are people subject to their desires they have to acquire things, until you realize that anything I get will satisfy you. From that personal wisdom may be why he hides his desire to find their real needs. Others feel so inclined to give and give they are exhausted. There are those who receive them as if they should, without the slightest thought of gratitude and not occur to them to give thanks for the abundance granted. Everyone seems depressing, but really are reflections of our life journey. If we face our own person learns uncomfortable truths and then we can transform ourselves into beings that we are truly sacred. We can get into the flow of the universe and all gifts and gift abrazor joyfully, knowing that we are all precious gifts and the goddess. "
