It’s officially the “holiday” season. We’ve hopefully enjoyed some time with family, friends or in solitude last week and given thanks for what’s good in our lives. And now we move toward the winter holidays, like Christmas and Hanukah. Some of us welcome this season wholeheartedly, and others struggle with the complicated dynamics of family, commercialism, religion, memories of times past…you get the idea.

Sandra Ingerman always has inspiring ideas to share, and in this month’s Transmutation News she talks about unconditional love and its importance in healing and transformation. She says, “Holding a state of universal and unconditional love is the greatest gift that we can give loved ones and all life on earth.”  It beats an iPad under the tree…wait…OK, yes, it actually does beat an iPad, but it’s beyond challenging to deliver sometimes.

She also shares an idea for a ceremony working with trees that comes from Siberian shamanism. It helps us connect to the sacred, bridging heaven and earth, during this special time of year. Maybe a new ritual for your family? Hope you enjoy the article.

Wishing you a peaceful heart,

Mara
