Re: [AlternativeAnswers] Fitting in or Standing Out

 

Thank you for this Joan...
Something I do struggle with....may I please share this with others?
With love,
 Dawn

Subject: [AlternativeAnswers] Fitting in or Standing Out

One of the most common question I'm asked by most of my clients and many of my students is whether developing the Self conflicts with or jeopardizes family, relationships and other social connections.
I find the question intriguing because it addresses a much more complex issue than most of those asking actually realize.
To begin with, the question itself demonstrates the all too common tendency to categorize things into polar aspects that never seem to meet or merge. Its either black OR white- never grey. Its good OR bad never neutral. Therefore it must be the Self OR connecting to others.

Either connect inward OR outward.

Mystics have said that at the moment of creation the One energy polarized itself into seeming duality ; good / evil, male /female, Yin/Yang etc and that the tension between these polar opposites is what causes the universe to manifest.

Relating to these polar aspects in terms of duality is misleading and incorrect because they are intrinsically dependent on each other. The one makes no sense and in fact can't exist without the other. They are inter-dependent and inter-connected and as such are not opposites but rather polar aspects of the same thing or process. They reflect polar possibilities within a fluid spectrum. Between these polar aspects lie infinite possibilities containing qualities of both.
If we take positive verses negative as an example, nothing is absolutely positive or absolutely negative. Positive things can turn out to have very negative effects and negative things can introduce very positive outcomes.

In this  "game of black and white"  we not only categorize things into seeming dual opposites, we also add a rule that Bill Harris, Founder and director of Centerpointe Research Institute calls: "

White Must Win".
 
"White Must Win" implies that we choose one of the polar options and insist that it win over the other. We decide that good must win over bad, life should win over death without and so on failing to acknowledge  they are completely inter-dependent and can't exist without each other.

This approach causes a lot of suffering because we strive for something that is unattainable. The more we insist the more suffering we experience. ( Topic for another blog ).
Getting back to the Self verses relationships, they are not polar opposites but different aspect of the same thing therefore can't win over each other.

In practical terms this means that developing the Self does not require disconnecting relationships nor should relationships be at the expense of developing the self.

The problem is that in practicality many conflicts do arise. Developing the Self requires time and focus and often directs you in directions that conflict with previous decisions, commitments and connections. Balancing the two can be challenging.

If you add social norms that confuse self-development with egoism plus the psychological need to belong and fear of abandonment and ostracism, many people get bogged down and prefer status quo over

Self- searching into the unknown.

I personally believe that the two compliment and support each other. I do admit that for that to be practical you definitely need the right partners. Relationships based on possession and fear of loss cannot allow growth as it threatens the mere existence of the relationship.

Developing the Self implies awakening aspects of the Self that were previously unavailable. This considerably expands available inner resources allowing for more diverse self expression, self manifestation and potential experiences.

As growth enriches the Self, so can relationships be inspired and nurtured by the new potential. As the Self expands what is available to it, simultaneously, new horizons become available to relationships opening options to experience interaction in exciting new ways.
If balanced correctly all parties involved have only to benefit.

Good Morning!

Recipe: Seasonal Simmers: Fall Inspiration

Simmers are a special mixture of herbs and spices, which are combined
into a blend or potion, created to bring the power of aromatherapy
and intention into your life. They are also designed to capture the
attention of those around you and creates a wonderful tea. You will also find
some of my favorite Fall essential oil diffusions.

Based on folk remedies, grandma's recipes and the ingredients
provided by nature, these simmers are recipes used to make your
kitchen smell delightful. They can be used along with a "special
intention" and later, can even be enjoyed as tea!

Autumn Elegance

Used for: scenting the kitchen/any room with aromatherapy, inviting
Fall, honoring Halloween, as a love potion.

-Blend 2-4 cups of apple cider or apple juice with:
-1 apple cut into small pieces
-1 pinch of nutmeg
-1 cinnamon stick

Slowly simmer on the stove. Allow the smell to permeate the room.

Walk In The Woods

This is a nice recipe for an essential oil diffuser.

Add water to the diffuser and light the candle underneath
- Add 3 drops of Vetiver
- Add 2 drops of Patchuoli
- Add 2 drops of Cedarwood

A Spicy Fall Blend

-Add 10 drops of Lavender
- 5 drops of ginger
- 2 quarts of water.

Set your stove on extremely low to allow the steam to diffuse into the air. You
can also do the same with a tea pot without a whistle. Remember to always watch
the stove and turn it off when no adults are present.

Fall Citrus Delight:

- Add 10 drops of Bergamot
- 4 drops of Clove
- 3 drops of Cinnamon
- add to water in a diffuser.

Light a tea light under the oil to gently diffuse the scent into any room.

Special Notes:

With each simmer you can:

-take advantage of their aromatic properties.

-say a positive affirmation, invoking words, a special prayer or give
thanks.

-use them at the start of each season to give honor to yourself and
your intentions for that season.

-as it cools, share, drink, these simmers as a tea.

-the health properties of these ingredients are appropriate for each
season, relate to the internal organs and are associated by taste,
temperature and color.

[AlternativeAnswers] Honoring All Hallow's Eve: Intuition & Crystals to Enhance Mind Power

 

Good Morning!

Honoring All Hallow's Eve: Intuition & Crystals to Enhance Mind Power

Tuning in to any energy is the ability to quiet the mind, allowing your inner
self, or intuition, to perceive truth. By practicing this art, we develop a
sensitivity toward inner information and the ability to condition our mind to
listen on a much more subtle level. This developing can allow us the ability to
sense energy and actually perceive on an even more subconscious plane.

Techniques are vast and varied and include Meditation, Yoga, Qi Qong,
Visualization, Physical Exercise, Prayer or your own personal techniques, all of
which can be used in calming and clearing the mind and achieving clearer
perception. Greater self control and self balance, awareness, inner peace and
connective energy to the source of truth are all important in the path to
attunement.

As our minds are conditioned to listen in silence, responses come quicker and
clearer to us.

When we tend not to trust our intuition, there are two specific crystals which
can help.

Crystals Associated with Intuition

The power behind Earth's minerals can be felt the minute you put a crystal in
your hands or near your physical body. Crystals are the treasures of the earth.
These stones are filled with energy to be used. Some of the best crystals for
intuition include: Blue Lace Agate, Charoite, Hematite, Kyanite, Malachite,
Moldavite, Petalite, Phenacite and Tiger's Eye.

Blue Lace Agate Properties: Helps to focus on the inner source of love within
you that transforms and heals all wounds. Contains the qualities of flight, air,
movement, and grace. Highly inspirational when working with the inner self.
Works well with not only the Throat Chakra, but the Heart, Third Eye and Crown
Chakra. These stones (along with malachite) assist in left/right-brain balance.
Therefore, those who feel stuck in their logical, rational selves can rebalance
so that they may hear their intuitive voices.

Charoite Properties: The stone of transformation. Charoite helps seeing old
patterns with new possibilities. It is believed to open the heart, allow
inspiration, encourage service, and grants us the ability for seeing more
clearly (mentally, physically, psychically). It is believed that this stone
brings about faster healing. Some find it useful for entity release work. Most
effective on the upper centers of energy, which are the Heart, Brow and Crown
Chakra to transmute/lift us out of troubled or stuck emotions and most of all,
fear. This brings about vibrational change and therefore stimulates the Aura.
Use this stone for transforming negative energies into acceptance. Use Charoite
to assist in the foresight and ability to improve your intuitive vision.

Hematite Properties: This crystal is the most recommended stone for grounding
and is associated with the Root Chakra, by encourages ones survival instincts
and is centering. Hematite condenses scattered feelings, turns fuzziness into
mental clarity, enhances concentration, memory, practicality, helps those who
study, do bookkeeping, detailed work and helps with sound sleep. Considered the
symbol of life energy, hematite allows for more confidence, will power and
boldness. Helps us adjust to being physical. A protective stone and helps
bolster low self-esteem. Hematite is known to deflect negativity. It restores
equilibrium, stability and is also used for astral protection. It brings our
awareness back to the body and helps one maintain their sense of self.

Kyanite Properties: Kyanite is considered the "Earth Stone" due to its soothing
earth tone colors, as well as its grounding and tranquil nature. The healing
benefits depend on the color it comes in. Blue Kyanite is most effective when
placed on the Throat Chakra in order to open the throat for communication and
self expression. On the Brow (Third Eye) Chakra, it enhances psychic images,
foresight, consciousness and meditation. Kyanite is used to answer questions,
especially in imagery, such as in vision, dreams or written interpretations. It
brings out our natural ability to manifest things into reality via thoughts and
visualization.

Malachite Properties: Stimulates physical and psychic vision and concentration.
Use for the heart and solar plexus centers. These stones (along with blue lace
agate) assist in left/right-brain balance. Therefore, those who feel stuck in
their logical, rational selves can rebalance so that they may hear their
intuitive voices.

Moldavite Properties: Powerfully expands psychic abilities, channeling. On Heart
Chakra. Eases longing to leave earth. On pillow, brow, crown: Telepathic access
to spiritual laws, info from higher regions/places to help us and Earth to be
healthier and more spiritual.

Petalite Properties: Petalite is highly spiritual. It has been called the "stone
of the Angels " and will help one connect with one's guides. It is also said to
dissolve negativity and black magic spells. Petalite has been used on vision
quests for strength, protection, and peace. It will balance one's yin/yang
qualities as well as one's mind, body, and spirit. It also enhances one's
ability to feel energy in stones.

Phenacite: Properties: A powerfully loving, healing, spiritual stone. Clearer
stones intensely opens 3rd eye, Crown and Transpersonal Chakra as a white light
channel. Clairvoyance/spiritual communication, meditation, astral travel,
journeys. Helps one to map out a pathway within the dimensions. Energizes
meridians and healing of other stones. It is a powerful stone for clearing and
activating the chakras, in particular, the Third Eye and Crown chakras. It helps
one to go further in meditation, and gives a deep awareness of one's inner
structures, the chakras in particular. Phenacite in general can be used to
amplify the energies of other stones used for healing, and to balance energy
within one.

Tiger's Eye: Properties: This stone is most recognized for bringing money,
psychic protection, courage, luck confidence, willpower, clear thinking and
speaking to show us the personal power in life that we have. Very versatile for
the Yellow/Solar Plexus and Crown Chakra. Tiger's Eye works on our mental plane
by amplifying thinking and manifesting what you think about. Helps separate
thoughts from feelings, more centered, less emotional. Tiger's Eye allows us to
recognize both our talents and our faults. It can reveal your true needs without
our self-serving or rigid mental attitudes getting in the way. Use Tiger's Eye
with malachite or pearl to benefit from their synergy for mental/emotional
balance and true understanding. This stone helps change anxiety, fear and
obsessiveness into practicality and logic. Has the grounding energy of the
earth, but is embellished with a glowing warmth. A stone for people who need
more confidence to accomplish their goals. Draws helpful people and material
things to the wearer. Centers energy and mental focus. This stone helps us to
find our closest version of perfectionism without obsessive behavior.

Honoring All Hallow's Eve

Halloween originated from the Pagan festival Samhain, celebrated among the Celts
of Ireland and Great Britain. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of
the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century.

The term Halloween (and its alternative rendering Hallowe'en) is shortened from
All-hallow-even, as it is the eve of "All Hallows' Day",[1] also which is now
known as All Saints' Day. It was a day of religious festivities in various
northern European Pagan traditions, [2] until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV
moved the old Christian feast of All Saints' Day from May 13 to November 1. In
the ninth century, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in
accordance with the Florentine calendar. Although All Saints' Day is now
considered to occur one day after Halloween, the two holidays were, at that
time, celebrated on the same day. Liturgically, the Church traditionally
celebrated that day as the Vigil of All Saints, and, until 1970, a day of
fasting as well. Like other vigils, it was celebrated on the previous day if it
fell on a Sunday, although secular celebrations of the holiday remained on the
31st. The Vigil was suppressed in 1955, but was later restored in the
post-Vatican II calendar.

Many European cultural traditions, in particular Celtic cultures, hold that
Halloween is one of the liminal times of the year when spirits can make contact
with the physical world, and when magic is most potent (according to, for
example, Catalan mythology about witches and Irish tales.)

[AlternativeAnswers] Honoring All Hallow's Eve: Tips and Treats for a Healthy Halloween

 

Good Morning!

Honoring All Hallow's Eve: Tips and Treats for a Healthy Halloween

It is that time again. The time for all your ghosts, goblins and neighborhood
witches to come a knockin'.

When finding treats for your guests, you may want to consider low- calorie,
low-fat options. Snacks that are fun and good for your kid's health is a win-win
situation. Halloween/holiday packaging has even become more creative in recent
years to add to the enticement value. You may want to consider

Sugar-free gum
100% Juice boxes
Cheese sticks
Cheese and cracker snacks
Organic candied apples
Dark Chocolate treats
Popcorn or popcorn balls
Apples
Grapes
Bananas
Unshelled peanuts
Low sugar cookies, pumpkin muffins or peanut butter drops (see below)

There are great non-food treats you can offer such as rubber spiders or worms,
stickers, baseball cards, balloons, crazy top pencils, crayons, colored chalk,
comic erasers and whistles.

Make sure all your treats are individually wrapped. Even the non-food goods. If
you buy in bulk, you can find great little gift bags you can fill and then close
them up with a twist or steam seal. Tag your goodies with a note with your name
and address. This eases the mind's of fellow parents.

Safety Comes First

Be sure your kid's costumes are flame-resistant. If there is a mask with the
costume, be sure they have plenty of breathing room and make sure the mask does
not obstruct their view. Comfortable shoes are important to avoid blisters and
accessories should be kept to a minimum, the younger the child is.

Be sure and impose the basic rules:

1. If not accompanied by a parent, be sure kids travel in groups.

2. Keep on sidewalks as much as possible. If there are no sidewalks, stay to the
extreme side of the road.

3. Carrying a flashlight or glowstick.

4. Reflective stickers can added to costumes and shoes.

5. Visit homes that you know. Most people will keep a light on the front porch
as a welcome indicator.

6. Be sure to tell the kids to always be pleasant, courteous and thankful.

7. It is always a good precaution to examine all treats before letting your
children eat them to be sure they have not been tampered with. Be sure packaged
candies are unopened and fruits and vegetables are in good condition. Cut all
fruit in quarters before opening.

8. If you are inviting guests, turn on your front light or decorate your front
door to make it inviting to guests. Make sure your front door is not cluttered
with objects that children may trip over. If you have pets, be sure they are
secured away from the door.

9. Halloween parties at home can alleviate fears of your kids going outside,
especially if it happens to be bad weather.

10. Remember: safety comes first.

Halloween Treats

These are some great suggestions that the kids can help you make, if you have
kids. You can also have a great time making them yourself for your little guests
(or even your big guests!)

Scary Pizza Faces

Let kids arrange sliced olives, green peppers, mushrooms, pepperoni, and other
things on English muffins brushed with tomato sauce. Top with grated cheese for
"hair" and heat in the microwave or oven until the cheese melts.

Bat Droppings: Peanut Butter Drops

1 jar reduced fat Peanut Butter
1 box confectioner's sugar

Blend 4 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter with 3 teaspoons confectioner's
sugar. Add a little water of it is too binding. Then drop on a cookie sheet and
bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes.

Ghoulish Ghosts: Quick Pumpkin Cupcakes

1 box regular yellow or vanilla cake mix, 2-layer-size
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon oil
2/3 cup canned pumpkin
1-1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 cup water or apple juice
1 can ready made frosting or Light Cool Whip

Decorations:
Canned low-fat vanilla frosting
Candy corn
Black or orange jelly beans
Black licorice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray each muffin cup with nonstick cooking spray
or use paper cupcake liners. Blend the cake mix with the eggs, oil, pumpkin,
pumpkin pie spice, and the water or juice with mixer at low speed until
moistened. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Spoon into the prepared muffin
pan. Bake 18 minutes or until done. Cool in pan completely before frosting. Pile
the frosting/whip cream very high on the cupcake to resemble a ghost. Kids will
love to decorate these cupcakes. Makes about 18 cupcakes.

Monster Brains: Halloween Cereal Balls

1/4 cup Smart Balance margarine or butter
1 package (10 oz.) marshmallows
2 Tablespoons orange-flavored gelatin
6 cups crisp rice cereal
1/2 cup candy corn

[AlternativeAnswers] Recipe: Seasonal Simmers: Fall Inspiration

 

Good Morning!

Recipe: Seasonal Simmers: Fall Inspiration

Simmers are a special mixture of herbs and spices, which are combined
into a blend or potion, created to bring the power of aromatherapy
and intention into your life. They are also designed to capture the
attention of those around you and creates a wonderful tea. You will also find
some of my favorite Fall essential oil diffusions.

Based on folk remedies, grandma's recipes and the ingredients
provided by nature, these simmers are recipes used to make your
kitchen smell delightful. They can be used along with a "special
intention" and later, can even be enjoyed as tea!

Autumn Elegance

Used for: scenting the kitchen/any room with aromatherapy, inviting
Fall, honoring Halloween, as a love potion.

-Blend 2-4 cups of apple cider or apple juice with:
-1 apple cut into small pieces
-1 pinch of nutmeg
-1 cinnamon stick

Slowly simmer on the stove. Allow the smell to permeate the room.

Walk In The Woods

This is a nice recipe for an essential oil diffuser.

Add water to the diffuser and light the candle underneath
- Add 3 drops of Vetiver
- Add 2 drops of Patchuoli
- Add 2 drops of Cedarwood

A Spicy Fall Blend

-Add 10 drops of Lavender
- 5 drops of ginger
- 2 quarts of water.

Set your stove on extremely low to allow the steam to diffuse into the air. You
can also do the same with a tea pot without a whistle. Remember to always watch
the stove and turn it off when no adults are present.

Fall Citrus Delight:

- Add 10 drops of Bergamot
- 4 drops of Clove
- 3 drops of Cinnamon
- add to water in a diffuser.

Light a tea light under the oil to gently diffuse the scent into any room.

Special Notes:

With each simmer you can:

-take advantage of their aromatic properties.

-say a positive affirmation, invoking words, a special prayer or give
thanks.

-use them at the start of each season to give honor to yourself and
your intentions for that season.

-as it cools, share, drink, these simmers as a tea.

-the health properties of these ingredients are appropriate for each
season, relate to the internal organs and are associated by taste,
temperature and color.
