Let Yourself Become the Butterfly

"'How does one become a butterfly?' she asked pensively.

'You must want to fly so much that you are willing

to give up being a caterpillar.'"

topic:  A meaningful holiday

Listen Now

Topic: All month we'll be helping you de-stress for the holidays.  Whatever religion you practice or spiritual path you are on, this time of the year is one celebrated by all as the season of light, where we connect with others and spread joy. Too many of us are feeling disconnected because of the economy, the various wars or our own personal situations. Talk with us as we discuss ways to bring meaning back to your holidays!  (Original Airdate: 12/14/09) 

An Inspirational Year:  Muselan's newest release!

Ideas:  First and foremost, challenge your beliefs around what you feel you "should" do.  You don't have to do something.  Make sure it is coming from your heart or don't do it or have the other person "seduce you with their needs".

Ideas for stress-free giving:

• Time: commit to spend time with a friend rather than exchanging gifts
• Food: make cookies, breads, spice mixes, food kits to share with friends
• Homemade Gifts: scarves, soaps, beeswax candles

Make new rituals:

• Bowling
• Chinese food
• New pajamas and polar express
• Change what you have always done unless you truly enjoy it

Next week (12/21/09):  The third of our holidays series - bringing peace and calm to your holidays. Join us for insights and tips and discuss ways to de-stress before the big holiday gatherings (or maybe even after!). We'll also treat you to a wonderful visualization and relaxation exercise to truly bring some peace into your life.

A New Month and New Things To Study

With the turn of a new month, there are new things to study:

Yoga:  on musasana, we are studying Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge Pose).  Here are some ideas to incorporate into your practice.  (And you can check out our new site!)

Awaken to Joy:  This month we are studying Eating.  What can you shift around your eating to bring more joy into your life?  Letting go of self-judgment?  Eating more consciously?  What if everything you eat this month nourishes you?  Share with us your ideas for what you want to study.

Oh, and on tomorrow's Awaken to Joy Radio Show, MuseMarya and I are going to discuss Expectactions.  How do YOUR expectations affect your joy?  Listen live at 3 pm CDT at Contact Talk Radio.  You can call us live or email us your thoughts and questions.  We would love to hear from you!  You can also listen to previous shows.
