January 3- FECUNDITY

Twelve Nights of Christmas: # 10, Fecundity

Celebrate the richness of your imagination. Hold this vision and then plan tomorrow's activities. Keep it alive during the day.

Fecundity, according to the American Heritage Dictionary:

1.The quality or power of producing abundantly; fruitfulness or fertility.

2.Productive or creative power: fecundity of the mind.

If I were Queen of the Universe, we'd all be living happily ever after. I spent the first half of my life as a bleeding heart, and I'm beginning to think that some of us have got to start leading people out of the desert as opposed to organizing water collection and delivery to the drought stricken areas!

The Queen of this universe has the power to write a screenplay for the dawning of each new day. She orders peace, good health, happiness and abundance for her kingdom. Her vision is so powerful that only those who accept those "orders" are able to find their way to her kingdom. Marauding wanderers simply pass on by, unaware.

January 2- EQUANIMITY

Twelve Nights of Christmas: #9, Equanimity

Pick a recent event and review it in light of various possible emotions like happiness, anger and fear.

Well, Christmas should fit the bill quite nicely. It's been woven long enough within our DNA to elicit some deep emotions.

Christmas angers a lot of folks who feel pressured into giving and receiving, decorating and being merry. It's a time when guilt might surface when you're presented with a gift and have none to reciprocate. It might be a time of sadness if you find yourself far from family or more anger if not given the time off to celebrate.

Christmas is redolent with sensual memories that are exaggerated by mass participation. Reminders are everywhere: a six inch artificial tree sits atop a rusted refrigerator in a service station in the high desert.

But Christmas is, what it is. We get to choose our way to celebrate and with that, the way we want to feel.If it's anything but good, year after year, it has nothing to do with the greeter at Wal-Mart or the decorations that appear the day after Halloween. It's all in the shoes we decide to step into and the place we choose to stand.

January 1- REFLECTIVITY

The Twelve Nights of Christmas: #8, Reflectivity

Let an image from the outer world settle in your mind and write down five thoughts you associate with it. Reflect on it and how you might transform it.

When I sat for a few minutes this morning, eyes closed and gazing into my heart center, I saw a shaft of light (as I always do) much like the vertical rays in the photo. I knew then that I wanted to find a photo of light entering a cave for this 8th Night posting.

Here are my five thoughts, aroused by the photograph which I have named "My Heart Center":

1. I am never alone. The solidity of my soul is represented by the rock on the right side of the photograph, Source Energy is the Light that enters from the top and goes right through me.

2. This is my retreat. Cool and clear water trickles through, the air is crisp and clean and I am at peace when I'm here.

3. This is my fortress. This space is physically inaccessible and safe from the energies that do not sustain me.

4. The rays at a forty-five degree angle symbolize interaction. I intend to offer and accept only what is good for all.

5. Where both lights intersect, Love exists. May I always be aware of this.
