Spring is such a season of change! Last week it was chilly and wet, this past week the sun came shining forth with temps in the 70s. Now it's back to "normal," with coolish temps and rain forecast for the Easter weekend. As they say, April showers bring May flowers! And, boy, do they here in Northwest Oregon!The meaning of Easter celebrated as it is during springtime, is a spiritual reminder of the transcendant quality of life. No matter how "bad" things seem, or how "powerless" we may think we are to change it, life always gets through our pesky egos to try to teach us about transcendance.
Zen teachers say the solution to any problem is in the problem itself. And nowhere else is this truer than within human psychology. Once we can recognize that the mind creates its own experience of life, our thoughts become our remote controls--controlling the kind of experience we have in life. Every thought or judgement is a "self-fulfilling prophecy."
It can be like wearing emotional glasses. We put on fearful glasses, and everything we see is fearful. We put on depressed glasses, and everything looks hopeless. A good exercise is to pretend to put on joyful glasses, and then just begin to see the little things around us that look joyful. Soon, more and more things seem joyful, and finally, we feel joyful. It's all a matter of perception.
I came across a great free download from the HeartMath Institute's founder Doc Childre. It is the De-Stress Kit for the Changing Times. I highly recommend downloading both the article and audio, and read along with the narrator. The material offers 15 exercises that will help de-stress whatever it is that is lowering your quality of life. Any ONE of these exercises could do the trick, so having 15 of them pretty much guarantees you'll be able to transcend whatever negativity is nagging at you, or draining your energy.
To celebrate this hope for transcedance during the Easter season of Spring, we're offering our handmade, very soothing, essential oils soaps by Venables Valley from beautiful British Columbia. These are such a treat to bathe with, so relaxing and de-stressing. You'll love them!
Also, we're having a 50% OFF CLEARANCE SALE on our remaining Throat and 3rd Eye Chi Bracelets (1 ea.) and our remaining four Chi Necklaces. It's first come, first serve, so call us toll-free 888-301-6773 right away to order this very strenghtening and energetic jewelry for half off!
May your Spring be a springboard to joy!
