Healing Hands

There are millions of doctors in the world. Many of them hold degrees of higher learning. In Western culture, we have traditionally gone to a local expert in the field of clinical medicine, when we experience any type of ailment.

However, not all methods of healing come in one specific formula. There are energy healers, faith healers and many different kinds of holistic healing applications.  Some methods range from teas to touching rocks, having prayers said and even certain musical notes are played to aid in healing. People have used a variety of methods throughout time in order to help with problems of the mind, flesh and spirit.

We do not need to give up knowledge and control of our bodies to "experts" in order to receive the gift of healing. Modern technology has its place in the realm of healing. But, let us not forget that the original, natural methods have worked with little to no side-effect for millions of years.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"The power to heal is within each one of us. Whether we use knowledge, crystals, candles, swords or prayer; healing is a holistic practice as old as humankind." tc

Garden Delight

I love to garden! Have you ever planted a flower, bush or vegetable? I get so excited waiting for the first shoots to pop through the soil. Watching the plant grow and strenthen is a slow process but when the first flower buds open or the fruit begins to ripen, it is as if, I was a helper in giving it life.

Our life experience is very similar. There are hundreds of seeds planted around us everyday.
Some of the seeds are: warmth, kindness, love and freindship, while others are: mean, deceptive, doubtful and negative. Both kinds of seeds will grow if they are nurtured.

With the right blend of love, light and support, we can choose to facilitate the growth of the positive seeds.  These types of seeds naturally weed out the negative seeds in life. However, if we choose to nurture the mean, angry, jealous types of seeds, our garden will become overrun with weeds and choke out all other life. Our flowers and fruit will easily wither under the heat of the summer sun.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"Like the seeds that you plant in a prepared garden bed, the more positive ones that you nurture, the healthier your fruit will be." tc
