A Spiritual Approach to the Holidays
This year, I want to encourage you to use your holiday giving as a vehicle for the expression of your spirituality. I highly recommend that you avoid the glamour of consumerism and giving of “things” for the sake of having a gift for someone. It would be far better to give something from the heart that benefits the recipient at a deeper level.
There are many options that don’t involve giving things, some include:
- Make a donation to charity in the person’s name
- Visit websites such as www.worldvisiongifts.org and purchase an animal for a third-world family in someone’s name
Give the gift of services, there are many marvelous practitioners who would also benefit:
- Purchase a massage for a stressed out friend
- Gift an acupuncture treatment to someone with anxiety
- Buy a gift certificate for aromatherapy, or sound healing, or any number of other healing modalities
If you would prefer a physical gift, consider consciousness-raising books like:
- The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell
- A New World by Ekhart Tolle
- Your Essential Whisper by LaRue Eppler and Vanessa Tabor Wesley
Or healing books such as:
- Energy Medicine by Donna Eden
- Your Hands Can Heal You by Master Stephen Co

If you are concerned about coping with all the negative energy generated during the holidays, or picked up while among the shopping crowds, or dealing with relatives at family events… you might consider our DVD: Energy Hygiene – Sense Clean and Protect Your Energy. Learn more…
