Here we are in December & heading toward the end of year festivities & the *WINTER SOLSTICE* which announces beginning of Winter.
It's a good time to pause & consider the Winter ahead... which can evoke mixed feelings... ~ as the days shorten, how will we keep that inner flame bright & steady, fully enjoy the season's offerings & keep those Winter blues at bay ?!
Of the three Gunas (qualities), TAMAS governs this time of year with Nature's release back the earth ~ its attributes of heaviness & solidity can help us to pause, re-set & re-charge but too much of this heavy & dull aspect can get us down. Regular, balanced practice helps to counter this, keeping alight the Summer's RAJA energy ~ our bright inner sparkle & fire/Agni in our belly ~ & help establish us in the balance of SATTWA, calm & peacefulness, equanimity, gratitude & joy ~ to keep our inner flame shining steady & bright throughout the dark & twinkling nights !

~ "The bonds of our hearts create a society in which people can feel secure" ~
"Instead of giving space to prejudices,
We should encourage and support each other.
The bonds from heart to heart
Will create a society, in which people can feel secure.
“Is everything alright?”, “Are you well?”
“Please give your best!”
Let us always send words of encouragement.
When hearts are connecting
New energy will be created.
This energy will surely open a new path.
The act of encouraging others
Will generate courage in ourselves.
Encouragement changes the
Person in front of us,
As well as ourselves.
What is important is
To bring relief to people’s hearts,
To strengthen and exhilarate them.
Even though we cannot meet,
A word or sentence on the phone
Can help to tear down the walls in front of us.
Sometimes, a short written message
Can change the life of others.
Just to listen patiently
To what the other person has to say,
Can relieve their heart.
Listening to someone is itself
A concrete realization of what Buddhism teaches
And will help to take away sorrows and to give joy.
Encouragement gives security, hope and courage
To the people.
It elevates life-state
And draws out the power not to be defeated by anything.
Listening is an act to inspire the spirit of others.
One’s own heart that seeks for the happiness of others
Is the essence of encouragement."
