This time for me is especially about that tranquility and magic spreading around us with a grace.
I honestly enjoy this atmosphere with all decorations, lights and quite significant time spent in the kitchen to bring the most of this time into our home and tune up the soundtrack of our mind, the happiness, into the high vibration. This Christmas time is really close to my soul.I don't believe that we should be ''kind'' and ''nice'' only because it's Christmas, what you can be listened in many songs of this season. We should use this time to see what our existence is really about. Me and my husband have decided not to buy any presents for each other, since we want to bring the realness of this precious time into our life not using the materialistic items which ''joy effect'' is just temporary. You get the present, but the effect of the real happiness will not last. The real happiness reflect how you feel here and now, not if and when you get something etc. A profound sense of joy is something that can only exist in the deepest reaches of our life, and this time is literally the foundation to explore it, live it and do not let it go.
We are able to be spontaneously and honestly happy, vibrating the energy around. People are able to forget, forgive and simple be present during this time.
We should take it with us into our souls and cultivate it for the rest of the days of our lives. Perceive it, live it. Let's make this magic seen and spread around massively love and understanding, compassion,faith, faith in ourselves. Let's do the good things, let's be good to each other.
Just as flowers open up and bear fruit, just as the moon appears and invariably grows full, just as a lamp becomes brighter when oil is added, and just s plants and trees flourish with rain, so will human beings never fail to prosper when they make good causes. - N.Daishonin
