Issue No. 7 - August 2003 ~ Cooling Thoughts, Calcium & Dreams for Healing
"Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you."
- Langston Hughes, Poet
OPENING REMARKS
As
heat, drought, wildfire, power outages, and war plague many parts of the world this month, we
hope you find this issue a cool and calming space amidst the news of heat and chaos.
Here are visualizations to help you cool down and unwind. Envision...
- A swimming hole or pool to jump in as you howl with joy!
- A fountain that sprays a gentle mist of water on you as you breathe deeply and exhale.
- A cool shower to sing in OR practice deep belly laughter. . . HA, HA, HA.
- A cooling rain to walk in without concern of getting wet.
- A tall glass of ice water to drink.
- Peaceful, loving emotions by the people of Earth. . . moving like ocean waves across the planet.
Yours In Peace,
June Soyka Cook

When Your Dreams are Numbered
By Laura V. Hyde |
|
When numbers appear in your dreams or stands out in your waking life, take a moment to
discover what it means for you. If the number 1 shows up in your dream, perhaps it's
time for you take the initiative to start a new project, create a more fulfilling career,
or blaze a new trail. On the other hand, if the number 5 appears, it may be time for you
to speak out, make a change, or stand up for yourself. . .

"You can't hurry love, oh you'll just have to wait.
She said love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take.
You can't hurry love, oh you'll just have to wait.
Just trust in the good times, no matter how long it takes."
~ As sung by the Supremes and later by Phil Collins

Can't Hurry Love... It Has Its Own Schedule
Sometimes when the search for love takes a little longer than planned, we start to feel

Marathon and having a hell of a time getting to the finish line. In times like that,
feelings of fear begin to creep in and we often feeling like something is "missing."
Some of us think we will run out of time, and miss the deadline for finding the right
relationship. In reality, it simply means. . .

DEAR MARTY ~ I Saw My Deceased Husband. . .?
~ Q & A by bereavement counselor Marty Tousley
|
Question: I need to know if you have ever seen someone you lost. I don't know
what to think. I lost my husband a month ago, and the other day my dog went to the
window and was barking and wagging his tail very excitedly. So I went to the window
thinking someone might be at the gate since my dog was so excited and seemed so happy
to see whoever was out there. I looked in the direction he was barking and there I saw
my husband, bent over looking under my car. Then he. . .

This Month's Holistic Prayers
Our Father, it is Thy universe,
it is Thy will,
let us be at peace,
let the souls of The people be cool;
Thou art our Father,
remove all evil from our path
~ Prayer of the Nuer people of Africa (Sudan)
O God we are one with you...
Help us to realize that there can be no
understanding where there is mutual rejection.
O God, in accepting one another
wholeheartedly, fully, completely, we accept you,
and we thank you, and we adore you;
and we love you with our whole being,
because our being is in your being,
our spirit is rooted in your spirit.
Fill us then with love, and let us be bound
together with love as we go our diverse ways,
united in this one spirit which makes you
present to the world,
and which makes you witness to the ultimate
reality that is love.
Love has overcome.
Love is victorious. Amen.
~ Thomas Merton
