“Miracles happen to those who believe in them.” Bernard Berenson, Art critic
With Thanksgiving behind us, we now enter into the "miracle" holidays of December ... first, on December 8th, my Buddhists friends will celebrate "Bodhi Day", which commemorates the day that the historical Buddha, Siddhartha Gautauma (Shakyamuni) experienced enlightenment miracles... then on December 20th, my Jewish friends begin to celebrate Hanukkah, which is when the menorah miraculously burned for 8 nights with only oil enough for one night... it is the triumph of light over darkness, purity over adulteration and spirituality over materiality... and on December 25th, my Christian friends celebrate the miraculous birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ... This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet, "The Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold! A virgin will be with child and will bear a son, and she shall call his name “God with us”" (Mtt 1:18-25)....

I thought that the best way, to prepare for all these "miracles" we believe in, is to go over the "5 steps to Blessing" as they were given to me years ago by the "Blessings Experiment" .... because... "Some wish blessings, others pray for them. Some send blessings and they become one." Joyce C. Lock
Go out and BLESS the world!
B - BREATHE
Take a deep, cleansing breath as a way of easing any tension that may be present. As you inhale, mentally affirm "I am so blessed" and with your exhalation mentally affirm "I am a blessing to the world."
L - LOOK & LISTEN
Look within and listen to what your inner being is trying to tell you. Be self-aware and feel the love inside of you rising up to bless others.
E - ELEVATE THINKING
No matter what your feelings and emotions may be telling you, you have the ability to ride your mental elevator up to a better state of mind. ... basically, leave all negative thoughts in the basement.
S - STEP INTO WILLINGNESS
Be willing to let your blessing, your desire, or your new way of thinking become your reality. Be willing, also, to forgive every erroneous thought and unconditionally love everyone and everything involved.
S - SAY THANK YOU!
Don't wait until you see the blessing or desire fulfilled to express gratitude for it. Gratitude connects what we want to what we receive and allows it to flow more freely into our lives...
Use this process when blessing others and yourself, and use it, too, any time you wish to move from a negative emotion to a positive one, or anytime you feel your vibration lowering. It works as an instant mood-lifter.... Always remember that you are loved beyond measure and a cherished blessing to me.... because YOU are a miracle!!!
May your day be filled with all things good,
With Love,
Elena
