Finding Peace Amidst Chaos: Embracing Buddhist Loving-Kindness in Times of Global Conflict

    In a world afflicted by war, many of us find ourselves overwhelmed with a profound sense of helplessness. The relentless barrage of harrowing news stories and distressing images can leave us feeling anxious and impotent. While many people are finding physical, concrete ways to contribute support and aid to those in need, some of us feel that there's little we can do to alleviate the suffering of those directly affected. There is however a transformative Buddhist practice that can make a meaningful difference, it's called loving-kindness, or Metta. This ancient tradition not only offers solace to our hearts but also radiates compassion and peace into the world. Loving-kindness, or Metta, is a fundamental practice in Buddhism that involves cultivating an attitude of unconditional love and benevolence towards oneself and all beings. This practice is a deliberate and mindful intention to foster goodwill and kindness. Anyone, regardless of religious affiliation, can adopt this practice as a beacon of hope and positivity in troubled times. To begin, follow these steps:   Cultivating loving-kindness deepens your compassion for others, inspiring actions that promote peace and support for those in need. This compassionate outlook can drive meaningful change in your life, your family and even your community and beyond. When embraced by individuals around the world, the practice of loving-kindness can create a powerful ripple effect, with

The last question is to be followed by looking into one another’s eyes for 4 minutes. First Set of Questions Given the choice of anyone in the world, who would you want as a dinner guest? Would you like to be famous? In what way? Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why? What would constitute a perfect day for you? When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else? If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want? Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die? Name

The Magician

The Magician is powerfully charismatic as he stands before us representing masculine energy and creation. He has the symbol of infinity above him and placed on the table before him lie the symbols of the Elementary Dignitaries;  The Airy Sword, The Wand of Fire, The Chalice of Love and Emotions, and The Pentacle of Work and Wealth. The Magician has the powerful ability to create that which he wants. When The Magician appears he is frequently there to remind you of your personal power. He lets you know that you have to start creating whatever it is that you want in your life - love, money, career, adventure, solutions. Harness your willpower, you too can create as he does. The Magician, if appearing as another person or situation, may be a warning to be careful, not to be fooled. Keep your wits about you, because you are either talking a magician or a trickster.  Avoid making decisions quickly, do not be spontaneous, and do your homework, particularly if you fear you are dealing with a snake oil salesman. In terms of career, The Magician encourages you to believe in yourself and reminds you of your fits with words and power to influence others.   Interpretations - Magnetic personality, charming, convincing, ego - Trickster, charlatan - His words are magic - Originality, creation, creativity - Self-confidence -

What’s The Difference Between A Psychic And A Tarot Reader?

What’s the difference between a psychic reader and a tarot reader? Traditionally a psychic reader is someone who is perceived to provide readings and messages from spirit based upon what they pick up from spirit. This communication with spirit is enabled by the psychic’s ability to use their ‘clair’ senses, and without the support of any tools. The ‘clair’ senses are: Clairaudience, clear ‘hearing’ Clairsentience; clear ‘feeling’ Clairvoyance; clear ‘seeing’ Clairscent; clear ‘smelling’ Clairtangency; clear ‘touching’ Tarot reader’s tend to be viewed as people who rely upon a tool to divine messages from spirit. There is a tendency on the part of querents to feel that tarot readers are not inherently intuitive psychic readers. People who cast aspersion upon their skills tend to embody a mistrust of Tarot Cards, and question whether spirit works with ‘cards’. The question should not be does spirit work with tarot cards, rather, does spirit guide psychic readers. The answer is yes, and therefor spirit works to direct the attention of tarot readers to what is significant and important in the cards laid out in front of them. Many psychic readers will over time develop their array of skills to incorporate many different tools. These tools include pendulums, tarot cards, crystals for scrying, Ouija boards and more. Psychic’s do this because they are looking for ways to provide a greater

Which Tarot Cards Indicate A Pregnancy?

Many people consult the Tarot for information about pregnancy and fertility. There are several cards in the Tarot that are very closely associated with this area. So, which Tarot Cards indicate A Pregnancy? The cards are: The High PriestessThe EmpressThe MoonThe SunAce Cups3 Cups9 Cups9 Pentacles (with an Ace Cups or Ace Wands)Page CupsAce Wands Of the cards listed above the strongest indicators of a pregnancy are The Empress and The Sun. These cards are the most significant because they are Major Arcana, and because The Empress is the mother figure of the deck and is depicted, at least in traditional Rider-Waite based decks, as a woman who is quite possibly pregnant, and is the symbol of fertility and new life. The Sun is significant because it is a card about new life and growth and depicted upon it is a cherub, symbolising to many a baby. When the sun shines life flourishes, new growth is encouraged and life prospers. Think of greenery and wildlife returning to nature after a bleak winter – it is evocative of fertility and abundance. The Ace of Cups indicates a new opportunity for love, a new beginning and if this card was drawn in response to a question about pregnancy it should be interpreted very positively as would the 3 of Cups and the Page of cups. On their

The Devil, The Lovers, and The World

Ask Me - Help interpreting your spreads How could you interpret The Devil, The Lovers, and The World when they appear side by side in your spread, or together as a three card answer to your question. Obviously, it would help greatly to have the specific question that was asked, but in its absence, these are my thoughts.Firstly take notice of the way you feel when you look at the cards. What mood or feelings rise up in you? Which card seems to be the most significant one or the one that draws your attention the most? Do the cards please, displease, confuse, energize or depress you? Take notice of your feelings and realize that your feelings are going to help guide you as you interpret the spread. As I mentioned, interpreting a spread generally depends upon the question asked. However, at a very top level, I see these cards as indicating the need to choose a new path. The path ahead is shown as being based upon temptation (devil), opportunity (lovers) and the world - a decision to move forward… the temptation indicated by The Devil seems likely to be a troubled one as opposed to a good or positive one - the overwhelming desire for something that is hard to resist usually points towards addictions, infidelity, self-destructive or capricious, impulsive behavior…. I would

Are you constantly irritated?

Are you constantly irritated? Here are some strategies. “I’m taking this car and moving to Florida!” the elderly man in front of me at the DMV raged. He held up the line for a good 20 minutes, all over a measly $25 fee. I’m sure I wasn’t the only person in line thinking, “By all means, head for that state line… and now.” But you can’t completely blame the guy. Sometimes life triggers what can feels like an endless case of road rage. Even us yogis and meditators aren’t immune from it. Every little thing starts to grate, from the headline in the Washington Post to the #$% convection oven. Woah. If you feel like you are living life in a constant state of irritation, here are a few ways to calm down. 1. Invest in Alone Time A survey done by Durham University showed that regardless of whether people are introverts or extroverts, humans crave time alone to recharge. The top ways people said they could truly relax were reading and spending time in the natural environment. 2. Watch the Caffeine This drug elevates blood pressure, and increases cortisol levels in response to stress. It can also keep you up at night, triggering a cycle of sleeplessness which will also lead to a more irritable state the next day. 3. Try Kava Kava, also

Letting Go

Beautiful releasing rituals that will help you let go and move forward. Letting go is challenging, and sometimes you have to do it again and again and again until it sticks. The cue here is to be gentle with oneself. It is as true for letting go as it is for any type of change. What you resist persists. The key to letting go is embracing acceptance. There cannot be release unless you accept. And just like acceptance, letting go is a practice. Consciously deciding and repeatedly acting is the way. Personally, I  practice acceptance and letting go the same way I practice yoga: Several times a week, with intention and purpose. Bravely, humbly and gently. Truly.In addition to faithfully committing to let go in my mind, repeatedly, every time I fall back into old ways – I am working on opening myself up both energetically and emotionally. The way I let go is active and spiritual, symbolic and visual. It helps me make the intangible clear and definite. And in this, I am connecting with my power. Releasing Rituals There are as many ways of letting go as there are people. But one thing is universal, and that is the need to find meaning in the chaos. One way of making the process easier to relate to is to do a releasing ritual. Here

Boost your Love Life

Boost Your Love Life Research says the more you love, and the more love you feel, the happier you will be... so let's get busy:  Engage in a love and gratitude meditation. Find a comfortable and quiet space. Calm your mind. Wish yourself and others happiness and peace. Picture moments of happiness in your life. Feel the strong emotions that bond you to the people you shared those times with. Think of how special the people you love are. Notice in feeling love for others, you simultaneously feel loved yourself. You cannot give love without feeling love. Remind yourself that you too are loved. Send out well wishes or prayers for good fortune. Perhaps "May my friend be strong and find great happiness.'' Picture this in your minds' eye as you think/say it. If you prefer you may repeat a mantra. Do this for as long as you feel comfortable. This type of meditation makes you feel more connected to the people around you, and more able to see the positive aspects of those who are close to you. Focusing on love also boosts gratitude and your ability to appreciate your natural environment and its non-human inhabitants as well. Here's to love! Amber | www.intothesoul.com
