"Christmas, my child, is love in action.
Every time we love, every time we give, it's Christmas."

Merry Christmas beautiful hearts! As my Yoga practice came to a close the other day, the teacher dimmed the lights as we sat in seated meditation. With hands at heart center in prayer, she shared this beautiful reflection by Swami Satchananda. This offering brought tears to my eyes and I instantly knew I wanted to share it on Christmas Day. May this day reawaken your inner light and connect you to the lights surrounding you. May kindness be your constant companion, and may be peace tuck you in at night. Each day of our lives is a holy occasion. Invite the steadfast presence of love to accompany you the whole year through.
"Lord, You are the Light of Lights. You are the source of all lights. You are the Sun of Suns, Moon of Moons, Star of Stars. You are the light within and without. You are the Light of the enlightened. Kindly lead us from the darkness of ignorance to the light of understanding to realize the truth behind all these names and forms.
This is my prayer on this holy occasion.
Every holy day should remind us of our inherent divine nature. At least on that holy day we should forget all of the man-made differences, even the differences that are seen in nature, and rise above these differences to recognize our spiritual oneness.
Don't just run after things. Look within. Experience that joy, that peace, that Jesus, that Moses, that Allah, that Mohammed, that Buddha. Use any name you want. That's my sincere wish for you. Think of that. Let this holy day bring this light into you so that you can celebrate Hannukah, Christmas, New Year, all the holy days all the time. You don't need to depend on a calendar, certain months, certain days, certain years. Everyday will be your Christmas. Every day you will be receiving gifts through your chimney. Santa Claus will be there with you always.
When the man begins to sight the glorious inner light,
He drops all ego's fight, and knows the mission right,
Does everything in delight and ever simply feels light.
May the Light of Lights light our lives.
May the light of Hannukah be lit within you.
May the Christ light be born in you.
May the New Year dawn in you and bring a new life in the spirit.
May this holy season inspire you with peace and joy.
May God be with you."

May You Sweetly Seek:)
