Creating Connections While Apart | by Madisyn Taylor Life's journeys may sometimes take us away from our families and friends, but there are many ways to stay connected. Aside from making use of the technology available - speaking on the phone or seeing each other from across cyberspace - we can create simple ceremonies using nature and our own thoughts to connect our hearts across the miles. The first step in creating your ceremony is to look to nature for similarities in the different surroundings. The second step is agreeing upon something that is meaningful to all involved. If your mother loves birds, then perhaps each time you hear a bird chirp, you can think of her and mentally send love. You may choose the sight of a butterfly, the feel of a breeze or raindrops, or the scent of flowers to remind you of a special someone. The pink glow of sunset might be your favorite time to send a thought, or perhaps the warming oranges of sunrise. We can all see the sun, the moon, and an array of twinkling stars when we look to the skies. The monthly full moon may be your time to connect with your loved ones, or the first star you see each night, knowing that they, too, are gazing into the night sky and sending love. You could choose a day that you would usually celebrate together, such as a holiday or a solstice. If you once shared Sunday brunches in the garden, you can each seek out a garden on Sundays. Or you can choose a specific time and account for the time difference in order to connect by heart and mind at exactly the same moment. With practice, we may learn to recognize the feeling that comes when a loved one sends energy our way, and the feeling of soul-to-soul communication. In this case, distance may indeed make our connections stronger. There is certainly much to make us think of our close friends and loved ones often, but when we decide upon a reminder together, we create a simple ceremony of connection that defies any distance. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Noah benShea Get ready to make your life better, sooner. One of the greatest challenges in life is daring to be who you really are. And the even greater opportunity is daring to be who you might yet become. Few of us are lacking information on how to improve our lives, yet we often lack the strength of character to act on the information to truly fulfill our potential. What really limits us is fear, pride, and old habits that are holding us back from fulfilling true greatness. Remember that greatness is not some place you get to. It's all in how you travel. It's not something that is achieved and accomplished and put away like a book on a distant shelf--it is the discovery of ourselves as a glorious reflection of divine light. This course is a journey through your perceptions and understanding. If you face the ideas you will encounter in this course with courage and answer your inner questions with honesty and humility, you will be a better ally to yourself. Now is the time to finally say goodbye to being and feeling less--and get ready to embrace all that you know you can be. Your true greatness and a better life awaits.
