Creating Meaningful Homemade Gifts | by Madisyn Taylor The gifts we craft with our own hands are often the most significant because the love that drove us to create is infused in the products of our creation. And the recipients of these homemade offerings receive a token of our willingness to invest ourselves in their joy. Allow these ideas to inspire you: 1. When you craft a beautifully decorated prayer box (or jar) for loved ones, you give them the gift of spiritual awareness. As you share this gift, explain that it should serve as a receptacle for their hopes, dreams, and loves--as well as worries--and thus a reminder of who they were, are, and will someday be. 2. If you love journaling, share your writing joy with family and friends by giving each a unique, handmade personal journal. A simple spiral notebook dressed up with paper, fabric, photographs, or other embellishments will give your loved ones a special place to record their private thoughts. 3. Erase the distance between yourself and your far away loved ones by presenting each with a photo journal documenting how your life has changed in the past year. Or introduce them to your locale with a homemade guidebook that highlights everything you love about your town or city. 4. When you sew medicine bags for the people you care about, you can rest assured your gift will always be close to their hearts. A small pouch can be filled with many meditative or symbolic items, such as quartz crystals, sage, or magical objects. 5. A progressive photo album, wherein pictures tell the story of your relationships from the past up to the present, can be a simple yet poignant reminder of the many wonderful experiences you and your loved ones have shared over the years. 6. Give the gift of serenity with a guided meditation you create and record to CD or tape. Your loved ones will take pleasure in being led through tranquil landscapes by the soothing sound of your voice. 7. Hand-crafted ornaments that can be hung on trees, in windows, and on walls afford you an opportunity to surround the important people in your life with beauty. Whether you prefer to work with clay, crystals, fabric, baked dough, or natural objects, your gift can serve as a calming focal point in your loved ones' homes. Whether you choose to give a gift or simply share your friendship and love, remember that it is the intention behind the thought that is most important. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Master Francisco Quintero All forms of meditation have beneficial effects on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. Traditionally the focus has been on mindfulness and expanding consciousness. In this course the essential added dimension is soulfulness. When you add soul guidance to your meditations, along with other simple but powerful techniques based on 5000-year-old Chinese wisdom, you will connect with your deepest self and the potential to make powerful and positive changes in every aspect of your life.
