The Lights Dance

ever since little child I loved the dance of the lights. specially I use to love candles light, I used to stare at the flame and bring the  flame into my heart , without even knowing what it is I am doing ,  what it is that warm feeling circling my heart when I do so.
I belive that was my first meeting with the heart chakra flame.

The Jewish religion see much in candles lights, whether it is the light that shine upon us from above (the spiritual light)  that is generated traditionally every weekend when famele are requested to light the Shabat candles and save prayers of protection to their and theirs,  or  the candle they would light to memorize those who crossed over and of course , traditionally,  in that time of the year, when Hanuka , the celebration of lights,  is happening and for 8 days there will be many candles light in windows and families will gather around every evening to celebrate their togetherness and wish for miracle time that will chase darkness and evil forces away.

One of my early memories in regard to candle light is mostly that time of  childhood, when I sat with my family to light the traditional candles. It  always felt warm around my chest.  I thought about it this year as good exercise for all of us.
At times like the present, when suffer became a feeling shared by so many, when winter is  closing each one of us in their homes and shelters , trying to warm our freezing palms , please,  let us remember that others are not. Let us open our hearts to try and be the miracle of others. we can start by small donation for the poor and needy, or even by giving away a basket of food to the less fortunate.

I once met a couple in Amsterdam. Every weekend they would go out to the streets , pick one homeless they will meet and grant that person a weekend in thier own home, hot sowhers, maybe some phone calls, maybe some good advice on finding a job or simply some attention and caring. It was amasing how many of their guest simply pull out from their circle of suffer and went back into having normative life after those visits.
It was same as having friend staying over and did not brake their pockets .
It is something we all can do.

The winter this year is to be very cold,  many suffer losing their homes and finance .  I wish I could say it will all become better - but I can't.
It is a good time to practice the  heat of the Heart Chakra - open your hearts,  light them with kindness and embrace your fellows .  Become windows of light and shine your streets.

Happy Holiday,

I
