As I was putting the relaxation into practice, I reflected on the very different Christmases, I've had. The ones spent as a child was filled with awe, surprise and activity, the latter performed by the adults around me. I was fortunate enough to have a dad who gave more time to the spiritual aspect of Christmas and the focus was on caring and sharing not just with our family members but with the non-christian community around us.
Over the years in the different countries, I've lived in, Christmas celebrations concentrated on the core family and could include the extended family. But what if your core family lived miles away, or if they were no longer living and as a result, people are depressed over the Christmas holidays because they are "alone".
It does not have to be, if we can take a step to reach out to other people besides family and friends to share the celebrations of a child born over 2000 years in a stable and his immediate family celebrated his birth with strangers and the outcasts. My wish for parents and grand-parents, is that they do include others in the Christmas celebrations and make Christmas a time of love, sharing and loving, listening, caring and forgiving.
Christmas is not a time to dwell on memories of the past but a time to make memories. It is not a time to drown in past hurts but to seek healing for them. If you are stuck on any negative emotions, like grief, regrets, sadness, frustration, etc..., then tap. If you would like, e-mail me and I could guide you on how and what to tap on.
Wishing you all a Healthy, Joyful and Loving Christmas!
