Don't Sweat It?

Last night, I was invited to a friends sweat
lodge. She and her husband have built an
amazing lodge, similar to the one in the picture, in their back yard. This sweat only included woman, and the adventure was amazing. I want to throw a thanks out to all those who made this possible and that were involved in the blessed ceremony.

Last spring I was invited to my first sweat, after which I was bound and determined to build a lodge of my own in our back yard. It's a work in progress, but hopefully soon we'll be having some sweats of our own, that is when I can get up the nerve to invite anyone. All the traditional aspects can be intimidating, so I think it's important to be in a group that is accepting and open to both new ideas and a bit of change.

Body & Soul...

Attraction: Our thoughts and emotions draw us to what we desire, like the Law of Attraction says. You can't force people to love you or do whatever it is you may want them to. You can however, clarify your desires, focus on them, and behave as if they already exist. Doing this will increase the chances that they will happen. Keep your energy positive towards your desires, and not towards what you don't want in life.

February Practice:

Be a Magnet: If you want to attract what you desire most, dig deep down into your natural magnetism. The core of physical stamina and sexual attraction is the dan tien- this is the energy center in the lower abdomen, just below your navel. Meditate and focus on this point. As you concentrate of this area of your body, feel the heat rising up through your whole body, spreading out through your limbs and up the top of your head. Practiced regularly, this exercise generates great magnetic power.

February Project...

Like Attracts Like:
Appreciating others stems seeds of mutual attraction. This month pick someone to focus on, and spend time with them, giving them your fullest attention. Listen to them with the wholeness of your body...not just with words, but with deep feeling. See what happens as you do this, your flowering attention will draw this person to you. Between the two of you, you'll experience reciprocating warm feelings that you both might need right now.
