February Two Students Of The Month
Here we go for February Student of the Month. As we mentioned before we were picking one female and one male this month. So that is what we have done!
Our male SOM is non other than Carl with a 'C' as he is so well known to state! We never did ask why due to the fact pretty scared as to the reasoning behind this! He has been with us now for 16 months. He loves long walks on the beach, candle lit dinners and wait a minute he gave us his match.com profile! What a guy.
Seriously, he has been a nearly perfect student helping whenever it is needed and during the storms that we had he answered a number of the students questions. Way to go Carl with a 'C'!
Our female SOM is Cherri. Not pronounced 'Sherri' but like 'cherry'. Cherri is a second year student. Actually she has just started her second year and has a lot of promise! She has already entered into the apprentice program as well. She is engaged and looking forward to a end of summer wedding! Cherri is employed to give people answers for a life insurance quote when they call. She sure has answered a few of our silly questions lately!
Congrats to the Students of the Month for February

Thoughts On Meditation
|
It is crucial for you to understand what meditation is. It is not some special posture, and it's not just a set of mental exercises. Meditation is the cultivation of mindfulness and the application of that mindfulness once cultivated. You do not have to sit to meditate. You can meditate while washing the dishes. You can meditate in the shower, or roller skating, or typing letters. Meditation is awareness, and it must be applied to each and every activity of one's life. This isn't easy. - Henepola Gunaratana, "Mindfulness in Plain English" |
Saturday Thoughts
|
The mindfulness of in and out breathing, of body contemplation, of keeping consciousness of the moment, is a noble occupation and a sublime way, leading to independence of mind and to wisdom. - Samyutta Nikaya |

Let's Think On This
Mid week got you down? Wondering what hgh might have a meaning of? Need something else to think about? Well, it's that time of the evening that we post the thought for the day or evening. Personally I like the evening as while we are winding down it gives us something else to focus on rather than our problems or the crazy day we have had!
Let's think about this tonight!

When tranquility is developed, what purpose does it serve? The mind is developed. And when the mind is developed, what purpose does it serve? Passion is abandoned. When insight is developed, what purpose does it serve? Discernment is developed. And when discernment is developed, what purpose does it serve? Ignorance is abandoned. - Anguttara Nikaya |
A Question We All Need To Ask Ourselves
One question has come up over and over again that I ask nearly all my students, associates and close friends. No, it is not if you have visitedhttp://www.coloncleanser.net !
That question is 'Why have you chosen the path you are on?'
Without hesitation some will answer with zeal and fill the room with answer that sounds much like music. While others may labor a bit and yet the why. The other group hesitates and says they need to think about this.
In return I ask why again. Why if you have chosen this path you are do you have to think about the reasons? Should they not bound out of your mouth coming from your inner soul? Should you not know the reasons? If this is happening to you or someone that you know then you might need to take a break away to really examine your reasons.
If the reasons are superficial such as spells, rituals and other areas then is this a true reason? Where is your love for the path? For the Gods or Goddesses?
Taking a break is not a bad thing and it does not necessarily mean that you need to quit your studies. It only means that you need to dig deep within yourself to really know it is the right path.
So ask yourself this: Why are you on your path? See where the answer takes you.

Tuesday Thought On A Cold Night
Just like we thought the snow came and is still dropping down! Here is a great thought for you all to ponder while you attempt to stay warm and cozy. Remember that on these nights to take the best cholesterol medications that you possibly can as sometimes we tend to eat the wrong things while we are doing nothing!!

When people speak badly of you, you should respond in this way: Keep a steady heart and don't reply with harsh words. Practice letting go of resentment and accepting that the other's hostility is the spur to your understanding. Be kind, adopt a generous standpoint, treat your enemy as a friend, and suffuse all your world with affectionate thoughts, far-reaching and widespread, limitless and free from hate. In this state you should try to remain. - Dhammapada |
Spells Are Only A Small Part Of Your Path
Recently it has come to my attention by the staff that a lot of students are overly concerned with spell workings. Yes, the spells may be a part of your path yet it is not the only main focal point and you should remember that.
All those fancy spells you see for glamour, hexing, or weight are great. But remember that say for example the weight spells you must remember there is no quick weight loss diets or spells. It is YOUR intent and energy that goes into these workings.
You have to lay the foundation of knowledge before you jump into the river. If you do not know your basis how will you know how to do spell workings?
Taking your time, enjoying what you are learning is a good start to gaining balance on your path. I think you should be more concerned with enlightenment or balance instead of casting a spell or two!
