Greetings!
My warmest wishes go out to you and your family as we enter into this holiday season. It's been a challenging year for many. My heart hurts for those who have lost so much. I pray that all that has broken this year, in individual lives, our nation and in the world may in some profound way, be a catalyst to learn the lessons and make the choices that will lead us to more peace, joy, love and wholeness in the years ahead.
For each of the last few years SOULutions has created a little jingle as a theme for the upcoming year. The jingle for 2009 was: "Let your light shine in 2009." This years theme is: "Let it begin from within in 2010."
SOULutions is bringing you several unique opportunities for you to begin the new year from within. You can find out about them in the upcoming events section below and on our website.

What's does it mean to me? What does it mean to you?
 Rather simple, don't you think? Take a brief moment to take it in. What strikes you about it? What feeling, if any, does it evoke? Did you happen to notice that the root system contains the exact same mass as the tree itself?
Tree's have always been a symbol of wholeness. To me, this tree represents the individual Self that is unique part of the whole of life. The branches or expression of life are above the surface representing our outer life and below the surface our inner life. The yellow symbolizes the Spirit of love and light illuminating our darkness for the purpose of us becoming whole. Did you know that it's during the fall and winter months a tree deepens its roots the most? What does this suggest for you and me? What can we learn from our Guru Mother Nature? What would happen if Mother Nature failed to do her inner work?
Many peoples lives, below the surface, have unhealed wounds and limiting beliefs that block them from taking in all of love and light, truth and beauty, grace and presence that surrounds them. Wholeness is made possible by healing and integrating these wounds, or "pain body" as Eckhart Tolle writes about?
Spirit can only express through us and impact Life by us to the extent that we have healed these blocks and let go of the reactive behaviors associated with them. When we find a way to do this, our roots can then and only then truly deepen. The greater our depth - the greater our potential for growing in and expressing truth, love and presence.
All unhappiness including self defeating patterns, relationship difficulties, money problems, addictions and that empty feeling of isn't there something more are all wounds of the soul. SOULutions is in service to wholeness. This tree with its equal emphasis on both growth and depth, inner work and outer self expressing, clearly represents this..., to me.

Upcoming Events to Help you begin from within in 2010.
Winter Solstice BREATH OF LIFE Celebration, December 21 at 7:PM.
Join us for SOULutions sixth annual ceremony to celebrate the longest night of the year in the northern hemisphere, our WINTER SOLSTICE. Each year we dedicate a sacred time to let go of the regrets, attitudes, and limitations that no longer serve us as we open our hearts to the prayer of the world...of greater peace, joy, and love for all.
We will begin with a burning bowl ceremony. The ritual symbolizes our longing and choice to let go of the
darkness that may have kept our inner light from shining its brightest (as we approach the longest and darkest night of the year) and to make room to plant the seed
qualities in our hearts that will enable us to fulfill our deepest heart's prayer.
This Ceremony will be combined with a special BREATH OF LIFE active meditation with music that honors the sacred traditions from around the world. Learn more about about the BREATH OF LIFE by clicking HERE.

Meditation Made Easy
 Want an almost effortless way of meditating and engaging in spiritual practice with your computer?
The folks Wild Divine, a unique software program featuring Depeek Chopra and healing and health experts, recently polled their Wild Divine Meditation and Bio-Feedback Game purchasers, asking them the all-important question- "why did you buy our product?" The number one answer by far was, "because my therapist/doctor recommended it to me." People are seeking solutions to their dilemmas in life in various ways. But one of the rising trends comes from recognizing stress, and our body's need to find ways to relax, even if the pace in people's lives is not slowing down.
The Guided Meditations and breathing techniques taught in our Healing Rhythms programs can help give people simple ways to relax, even if for just a few quick minutes in the middle of a busy day.
The easiest way to start off when practicing guided relaxation is to count your breaths as you inhale and exhale. Deep breathing relaxation methods, which involve inhaling through your nose as deeply as you can, will help your body start to relax. Hold this breath and then let it out slowly through your nose. Your heart rate will start to slow down and your muscles will start to relax. To read the full article and find out more about the Wild Divine or Healing Rhythms effortless meditation software visit my blog by clicking HERE.

SOULutions is dedicated to one singular purpose: People finding and living lives of Radical Wholeness.
This liberated state of peace, passion, purpose, power and presence is achieved by healing emotional wounds from the past and bringing illumination to the self limiting beliefs connected to these wounds. In doing so, we move beyond the limits of the ego to know the limitlessness of our Essence.
In Wholeness and Thanks-Giving,
Michael
