Did you know that the month of November includes several holidays other than Thanksgiving?  And Thanksgiving is not the only holiday on which we acknowledge the people and things we are grateful for.

The season starts off with the Christian holidays of All Saints Day (a feast day when we honor all saints, known and unknown).   Believe me when I tell you that there are saints in your life, and can help if you ask for their help.  Mind you, you won't see halos around their heads as they walk around.  They are everyday people who may work at your company or stand in line with you at the grocery store.  You can tell who they are by sensing how open there hearts are.  They can be stern, yet compassionate, and you can feel their love and their peace, and they are usually someone you want to be around often because of the peace you feel when you're around them.

All Saints Day is followed by All Souls Day, which is a day to be reminded of the faithful departed: those who have touched our lives and helped make us better persons, but who are no longer here.

Then there is Veterans Day, also known as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day. Regardless of your views of current and/or past wars, this is a day to put aside our differences and honor the men and women who have served and are serving in the military, especially those who have given their lives for our country.

Also occurring this month is Eid al Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice.  This Moslem holiday commemorates the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismael as an act of obedience to God.

And, of course, there is Thanksgiving; a time to pause and be thankful for all that we have.  To be grateful for those first pilgrims who came searching for a place where they could honor the God of their understanding without being persecuted, and for the natives who helped them survive the first few winters.  To this day, some of us continue to act as pilgrims, helping others honor the light within and find their own path back to The Source.  And we honor our native brothers and sisters all around the world.  Although we might look different, speak different languages and practice different customs, we know in our hearts, just as the pilgrims and natives knew long ago, we are all brothers and sisters.

I don't think it is a coincidence that Thanksgiving falls at the end of a month full of things to be grateful for. Who among us can deny feeling gratitude on one or all of the special days that are being celebrated in November?

Through the month of December, Elizabeth Brown, a Certified Empowerment Coach and Certified Public Accountant, will conduct a series of teleclasses designed to help solidify the practice of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).  EFT is a healing modality which involves tapping energy meridian points (like acupuncture) to release blocked energy (Chi.)  The basic premise behind EFT is that all negative emotions and / or physical symptoms stem from a disruption in the body's energy system.  It can be utilized to address and shift every emotional, physical, and performance problem and often works where nothing else will.  EFT has proven highly successful in thousands of clinical cases. 

The teleclasses will help individuals integrate EFT into their lives within a supportive group of like- minded people.  The sessions will also incorporate principles of The Law of Attraction.

Classes will be conducted every Tuesday in December (12/1, 12/8, 12/15 and 12/22), from 7pm to 8:30pm Eastern.  The dial-in number will be provided to all prepaid registrants.

The fee is $30 per session.  Participants must commit and prepay for a minimum of three of the four weeks.

To register or to obtain more information, call 914-345-1040.
