The True Holiday

The Western societies in general loves vacation very much. Some even go to a distance places like Bali, spend a lot of money to enjoy their holiday. Among the many attractive industries, the one that continuously grow is tourism industry. In a short conclusion, vacation is one of the very attractive activity to the modern people.

In order to make the soul balance,  it is very healthy to spend time in vacation. There are serious times to work, there are relax times for vacation. There are times, when people tend to be stressful, there are times when mind tend to be peaceful.

The combination between the two can make the soul grow not too far from the state of being balance. A series of soul training which makes the soul grow far away from stress and depression, and at the same time can make the soul much more mature and full of light as well.

Sharing the Light

A medical doctor in the West wrote a beautiful book "the extraordinary healing power of the ordinary things". In a short conclusion, there are a lot of small and ordinary things that appear to be trivial, small, simple but proved to have remarkable healing effect.

It can be a prayer, worship, singing, smiling, walking in the open air, singing with the children, walk hand in hand with parents, enjoy the sunrise, smiling with deep gratitude at sunset, taking good care of the garden, thankful smile to the blooming flowers, feel the joy of jumping dolphins or running rabbits, love animals and many more others.

In short, whatever the daily activities that are done with full of smile, full of love, full of deep gratitude, it can give a profound healing effect. The logic is very simple. Every souls who often do good things to anyone or anything, there is a deep feeling of being meaningful and useful arise within.

The Lights of Hugging

"The souls who are rarely touched and hugged", that's the dominant feature of many restless and angry souls. They are not only less touched by the arms, they are also less touched by the touching actions like kindness, sincerity and honesty.

Parents who are too busy to earn a living, the school which is full of problems, leaders who are care only for their interest have created psychological and spiritual environment which make life like dry season here and there. That is the reason why there are dry souls everywhere who are thirsty of attention and compassion.

And the dry season of life is not a moment to burn a fire by producing a lot of anger, but rather an invitation to sprinkle the holy water of hugging, acceptance and compassion as much as possible.

Not many people who are blessed to be as famous as Mother Teresa, not many people who are blessed to be as bright as Nelson Mandela, or as humble as Mahatma Gandhi,  but all people bring the small candles in the heart, which is ready to be kindled anytime and anywhere.

Therefore, no matter how small our candle is, let's begin to turn the candle in a place where there is less wind. And to be honest, that place is family. Mainly because family is a social environment where we know each others deeply.
