I gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which I
must stop and look fear in the face...I say to myself, I've lived
through this and can take the next thing that comes along.

Reflections of Self
We Are All Mirrors for Each Other
When we look at other people, we see many of their qualities in
innumerable and seemingly random combinations. However, the qualities
that we see in the people around us are directly related to the traits
that exist in us. "Like attracts like" is one of the spiritual laws of
the universe. We attract individuals into our lives that mirror who we
are. Those you feel drawn to reflect your inner self back at you, and
you act as a mirror for them. Simply put, when you look at others, you
will likely see what exists in you. When you see beauty, divinity,
sweetness, or light in the soul of another, you are seeing the
goodness that resides in your soul. When you see traits in others that
evoke feelings of anger, annoyance, or hatred, you may be seeing
reflected back at you those parts of yourself that you have disowned
or do not like.
Because we are all mirrors for each other, looking at the people in
your life can tell you a lot about yourself. Who you are can be laid
bare to you through what you see in others. It is easy to see the
traits you do not like in others. It is much more difficult to realize
that you possess those same traits. Often, the habits, attitudes, and
behaviors of others are closely linked to our unconscious and
unresolved issues.
When you come into contact with someone you admire, search your soul
for similarly admirable traits. Likewise, when you meet someone
exhibiting traits that you dislike, accept that you are looking at
your reflection. Looking at yourself through your perception of others
can be a humbling and eye-opening experience. You can also cultivate
in you the traits and behaviors that you do like. Be loving and
respectful to all people, and you will attract individuals that will
love and respect you back. Nurture compassion and empathy and let the
goodness you see in others be your mirror.

Animals As Teachers
Since prehistoric times, animals have acted as companions to humans on
their journey toward enlightenment. Animals as disparate in character
as house pets, birds, sea creatures, and insects have been our
mentors, teachers, and guides. There is much we can learn from
animals, as they offer us the unique opportunity to transcend the
human perspective. Unlike human teachers, animals can only impart
their wisdom by example, and we learn from them by observation. An
animal teacher can be a beloved pet or an animal in the wild. You may
even find yourself noticing the animals in your backyard. Even robins
and bumblebees have lessons to share with you.
Animals teach us in a variety of ways about behavior, habit, and
instinct. House pets embody an unconditional love that remains
unchanged in the face of our shape, size, age, race, or gender. They
care little for the differences between us and them and simply enjoy
loving and being loved. Our pets encourage us to let our guards down,
have fun, and take advantage of every opportunity to enjoy life. You
can also learn lessons from the animals you encounter in the wild if
you take the time to observe their habits. Cold-blooded animals show
us adaptability and sensitivity to one's environment. Mammals serve as
examples of nurturing and playfulness. Animals that live in oceans,
lakes, and rivers demonstrate the value of movement and grace. It is
even possible to learn from insects that live in highly structured
communities that everyone plays a vital role.
Animals teach us about life, death, survival, sacrifice, and
responsibility. If you find yourself drawn to a particular animal, ask
yourself which of its traits you find most intriguing and think about
how you might mimic those traits. Think of what you might learn from
observing the little bird on your windowsill or the mosquito buzzing
around a picnic table. Animals express themselves with abandon,
freedom, and integrity. It's natural to be drawn to the wisdom offered
by our animal teachers, and in doing so, discover what is natural and
true within you.

Quality Vs. Quantity
We live in an age of quantity. The media shapes us with the notion
that larger, faster, and more are often synonymous with better. We are
told that we need to find more time, more possessions, and more love
to be truly happy. A smaller quantity of anything that is high in
quality will almost always be more satisfying. A single piece of our
favorite chocolate or a thin spread of freshly made preserves can
satisfy us more than a full bucket of a product that we aren't very
fond of. Similarly, one fulfilling experience can eclipse many empty
moments strung together. It is not the quantity of time that matters,
but the quality that you experience during each moment. Every minute
is an opportunity to love yourself and others, develop confidence and
self-respect, and exhibit courage.
Ultimately, quality can make life sweeter. When you focus on quality,
all your life experiences can be meaningful. A modest portion of good,
healthy food can nourish and satisfy you on multiple levels and, when
organically grown, nourish the earth as well. Likewise, a few hours of
deep, restful slumber will leave you feeling more refreshed than a
night's worth of frequently interrupted sleep. A few minutes spent
with a loved one catching up on the important details about family,
work, or community can carry more meaning than two hours spent
watching television together.
Often, in the pursuit of quantity we cheat ourselves of quality. Then
again, quantity also plays a significant role in our lives. Certain
elements, such as hugs, kisses, abundance, and love, are best had in
copious amounts that are high in quality. But faced with the choice
between a single, heartfelt grin and a lifetime of empty smiles, most
would, no doubt, choose the former. Ultimately, it is not how much you
live or have or do but what you make of each moment that counts.

Soul Seeing
When we want to see deeply into the heart and mind of another person,
soul seeing, also called soul gazing, allows us to see their soul. The
soul is the purest expression of an individual and is not bound by
physical forms or fleeting emotions. Through a simple art that
involves looking deeply into a partner's eyes, soul seeing can show
you a person's inner beauty that you might otherwise miss. It is
possible for someone who appears cold to have a warm, giving,
nurturing soul or someone of average appearance to have a beautiful
soul. Soul seeing is a way of looking past shapes, sizes, attitudes,
and behavior to see the real individual that lies beneath the surface.
It allows you to see the true essence of another person, the radiance
of their being, and their spirit within.
Soul seeing is accomplished by sitting face to face with another
person. It is helpful to first state your intention before you begin.
As you stare softly into each other's eyes without stopping to look
away, each of your souls is revealed to the other. Try not to look for
anything in particular or seek traits you're hoping to find. Simply
let the other person's soul reveal itself to you. After twenty minutes
have passed, stay where you are and share a period of silent
reflection with your partner for two minutes. You may have suddenly
seen your partner's inner nature as clearly as a bright day, or you
may need to meditate on your experience before you feel comfortable
with your impressions. Either way, soul seeing can be a wonderfully
intimate and shared experience.
So little of who each of us is can be captured by our appearance or
personality. The thoughts, fears, desires, and longings that are part
of what makes us whole are not always written across our faces. Often,
the most surprising thing you may learn while soul seeing is that
while you and the other person may appear on the surface to be quite
different, you actually share many of the same inner qualities. And
then there is the unique beauty that resides within that is longing to
be revealed to another who is willing to see. Soul seeing can help you
experience the people in your life as they truly are, beyond any
mental barriers or physical limitations.
