  | | Surrounded By Bliss | Cancer Horoscope August 31, 2018 A need to engage in communal activities can influence your choices today, driving you to take part in personal and professional endeavors that allow you to interact closely with others. Though you may question whether your intense desire for companionship is healthy, you are likely simply in an affable and social mood. Your upbeat and cooperative nature can help you make the most of the time you spend working and playing with others because it can give you the tools you need to quell conflict and unite people in harmony. If you feel drawn to certain individuals today, consider that these impulses may point you toward those people who will add flavor, excitement, and tenderness to your life.
As we surround ourselves with friends and relatives we hold dear, we immerse ourselves in the simple interpersonal pleasures that make life worth living. True personal fulfillment cannot exist in a constant vacuum of solitude because it is the important people in our lives that add the most value to our experience. Our loved ones not only give us the support and assistance we need but also the tenderness and connection we instinctually crave. When life seems darkest, they provide us with the light of understanding and compassion. Our loved ones anchor us and are also the potent force that bolsters us as we strive to broaden our horizons. The time you spend in the company of the people you care for today will lift your spirits and touch your soul.

 | | Foot Cleansing Rituals |
by Madisyn Taylor In most contemporary cultures, where there aren't many opportunities to go barefoot, few acts are as intimate as touching the feet of another person. Our feet are our primary means of connecting with the earth, yet they usually remain confined in shoes or sandals. Cleansing the feet of a friend or loved one is a sign of trust, closeness, and openness. Cleansing your own feet can be a relaxing interlude that can help you feel refreshed. Foot cleansing also has become a popular stress reliever and beautification ritual.
Ritual foot cleansing has a long and intricate history involving many methods and motivations. It has been used as an initiation, a welcoming gesture, a purification ceremony, and as a means to demonstrate humbleness. Cleansing ceremonies involving the feet are performed in many different parts of the world. In many cases, the meaning of the ritual was twofold. It was a way of cleaning a guest's feet before entering a home and a sign of hospitality. In Buddhism, clean water mixed with sandalwood to clean the feet is one of the eight typical offerings. By cleansing the feet of an enlightened being, it is possible to cleanse one's own karma.
You can perform a foot washing ritual on yourself or a companion as a ceremonial activity or as a way to unwind. You may want to start by trying a traditional ritual, or you might feel comfortable inventing your own. Try mixing elements like traditional flower infused water with something more modern like a sugar scrub. Take the time to set your intention for the foot washing ritual. Perhaps you would like to cleanse away old energies in your life so you may step freely toward your future. Or, maybe soaking your feet in warm water will help you relax after a long day at work. Remember to thank your feet for their support. Whether done with pleasure or as an offering, a foot cleansing ritual is a sacred act that honors the divine in you and others. |

| | Primed For Success | Cancer Horoscope August 30, 2018 You may feel stronger and more talented than usual today as you contemplate where you are headed, personally and professionally. The positive effects of recent successes or praise are likely still lingering within you, helping you to see yourself as the competent individual you truly are. Though you may still find yourself questioning your choices now and then, it is likely that you have developed a level of confidence that is far greater than anything you have known in the past. Today can be a beautiful day to reflect upon what you hope to achieve in this life because your self-assurance will no doubt help you overcome any fear that might have held you back.
We ready ourselves to achieve the success we so ardently want by doing all we can to cultivate confidence within ourselves. While it can seem somewhat needlessly self-serving to expend a great deal of effort on the preservation of self-assurance, it is only when we feel good about ourselves that we can fully dedicate ourselves to those goals related to our larger purpose. Overcoming adversity is a simple matter when we are buoyed by our copious belief in our worth and capabilities. All that which might otherwise cause crushing disillusionment within us is banished by our unwillingness to accept failure as an option. However long triumph takes, we continue moving forward because we know we will find our heart\'s desire. Your competence will blossom into confidence today as you realize that you have what it takes to realize your dreams. |
DailyOM Course Spotlight by Laura Fine You know your list of "should" and "should not's." 'I should have gotten out of bed on time.' 'I should exercise more.' And you know your should not's; 'I should not have yelled at my child.' 'I should not have eaten that second piece of chocolate cake!' When you find yourself repeating a behavioral pattern you have judgement about, it's highly likely due to a conflict between your conscious and subconscious mind. Often where the conscious and subconscious mind are in conflict, there is an Emotional Energy Block. The good news is, this Emotional Energy Block is actually showing you where your inner work lives. There are reasons you can't "talk" away these blocks with positive thinking. Just like a splinter rises to the surface to be plucked out, there is a strong body/mind sensation trying to find its way to the surface of your awareness for healing. Through this course, you can learn to stop decades of repetitive painful self-destructive behavior. By awakening Energy Blocks, you'll experiences surges of energy that will help you be more open in your relationships, feel more relaxed and alive, be more physically healthy and achieve your goals.

 | | Fog |
by Madisyn Taylor When we feel muddled and unfocused, unsure of which way to turn, we say we are in a fog. Similar to when we are in a fog in nature, we may feel like we can't see where we're going or where we've come from, and we're afraid if we move too quickly we might run into something hidden in the mists that seem to surround us. Being in a fog necessarily slows us down by limiting our visibility. The best choice may be to pull over and wait for the murkiness to clear. If we move at all, we must go slowly, feeling our way and keeping our eyes open for shapes emerging from the haze, perhaps relying on the taillights of someone in front of us as we make our way along the road.
By and large, most of us prefer to be able to see where we are going and move steadfastly in that direction, but there are gifts that come from being in a fog. Sometimes it takes an obstacle like fog to get us to stop and be still in the moment, doing nothing. In this moment of involuntary inactivity, we may look within and find that the source of our fogginess is inside us; it could be some emotional issue that needs tending before we can safely go full steam ahead. Being in a fog reminds us that when we cannot see outside ourselves, we can always make progress by looking within. Then again, the fog may simply be teaching us important lessons about how to continue moving forward with extreme caution, harnessing our attention, watching closely for new information, and being ready to stop on a dime.
We cannot predict when a fog will come, nor can we know for certain when it will lift, but we can center ourselves in the haze and wait for guidance. We may find it inside ourselves or in a pair of barely visible taillights just ahead. Whether we follow the lights out of the fog, wait for a gentle breeze to lift it, or allow the sun to burn it away, we can rest certain that one way or another, we will move forward with clarity once again. |
