  | | Breaking Bread Together |
by Madisyn Taylor As we rush to keep up with the speed of our busy lives, one of the first activities we tend to sacrifice is the sharing of a meal with other people. We may find ourselves eating alone at the kitchen counter or hurriedly drinking a cup of soup while driving in our cars. Yet taking the time to share a meal with family or a close friend not only feeds your body, but also it can nourish your soul. Companionship can fill the heart the way warm stew can satisfy your belly. Eating a meal with others allows you to slow down, while nurturing your relationships.
Breaking bread with others can be treated like a ritual where the gestures of sharing and togetherness are just as important as the food you eat. Planning, preparing, and consuming a meal are all stepping off points toward good conversation, bonding, and learning about someone else. Inviting a new acquaintance to share a meal can be the start of a wonderful friendship. A shared breakfast can be a brainstorming session between coworkers, or it can set the tone for a positive day for family members. Lunch with a friend can be a welcome break from the day's stress, as well as a chance to unwind. Dinner with loved ones can be a chance to talk about the day's events with people who truly care. Sometimes, there may even be no need for conversation, and you may want to share a meal with someone while sitting in comfortable silence.
The breaking of bread can be a fulfilling experience, especially when done among people you love and trust. So the next time you find yourself rushing through a meal in front of your computer, you may want to pause and reconsider. The warm feelings, sense of security, and enjoyment you experience from sharing a meal with others may be the kind of break that you really need. |
DailyOM Course Spotlight by DailyOM It's common to think that a relationship with an emotionally unavailable partner is unhealthy. However, it may be possible for both partners to heal. All that's needed are a few unique skills and patience to successfully navigate the complexities of this type of relationship. When you learn how to speak your truth--in a way that doesn't trigger your partner to shut down--you create an environment that allows them to become comfortable being vulnerable.

 | | Guarding Your Inner Landscape | Cancer Horoscope November 28, 2019 Since you are likely in a generous and unselfish mood today, you may find yourself embroiled in situations in which others are in a position to take advantage of you. You can make the most of your trusting and giving nature by offering to help your colleagues and loved ones overcome challenges and allowing the people you care about to participate in your life in an intimate way. As you move through your professional and personal spheres, though, consider that the people you interact with may not be driven by objectives as pure as your own. Assessing each circumstance in which you find yourself allows you to avoid putting your faith in individuals with motives you find suspect. Your ability to exercise prudence and care can ensure you aren't taken advantage of today.
Simple caution can help you relate to others openly while protecting your interests from those who would seek to harm you. Many people let extremes govern their actions--they either trust no one, thus denying themselves the life-enriching joy of interrelating with others in a positive way, or they trust everyone, leaving themselves vulnerable to unenlightened individuals. By aligning yourself firmly in the center, you empower yourself to enjoy satisfying and inspiring relationships with others. Yet you also ensure that your inner landscape is well-guarded against those with base intentions. You'll move through life confident in your ability to bond with others without getting hurt. Your affairs will proceed smoothly today when you move forward carefully and consciously. |

 | | Riding the Wave of Life |
by Madisyn Taylor Our lives are continually in motion, buoyed by the wave that is the universe's flow. As the wave rises and falls, we are carried forward, through life's high and low points. The universe's flow may take us to a place in life where we would rather not be. As tempting as it can be to fight the direction and size of this wave that propels us, riding the wave is intended to make life easier. When you ride the wave, your life can evolve naturally and with minimal effort. Riding the wave, however, is not a passive experience. It is an active process that requires you to be attentive, centered, and awake. You must also practice stillness so you can flow with, rather than resist the wave's motion.
Because life is dynamic and always changing, it is when we try to make the wave stand still or resist its direction that we are likely to get pulled under by its weight. If you try to move against the wave, you may feel as if you are trapped by it and have no control over your destiny. When you reach a low point while riding the wave and find your feet touching bottom, remember to stay standing so that you can leap forward along with the wave the next time it rises. Trying to resist life's flow is a losing proposition and costly because you waste energy.
Riding the wave allows you to move forward without expending too much of your own efforts. When you ride the wave, you are carried by it and your head can "stay above water" as you go wherever it takes you. It can be difficult to trust the universe and let go of the urge to fight life's flow, and you may find it easier to ride the wave if you can stay calm and relaxed. Riding the wave will always take you where you need to go. |
DailyOM Course Spotlight by Deepak Chopra In this life-changing course, Deepak Chopra reveals "the forgotten miracle"--the body's infinite capacity for change and renewal. "You cannot take advantage of this miracle," Chopra says, "unless you are willing to completely reinvent your body, transforming it from a material object to a dynamic, flowing process. Your physical body is a fiction. Every cell is made up of two invisible ingredients: awareness and energy. This course details five recent breakthroughs of the body that lead to self-transformation by changing the distorted energy patterns that are the root cause of aging, infirmity, and disease. Transformation can't end with the body, however; it must involve the soul. The soul--seemingly invisible, aloof, and apart from the material world--actually creates the body. Only by going to the level of the soul will you reach your full potential, bringing more intelligence, creativity, and awareness into every aspect of your life.

| | A Well-Rounded Life | Cancer Horoscope November 27, 2019 Others may perceive you as steady and reliable today as you dedicate yourself wholeheartedly to your obligations. If you feel driven to focus on your professional and personal responsibilities, you may find that you are able to accomplish more than usual. However, diligence can have a downside. Your unwavering focus can cause you to miss wonderful opportunities to socialize with the people you love or to enjoy the activities that contribute directly to your individual well-being. Consider finding time in your busy schedule to have lunch with a friend or call a relative you seldom speak to. You may be able to accomplish more than you ever thought possible today when you make time for personal as well as professional pursuits.
Striving for balance in all you do as well as your life as a whole can ensure that you derive maximum enjoyment from your endeavors while giving each of the varied facets of your life the attention it deserves. Often, in our search for satisfaction, we become fixated on a certain type of achievement and concentrate on it to the detriment of our other needs. When you are attuned to the fact that the activities that contribute to your overall well-being are diverse, you will easily find ways to incorporate all of them into your life. You won't be so focused on your work that you neglect to play and vice versa, and distracting thoughts won't interrupt your enjoyment of either. The balance you achieve today will help you begin building a more wholesome and rewarding existence. |
