New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Veterans Day
On Veterans Day, the U.S. government asks that we honor all the men and women who have served in our nation's military. Some may not agree with the military actions the United States has engaged in during their lifetimes, and others, who may not know any soldiers, struggle to connect to the meaning of this holiday. But whatever one's political beliefs or personal experiences, today is a good day to work for healing. Whether you want to direct energy toward ending a world conflict, increasing tolerance in your own community, or a soldier you know who has been wounded or psychologically injured in combat, take time today to create an altar. On the altar, place three candles-for hope, healing, and peace. Visualize a world in which the soldier's job is no longer necessary, and acknowledge the value of fighting for freedom and human rights. Close your ritual with a salute. |
