The Soul Mate Prep Blog#17: What is a Mezuzah?

 

A Mezuzah is a holy prayer,"Hear o' Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one," and is encased in a decorative covering.

 

A Mezuzah is placed on the front door and inside the doors of a Jewish home.It is said in the book of Deuteronomy, "place the Shema on the knob posts of your house." Every time you look upon the Mezuzah, you are reminded of the Divine's presence within and without.

 

Do you want a blessing for your home?

 

Place a holy prayer on the front door and connect with the Divine within and without!

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#16: Are you into Couples Therapy?

Last night, I was watching a cable TV series called Couples Therapy.Five couples living in a California resort and willing to talk about their problems with a psychotherapist.

Listening to these people talk about their family dysfunction and they and (we) expect to have a great relationship?

How can we live happily ever after, if we come from such
dysfunction?

I am on this earth for 47 years and in my own experience, we must understand our family dysfunction and our role in it, before we enter a relationship with another.I know this goes against what we have been taught.However, if I didn't take the time to be an explorer of my own personal history, there was no way another person can make up for what my family could not provide for me!

"We need to be in a relationship with our self before we enter a relationship with another."-Serena Jade

Are you willing to be an explorer of your history?

Are you willing to be alone to get in touch with you?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#15:Politically, we as a social order would say,"it is Okay" to love your body at any size, However, is it really?

Drop Dead Diva is a cable TV show. Deb a model, dies, goes to heaven and hits the wrong button and comes back to earth in Jane's body; who is an overweight lawyer.The show reminds me of the film Heaven Can Wait, the 1980's remake of a guy who dies but wasn't supposed to die and his soul comes back to earth in a body of a football player.

Last week, I posted a question on the Drop Dead Diva facebook page. Jane's soul has been in heaven and now comes back on earth. I ask, what do you think of Jane's soul coming back in a fit and sexy body?

I received a response..."I think that completely defeats the point of the show.The idea is to show that big and beautiful people everywhere, that body love is good for all shapes and sizes.Also, what does my link have to do with the question or the show?"

When I read the response I immediately thought I offended someone. Politically, the right answer would be it is okay to love your body at any size.However, being overweight is a sign that the person is eating too much. It is not okay! We as a social order would not say to someone, "it is okay to drink alcohol to an excess." Would we?

At first, I wasn't going to respond but I thought about it and I wrote-To truly love your body, one needs to love it from the inside out.That means "shame and guilt," need to come out in the open.Once that inside connection happens, one will take good care of their body. 

Then I addressed the question: what does the link to my website have to do with the question or the show? I answered: the show is about Deb's soul in a different body.Do you desire a soul mate?

A soul mate is a soul, one has loved across time.The soul comes back on earth in a different body.Do you think you can recognize one of your soul's mates?

Are you getting in touch with your shame and guilt?

Do you think you can recognize your soul's mates?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#14: Do you connect Hart to Hart?

In 1979, Hart to Hart became a regular TV series I enjoyed. Actors Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers play Jonathan and Jennifer Hart. He is a self-made millionaire, she is a writer, together they moonlight as amateur detectives.

The couple exudes romance to its exalted form. In 1979 I was unconsciously drawn to their first-class relationship. I knew I wanted a relationship just like the Harts!

I just finished viewing the first season and I am astonished. Now, I consciously know what the Harts exude...

The Harts respect one another and there are no power struggles between them. It is a breath of fresh air to view a couple flirting with each other and working as a team. They are devoted to one another and it shows. The Harts are truly a romantic, loving, devoted couple!

"It has been 37 years since I first saw Hart to Hart and after a long journey to know-me. I know, it is very possible for me to acquire such an interaction with another!"- Serena Jade 

Did you ever see Hart to Hart?

Do you want a relationship like the Harts?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#13: What is a functional family?

In a functional family, life works. We are able to perceive in the here and now [all our needs are being met].We can think for ourselves, rather than being told what to think. We can feel and not be told what to feel. We have the freedom to choose what we desire without pressure from our parents on what they desire for us. We have the freedom to be our true self with clear boundaries.

In order for the above to happen, both mother and father need to be mature.

Maturity means we have graduated from our family of origin, and have become our own person, with clear ego boundaries. We can relate to our family of origin without being fused or joined to them. We are our own person, where we can move away from them without guilt or move near without absorption, this means we are emotionally free.

Do you think maturity is role modeled in our society?

There is an age old saying, "Women mature faster than men." Women are raised to feel connected to their nurturing nature more than men. However, maturity has nothing to do with feeling. Maturity is a profound sense of self, separate from our family of origin.

"The greatest gift you can give your child is a functional YOU."-Serena Jade

Are you ready to become mature?

If not, why not?

The Soul Mate Prep Blog#12: What do you think of Islam?

The Dome of the Rock: Jerusalem, Israel

"I think the Muslim call to prayer is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world."-Serena Jade

www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe8qRj12OhY

Muhammad, the prophet was born in Mecca (Saudi Arabia) in the year 570 of the common era. Muhammad married by the age of 25 and fathered several children.However, he was unfilled with the polytheistic worship of many Gods around him.He sought solitude in the desert.

Around the age of 40, Muhammad was in a cave meditating in the middle of the desert. An angel appeared to him and said, "read in the name of your Lord." This was the first profound message he received from the Divine.

Ten years later, Muhammad went on a night journey and ascended to heaven in the company of angels.From Mecca he traveled to Jerusalem,where the shrine of The Dome of the Rock is today and prayed...

He lifted his mind up to Heaven and received the Divine's instruction to pray 5 times a day.

Muhammad was in touch with his soul and received Divine wisdom.Can you appreciate Muhammad's devotion and learn more about Islam?

Do you think the Muslim call to prayer is beautiful?

The Bates Motel is a cable TV series and a creative prequel to the 1950's classic Psycho.The writers are very knowledgeable about the life of a narcissistic mother (Norma Bates), and her obedient son Norman.

If you never watched Psycho, please rent it today! While all of us think Norman is the psycho, it is really the mother who needs the tremendous amount of therapy.Norma Bates has been abused,ignored and disrespected as a child.This type of person should never have children.

Norma displays every manipulative trick in the book to keep Norman under her control.She reveals secret issues about her life to Norman, to make him feel guilty so he can't pursue a normal life.

The school that Norman attends suggests he see a therapist and the mother is offended...How can anyone think something is wrong? However, the school is not suggesting, they are requiring Norman to see a therapist...so Norman and his mother enter the office.

Every question proposed to Norman, the mother answers and the therapist wants the mother to come for therapy.She says, [me] there is nothing wrong with me!

Do you think Norman can break free from Norma?

Are you aware of this disturbing mother, child dysfunction?
