About This Candle Thomas Moore's Care of the Soul is one of my favorite books. As challenging as it is, I'm dedicated to my soul's growth blossoming. Our care of the soul candle was created to remind us to nourish the soul, however that may look and feel to each one of us. —Carla Blazek, creator, zena moon |

Customer Feedback Christina A. (Newcastle, WA) I've recently put pen to paper to record my goals--both spiritual and self-improvement--for the new 2002 year. Too often, I've mentally made "resolutions" only to find the hectic pace of life once again overrides my good intentions. This year, I've decided to keep a journal to record my goals as a daily reminder for me to care for my soul. One of these goals is to begin a nightly routine of meditation, enabling me to be mindful of myself and to just "be" in the moment. After much consideration, I decided your "Care of the Soul" candle would be the perfect one to use for this nightly gift to myself. I feel that to use this particular candle solely for my meditation time will help me better appreciate the moments I'm taking to honor my soul and my self. Thanks for creating such a special candle to help me embrace the quiet stillness.

1. The Seven Whispers: Listening to the Voice of Spirit
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: The connection with our spirit is like a phone line, explains Christina Baldwin in The Seven Whispers. "Sometimes I turn the ringer off. Sometimes I ignore the ringing. Sometimes I pick up the phone with suspicion. Sometimes I get impatient with the interruption." The irony, of course, is that "unlike a lot of other calls, the one from Spirit is the one we are hoping to receive." Baldwin (Life's Companion) excels in helping readers converse with the divine. Here, she devotes a chapter to each of the "Seven Whispers of spiritual commonsense":
1.) Maintain peace of mind ("the
cornerstone of a spiritual life")
This is a compact book, packed with a wise
woman's spiritual homilies. While no one can make Spirit phone home more
often,
Seven Whispers
will eliminate the static and make for a better connection. 2. The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Where better to
care for the soul than in the details of our daily lives? And so this profound
yet practical sequel to Moore's massive bestseller,
Care of the Soul,
explores how we may nurture our souls while eating, dressing, traveling and so
on. The soul, according to Moore, is a kind of sea of intelligence and
responsiveness to life; it animates, yet exceeds, the individual. The soul can
never be fully known or possessed, only glimpsed. Yet when we learn to open to
it, it can pull us into the beautiful mystery of our lives. "In a condition of
enchantment, we stop doing and the soul acts," writes Moore of a possible
soul-based therapy. "We stop interpreting and the soul is revealed." The
soul's power of enchantment can be engaged not just by listening in the
therapist's office, but by living surrounded by--and in harmony with--the
textures, tastes and images that inspire the imagination. Some of Moore's
reflections are simplistic, even dogmatic (for instance, that concern over the
healthiness of our food will diminish its resonance) or too romantic. But this
important book will dare many to believe that life really is full of
enchantment, if only we can go beyond our habitual literal-mindedness and
narcissism to experiment with that broader state of attunement that Moore
calls soul.

From Amazon.com: Anne Morrow Lindbergh's lyrical words are still relevant and presage so many of the themes of today's most popular books: simplicity, peaceful solitude, caring for the soul, a woman finding her place in society and life.

From Amazon.com: Angugama uses the didgeridoo and a drum beat, along with the sounds of nature, and synchronization with certain brain wave patterns, to clear the emotions and help focus the mind and heart on these beautiful sounds. It certainly works for me. The music is peaceful and meditative, and the stresses and tensions of daily life seem to melt away. Shamanic Dream creates a holistic experience of harmony, calmness, peace, and a oneness that feels mystical and sacred.

From Amazon.com: The composer Karunesh has created a forever soundscape that blends many cultural sounds together. The worldly instruments mixed with a modern acoustic sound creates some of the most beautiful ethnic vocals / songs ever imagined. Intricate sounds and rhythms; a tribal journey around the world woven together by a hypnotic bass and drumming featuring singers from all over the world: Native American, Indian, Persian, Tibetan, Aboriginal.

From Amazon.com: A movie guaranteed to make the blood boil, The Magdalene Sisters gives a lacerating account of life inside a Magdalene Laundry, one of the dismal asylums for "wayward women" run by the Catholic Church in Ireland. Director Peter Mullan, inspired by a TV documentary on the same subject, follows the miserable fates of three young women who are institutionalized in the 1960s for flimsy reasons; their lives are at the mercy of sadistic nuns (Geraldine McEwan is superb as the head of the place). The film sounds tortuous, but its rich sense of outrage and excellent performances--Nora-Jane Noone is a real discovery--make it consistently gripping. The movie won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival and went on to become a box-office hit in Ireland, where the Magdalene system was still a fresh memory. It had been abolished only in 1996.
2. The Hours (Full Screen Edition)
(2003) ~ DVD
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Delicate and hypnotic, The Hours interweaves three stories with remarkable skill: in the 1920s Virginia Woolf (Nicole Kidman) grapples with her inner demons and slowly works on her novel Mrs. Dalloway; in 1949 housewife Laura Brown (Julianne Moore) feels her own destructive impulses; and in 1999 book editor Clarissa Vaughn (Meryl Streep)--much like the title character of Woolf's novel--prepares to throw a party, in honor of her dearest friend, a seriously ill poet (Ed Harris). Small details reverberate from story to story as a powerhouse cast (including Allison Janney, Toni Collette, Claire Danes, Jeff Daniels, John C. Reilly, Stephen Dillane, and Miranda Richardson) gives subtle and beautifully modulated performances. In the hands of director Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot), The Hours is almost more a piece of music than a story, and like music, it may move you in unexpected ways.
3. Magnolia (New Line Platinum Series)
(2000) ~ DVD
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: A handful of people in the San Fernando Valley are having one hell of a day. TV mogul Earl Partridge (Jason Robards) is on his deathbed; his trophy wife (Julianne Moore) is popping pills with alarming frequency. Earl's nurse (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is trying desperately to get in touch with Earl's only son, sex guru Frank T.J. Mackey (Tom Cruise), who's about to have his carefully constructed past blown by a TV reporter (April Grace). Whiz kid Stanley (Jeremy Blackman) is being goaded by his selfish dad into breaking the record for the game show What Do Kids Know? Meanwhile, Stanley's predecessor, the grown-up quiz kid Donnie Smith (William H. Macy) has lost his job and is nursing a severe case of unrequited love. And the host of What Do Kids Know?, the affable Jimmy Gator (Philip Baker Hall), like Earl, is dying of cancer, and his attempt to reconcile with his cokehead daughter (Melora Walters) fails miserably. She, meanwhile, is running hot and cold with a cop (John C. Reilly) who would love to date her, if she can sit still for long enough. And over it all, a foreboding sky threatens to pour something more than just rain.
This third feature from Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights) is a maddening, magnificent piece of filmmaking, and it's an ensemble film to rank with the best of Robert Altman--every little piece of the film means something, and it's solidly there for a reason. Deftly juggling a breathtaking ensemble of actors, Anderson crafts a tale of neglectful parents, resentful children, and love-starved souls that's amazing in scope, both thematically and emotionally. Part of the charge of Magnolia is seeing exactly how may characters Anderson can juggle, and can he keep all those balls in air (indeed he can, even if it means throwing frogs into the mix). And it's been far too long since we've seen a filmmaker whose love of making movies is so purely joyful, and this electric energy is reflected in the actors, from Cruise's revelatory performance to Reilly's quietly powerful turn as the moral center of the story. While at three hours it's definitely not suited to everyone's taste, Magnolia is a compelling, heartbreaking, ultimately hopeful meditation on the accidents of chance that make up our lives. | |||||||||
