I love these public holidays!

Usually there is less morning

noise, less traffic, and fewer

people rushing from here to

there. This is the perfect time

for sadhana or spiritual prac-

tice. I usually create a special

Yantra in these quiet mornings

and spend the later parts of

the day going to a park or the

beach for a picnic with family.

I celebrate everything close

to me and shower it all with

gratitude. #avoidthebusy

I use the quiet Thanksgiving
holiday to reconnect with
friends and catch up on read-
ing. After writing How To
Survive Your Childhood Now
That You’re An Adult, I’ve
found that it is time for me to
replenish, nurture, and nourish
my curiosity. I’m planning to
expand my horizons related
to the latest philosophy and
psychology thought leaders.
My overall attitude in life is,
“I’m here to learn; I’m here to
serve.”

We asked a selection of this month’s contributors the following question:

What are some things you will be incorporating in your Thanksgiving

celebrations this year?

Wim Hof told me this about

food, “Food equals energy. So

if you have a different source

of energy then you don’t need

to eat food as your only source

of energy.” This Thanksgiving

I intend to take in energy from

a variety of sources, especially

the energy of Gratitude and

of music. I even created a

Thanksgiving Spotify Playlist.

Email me at shiva@sacredpath-

music.com if you’d like me to

share it with you.

Thanksgiving is the biggest

holiday of the year in my

family. Our relatives visit

from all over the country and

we extend the dining room

table to fit everyone. We share

delicious, healthy food, wine,

great conversations, and a lot

of love. I look forward to it

every year!
