Low self esteem can cause us to unwittingly inflict severe emotional pain on ourselves by making poor choices in relationships, work situations, finances, etc. This week, we highlight some wonderful Self Help eBooks and eCourses geared towards emotional healing. Some of these are new titles for our growing catalog. These valuable resources are sold at a small fraction of the cost of a live therapy session. Not to imply that in-person therapy sessions aren't of value! But a good self help book or course can also take you a long way on your healing journey.

If emotional healing is your focus these days, please check out below resources along with a wonderful article on self love by author Arna Baatz.

Loving and Caring for Self By Arna Baartz, Excerpt from her book I am Inspiration: Emotional Intelligence; The Key to Success The best teachers are people with high self-esteem. The way you care for yourself as an adult is connected to how you were cared for as a child. Another contributing factor to self-esteem is what we witnessed as a child; how did your parents care for themselves? They looked after you but did they look after themselves? Children who grow up being cared for by parents who care for themselves, are in an optimal position for... Read on.

Transform Negativity by Embracing Lakshmi's Dark Twin, Alakshmi
by Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway

Lakshmi, Goddess of Good Fortune, has a sister named Alakshmi. Alakshmi is the complete opposite of her beautiful sibling. She is considered a Goddess of Misfortune. It is generally believed that where there is trouble, poverty, misery, and calamity, there's Alakshmi. Before you can fully appreciate the Goddess Lakshmi, you must first reckon with her sibling, Alakshmi.

Closing Thoughts

Honoring Lakshmi
Comments by Rev. Laurie Sue, author of Just Ask Lakshmi: Praying to the Goddess of Fortune and Discovering the Goddess: A Path to Healing, Spirituality and Joy

Goddess Lakshmi comes alive this week during the Hindu holiday of Diwali (or Deepavali). Celebrated by many as the Hindu New Year, it is five day festival filled with sparkling lights, colorful saris, homemade sweets, visits with friends and relatives, prosperity prayers, and worship of the the Goddess of Fortune, Lakshmi. It happens each year on an autumn new moon. This year it begins on October 26, 2011.

For those of you who are new to the Goddess, She comes into your life in addition to any other form of spirituality you hold dear. She comes to enhance who you already are and open a new way for you to see and know yourself; to heal and enrich your spiritual journey.


This Month's Holistic Prayer

Prayer to The Mistress of Riches
It is suggested that this prayer be offered to Lakshmi on Friday, because that is the day that represents her planet, Venus. When offering this prayer before an icon or image of Lakshmi it is also appropriate to have icons or images of Saraswati and Kali. Together they represent the trilogy--the three worlds of the divine feminine.

You are auspicious among all auspicious things.
You are holy and fulfill our wants.
You are the one to whom we surrender.
You are the mother having three aspects of nature,
You are the consort of Narayan.
I bow down to you.
~ from Rituals and Festivals of India, by Tara Bapat, Focus Books, 1991

Happy Diwali!


Peace, Love and Light,
