February 1: The Giving Tree

Theme: Gifting

The Daily Spark: "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." — Mahatma Gandhi

The Meditation: On the Playa, we don't use money. We use Gifting. This means when you give something to a friend, you don't ask for anything back. It is a pure gift! Today, think of yourself as a magical tree in the desert. Your branches are full of gifts—like smiles, kind words, or helping hands. When you give from your heart, you don't lose anything; your branches actually grow stronger and more beautiful.

The Practice:

1. NLP (The Gifting Beam):

   • Step 1: Find a comfortable seat. Close your eyes. Imagine a person you want to be nice to. Someone who needs your positive energy sent to them telepathically.

   • Step 2: See a beam of pink light coming out of your heart.

   • Step 3: Watch the light travel to that person and wrap around them like a warm hug.

   • Step 4: Notice how happy they look in your mind.

   • Step 5: Notice how you feel about giving this person the gift of love.

   • Step 6: Now imagine the pink light coming out of your heart, swirling around your head and wrapping you in a warm pink hug. Give yourself love.

   • Step 7: You have just given this person, and yourself, the greatest give of all--LOVE!
