Trees were respected since the beginning of time. Different cultures acknowledged the magic powers within ancient trees and performed various rituals around them. A tree can simply bewitch you offering a sense of mystery and magic, taking you into the journey of green respect towards this witness of time passing, into the wisdom of its mature being. Its roots lie deep in the ground. The leaves draw energy from the sunlight. The trunk is strong and wide. What is the tree hiding: ancient secrets, ghosts, goblins, spirits, ferries or just squirrels?
Druids were priests of an ancient Celtic religious order. They thought that the oak tree is sacred and they carried out their religious rituals in oak forests. They chose the deepest parts of woodlands for their most sacred places.
The Pagans used the Yew tree as the focus of their worship. Apparently, the Yew has a particular quality that inspires a feeling of awe.
The Greeks and Romans decorated their dwellings with ivy, taking evergreen plants into their houses acknowledging their magical qualities.
The Christmas tree is a symbol adopted by Christian tradition, referring to the salvation that Jesus brought to the world by his birth.

Conscious Parenting Review: This Book is a Treasure!
By Zoya Lu, Yoga and Meditation Teacher, August 2015, Amazon Review
This book is a treasure! I've been on the path of self-development for over 15 years and of motherhood for 3 years. I've learned a lot on the way. Yet the Conscious Parenting book has taught me a great deal of parenting wisdom. It's based on the idea that to be a good parent one has to be a good person which we all know. But how do we achieve this? The author amazes me with her capacity to offer a very spiritual approach in a very down-to-earth way. The book is full of practical tips, questionnaires, tables and charts, and concrete steps to improve ALL areas of one's life (including your eating habits, your home environment, identifying your mental fixations, mastering your daily habits, observing your emotions, etc.) I haven't finished it yet, it's 228 pages and I find myself reading the chapters I most attracted to first. It's not a book you read and put on the far-away shelf. I keep it close for daily doses of inspiration and I feel I will go back to it again and again. If you are ready to actively change yourself and enjoy parenthood which brings joy of deep connection to your child, you'll find this book is surely worth your investment.
The Secret of enlightenment is not in Perfection but in Completeness
I don’t know what your relationship with the Mythical Mare that lives within our sub-conscious sending night-mares to kids is, but mine used to come every night to torture me until I learned how to fly. Just as a insight, I had much difficulties contemplating the sentence: ‘It is never too late to re-live your childhood happily’and I had to meditate deeply and profoundly to comprehend its secret and sacred meaning. The inner alchemy Fairies do not always protect the kids and my parents were too occupied with their Shadow Work to notice how deeply disturbing this could be for a child.
Alchemy of Love as a Childhood Dream
We never knew Luxury but we travelled twice a year for shopping and culture trips visiting Vienna, Rome, Istanbul, Athens throughout my childhood. My father lost both his parents when he was 18 and was left with four other siblings with no money or relatives to help, yet this didn't stop him from doing his Phd in Law, taking care of all the brothers and sisters, and publishing an amazing number of 27 legal books. We discussed Plato at home, read Utopia, analyzed Roman Law and its pitfalls, talked about Tolstoy and his sense for social justice, equality and searched for a perfect social system that would come to Earth when the Humanity is ready for it. Discussing our inner drive towards unconditional justice was my breast-feeding milk during the early youth.
Just around the time of my High-school successes I came across meditation and the search for the Inner Perfection. The Alchemy of Soul and the Alchemy of Humanity beautifully presented themselves to the student that was ready to learn from: Hesse, Anthroposophy Group, Meditation Groups (such as Sai Baba, Hare Krishnas, Komaja, Ananda Marga), Zen Groups, Sufi Groups, Tai-Chi Groups, at Spiritual Healing Courses and Seminars, Macrobiotic, Vegetarian and Vegan Cooking Experiments, Mantra Singing Workshops, that were mushrooming at that time in Belgrade, Serbia.
