Religion and Spirituality on squidoo

Mysticmama has made quite a career at squidoo. She joined early 2009 and is already a giant squid top 100 member. She shares in the spiritual niche with me, but with a different focus. The lens I want to share with you today is about a topic that I know many people wonder about: what’s the power of prayer? How does prayer relate to meditation? On this lens she doesn’t just talk about Christian prayer, but also about Tibetan Prayerflags and prayerwheels, about prayer beads in Roman Catholicism, Buddhism and Hinduism, meditation and her own experience with healing prayer. All in all a fascinating lens that let’s you join in on the discussion.

One of the classic spiritual teachers from the 1960’s is Richard Bach. His ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’ is a powerful story of a seagull who transcends what it means to be a bird – and ends up teaching others to fly like he does. Powerfully inspiring, these teachings forshadow ‘the secret’ in many ways, without the focus on money that so spoils the teachings of many who talk about ‘the law of attraction‘.

Are there two spiritual traditions more at odds than Christianity and Paganism? The word Pagan used to denote anyone who was not Christian. These days however, paganism is making a comeback as a nature religion in which male and female are more in balance. It was perhaps to be expected that some would try to bridge the gap between Christianity and Paganism by simply uniting the two. Let BooBooBear explain how… on her lens ChristoPaganism.
