The law of reciprocity–karma–is always at play in our lives, whether we are aware of it or not. This Christmas season could be a perfect time to observe the wonder of its workings. 2011 has been a tough financial year for many. Yet, precisely because of this, we have a unique opportunity to experience the immediate “effects” of extending ourselves to others: Be it through tucking personal notes into greeting cards, serving hot meals at a soup kitchen, walking or playing with abandoned pets at a local animal shelter, visiting shut-ins, or taking one lonely child carolling or to see her first Christmas lights display, we find the immediate sense of warmth and joy derived from giving the gift of Self to be so much more fulfilling than the short-lived tummy tickle the giving of any object could possibly bring. Though money might be scarce, this year has the potential to be one of the most lavishly rich seasons of your life. Happy Holidays!
