Cities across the world celebrate the day-before with colorful parades and over-the-top parties. Then Wednesday arrives ... Sigh. Lent has begun.
You hear about devout friends giving up seemingly innocent things in life (like chocolate) or stressing out to live a more perfect life during six grueling weeks - for reasons you don't completely understand. Sermons about penitence are preached, and guilt soaks the congregation.
Sound like a good time?! It's time to rethink Lent.
Or at least see it for the positive opportunity it offers. It's spring-cleaning for the soul! Lent offers you time to pause, consider, and renew your relationship with God - an altogether hopeful (not dreary)! experience.
"To arrive at newness of life, we first name parts of our lives that are shrouded in darkness," writes Parsons. "To put it very dramatically,... your first order of business is to break your heart for God. We walk through some muck so that we can leave it behind and find Easter joy beyond... With God's help we will clear the darkness away and begin to experience greater joy and newness of life."
Sure, there's work to be done during Lent, but it's the gentle, gradual work of opening one's heart and mind to grace. A Clearing Season will move you week by week from wilderness to holy ground, using a personal tone that will stir and challenge personal reflection.
Parsons includes exercises for small groups, as well as questions at the end of each chapter for individual reflection. Also included is an appendix of spiritual practices for Lent you may not have considered before.Cities across the world celebrate the day-before with ! colorful parades and over-the-top parties.

âThis book and CD will help you understand the functions of the major chakras,
and esoteric methods for clearing them of fear. Your natural state is one of high energy,
intuition, and creativity. You donât need to add anything to yourself to enjoy
these characteristicsâ"you already own them within yourself. Just like a sculptor needs to
chip away the parts of the statue that arenât part of the ultimate creation, you only
need to clear away fear to reveal your innate qualities.ââ" Doreen Virtue
For readers who seek a straightforward guidebook on learning about the chakra system and how to keep it healthy, this is an excellent resource. Virtue, who is a bestselling author (
Messages From Your Angels,
Healing With the Angels) and clairvoyant doctor of psycholo! gy, identifies the placements and functions of these "energy c! enters" in the body. She then teaches readers how to keep these chakras clear and clean, leading to greater health and energy.
The chakras themselves are a beautiful progression of shifting colors, starting with the red root chakra at the base of the spine and moving up the body, shade-by-shade, and ending with the royal purple "crown" chakra at the top of the head. Each chakra interacts with a person's issues and concerns in the world. For instance, the root chakra relates to basic survival, such as money, shelter, and material needs, according to Virtue. If a person feels stable in this arena, the "root chakra looks like a brilliant ruby held under a spotlight," she explains. However, if people feel fearful about money or become overly obsessed with their career or possessions, this chakra will be come "dirty" and have a muddy, dark red color.
Virtue offers an extensive assortment of original, guided meditations that are effective in cleaning and clearing all the cha! kras. The information is well organized and clearly presented with a corresponding CD to help readers integrate the meditations into daily life. She also touches upon other cleaning tools, such as what foods and crystals support the chakra system. Advanced energy workers may find this material basic, but beginners should find it an outstanding primer. --Gail Hudson
