6.28.2013 Today is the day! I'm very excited that I was able to launch my kickstarter campaign today in effort to raise money for my book. My heart is overwhelmed with gratitude already. I want to take this time to thank all of my Spiritual Anthropology readers across the globe. Moreover, I'm happy to be able to involve you all in this collective effort. Although the Kickstarter page has it all laid out in black and white, ( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jehrodalain/digging-deep-into-a-dream ) I would like to lay it all out here on the blog.  It is this very blog that gave me the courage to write this book and to feel how people connected with my writing. With international readership, Spiritual Anthropology is being read in countries like Russia, Malaysia, France, and many other places. I'm grateful to have been able to connect in this way for the last three years.  So the book is an extension of the truth telling work that i've been doing here. I...

Four Prayers For Business Leaders  On Being Used   Dear God,  I dedicate to You my talents and abilities. May they be used in a way that serves your purposes.  I surrender to You my business and finances.  May my work be lifted to its highest possibility, as a blessing on all the world.  Amen.  On Birthing a Business Idea   Dear God,  May this business idea be of service to the greater good of all.  If it is not the best use of my talents, please cast it from my mind.  If it is the best use of my talents, please pave the way for its success.  Guide all my thinking and my actions.  Amen.  On Being of Service  Dear God,  May this business be a blessing on everyone who works here and everyone it serves.  May it both bring and attract prosperity and love.  Amen.  On Facing Difficulties   Dear God,  I kno...

A Prayer for Those Who Can't Move Forward:  Dear God,  Please help me to forgive my mistakes of the past. Please help me to forgive those who denied me my good.  Please show me the innocence inside us all. I am willing to see that only love is real, But the pain of circumstances holds a grip on my heart.  Please flood my mind with divine perception, That I might see through the veil of illusion and be free to begin again.  Thank you, God.  Amen. 

A Love Supreme  For the month of June, Spiritual Anthropology will focus on the power of prayer and mindfulness. I believe these two tools are inseparably indispensable and when used accordingly, they allow you to experience the fullness of miracles. Christ taught his disciples to pray what we call "The Lord's Prayer":  "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead is into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.    - Matthew 6:9-13 (NKJV) What a beautiful and powerful prayer, especially the "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" sentiment.  What happens when we pray? What is the direct purpose of prayer? Does praying really work? These are just some of the questions I want to explore wi...

AN OPEN LETTER TO YOU June 2, 2013  I want to open this letter by saying thank you. Thank you for supporting Spiritual Anthropology by taking the time to read my thoughts and insights as often as I post them. My life is richer because I know that you are there, reading while eating your oatmeal like Ja'Leasa, drinking your coffee like Kim, urging all your friends to read the blog like Z'kera, and giving me the most insightful feedback like Chantal and the many other of you who support this work. Today my heart is overflowing with gratitude and humility on this 3rd year anniversary of the blog.  Spiritual Anthropology is more about you than it is about me. I mean that. I firmly believe that when one person shares his/her truth, they give others the space to do the same. It is truth that makes us free enough to live fully and with love, and courage. Truth makes it possible for peace to come in, as well as the light. Imagine a more truthful world. Do you believe ...
