Today’s Advent treat - absolutely scrummy health-giving recipes from Fiona Bruce at The Fisher King Centre. There are videos of Fiona preparing the dishes - I find these so therapeutic in themselves, without even trying the food. How about trying these for lunch this weekend?

Cygnus Advent treats
For Thursday 8th December, your Advent treat is a sample chapter of It Could Be Verse, a book which reminds us simply how important a role laughter plays in getting us through whatever life brings our way.

I was browsing through William Bloom’s The Power of Modern Spirituality when I noticed this lovely exercise, which is just part of our Advent gift to you on 7th December. What occurred to me as I read is that, in fact, when I stop and focus, I realise that I am a gift. Be still now and see what it brings for you…Sarah

Advent treats from Cygnus
And, to catch up with our unopened door from yesterday, we think it’s time for a ‘freebie’ draw! So, if you’d like a chance to receive a surprise parcel, just leave a heartwarming message as a gift to your Cygnus friends - on Facebook, Twitter or our blog, and at 6pm tomorrow evening we’ll select ten to receive a gift in return. (It will be a nice CD or book.) Make sure you give your real name (and membership number if possible), so we can trace you.
With love and blessings, Sarah and all at Cygnus

One of the best things about Advent calendars is that if you don’t open a door one day, it means you are allowed to open two doors the next day! It’s a two-treat day today! So, our first is an Advent treat for the little ones - a bedtime story, with a lovely message about sharing.

For today’s Advent treat, I decided to select a card from the Crystal Oversoul Attunements. As I took the cards from the box, and thumbed through the deck, one caught my eye. ‘What a lovely name’, I thought, and something about the mandala leapt at me, too. Then, in preparation for choosing ‘properly’, I took time to shuffle the cards thoroughly. I closed my eyes, brought myself to a state of connection, and asked for a card to share with Cygnus members today. I held the deck, face down and worked through until I felt a familiar ‘kick’ in my hands. I drew the card, and…
Yes, the very same card appeared. I just love it when that happens! So, here is our treat - a healing message of compassion. I hope something from this touches you today. With love and blessings, Sarah and all at Cygnus
