New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Today the Finnish celebrate Saint Urho, who when faced with a plague of locusts devouring Finland's wine-grape crop, simply told them, "Grasshopper, grasshopper, go to hell" and they left. Now, you probably don't have much of a grasshopper problem in March, in most of North America, but perhaps there is something else that is eating away at you. Be like Saint Urho and banish it to hell. Name your problem, writing it down on a piece of paper. Over a ceramic bowl, or the toilet, carefully light the paper on fire. As it burns say:
Problem, problem, go to hell. It is most effective if you substitute the exact words of your problem, as in: Self-doubt, self-doubt, go to hell. As the paper burns, envision your problem in the flames of the metaphorical hell. See Hades gleefully take it in. Be free of devouring locusts. |
