And doing the challenge always brings me new viewers to connect with; usually, a thousand or more new viewers! This month, I got really lucky!!! I had one 4000+ week and several that got over 3000, so I am sure that's at least 13,000 pageviews - which is definitely not the norm. Plus, remember I wanted each post to have a video in it, but I didn't think I would be able to do it? I did it!! :)

Which one's calling your name today?
One...
Did you pick this one? If so, then the best peace practice for you to try today is the praying hands position. It's not just for prayer, or for yoga's namaste. If you hold the position for several minutes, or longer, you are likely to begin to relax and feel more peaceful.
Two...
If you chose the second one, candlelight is the one you chose. Light a candle and spend some time gazing at its flame. Breathe deeply and slowly as you watch it flicker, letting it help you relax.
Three...
If it was the third one that you picked, you chose the hands-over-heart position. This position is a reiki position, a yoga heart-opening position and a way to choose peace. Hold it for several minutes, allow your shoulders to drop and begin to relax.
To deepen your experience of any of these hygge spiritual practices, you can breathe deeply, say a prayer, mentally repeat an affirmation, or just look through the window at nature and watch the trees branches blow in the wind.
Imagine that the version of you who is relaxed and at peace already exists.
This practice you have chosen - or that has chosen you - is just the path you will take to get there. To become peace.
Try it and let me know how it goes, in a comment below.
See you next time!
love, Jeanine

This week, I suggested practices that might be familiar to you already, but gave you ideas for making each one spiritual, for taking it out of the ordinary without losing any of the comfort. Creating a hygge ritual should be something you will look forward to it the way you look forward to your daily tea moments, or the movies you watch on the weekends.
But whether you do a brief ritual or just one hygge spiritual practice, the goal is a two-fer: it helps you grow, spiritually, and creates a warm, cozy, hygge moment for you.
But what if you don't have time? Hygge rituals can be brief when there's not enough time for a longer one.
One idea for a brief hygge ritual is to take five minutes for a cup of tea and use one of those minutes for daydreaming about the life you want to create, offering up that dream as a wish as you take your last sip of tea. Or, you could light a tealight while you eat a meal and say a prayer each time your gaze lands on the candle flame.
Watch the video as you think about what appeals to you most. What would your hygge ritual look and feel like?
