Christmas Meditations on the Twelve Holy Days
December 26 - January 6

By Merry C. Battles
is a compilation of twenty-six years of my personal dedication to the twelve holy days of Christmas. The continuation of Christmas starts on December 26 through January 6. It's very special to continue celebrating when most of the world thinks it is over. For this reason I always keep my Christmas tree up until after the sixth.
     The inspiration for my work came from Mystery of the Christos by Corinne Heline. Each day is assigned to a disciple, sign of the Zodiac, spiritual center of the physical body, attainment, and a thought meditation from the Bible. As the days progress, see the previous spiritual centers illumined, until the twelfth night when the whole body is seen in light.
     According to Corinne Heline during the 12 holy days the Earth is enveloped with the love and light of the Cosmic Christ. The radiant Christ makes four major contacts with the earth during the course of the year. These coincide with the equinoxes and solstices. The Archangelic Christ showers the earth with the rarest of perfumes. Every cell, atom, and molecule is infused with the love of God. This love permeates to the center of our planet and to our own Spirit. It becomes a wonderful time for soul dedication to the divine path of God.
     The meditations are to be read on the appropriate holy day. The reader can then explore his/her own messages. These Christmas meditations can also be used while the Earth travels through each sign of the Zodiac. For example, as we are in the sign of Aries, read the meditations for the holy day of Aries. The universal theme for that time is "Behold, I make all things new." The book can also be opened any day at random to receive a message for that day.
     Participate in an Spiritual dedication to the 12 holy days of Christmas. Join in this opportunity to connect with your Spirit and the true meaning of the Christmas season.

"I find this book to be a wonderful way to honor the twelve holy days of Christmas as they conjoin with the signs of the Zodiac, so that you can focus your meditations to help you move up the spiritual path. This book brings a new metaphysical, spiritual depth to the holy season, and to each part of the body which is then linked to each sign of the Zodiac and to each disciple."

"In Christmas Meditations on the Twelve Holy Days December 26 - January 6 by Merry C. Battles (an experienced public speaker and some one who has dedicated the past twenty-six years of her life to a personal dedication to the twelve high holy days of Christmas) will help Christians of all denominational affiliations to celebrate one of the truly sacred times of year - long after most other folks think it is over. Each of the twelve holy days is assigned to a disciple, a sign of the Zodiac, a spiritual center of the physical body, a specific attainment, and a thought meditation drawn from the Bible. Christmas Meditations on the Twelve Holy Days is a unique and welcome contribution to the growing library of devotional and meditation literature sacred to the Christmas season."                                                                                                         SUSAN BETHANY

In this book the author brings us channeled material on these special days of the Christmas season. She explains how she sat down with a lit candle, the intent to share love and enlightened messages with the world and then the words would just effortlessly flow. After reading this precious book, I can understand a lot more about the need to be quiet and listen to our still small voice inside.
The book is broken up into 12 sections given to the 12 days after the celebration of Christmas, but as the author points out can be used during the months of the Zodiac, because each month, as each day has its own focus, and its own spiritual message. In one of her many prose, Merry tells us each ray of sunlight shows us the rainbow a sentiment I wholeheartedly agree with. Love shines on every page through a compilation of words, and wonderful illustrations and I was left feeling so close to God. I would recommend this book to anyone who feels the spirit of Christmas lives on and on in every day and every way. Thanks Merry.

"This book is a gift. The author uses astrology, poetry and philosophy from beautiful traditions that celebrate hope, love and peace. The book can be enjoyed anytime or used everyday as a source of inspiration, meditation and affirmations. The easy to read chapters explore the heart/mind connection by "checking in" with the soul. The words in the book, by the author and quoted from enlightened masters, serve as a gentle reminder that we can manifest a more peaceful planet when we connect with the peace that begins in our own heart. I highly recommend this book!"

"I am a student of the mystic Joel Goldsmith and use Christmas Meditations on the Twelve Holy Days December 26 - January 6 every day of the year.  Joel Goldsmith suggested that we meditate on Bible passages so that the meaning is given to us from within. Our meditations can help us to live the truth of these passages in our lives. Merry Battles book offers a wonderful opportunity to do just that."
DJR Weldon, CA


"Merry Battles book Christmas Meditations on the Twelve Holy Days brings CHRIST back into Christmas in a deeply spiritual way. At a time when our planet is more and more troubled, our help and salvation is in the inner peace possible by beginning each new year and even every month contemplating on the 12 Holy Days."
Pat Parkinson Castille, AZ
 
"Dear Merry,
Your book Christmas Meditations on the Twelve Holy Days inspired me to pray and mediate on the one true path of Love. It was a reminder of the power of Love and the existance of Love in all of us. Put so beautiful it opened my heart to that Love. I look forward to your next book."
Sincerely,
BC
 
"A friend brought me a copy of your book Christmas Meditations on the Twelve Holy Days. I can't begin to tell you what a wonderful book I found it. Awesome is so overused these days, but it is the only word I can think of to describe the book. I think the poems are my favorite, but it is all just wonderful. I can hardly believe that with the all that writing talent you did the beautiful illustrations too. It seems very much inspired as well as very inspiring."

TWO SUNS
Two suns represent our Father Mother God.
Shining in our heavens they will show us
The balance of the positive and negative.
Our Father Mother teaches us
The strength of union,
To produce the perfect Son or Daughter of God –
The Christ, the presence of love in our universe.
These two suns will shine when we produce
The balance of this planet…
When woman takes her equal place with man,
When God is seen as Mother as well as Father.
The sun giving life, growth, and light represents
The love of the Cosmos.
When Mother God takes Her place with Father God
In our hearts and minds,
The two suns will be seen by all.
