"I hope that Mount Sinai will obey the law and allow health-care workers not to assist in abortion against their beliefs," she said in a statement. "I believe lots of nurses and doctors throughout the country are being pressured to assist abortion, and I want them to know they are not alone, and they should speak up for their rights of conscience."

In ancient times dancing had been an integral part of worship. Exodus 15:20 records how Miriam and others danced for joy to celebrate their deliverance by the mighty Hand of God. The Hebrew Scriptures mentions numerous times when dancing was used to express one’s thankfulness to the Lord.

How long does this take, will it happen the first time? Possibly, possibly not. We can’t determine how long this process takes, all we can do is persevere, intent is all that’s required and the ability to loose your mind. What we do know is that the experience enriches your spirituality and makes future communications a damn sight easier.

Remember that I draw these techniques from my own early explorations and they worked for me. Be inspired by them, don’t accept them as written in stone, explore and develop your own unique method of connection. Us it all by all means, or twist and tweak them to your own suiting. Above all, enjoy the process, loose yourself in a relationship that will last forever.

Pick a day and time that is significant to you, perhaps a festival of the turning year, a phase of the moon applicable to what you know of the deity from your research. Use astrological attributes, solar and stellar movements. Immerse yourself in your desire to know them, loose yourself in small rites and rituals that lead up to the big day. On the day itself take yourself to a place where you will not be disturbed for at least an hour. If you have, take with you a drawing or sculpture you have created to express the deity, or anything that pertains to your connection so far. Be confident that you will meet your deity and connect to it.
