7. Smelling: Breathe your buddy in

Pamper your buddy with wonderful aromas, sandalwood and apple pies, perfumes, incenses and essential oils

8. Smell again: Breathe your buddy out.

”Aerobicize” your buddy; move it, dance it, walk it, stretch it… Rest it!

9. Tasting: Feed your buddy love

Give your buddy exactly what s/he is hungry for. What is special of day? Serve it to your buddy as if s/he was most precious guest. Savor every bite with total abandon.

10. Taste again: Water your body as a rose.

Drink water throughout day. Take long showers. Luxuriate in bubble baths. Walk in between raindrops.

those who journeyed through land of dead. She was often painted

on inside lid of sarcophagus, protecting dead until he or

she, like Ra, could be reborn in their new life.

In Book of Dead, Nut was seen as a mother-figure to sun god

Ra, who at sunrise was known as Khepera and took form of a scarab

beetle (at noon he was Ra at his full strength, and at sunset he was

known as Tem (Temu, Atem) who was old and weakening):

The gods rejoice greatly when they see my beautiful appearances from

the body of goddess Nut, and when goddess Nut bringeth me

forth.

She was also called on to help deceased in one of spells of

Book of Dead:

There were many festivals to Nut through year, including

'Festival of Nut and Ra' and 'Feast of Nut'. But, despite being a

protector of dead, she was a personification of sky - a cosmic

deity - and no temples or specific cult centers are linked to her.

She was thought to be mother of five children on five extra

days of Egyptian calendar, won by Thoth - Osiris who was born on

the first day, Horus Elder on second, Set on third, Isis on

the fourth, and Nephthys last born on fifth day. The days on

which these deities were born were known as 'five epagomenal days

of year', and they were celebrated all over Egypt:

1. Osiris - an unlucky day 2. Horus Elder - neither lucky nor unlucky 3. Seth - an unlucky day 4. Isis - a lucky day, "A Beautiful Festival of Heaven and Earth." 5. Nephthys - an unlucky day How to pray to Nut. Let her as mother of us all help us remember we

are all brothers and sisters in this world. Let Nut come into your life

and teach you to love your brothers and sister as yourself for we are

all one.
