Blessings and Love to each of you! Sanat Kumara and Friends through Athene Raefiel It appears on a world scale that the immediate changes are not happening fast enough. There is still a great need for balance and sustenance. The Governing Bodies of the World have dedicated themselves to a world economy that has set everyone up to need everyone else.

Iâve often heard the advice, always trust your gut instinct. It leads me to wonder, whatâs inside my gut giving me all these great answers? Is there a little brain in there controlling biological signals to make me feel weird when Iâm about to make a mistake?

I had a client recently with what is referred to as What-if-itis. What-if-itis is when you’re worried about what hasn’t happened yet. She had a prospect that was referred to her but was scared to call because she was scared of what the outcome would be. She didn’t believe that she had the tools she needed for helping the client. We worked on her belief system and got her off the “starting blocks” so she could get past her fear. Once she called the prospect, she had a great conversation and now has a new client that she loves working with.

The first stage; gingivitis, refers to inflammation of the gums caused by plaque that forms on the teeth and gums. This substance, if not pr

Anyone who has suffered traumatic events has "stress." And, by expanding the terminology of PTSD, I think of all my EFT clients as having some form of “post-traumatic stress.” And while military personnel have received the most attention in this regard, this is not exclusively a military problem.

DO YOU KNOW YOU? Once we understand ourselves, the rest of living falls in line. What a great line, and makes me ask the question- Do you know you? At first, the initial answer is likely “yes, of course I do”. Funny, way back when, I would have and did react the same way.

Expressing and symbolizing human experience through meaningful concepts has long been an aim of religion, philosophy, and psychology. And few concepts do so more powerfully and effectively than that of purpose. The concept of purpose points not only to our experience of purposefulness, but also to our sense of vocation and identity (e.g., “My purpose in life is…”). It elegantly marries one of our most poignant inner experiences—that of personal meaning and mission—with our concept of self.
It can be frustrating to put a lot of work into a resume only to realize that it is not bringing back any interviewing opportunities.

I see it all the time, people selling themselves short. Be it on a professional level or a personal level, it happens all the time. It is the wrong job, wrong career, wrong boyfriend/girlfriend, etc. Here are some things to help you. Don’t give away your power to someone else. Keep it. In other words, never allow someone else to dehumanize you or violate your self-worth. You have everything that everyone else has; you just haven’t realized it yet. We are all the same. If you are not lazy, and you work hard, you can obtain what everyone else has, no excuses.

Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and other successful people understand this, and that is why they read with purpose, and read books that make them think. A study by the Institute for Policy Studies and United for a Fair Economy indicates that, “in 2007, CEOs in the United States took home an average of $10.5 million, 344 times the take-home for typical American workers .

What do you actually know? is the age-old question of philosophers and statesmen. A good answer, but not the only answer, is that you know what you have learned and experienced in the past. How can you know if you haven't learnt it, or remembered that experience? Which implies your mind only knows your previous events. Your regular, random, unrequested thoughts and emotions are based on the past. They're memories.
Hope is defined in the American Heritage Dictionary as, “To wish for (something) with expectation.” This definition works for most of our life; we hope for, love, success family, travel and wonderful experiences. Hope when we are terminally ill is still hope, but the definition does change.
The theme of last week’s conversations with my clients was…pricing. I was asked, how much should I charge? What do I do with my clients in low level programs; I know they need more, what do I do? I’m new to this, I don’t have enough experience to charge that much. And then the biggest question, how can I possibly charge “that”? I know my service is worth it, but I don’t think I can say that without throwing up.

How many times have you heard business gurus telling you to visualize success if you want to achieve it? I can't count the number of pieces of literature I've opened on subjects totally unrelated to psychology with a section in the book telling me to "program my subconscious" by "visualizing myself as a billionaire," assuring me that if I ever want to succeed in any type of business, I have to first trick my brain into thinking that I'm already successful in my desired field.
Perhaps nothing brings more people to their knees (or to an astrologer) than the trials and tribulations of relating to others – especially family, coworkers, neighbors and intimate relationships. It was my number one challenge for years – and having loving, supportive relationships remains of utmost importance to me.

The way to healthy relationships is through cultivating a loving, supportive relationship with yourself first.
If you practice at attaining and maintaining a positive mental attitude and positive frame of mind at all times, and it does take practice, I am confident that this practice will help achieve all the success in the world you are seeking. You will also become a source of success for those around you. You will become the reason through which some others will be motivated to change and benefit and gain improvement and success too. They may also at times wonder how you did it, and how you are so successful and they will want to be around you and some may want to be just like you.
We all have the ability to make decisions that will determine the ultimate outcome and the achievement of our WHY in life! There is a very thin line between being a Winner or being a Loser. The Olympic Games are a great example of this statement. You could win a Gold Medal by beating your competitor by the tiniest one thousandth of a second! When you compare life to the Olympics, it is the same. You need to always maintain a “Winner’s Mindset” in order to attain your WHY in L
We all know the battle of the mind vs. the senses… is the tail wagging the dog or did we simply forget to hitch the mule to the cart? In a sense (pardon the pun), it's the popular theme of mind over matter – a very powerful concept akin to the word of God (logos) that created the world. Now let's say you have any one of a number of nasty habits or New Years' resolutions (current or past) that you're keen on disciplining. They could range anywhere from trying to get in a regimented exercise routine, losing weight, stop smoking or eating meat, sexual abstinence or imbibing drugs/alcohol.
