When you are preparing a presentation, an important question to consider is: Do I really need to use slides? The answer, of course, is it depends.

Each person gets their karmuppance. We get everything we want—sooner or later, if not in this inca ation, then in another. And often when we finally get it, we don't want it. As the process of karmic fruition speeds up, our lives get freer and freer from attachment and we create less and less karma.” RAM DASS Dear ONE, Our biannual Eclipse season is upon us, ratcheting up the intensity and setting up the themes for the next six months and beyond, as it always does. Can you feel the momentum building yet?
Trying to lose weight during the holidays can be very stressful and difficult at best! Christmas and Winter Holidays are the season of over-eating, over-indulging and generalized gluttony! And we have that built-in excuse to over-eat: It's the holiday! However, there's a payback in the form of weight gain, discomfort and disappointment with yourself for over eating, yet again.

Despite the pain it elicits, loss teaches us about the delicate balance, intensity, and richness of life. We cannot experience the pain of loss without first having experienced the joys associated with what has been lost. In the movie Shadowlands, poet Joy Gresham, in speaking about her impending death to author C. S. Lewis, expresses, "The greater the love, the deeper the sorrow and the longer it will take to work through it. That's the deal." The heartbreak that wounds us most deeply eventually leads us to greater enlightenment, blessing our lives with a more spiritual depth of life.

This situation for me was something I had to contend with for many years. The room is full but for me it may as well have been empty. All I can hear is white noise, were they talking to me? Why would they want to talk to me? Someone asks me if I am ok but the voice seems so far away, somewhat like a distant echo. I am stuck within my mind. Why does the world not stop turning, there is nothing out there but pain and sorrow. All of a sudden the room becomes full, people crowdin

They all start with the letter ‘m’ and they seem to do similar things. However, there are certainly differences between the three forms.

As with
Moving from one city to another is a complicated and difficult process that can pester anyone.

How deeply connected are your relationships—all kinds of relationships, but especially romantic ones? How exciting is your connection with those you are close to, particularly your romantic partner if you have one? We think of the French as great lovers, the British as not so great.

Yes, of course you can become a healer. What is a healer, anyway? Is a healer an individual who strikes someone in the head, thereby dazing them, displaying “miracle power?” Is a healer a doctor who has studied year after year in medical school? How can you become a healer if these two choices are either unappealing or seemingly inaccessible?
What happens when pleasing others runs contrary to serving your own best interests? People all over the country have told me that they feel held back by the very people they believe should be helping them succeed.

People are just like crabs in a bucket; family, can be like crabs in a tall bucket with a lid on it! If you ever have the chance to observe this behavior, do so…it’s fascinating.

Unless you really want the particular brand represented by the coupon, there are better ways to cut your costs. Here are a few examples. Bring a calculator and cash. If you need to budget for groceries, then bring only what your budget allows.

I had a conversation with a potential client this week about her article marketing SEO efforts. She had hired someone to submit her articles to article directories and social networking sites, but she wasn't getting the results she expected. I took a quick look at her articles on one of the article directories and quickly discovered the problem. The articles were not tweaked for the search engines, or SEO (search engine optimization).
The Last Supper was painted by the Italian artist, Leonardo DaVinci. It took seven years for him to complete the project. The figures representing the Twelve Apostles and Christ were painted from living persons. The live model for the painting of the figure of Christ was chosen first. When it was decided that DaVinci would paint this great picture, hundreds of young men were carefully viewed in an endeavor to find a face and personality exhibiting innocence and beauty, free from the scars and signs of dissipation caused by sin.

As the highway whisks me onward, I shake my head in despair. The DMV will be a zoo. It’s lunchtime...on a Friday...at the end of the month. Horrible. But I‘ve no choice.

As a health practitioner I am always hearing from my patients that they don't have enough time to exercise or do stretches or any of the other things I recommend so I decided to see how easy it would be to increase the amount of exercise I participated in. So, a couple of months ago I stupidly came up with the idea to increase the amount of time I used my exercise bike on a daily basis. My plan was to start on the first day of the month and do one minute of exercise, on the second day do two minutes of exercise and so on...

Definition - S: (n) posttraumatic stress disorder, PTSD (an anxiety disorder associated with serious
The Four Agreements has given me a nice reminder about the importance of not taking things personally. It is something that I have gotten better about with time, but there is always room for improvement! The first time I was ever presented with the idea that peace of mind could come from not taking things personally was when I took a certificate course in dispute resolution years ago. In the book Getting to Yes, one of the recommended readings for the course, they speak about separating the person from the problem.

What should I do with my hands when I'm presenting?" is a common question that I hear when I'm teaching public speaking. Your hands form an important part of your non-verbal communication, or body language, and can help you convey confidence and communicate more effectively to your audience. Here are 5 tips for what to do with your hands: 1. Be Aware of What Your Hands Are Doingr The first step in preventing your hands from distracting your audience is to become conscious of what your hands are doing. Are you cracking your knuckles, playing with your pen or twisting your note cards?
Are feelings and thoughts enough to create the things we want in life? In 2006, the bestselling movie and book entitled The Secret gained widespread popularity by telling us just that. If we declare our intentions and step into the emotions of already receiving what we desire, the result will manifest itself. I’m not here to debunk the notion, but to share what they forgot to tell you. You have to take action. That’s right — you have to be prepared do something.
In the last issue we talked about the art of surrender, that is letting go of all of the beliefs about how you think your life is going to look and allowing the Universe to determine the perfect outcome. And surrender is about stopping the battle with your ego and living from your heart. Notice that I said that when you surrender, you need to ALLOW the Universe to determine the perfect outcome. If you are given many great ideas, but you don't listen to them, (allow them) what good will they do? There is a real, almost magical benefit to allowing all possibilities.
Cooking with spices is an aspect of cooking that frustrates many people. The questions I receive all highlight a confusion over which spices to buy, how to use them, and how much of them to use. All of those questions can be answered with a simple change in thinking. Use ethnic profiling. First, don’t over-think it. Herbs and spices are best used to accent the natural flavor of a particular ingredient. They won’t make or break your dish in the end. A quarter-teaspoon too lit
Want to boost productivity and morale? Save time and improve relationships? Stop sending emails. How did we ever survive without it? A real time saver. For some things. For others – a real time zapper. Just imagine….or maybe you don’t even have to imagine…it happens to many people every day. You have a question for your colleague, Jim. You type an email. Worried the tone is wrong, you re-do it. Then spell check it. Jim gets it.
rnIt is not necessary to be a keen observer of the social scene to realize that the marital relationship as we know it is floundering and, in many cases, sinking. The divorce rate is astronomical and shows no sign of slowing down. Intelligent and experienced people rush into matrimony with the loftiest expectations only to file for a divorce less than a year after pronouncing vows of fidelity. I know of one lovely young couple that seemed to have everything going for them: sh

If you are considering Alte ative Medicine, then you may have been dissatisfied with the treatments or protocols that you have used before. • Maybe you question a diagnosis or treatment. • Maybe nobody knows what is causing your discomfort and you are looking for answers. • Possibly you have been sent off with either a “life” or “death sentence” by a traditional practitioner, and you now choose a different path. • Maybe you are on a quest for a modality or wholistic practitioner to provide a better “fit” for your needs.

When you are planning to buy a greenhouse, you must also plan for its accessories.

Do you ever suffer from low self esteem? The Oxford English Dictionary defines “self esteem” as confidence in you own worth or abilities. So let me ask the same question a different way - do you ever doubt yourself or question your abilities? Because, if you do ever question your own value or capabilities, who is questioning whom? Who is doubting your self worth? And who or what is the self? Are you somehow a split personality? Let’s get something straight right here, right now. No one can suffer from low self esteem – they can only imagine that they’re suffering. The co
When you wake up in the morning do you feel like you are ready to start the day as who you are or do you see one moment the same as the next, the same as yesterday? It is important in life to remember that all is changing constantly, including yourself. It is easy to forget and to accept ourselves as just the person we’ve already decided we are. Not letting go every day of not only how we see ourselves but the day as well, can keep us in a state of repetitive stagnation. We are never the same as we were yesterday.
