ARTArticleAn Insight Into The Dynamics Of Chakra HealingChakra is a Sanskrit word that means “wheel”. It is thus the wheel on which the axis of life stays. It is the centre of vital forces and energy flows from these points and helps in regulating the thoughts and streamlining the ideas and movements. As per beliefs and studies, there are seven different chakras in our body and all of them are vital energy sources. If you can have a sound and thorough understanding of the chakras and their effects, you can heal your body and channelize positive flow of energy. Root Chakra ARTArticleAre Past Life Memories Always Accurate?Past life memories are not always totally accurate. Sometimes it is quite clear that a recalled description is inappropriate for the particular time and place being described. Other times, there may be obvious inconsistencies. This in no way negates the validity of these memories. Nor does it make all that is recalled untrue. There are several reasons why some of the past life memories may be inaccurate. First, the accuracy of the recalled memories is dependent on the level of trance achieved and the degree to which the client is immersed in the past life.ARTArticleBe Happy And Feel Blessed“The most important thing is to enjoy your life- to be happy- it’s all that matters”rn-Audrey Hepbu Happiness is one of those virtues that eliminate negative energy from your body and mind. Too often, people end up spending their lives in regrets because they fail to enjoy the small and big moments of life. In order to live your life to the fullest, you should seek happiness in the little things of life. Happiness Spreads Positive Vibes ARTArticleBe In Integrity: It’s about Being Honest with YourselfHave you ever tucked a hotel towel in your suitcase? Tut, tut! It’s not an uncommon act. Regularly, we hear reports of millions of dollars worth of company property stolen by employees. Little violations happen very day like disappearing packages of paper, boxes of paper clips, file folders, and the occasional stapler and hole punch. Then there are the major breaches of public trust. Sherron Watkins was applauded on the cover of Time for whistle-blowing Enron’s big scam.ARTArticleBeing Hypnotized By "Mentalist" The Amazing KreskinThe summer of 1977 I went to Chautauqua, New York to study opera and I was fortunate to find a retired high school teacher who gave me French lessons. I recall that even then I was starting to ask questions because when Miss Lawson would coach me I would say, "This feels so familiar. French feels so natural to me. Why is French so natural to me?ARTArticleBite of the AppleSchizo-affective disorder is a hard disease to tackle when societal pressures seem to dominate your routine, yet the sheer process of overcoming the stigma of this disease is complicated but workable.r ARTArticleBlessingsHow often do you stop and count your blessings? Once a day? Once a month? Never? We need to be aware of how much we have to be thankful for. Can you stand up every morning without pain? What a blessing! Do you have two legs to stand on? Do you have a roof over your head and food in your refrigerator? Do you have a refrigerator? Look at all of your blessings! Do you have people in your life who love you? Do you appreciate how special that is? I recently met a woman who lost her husband of 25 years very unexpectedly on Christmas Day.ARTArticleBook Summary - Activating Your Ambition: A Guide to Coaching the Best Out of Yourself and OthersIt has long been said that you can do anything you put your mind to. Yet, in this ground breaking book, Mike Hawkins reveals the flaw in this traditional thinking. While believing you can do something is critical, it is insufficient on its own. Based on over twenty-five years of practical experience in executive coaching, leading people, consulting, selling, and now as a coach to coaches, Mike Hawkins explains what it truly takes to influence people, change behavior, and achieve sustainable results.ARTArticleBoost The Effect Of Your Yoga Session By Adopting The Yogic Food SystemWhen I was trying to shed a few pounds, my trainer had told me about a golden rule that had helped most of his clients lose weight faster and in a healthier way- Diet makes up for 70% while exercise makes up the other 30. What goes in through our mouth is extremely important not just to lose or gain weight but to also maintain a healthy lifestyle and for longevity. I am an avid yoga practitioner and given the craze for yoga in the past few decades, I used to often wonder whether yoga is only about asana. Is there no special diet that yogics advocate?ARTArticleBurning the Fat: Aerobics and Your BodyThere are many great things about starting an aerobics program for your body. One of the greatest things about aerobics is that you can use it to burn fat in ways that are easier on your body than dieting. It is very simple to burn fat using aerobics as exercise, because there are many ways that you can train your body to do the work that it is supposed to in order to really get the most out of the aerobics that you are doing. While you are building up a sweat and working on your heart rate, all of your muscles are also getting great things out of the aerobics work that you are doing.ARTArticleBuying a Home Overseas Practical?For those of us that have been lucky enough to travel to Europe, Asia or Australia from North America, we have seen some of the most beautiful land on Earth. The people, the sights and especially the food make international travel one of the most exotic and special things you can do. But what about making that trip to another country permanent? If you can afford a second home and the thought of spending your summers in the Hamptons isn’t doing it for you, what about buying a little place in Italy? Or Ireland?ARTArticleCan I Really Make Money at My Life Purpose?"Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things" Dennis Diderot I have gotten the question lately "Can I really make money at my life purpose--my passion?" And my answer is YES! I remember hearing about a study that compared people who followed a career path to strictly make money vs. people who followed their passion.ARTArticleCapture Your MemoriesCapture Your Memoriesr Sherry Joiner –Living A Life With Schizo-Affective Disorder - Lecturer in the Psyche Ward and In Our Own Voice Speaker for NAMIr ARTArticleCelestial Fields Of ParadiseThe roads are many to the celestial fields of paradise where and bliss dwell. All souls make this long journey, meeting the grand foe of fear who diverts their attention here and there knowing that it can only delay the journey every soul is destined to complete. All travel the road of mediocrity; some for days or months; others for years or lifetimes. The detours of this road are many; each mile leading to thicker more obscure roads which further alienate the self from the self. This road leads to no destination. It only wears down the body and soul.ARTArticleChildren of InsanityI have been looking at a book by Claudia Black, “My Dad Loves Me, My Dad Has A Disease” (A Child’s View: Living With Addiction, full of pictures and writing by children), and remembering the children of addiction, and the mentally ill. I have seen five-year-olds acting like little adults, some even saving their parents from death by overdose and other calamities. I have seen children acting out to be the cry for help for the family. I have worked with children who have learned to dissociate, check out of their bodies and minds to escape the pain.ARTArticleClassroom Management and Group Discipline Resource Ideas for SchoolsThe top question we get at Live Expert Help at our web site (http://www.youthchg.com) is "How do I get kids torn behave?" Often, that teacher or counselor is looking for new discipline methods that will better engender appropriate behavior in their setting. Often, that teacher or counselor does not like our answer. Our answer is that discipline and consequences are often ineffective. Yes, every school or agency needs both, but alone, they don't work. Alone?ARTArticleClassroom Management Quiz: What Do You Know About Controlling Out of Control Students?The top question we get at our busy Live Expert Help area of our web site (http://www.youthchg.com) where we answer youth professionals' queries on almost any topic, is "How do I get kids-- especially hard-to-manage ones-- to behave?" Teachers and other educators are especially troubled that their training has not even begun to prepare them to manage the severe misbehavior that they see more and more every year. But, we hear from youth professionals and para-professionals from all disciplines, that their training has not "kept up" with the changes in the kids.ARTArticleClear Thinking- Are You Doing It Wrong?‘Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence’ - Thomas Szasz When was the last time you were reading a book and after finishing a page had absolutely no idea what you were reading about? Since we juggle so much in today’s lifestyle, multitasking our way through each day, that our ability to concentrate and hence think clearly has drastically reduced.ARTArticleCodependency: The DanceThe "dance" of codependency requires two people: the pleaser/fixer and the taker/controller. This inherently dysfunctional dance can only happen with one partner who is a codependent and another partner who is a narcissist (abuser or addict). Codependents do not know how to emotionally disconnect or avoid significant relationships with individuals who are selfish, controlling, and harmful to them. They find partners who are experienced with their dance style: a dance that begins as thrilling and exciting, but ends up rife with drama, conflict, and feelings of being trapped.ARTArticleCouple Communication: Back to Basics To Improve Your Relationship and Restore HappinessOne of the most important tools to develop or restore communication skills is the use of “I” messages.

With this simple change in how you communicate with your loved one, you are more likely to actually accomplish your communication goal.ARTArticleCouple Communication: Overcoming Roadblocks to Communication to Maintain or Regain Your Marital HappinessMost people want to have a loving, committed, happy marriage. And they think they know what will make for that happy marriage. Some of the characteristics often identified as making up a stable and loving relationship include: trust, love, respect, honesty, and faithfulness, among other attributes. Many people have the oversimplified desire to “just be happy” in their marriage, like happiness in a relationship is some simple, ordinary thing that each person is “naturally” entitled to.ARTArticleDeclaring a Truce at the Holiday Dinner TableWith the holidays fast approaching, our emotions seem to jump all over the place. We’re excited, anxious, stressed, because there’s so much to plan, and we want the holidays to be perfect. Yet, the thought of the holiday dinner quickly reminds us of past events that have been anything but loving and peaceful. Most families have some kind of history of arguments that seem to erupt at the yearly holiday dinner table.ARTArticleDo You Have to Figure it All Out Before You DO?Dear Anne: I feel really stuck. I'm really afraid if I make a move in my business, I'll make the wrong move and it will cost me time and money. So I don't do anything! But this doesn't work either, because well, I'm not doing anything! I want a straight and clear path that I can take to build my business. Help! Dear Divine One - If only. I hate to break the news to you, but there are no straight lines to building your business. (sorry)ARTArticleDoing Something Right OnceSuccessful people know that doing something right once which produces multiple results is the way to increase productivity and income. This is apparent with information marketers who create a course once and then resell it over and over again or network marketers who build a downline and that downline earns them residual income. This is a great example of how doing something once right can pay immense dividends.ARTArticleDomestic Violence Is Not Just About Physcial AbuseOver the course of my career, I have helped many clients pursue a sense of personal power and emotional health sufficient enough to be safe, strong, and healthy while working through relationships with aggressive and/or abusive partners.ARTArticleEssential Definitions for People Trying to Gain Assertiveness SkillsAlthough most people have some pretty clear-cut notions about what assertiveness is and isn't, assertiveness is often confused with aggression. Assertiveness is not necessarily about having your will prevail over the will of others. That is actually more descriptive of aggression. Especially when there is little regard to the rights or feelings of others. Instead, assertiveness is simply about being able to stand up for your own rights without trampling on the rights of others.ARTArticleExperiencing The Goodness of GodWho is God? Some might reply the 'Maker' others the 'Judge' and so on. We seem to have these ways of speaking of God in incomplete and partial truths that leaves one wondering what the true nature of God really is. On one occasio Jesus was called good and his startling reply was, 'why do you call me good, there is only one good'. What a profound statement. Consider the source if you will. Only one good, the Heavenly Father, as Jesus revealed might cause some to question. In our culture we often speak of someone who has shown goodness to us through some act or gift given.ARTArticleExploring The Ideals Of Mindful MeditationOne of the principle teachings of Buddha is the noble eight fold path that can help person reach enlightenment. Mindfulness (Sati in Pali) is one of the aspects of the path (“Right Mindfulness”). It is also one of the seven factors of enlightenment.

These comments only illustrate the destructive nature of the family dynamics of addiction. The addicted and non-addicted spouses get locked into mortal combat over the addiction, even when they have not identified the problem as "addiction". Of course the non-addicted spouse is angry. S/he is picking up all the slack caused by the addict's abdication of responsibility.
