ARTArticleLove What's RealBecause this practice could seem so abstract or so obvious that it’s not worth doing, I am going to take longer than usual to explain why it’s so important.ARTArticleLove Your NeighborThis practice might sound extreme or pushy, and I want to tell you what I mean by it.ARTArticleMinimize Painful ExperiencesPainful experiences range from subtle discomfort to extreme anguish - and there is a place for them. Sorrow can open the heart, anger can highlight injustices, fear can alert you to real threats, and remorse can help you take the high road next time.ARTArticleNLP and Intuitive Coaching Tips to Filter Intuitions and DreamsSome people seem to have a propensity for intuiting impending danger, including catastrophes like the events of September 11, 2001. I can hardly imagine the weight of not knowing whether these types of intense perceptions are real? When we sense or dream that something is wrong with family members or friends, we have the option of alerting them, and checking things out.ARTArticleOn Boxes and Holes"The first thing to do, when you find yourself in a hole, is to stop digging," quipped one of our most beloved figures from the past, Will Rogers. Our current nearest, less humorous, equivalent is to, "Think outside of the box." Just as people have a hard time understanding how they can, "think outside of the box," (because they don't understand that their Belief Systems are, "the box"), when in a hole, they can't figure out how to "stop digging," (because it is their habitual ways of functioning in the world, based on various Beliefs, that causes them to, "keep digging.").ARTArticlePOWER TRAITSPOWER TRAITS There is power in the money and the political class. In this article we travel to that part hidden and unspeakable of power that is part of power and that largely determines its performance. 1 –A MALE ROLE There are people who by birth are destined to be in the power, others will have their opportunity to access to it in a society like the modern where the status is not predetermined and can ascend and descend on the social scale ... It is not difficult to see that the "role" of power is masculine. Yesterday a generation ofrARTArticleReceive GenerosityLife gives to each one of us in so many ways. For starters, there’s the bounty of the senses – including chocolate chip cookies, jasmine, sunsets, wind singing through pine trees, and just getting your back scratched. What does life give you? Consider the kindness of friends and family, made more tangible during a holiday season, but of course, continuing throughout the year.ARTArticleRecognize Suffering in OthersWe’re usually aware of our own suffering, which – broadly defined – includes the whole range of physical and mental discomfort, from mild headache or anxiety to the agony of bone cancer or the anguish of losing a child. (Certainly, there is more to life than suffering, including great joy and fulfillment; that said, we’ll sustain a single focus here.)ARTArticleRehab Guide - Online and DVD Treatment - NEW Trend In RecoveryDetermining the right time for drug and alcohol treatment is different for each person. Some individuals will go and get help as soon as they feel like they're developing a problem. Others seek treatment when they feel they're becoming dependent on drugs or alcohol to cope with life. Still, others will have to hit rock bottom before they become willing to get help. Many people fall somewhere in the middle. The problem with addictions is every one is different. Each person has their own set of circumstances that's unique to them, and that makes it difficult to judge their situation.ARTArticleRelaxation, Stress Release and living in the MomentI recently rejoined the Pacific Tai Chi Society. I realized after much prompting from my body (and my mind!) that I needed to get more physical exercise as part of my stress release and relaxation program. When I was an active member several years ago, I had just come out of a messy relationship so my mind was fraught with noisy self accusations and useless innuendos. I had not learned how to manage my mind very well back then, not that I am perfect at it now, so the noise was alost unbearable.ARTArticleSAFETY DISTANCESAFETY DISTANCE When a stranger comes to us or the syndrome of the elevator THE ELEVATOR One day we go into an elevator with other people who we do not know. The limited space forces us to tolerate the physical contact and we are uncomfortable. A person turns to avoid a face to face, another does not want to expose the strange his lower body, a third apparently felt a sudden curiosity to the roof of the little drawer and that was in the middle in a “I stay, I’m leaving”. Nobody looks directly anyone ... All have the unpleasant sensation of feeling violated our security space.rARTArticleSay ThanksWhat do you feel when someone thanks you for something? For a comment in a meeting, a task done at home, an extra step taken, an encouraging word.ARTArticleSearch for a Birth Family in Vietnam Begins with an Amazing StoryI am a mother of two wonderful young adults, my natural born son and my daughter, who was adopted fifteen years ago from Kien Giang province in Vietnam. I write as a mother in search of information and connections specifically to families with children from Kien Giang, and as a professional sharing amazing stories about the power of thought, intention, and intuition, because I have another remarkable tale to tell.ARTArticleSee ProgressThere are always things that are getting worse. For example, over the past year, you probably know someone who has become unemployed or ill or both, and there’s more carbon in the atmosphere inexorably heating up the planet.ARTArticleSee the Big PictureI once went to the movies when it was raining and brought my umbrella. Arriving early, I sat down on a bench to read, then headed to the theater. Suddenly I heard, “Uh, mister!” – and turned to see a teenage boy with a friendly smile running toward me with my umbrella. He didn’t know me but went out of his way to help a stranger.ARTArticleSee the Good in OthersMany interactions these days have a kind of bumper-car quality to them. At work, at home, on the telephone, via email: we sort of bounce off of each other while we exchange information, smile or frown, and move on. How often do we actually take the extra few seconds to get a sense of what's inside other people - especially their good qualities?ARTArticleShould You Worry about GoogleTo many people the obvious and unequivocal answer would be yes, big brother Google is watching you. Often questions like this arise because of the size and influence of an a organization, not because there is actually any threat from it.ARTArticleSHYNESS AND LURESSHYNESS AND LURES Lure is a word often used in hunting and fishing; it refers tornanything that attracts "with some fallacy" . It happens that the timid move in a world of lures or signals that trigger his social anxiety. The social fear is neither continuous, nor appears in all circumstances. But ... when it appears? What are the lures? Here we will see the seven most common lures. HOW WELL I FEEL AMONG MY PEOPLE! Being of modern man in society leads to feelings of confidence and happiness. --- "I feel good. My people around me and protect me. Nothing bad will happen to me. "rARTArticleSigns Of Alcoholism In Men - 5 Times More LikelyIt is estimated that about three-quarters of the population drink alcohol. Of this number, about 10% will find that their alcohol consumption leads to serious problems involving their health, work, finances, and relationships with family and friends. When a person uses alcohol despite apparent harm to their health and well-being, it is called alcohol abuse (or dependence), or alcoholism. Men are five times more likely than women to develop alcoholism. However, the incidence of alcoholism among women has increased in the past 30 years. Causes of Alcoholism In MenARTArticleSmall Business Growth“It’s all about what they don’t say than what they do.” Business is a tough game, piled high with challenges, obstacles, problems and, of course, reward, that usually comes when you’re ready to give up. Owner-managers and founding directors face major dilemmas throughout both the start-up and growth phases of their businesses, such as how to write an effective business plan that allows finance to be raised; how to make a strategy that drives business growth; how to manage business’s finances effectively, so that over years to construct a business that grows, not that survives.ARTArticleSpeak From The HeartOne Christmas I hiked down into the Grand Canyon, whose bottom lay a vertical mile below the rim. Its walls were layered like a cake, and a foot-high stripe of red or gray rock indicated million-plus years of erosion by the Colorado River. Think of water - so soft and gentle - gradually carving through the hardest stone to reveal great beauty. Sometimes what seems weakest is actually the most powerful.ARTArticleSpeak TrulyIt's been said that the most powerful tool for physical health is a fork (or spoon), since the choices you make with it determine the good or bad things you put into your body.ARTArticleStand Up to BulliesHumans are profoundly social. Woven through the tapestry of our relationships are several major threads. One of these is power. The only question is, do we use it for good or ill? The abuse of power can be called many things, including intimidation, fraud, discrimination, and tyranny. I’ll use a term that’s down-to-earth: bullying.ARTArticleStanding At The Crossroads: Trying to Quit Using DrugsPeople do not easily come to the conclusion that they have an alcohol or other drug problem. The telltale signs have been there quite some time. Addiction carries with it its own camouflage devices. It can look like a lot of other illnesses from the perspective of an outsider looking in. From the perspective of an alcoholic/addict the telltale signs can be chalked up to a million other problems or causes.ARTArticleStay Right When You're WrongedIt’s easy to treat people well when they treat you well. The real test is when they treat you badly. (Much of what I say here applies to conce s about injustice or mistreatment that threatens or happens to others, from someone bullying a child to an oppressive government, but I will focus on the personal level.) Think of times you’ve been truly wronged, in small ways or big ones. Maybe someone stole something, turned others against you, broke an agreement, cheated on you, or spoke unfairly or abusively.ARTArticleSUPEREGO AND DIVERSITYSUPEREGO AND DIVERSITY Sigmund Freud discovered the superego as a psychological structure juxtaposed to the ego, but at the same time faced this. The father of psychoanalysis died in 1939. It's been 70 years. At this point there are who ask: "About the superego ... what is fantasy and what is reality ...?" The superego certainly exists and we can reach it using our capacity of introversion. 1-THE SELF With few exceptions, all have clear awareness of what is the ego, ie, just what we call in our everyday language when we say: "I think, I am ..." 2-THE SUPEREGOrARTArticleTake HeartIt takes heart to live in even ordinary times. By “taking heart,” I mean several related things:ARTArticleTell the Truth, Play FairPerhaps like you, I’ve been worrying lately about what it will take for all of us to live together in peace. I remember what I’ve heard many teachers say to their students: Tell the truth. Play fair.ARTArticleThe Art of Letting GoThe Art of Letting Go People often find themselves irritated, operating at their max capacity, or weighed down. Perhaps some feel as if they are gripping on tightly to certain aspects in their life and cannot let go, or simply feeling sad. Many individuals can identify the feeling, but have no idea where the root of the feeling resides. Finding the root of the issue and healing the unpleasant sensations it causes can be accomplished with more ease by learning to let go.ARTArticleThe Dohgon 22.5 degree Test for ADHDADHD is attention deficit hyper disorder. It affects children. ADD is the adult label of conditions that impair people from the self-inner control that shows the maturity for stability. People with these conditions can be very unstable, but the instability varies in degrees of severity. In order to be very precise in assessing the nature of any condition affecting a person suffering from any type of mental problem, the most important thing for the individual administering the assessment is to demonstrate an understanding of what the mind is.
