Imagine someone brings you a big, juicy lime. That person cuts into it, and the lime juice squirts onto you.

Just thinking about limes triggers a wire in your brain that tells your tongue to prepare for the lime by producing the saliva that is needed to break down the powerful acids. Our emotional brain wiring works in the same way.ARTArticleWriting the Best Positive AffirmationsWhen you start working on your own positive affirmations, you may become inundated with information.

Everything is saturated even the colors, taken to deeper hues by the gray overcast. You feel gently hugged and cocooned by the close in day. My task: to make zucchini mounds, these look like miniature volcanoes erupting in my garden beds, in which to plant my four little treasures. I prepared each mount with a bag full of sheep manure, a few shovels of compost full of wriggling worms and some of the soil out of the bed wherer ARTArticle10 Steps to Becoming A Great Public Speaker10 Steps to Becoming A Great Public Speaker ISBN 978-0-0-986-5572-2-4 Methotology Press, 2011 A Free Multimedia onscreen eBook by Phil L.

Like most people - PANIC!!!ARTArticle10 Things to Do to Produce a Winning Nonfiction Book ProposalI've looked at two book proposals recently for aspiring authors with agents eagerly awaiting their submissions. The writers came to me for what they considered a "cursory review" because they felt their proposals just needed a "finishing touch," another set of eyes to glance over it before they attached it to an email and hit "send." They were ready and eager to send the proposals on to the agents, who had requested the proposals after a pitch session at a conference. They didn't want to keep the agents waiting.ARTArticle12/22/12 Opening the Door to the futureEveryone has been talking about the coming date of 12/22/2012. Some people think it is the End of the World; some expect major catastrophes to happen immediately when the calendar date arrives. Spiritually, the date is of great importance. On this particular day the Winter Solstice having just occured, the sun will rise in the center of the Milky Way galaxyfor the first time in 26,000 years. The Maya have chosen to end their long count calendar on this date but this does not suggest that they expected the world to end on that date.ARTArticle5 Unique Tips for Singles to Stay Afloat in the Sea of LoveWhether you are single, involved, or somewhere in-between, your love life has no doubt caused you to experience a whole gamut of emotions.

Most of us are aware of devotional practices, but how many of us actually put any devotion into practical application? Counting myself, I might know of four or five people who have some form of a spiritual discipline. If we profess to love God, then why don’t we make the time and effort, daily, to show that we do care enough to remember Him?r ARTArticleA Survival guide for Men on Valentine's Day!Okay guys, put down the beer can, shut off the TV and pay attention; THIS COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!

If you decide that you want to eat dinner at 5 o’clock, and you do, does that make you a success? Most people would say that no, that doesn’t make you a success. But, they can’t say whether you are success or not. Only you can make that determination. The true definition of success is the personal achievement of goals in order to make you feel successful. And the best way to achieve that success comes from affirmations for success.ARTArticleAltered Dimensions of PerceptionSoul's Code: Everyone is a Gurur Originally writ for Soul’s Code Website in their “Peak Experiences” department titled, “The Bearable Lightness of BEing Roni Lipstein” A little while ago Paul Kaihla, Founder and CEO of Soul’s Code, a fantabulous community of LOVE’s Light, asked if I would honour him with a “Peak Experience” piece, from one whom “walks the talk”. WOW!! Talk about a Peak Experience moment of happiness ? So what is a “Peak Experience” anyways? According to Paul, “Peak Experiences are life-changing moments that become a spiritual touchstone in one’s life.”r ARTArticleAn Experience in FijiAfter a recent divorce, I was definitely at a major turning point, in my young life of thirty years. In early October of 1979, Bruce and I flew fourteen hours to Nandi, Fiji. We had gotten an incredible introductory airfare on Continental airlines for five hundred dollars round trip, with Hawaii included, and good for up to one year. During ’79, Brooke Shields was busy filming The Blue Lagoon in Fiji. She would soon be our neighbor, island-wise. In Nandi airport, the first thing we heard was Bula, Fijian for hello. We’d just stepped off the plane into another world.ARTArticleAnts to GrasshoppersAnts to Grasshoppers ARTArticleAre Aliens Something to Fear?I read that Stephen Hawking, the noted physicist, fears aliens, so much so that he has hinted that we stop looking for them, stop sending out signals to keep our existence a secret, less the aliens discover us and come here to wipe us out. This article will discuss whether this viewpoint has any merit.ARTArticleAre Authors Immortal?After writing my autobiography, I realized that as long as we, human beings, exist on planet earth and have our ever growing and expanding cyberspace, my book Still Singing, Somehow will be out there when I'm long gone and forgotton. My desendents for many generations to come can read about their ancestor who lived through the sixties and survived about everything life can throw at you, to write an inspirational book all about it. So, I ask you; are authors immortal? To view Still Singing, Somehow and learn more about Rob Rideout, go to http://www.stillsingingsomehow.com/ARTArticleAre You Ready For A Spring Cleanse?I’ve just broken a 10 day juice cleanse and my body feels like a million bucks! The orange I ate for “breakfast” was an eagerly anticipated explosion of virgin, citrus flavours and texture; a pleasure beyond description when compared to the simplicity of 10 days consumption of organic apple juice that has been part of my cleansing regimen process.ARTArticleBe the 100th Human to Create World PeaceIt may feel to many of us that we can do little at this point in time to help create peace in the world. However, by just being conscious of our thoughts we might, indeed, be able to move ourselves and the rest of the world just a little bit closer to this goal. We can find peace if we only become conscious of where we place our attention.ARTArticleBeing AloneAs a woman in my mid-thirties, I feel a sense of urgency amongst my single friends. While it was perfectly fine to be single in our twenties, being single in our thirties, seems to be a place that no one really wants to find themselves. I know that I have that little voice that is constantly reminding me that the deeper I get into my thirties, the less likely it is that I will experience. Actually, more than a little voice, it is the voice of my doctor, my mother, and some of my friends!ARTArticleBeing worthyThe one who loves the dhamma lives happily, with his mind at ease. Dhammapada verse :79 At 10.32 on the 10th May 1987, I became a monk, with the name Paññadipa, meaning Island of Wisdom. This, as my teacher told me, was reference to the fact that I come from an island, not because I was wise ! It was a very special time for me, not only because I could surrender completely into the ways of a Buddhist monk, but also becasue I would be even closer to my teacher, perhaps the most important person in my life at that time.r ARTArticleBeware of This Major Spiritual Trap: Bias Destroying Your Future Good Karmic OpportunitiesJohn Edwards, the famous medium, was recently asked in an interview if there are heated arguments about politics and other issues on the "other side." He said he doesn't believe there are, and that on the other side, it's all about unconditional love and respect. We would like to add to his response that, based on our experience and research, since souls on the other side are free of earthly personalities, they are also not biased. Why Souls Are Different From Personalities ARTArticleCats as Spiritual TeachersThe Egyptians believed that cats carry the light of human intelligence. I couldn't agree more! My three felines are like my fur gurus, teaching me to be gentle and loving with them, as I learn their boundries of respect. They seem to live in a spiritual realm, especially when they stare off for great lengths of time, at apparently nothing. Yoga postures were developed from watching cats. They are so relaxed, cool and calculated. It's no surprize we have terms like "cat nap' and "cool cat". Cats have also been rated as the worlds greatest hunters, due to their incredable concentration.
