ARTArticleCollective Co-Creating: Spiritual Calling or Cop-Out?Do you ever feel like what you want, or what you are struggling with, is well, not really worthy or important or spiritual enough? This morning I was thinking about the advanced state of awareness that manifesting your dreams truly requires. It is not merely about wanting more, better, bigger “stuff.” It demands, at a minimum, that we take notice of, and responsibility for our thoughts, feelings and actions as we recognize they are creating our vibration and thus, a matching reality.ARTArticleConnecting with OnenessWhat does the concept of Oneness really mean? Oneness describes that we are all a part of the same source and that at the soul level; we are the same energetic being. Oneness goes beyond physicality and represents a connection to every living being in the Universe. Therefore every thought, every experience, is felt by all, even if only like a small breeze. Oneness means that everyone has, or will be, everything and in this space there is no place for judgment, since what you are judging in another, you too have been.ARTArticleCONTROLLING OUR IRRATIONAL IDEASHow and what we think about has a profound effect on our physical and emotional health. Almost every minute of our waking life we are engaged in self-talk, an internal dialogue through which we describe and interpret our world to ourselves. This dialogue can be a litany of self-doubt and self-criticism, such as “I know I’ll say the wrong thing,” “People will think I’m stupid,” “I think I’m going to fall apart,” or, it can be positive messages such as “Things will work out,” “Whatever happens I can handle it,” and “I’m competent to cope with life.”r ARTArticleCraving StillnessI am a person who requires quiet time and solitude to re-energize. I do this in meditation, I do this at silent retreats and I do this by taking time to read or just be quiet at home. I didn’t learn this about myself until my mid-40’s. Before then I couldn’t understand why I seemed so exhausted or depressed after feeling so great. I would go through spurts of energy; visiting with friends, networking for my business, spending time with my kids only to crash and burn after a while and ultimately isolate.ARTArticleCreating AbundanceDeepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey created a 21-Day Meditation Challenge called Creating Abundance, a hot topic in our world of get more, have more, do more. While I am clear that this meditation challenge serves to teach us not about the collection of stuff but rather enlighten us on the power of pure consciousness in manifesting the unlimited worldly and spiritual resources available to us, I am sure there are many who completed the challenge with the expectation that they would immediately get more stuff, have more money and do more cool things.ARTArticleDemonizingDemonizing is a coping mechanism that we employ to painlessly process our fears. It is the act of projecting onto a person, situation or environment-separation. Any time we speak negatively of another person, situation or environment, we are claiming that this seemingly separate experience is causing us harm. The most common form of demonizing is pure negative focus, or the failure to see universal perspective. To claim that someone has hurt you or has done you harm is to deny the universal principles of love, oneness and attraction.ARTArticleDeservingOne of the most difficult layers for us to resolve is the one related to self-love. What is self-love? It is the ability to view who you are with unconditional compassion and acceptance. I’ve mentioned this before, and it is worth mentioning this again: anytime we are trying to “fix” something about ourselves, whether it’s through self-help, plastic surgery, or more education, training-whatever, we have to be very clear about the intention of our actions. We must ask ourselves is our behavior based out of resistance to who we are, or out of the necessity to embrace who we are?ARTArticleDeveloping Your Intuitive SkillsA great tool to help you with your journey towards tapping into your intuitive self is to keep a Psychic journal. Keep it with you, so you can jot notes down as they come up. Write down any strange coincidences. Do you keep running into the same person? Do you see someone that you just thought of even though you haven seen him or her for a long time? Have you heard the same song over and over again from different sources? Has a friend of your just said something that you know in your Soul is "true"? Are you continuously seeing the same number, color, animal or anything at all?ARTArticleDevotionWe are living in the new. What this means is that the universal principles in which we operate in are becoming self-evident. In addition, we are dealing with a very prominent sense of urgency. To tie these facts together, we are getting the opportunity to impact all of life, at a level that was never before known to us this deeply. We are no longer just aware or our purpose, but rather drawn so potently into it’s knowing that we cannot ignore it.ARTArticleDo our bones hold the memory of Reinca ation?Spirit comes to me in my dreams. Every night we go to the center of the Cosmos right within our own self. We go back to our Source to be healed and receive guidance. Eighty per cent of our dreams are compensatory, they help to analyze and solve the problems of the day. Sometimes they show us the future or the past. Déjà vu may be the reality that we go in our dreamtime to the place, circumstance or words that we will encounter the next day. I know when dreams are Spiritual, they are screaming symbology. I also know that some distorted dreams are from eating too much Pizza!ARTArticleEasiest Meditation Technique for Enlightenment"The mind is simply the action of identifying with thoughts. Thoughts arise and you take on the thoughts as your identity. You place all importance on them. The thought arises,rn'this is not the way it is supposed to be' and you claim ownership of that thought. You take that thought to be about you and that defines your world. That becomes your reality and you suffer the stress of it. Life itself is very pleasurable. There is unfathomable joy in life. The simple tasks of walking, sleeping, eating, working, playing all flood you with endorphinsr ARTArticleEmotional Healing: How to Overcome Obstacles and Feel Better More of the TimeWhen you look at your emotions, you may notice that your feelings are most often created by your thoughts. You might notice that your emotions are often habit patterns – especially old, old patterns that have, in a way, been ruling you. Notice this also: that the feelings that are obstacles are most often victim feelings - fears, worries, self-doubts, - feelings that something will overpower you in some way.ARTArticleEnergy Report for July 2010Energy Report for July 2010rnby Kate A Spreckley After the powerful planetary alignments of June the beginning of July finds us at a crossroad. The alignments of last month created a tremendous force for change with the climax occurring with the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 26th June. The energy created an opportunity for us to begin recognising where our life is out of balance and the chance to begin reforming and restructuring our ways of living.ARTArticleEnlightenment: In Silence the Truth Makes Itself Known"You often hear about meditation being something to do with a set of beliefs or traditions. As though you have to believe in a higher power or something of that nature in order to meditate. And nothing could be farther from the truth. Meditation is the honest investigation into what is here in this moment. And if you look inwardly into this moment, you see the heart beating, the breath moving in and out, thoughts happening. And if you keep looking you get to something that you cannot define.ARTArticleEXPECTATIONA funny thing happened on the way to enlightenment. I used to think of enlightenment as a destination -- and anticipated an arrival. I soon discovered there was no such thing as arrival, just continuous forward movement on the path too….wait, I then discovered there was not even a “too” only continuous forward movement. Such a delight to no longer have to be conce ed about an arrival. This has enabled me to focus more on continuous movement forward and enjoyment of the expression of each now moment as it presents itself--lessons and all!ARTArticleFeel - Think - ActRecently, I was interviewed for Awaken Radio. We talked about many things, including how to receive messages from your angels, and how you work with the four spiritual gifts of Intuition, Vision, Prophecy and Feeling. But, when I mentioned in passing about Feel - Think - Act; the host stopped in her tracks. "That is so important; you need to repeat that, Melissa," she said. The Feel - Think - Act process is still something that is greatly misunderstood today, so this inspired me to share more about it with all of you today.ARTArticleFinding Daily CommunionI want to write about something so important today. What do we do when life looses it’s magic? How do we move forward into the beauty within and before us every single day? How do we stop our obligations, other people’s judgements and difficult circumstances from taking away the beauty in our life?ARTArticleFinding Light and Hope in TransitionFrom the moment we are born into this world, we are in the process of what I’ll call “transition.” Transition in life is constant; and it guarantees that we will always be transforming throughout our lives — even in death. Remember that energy never dies — it transforms; this is how we as human beings “transition.” We change from one form to another…sometimes in more subtle ways with regard to personality, and in physical forms through growth and even weight loss.ARTArticleFive Virtues of LoveWho really and truly can say they understand love except him that is love. However there are mistakes that we all make in love. Several of these often rise to the surface leaving us asking ourselves how we got there in the first place.ARTArticleGoals is Not a Dirty Word!Mention the word "goals" around a lot of people and they will immediately hide their heads or look the other way! There's something about the word that feels like pressure. Perhaps it's because when we were growing up parents and teachers told us the goals they thought we should have, rather than giving us a chance to get in touch with our own desires. In this way, goals become something that others tell us to do, rather than fun and inspiring. Goals were too serious. Goals were only for grown-ups.ARTArticleGod’s Word Has Rhythm: Two Fun Bible Memory Verse Activities for Your PreschoolersI don’t know about you, but I love putting Bible verses to music and sometimes I like putting a Scripture to a catchy rhythm. I think Psalm 33:4 lends itself nicely to a good strong drumbeat. In fact, when I read this verse I pictured my little ones “drumming” on their knees with their hands while putting this verse to memory. Here is the rhythmic verse I came up with: For the <u>word</u> of the <u>Lord</u> is <u>right</u> and <u>true</u> He is <u>faith</u> ful in <u>all</u> He <u>does</u> Pa <u>rum</u> pum pumr Pa <u>rum</u> pum pumr Pa <u>rum</u> pum <U>pum</u> pum<U> pum</u>ARTArticleGossipWhen we directly or indirectly participate in negative talk about others or gossip, we are not a match to divine love. Our choice to listen to, indulge, participate in, spread or instigate gossip or negative talk of any kind directed towards others causes an absolute breakdown of our electromagnetic field and our soul energy. It is absolutely the most destructive energy in the face of the divine.ARTArticleGROUNDINGWhat is grounding and why is it so important? Sometimes people have a tendency to live in the clouds, most especially those whose awareness is connected to Spirit. Part of our learning experience is to figure out how to balance between ‘living in the stars’ and keeping our ‘feet on the ground.’ Life is filled with dualities, good & bad, hot & cold, wet & dry and learning to balance between our Spiritual as well as our physical natures at the same time is no exception.ARTArticleGuided Meditation"Let yourself relax into this moment. Give up trying to make this moment any different than it is. Simply close your eyes and feel with sensation what is here. Allow yourself to feel existence happening without thinking about it. We're not here to change anything or transcend anything. Just to feel life itself. To experience what is here beyond the thinking. Any attempt to define itrnor describe itrnor judge itrnseparates you from what is here. Give all of it up. Give yourself completely to what is here. Allow thoughts to arise ARTArticleHeal yourself through ForgivenessHave you been stuck in a dead-end job or relationship and cannot seem to move forward in your professional or personal life? Nine times out of ten, you are holding onto old emotional wounds that are preventing you from making wise decisions about your life and the direction you need to take to create a more rewarding, purpose-filled life. If we refuse to heal ourselves, how can we begin to help heal those around us and the environment in which we live?ARTArticleHealer vs Fixer: Which are You?Christmas 2014 was a huge wake-up call on many levels. My husband, Kumara, woke me at 3am with chest pains. This was not his first heart attack so we knew to take it seriously and move quickly. While my sister drove us to the ER (quicker than waiting for an ambulance) I applied Reiki from the backseat. It was so packed that we had to wait about 20 minutes in the ER waiting room while he is having a heart attack, so we gave more Reiki, which helped us all enormously stay calm and ease his chest pain significantly… and I will share more on how Reiki helped in a future article.ARTArticleHigher Mind Part II: How to Access your Command CenterIn my previous article I introduced the topic of Higher Mind as the gateway to higher consciousness and Universal Mind, and distinct from the analytical, logical and rational part of our mind. Higher Mind is the space I receive much of my intuition and direct knowing with clients and even animals.ARTArticleHigher Mind Part III: How to Access your Higher MindIn my previous article in this series, I shared how to access the Center of Your Head, which is your command center and stepping off point to your Higher Mind. I first learned of this space from my spiritual teacher Ma Jaya. Initially I sought her out to seek guidance about how to do AIDS work without burning out. She pointed to a large photo of the great Indian avatar Swami Nityananda, and said I will teach you to enter the Chidakasha, the Heart Space in the Head, so you can work with compassionate detachment.ARTArticleHitting the Right NotesWhen asked his favorite instrument, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart responded, “the human voice.” Perhaps Mozart considered the voice as God’s authentic expression, while manmade instruments, although artfully played, provided simply a conduit through which true music traveled. When we think about the complexity of singing – either on the level of a Mozart opera or in the shower – we notice the elements involved.ARTArticleHoning in on Your Listening Skills through MeditationEmotions running rampant and can’t quite get a grasp on which direction to take in life? Ready to magnify your inner voice? Try this on for size – mind-body medicine! Unlike conventional medicine, mind-body techniques like meditation can add powerful substance to healing our emotions and to enhancing our mental state of awareness.
