ARTArticlePositive, Possibility, Power Thinking - How To Integrate It Into Your LifePositive, Possibility, Power Thinking – How to Integrate It Into Your Life By Karl W. Gruber I have long been a disciple of the philosophy of Positive Thinking (beginning, of course, with Dr. Norman Vincent Peale in the early 20th. century), and many other great inspirational thinkers and personalities. I always seem to have my nose in another inspirational, positive attitude promoting book, or my ear tuned to another CD expounding the possibilities that are available to us!ARTArticlePoverty Mentality – Do You Have It?It's unclear where the idea of poverty mentality originated, but one of the earliest motivational speakers to talk about it was Zig Ziglar. Poverty mentality is a mindset about money that develops over time – it is a “poor me” attitude that stems from a deep-seated belief that there is never enough. Persistent thoughts and comments such as "I can't afford this..." and "I'll never have enough money to have that..." may turn out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.ARTArticlePractice Meditation DailyPractice meditation daily for it is a powerful tool and the first step to the conscious awareness of our Divine self. As we reach the place inside of inner peace we access our own Divine wisdom. When we practice meditation daily we focus the mind on the breath. Then we are able to feel our own energy and spirit. The thoughts are no longer in control distracting us from who we truly are, spirit in physical form. Through simple techniques when we practice meditation daily we can learn to get centered and let go of stress, fear, doubt and limiting beliefs.ARTArticlePure Energy as Love or GodI like to think of God as pure energy because we are communicating with the energy around us every second. Einstein even showed us that matter is energy. I accept this responsibility so I have to think, “What kind of energy am I putting back?” This energy I label love so God would be pure love. The belief institutions teach us to rely on the systems and not our own connections to the energy around us so we have to restructure our skills to understand the frequencies and subtle energies of consciousness.ARTArticleRaising ConsciousnessYour guides have agreed to help you live your highest path and life purpose, including your highest consciousness, but because of free will, they cannot help you unless you ask for their assistance.ARTArticleReaching Your PotentialDo you ever wonder what you’re capable of? Have you considered what it means to reach your full potential? Do you even know what your potential is?ARTArticleRemove That Man's IchthusOn my drive home recently I stopped at a traffic light. Two vehicles were idling ahead of me, also waiting for the light to turn green. Immediately in front of me was a mini-van with an ichthus fastened to its back end. What is an ichthus, you ask? Have you ever noticed the outline of a fish fastened on the back of an automobile? That is an ichthus. "Ichthus" means "fish" in Greek. It is a symbol of Christianity that dates back to the first century. Sometimes the outline contains five Greek letters in its body.ARTArticleRender Your Heart / Not Your Garment: What does the Bible Say about This?The intention of this article is to shed some light on a famous passage of scripture. But before I do so, let me first ask two challenging questions: 1. If we were called to see the Queen of England, what would be our attire? Most definitely, If I received an invitation to see someone of such royalty I would make certain to dress for the occasion. 2. What about if we were going to see the President in the white house? In an attempt to put our 'best foot forward', we would have taken out the best suit out of our closets, or maybe even purchase a new one.ARTArticleSacred Geometry: Advanced Energy Management Techniques that Create Strong Boundaries and Activate your Light BodyThis is the final segment in this series which has examined the issue of feeling highly sensitive to other people and their emotions, or to chaotic noisy or low energy environments that can leave you feeling zapped. I wanted to introduce you to some of the advanced technologies that I use and teach that have had profound impacts on my ability to hold my “space” at a much higher level, and not get drained or zapped by what is going on around me.ARTArticleScare the Hell Out of You?"Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation." - Henry Ward Beecher While driving through town a few days ago, I was suprised to see the sign in front of All Peoples Church. So surprised that I went home, grabbed my camera and drove back to take a picture. Not many would be able to drive by the church and miss this big, bold message: "READ THE BIBLE. IT WILL SCARE THE HELL OUT OF YOU" If I wanted, I could call the church and ask them why they posted that sign. I could choose to be offended; I could choose to dismiss it as nothing more than a well-intended play on words.ARTArticleScience vs Spirit?The other day I was surprised to see an article in the Guardian (a liberal mainstream newspaper in the UK) saying that Richard Dawkins was named the ‘world’s top thinker’ in a poll from Prospect magazine. Apparently Prospect listed whom they consider to be the 65 most influential scientists and economists, and asked their readers to vote; they selected Richard Dawkins as #1. What?!ARTArticleSeven Tips for Healing Your WorriesYou’d be surprised how many people worry about being bag ladies or bag men. The image is in their heads as pervasive scenarios. Not very productive thinking, to be sure! Take a look at what worries actually are: They’re negative thoughts projected onto the future. They’re fearful pictures of the worst possible outcomes. Some people feel that they protect themselves by preparing for the worst. But instead, they’re really creating defeated scenarios with their worries. Let’s take a look at what you can do instead. Here are seven alte atives. 1.ARTArticleShamanic Healing: A New Look at an Ancient PracticeShamanic healing is a multi-dimensional experience. It engages the practitioner and participant on every level: emotional, psychological, personal, spiritual, physical, ideological, etc. The essence of healing itself is derived from an understanding of wholeness, and so the implication is that to be healed is to be made whole again. In order to be made whole, one must go on the journey of retrieving or reclaiming something that is missing, something vital that causes an imbalance, affliction or suffering.ARTArticleShamanism As a Path of TransformationTraditionally, shamanic practices are rooted in small communities and tribal societies that lived a primarily pre-mode life. While all shamanic cultures are most likely not expressions of the idyllic state of oneness with nature that is commonly portrayed, it is at least safe to say that shamanic cultures were certainly much more in tune with and nature-based than typical modern society. Shamanistic elements also can be traced back to virtually every religious and spiritual tradition, including the more widely-practiced monotheistic traditions of today.ARTArticleShamanism: A Definition for Modern PractitionersTo be certain, this is a tricky question. And while there are many facets and nuances that will not be addressed here, the following article provides a basic framework for understanding what exactly shamanism is.ARTArticleShhh...your intuition is talking to youHave you ever been in a crowded or loud place and you just want to tune it all out? Or maybe the sheer stress in life has just overwhelmed you so much that you feel like your head is going to explode? Now is not the time to collapse into fear and anxiety mode — now is the time to turn down the volume… reduce the noise pollution in your mind so that you can begin to think clearly and more fluidly.r ARTArticleSigns from the UniverseSigns from the universe come to us in many ways. Another name for this is intuition. Our intuition is the way we access information from God, the universe, or our higher selves. Our intuition is truly the roadmap of our lives. We are all born with this ability. The more we trust and work with our intuition, the clearer the messages become. What does intuition mean? It means insight or perception without reasoning. How many times have you had a gut feeling about something and you find out later you were right?ARTArticleSimple "No Identity" Technique for Self RealizationYou can use this simple self realization technique to very quickly experience yourself as formless consciousness: "The nature of awareness is freedom from identification. If you are aware of anger, then you are not identified with anger. If you are aware of a thought, you are not identified with the thought. The thought arises, the anger arises but it has nothing to do with you. Identification is always happening at an unconscious level. You are walking to work and unconsciously identification is there.rn'My name is Jon, I am a dentist, I am on Main st.ARTArticleSoul KixWe are subject to so many different energies right now, we need to find a way to choose what we want to experience. I have meditated for years as a way to manage my sensitivity to the chaotic world we live in. I would “escape” this world and for a time I would experience a blissful state, much like being in the eye of the storm. This served me well as I could emerge from meditation feeling refreshed and renewed, ready to face the chaos of life once again. This was an old energy survival skill and I am so grateful to have learned to meditate.ARTArticleSpiritual Growth - Finding the GoodThere is a spiritual movement happening; I see it in the media, in social media, in my personal interactions – people are seeking more, they want more peace in their lives. I know some of this shift is happening at a local level because of the people, places and things I am choosing to spend my time with but I also feel that there is a shift, a global vibration of Love, that is ever-present and getting more and more attention. What you focus on grows.ARTArticleStart Saying YesHave you ever had opportunity slap you in the face and every day since you said NO to it, you have kicked yourself? Sometimes, when a door opens, you must accept the challenge and just go with it. When you hesitate at a chance to embark on a new direction, time will quickly pass you by and you will not again have that same opportunity. The same is true if you do not apply yourself in pursuing possibilities for yourself. This means that if you truly want something in your life, you have to GO AFTER IT. In reality, life does not drop things into your lap.ARTArticleStarting an Online Business Through Internet Marketing Services and Website Marketing StrategiesOne advantage of doing business online is that you can start from scratch without investing much money. Here is a 27 Step Action Plan to help you get started... 1. List 5 hobbies, interests or areas of expertise. If you want to start a new business through the help of internet marketing services, you'd better choose a subject that you like and a subject where you can show expertise. You will have more fun and you will be more competitive. 2. Brainstorm a list of keywords and phrases related to those hobbies and interests.ARTArticleSun DanceSundance for Freedom As the sun grows stronger and the days get longer I feel the call of the Sundance Ceremony. Sundance is one of the seven sacred ceremonies given to us to help us live in balance. To not just survive here but to thrive. Every year there are hundreds of Sundance ceremonies scattered all over the US and out side too. You hardly ever hear of them, if you are invited consider your self special. They have been very protected for a long time to keep the ceremony sacred and allow the dancers the privacy to really focus on their prayers.ARTArticleSweat the Small StuffWhen I played hockey, the best referees always set a consistent, high standard of play for each game. They noticed - and called - every infraction, no matter how minor it seemed. Ironically, their strict enforcement of the rules led to an amazing freedom for us as players. A clearly defined set of standards allowed us to focus on the important thing - playing the game to the best of our ability. When referees ignore "small stuff", players quickly test how far they can bend the rules without getting penalized.ARTArticleTaking 100% Responsibility - Peace Begins With YouWe are always waiting for things to resolve, for things to change "outside" of ourselves. In reality, when we are at Peace, everything and everybody does change. Everything and everybody are just our memories. As we experience turmoil, fear and anxiety, we can clean with those memories. We can let them go, knowing they are just memories playing. As you erase memories, they are erased from everyone else. So, again, you find peace of mind when you take 100% responsibility. You know that as you let go of whatever is not you, you can find that peace of being yourself, of knowing better.ARTArticleTen Ways to Maintain Balance in a Chaotic WorldHow do you cope with a world filled with foreclosures, job losses, natural disasters, and social changes? A famous line from the movie “The Karate Kid” says it all: “Balance is key.” Here are ten ways to maintain your sense of balance in a chaotic world. 1) Breathe! When we are stressed we tend to hold our breath. Pay attention to your breathing. Take a moment now to first fill your belly with air and allow it to expand and then fill your chest. Exhale the air from your belly first and then from your chest. Take several more deeps breaths.ARTArticleThe 3 Stages of Mind in Meditation & How to Transcend Them"There are 3 stages of mind in meditation. The first stage is personal. The thoughts are about you, your world, what you've seen, heard, tasted, felt etc. It's experience is one of duality. There is you and everything else. Conflict and control, desire and resistance. Once you lea to witness your thoughts instead of identify with them, you enter into the second stage. In the second stage, the thoughts are no longer about your personal life. It is here you have dreams, visions, and even beyond visions you experience very subtle thoughts, that are bey ARTArticleThe Age of AwarenessMost of us are probably feeling the powerful 2012 shift into the Aquarian age. In order to exist optimally within this confusing and extraordinarily powerful shift we must understand what is happening within us, within the world, and also within the universe. When we are in tune, or able to unify, with the spirit of the times then we are able to encounter higher levels of connectedness, create positive shifts in consciousness and experience a kind of joy and love that brings forth rivers of gratitude from our hearts.ARTArticleThe Astrological Nature of Human Self-GrowthThe World Is As We Are! One of the most significant aspects of life is that our success and happiness in this life is in direct proportion to how happy and successful we are within ourselves. Those who are more well-adjusted, who are the most creative, energetic, dynamic and beaming full of self-confidence; these are those that are the most successful. This theme is so popular and more well-understood today, that such modern day success strategies like the "Secret" and the philosophies of the "Law of Attraction" spring from this universal idea and reality.ARTArticleThe Attitude of GratitudeThe Attitude of Gratitude! The ability to learn to consciously to manifest is one of the exciting things about being here on this earth plane. This planet is a perfect place to refine our innate ability to be a creator. One of the best ways to create a nice positive energy field around you is being in a state of gratitude for the things you do have, or the things you do enjoy right now. When we can get into a place of thanks that reflects the emotional experiences we want to have or do have. It helps us to create more of the same.
