ARTArticleThe Divine InvitationYou have been invited to participate in a wondrous dance with the Divine! You chose the pace, the tempo, the direction and the form. The Divine supplies the very substance of creation to and through you for this creative dance. It is ongoing, ever-evolving dance of creation with the Master Creator of All!ARTArticleThe Dog Days of SummerSummer has become intolerable for me. It is just too damn hot and I am miserable, sweaty and cranky, much of the time. But when my little pooch Poppy starts panting in the heat, her little pink tongue drooping out of her open mouth, I know the Dog Days of Summer have arrived. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, summer is sizzling at its most intense right now.ARTArticleThe Essence of Zen Meditation Revealed: How to Meditate like a Zen Monk"Close your eyes: what is left when there is no thought? rn(Truly, nothing else ever need be said beyond this.) But to try and answer what cannot be answered: All that is left is now. Now is not a place between past and future. For the past and future can only exist in thinking. Now is. It is a completely different reality to time. It cannot be separated from awareness and it cannot be separated from existence at it's essence. It has no beginning and no end. It is consciousness itself. Only when you get caught up in thinking does this e ARTArticleThe Fallow Season… Time to Rest and Reset Your LifeIf you’re like me, you get all fired up for the holidays – or maybe all stressed up, depending on your circumstances. Family, friends, gifts given and received, shopping and making food for the multitudes… it’s a lot to deal with. And even if you like Thanksgiving, Hanukah, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve, there’s a natural tendency to feel let down afterwards. No matter how successful, we all get to experience post-performance letdown.ARTArticleThe Fiscal CliffWe are all hearing so much about the Fiscal Cliff, and it is something we need to be conce ed about – though preferably not to the point of hysteria. There are four things that you really need to know in order to meet this financial challenge with ease and grace…rn…r ARTArticleTHE FOOD PYRAMID, PROCESSED FOODS & ALLERGIESMany of us may remember the food pyramid that was taught in school. The government thought it was a good idea to teach Americans how to eat properly. The pyramid, or more aptly the triangle is designed to show how many servings of each type of food should be eaten on a daily basis. The bottom of the triangle holds the largest space and thus it contains the largest portion of servings; eight glasses of water. As the triangle gets smaller, the servings of each type of food gets smaller, as well, with the top reserved for fats, oils and sweets.ARTArticleThe Gift of Setting Yourself Free“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” - Lewis B. Smedes Negative emotions consume you. They keep you from experiencing the good you desire, the good that is rightfully yours. Stored up negative emotions of anger, regret, resentment, and sorrow can keep you stuck in the past; dwelling on the past can adversely affect your health, and your life. Unless you let it go. Choose to forgive. Your mind is wandering now. You’re thinking, “Why should I forgive her? She said some pretty cruel things about me and I did nothing wrong.”ARTArticleThe Goddess of Love and Her Archetypes, Which One Are You?Which aspect of the Goddess of Love do you most identify with? Is it Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty? Or perhaps Lilith, the Primal Goddess? Or do you see yourself more as the Sacred Prostitute, Courtesan or Sexual Healer? The Goddesses of Love have many names for they represent a side of the Divine Feminine that depicts women’s sensual and sexual natures. These goddess archetypes have often been seen from a very narrow point of view. The mythology of any culture always reflects the values of that culture and so do the pantheon of gods and goddesses that are created.ARTArticleThe Importance of ReceivingYesterday morning I rushed out the door in order to make it to work on time. I noticed there were leaves all over the patio. I dutifully picked up the broom in order to sweep, but within about 2 ½ seconds I realized I didn’t have enough time. So, I begrudgingly put the broom back in its home. I like to come home after work to a nice clean comfortable space, but the leaves were going to have to wait.ARTArticleThe Invisible Thread“We’re all connected.” It’s the ubiquitous mantra of new-agey types. Chances are if you’ve ever watched Oprah, were a fan of the TV show Lost, or have read just about anything I’ve written, you are very familiar with this concept. Along with its close cousin “everything happens for a reason,” it’s pretty much become a cliché that isn’t really given much thought. Yet, how exactly are we all connected?ARTArticleThe Keys to Success: Resourcefulness and FocusDuring a Ted.com talk in 2006, Anthony Robbins—a personal development writer and motivational speaker who has written books such as “Unlimited Power: The New Science Of Personal Achievement” and “Awaken the Giant Within” —asked the following question: When people fail to achieve something, what are the reasons that they give? Here are the reasons: • They didn’t have enough money; • They didn’t know enough; • They didn’t have the time; • They lacked the necessary technology, and so on. In other words, they argue that they didn’t have the necessary resour ARTArticleThe Metaphysics of TruthWhat will it take before we realize our world is really a reflection of our understandings and misconceptions. We fail to realize that EVERYTHING is happening because we are HERE and watching or observing. According to Quantum Physics' most notable discovery, the act of observation is what "creates" reality in the sub-atomic world. The fact remains that the building blocks of ALL matter behave inconsistently with the laws of Newtonian Physics that govern all visible objects.ARTArticleThe Missing Link #3: POSITIONAre you feeling bored, frustrated or depressed when you look at your business? Do you wonder if there is some easier way to create your dreams, or whether you are doomed to stay stuck and struggling? The good news is that in this series on The Missing Link to Success, we look at the five components that I have found are central to creating a prosperous life. Here’s the formula we mentioned earlier: PASSION + PURPOSE + POSITION + PRODUCTIVITY + PEACE OF MIND = PROSPERITY ARTArticleThe Missing Link #4: PRODUCTIVITYAre you feeling stuck or paralyzed in your life or business? Do you spend way too much time on the internet, reading your email, drinking coffee or the equivalent because you just can’t focus on work? The fact is that many people are slackers and drifters, with mediocre lives… The good news is that in the teleconference series on The Missing Link to Success, we look at the five components that I have found are central to creating a prosperous life. Here’s the formula: PASSION + PURPOSE + POSITION + PRODUCTIVITY + PEACE OF MIND = PROSPERITY ARTArticleThe Missing Link #5: PEACE OF MINDAre you feeling stuck or paralyzed in your life or business? Do you spend way too much time on the internet, reading your email, drinking coffee or the equivalent because you just can’t focus on work? The fact is that many people are slackers and drifters, with mediocre lives… The good news is that in the teleconference series on The Missing Link to Success, we look at the five components that I have found are central to creating a prosperous life. Here’s the formula: PASSION + PURPOSE + POSITION + PRODUCTIVITY + PEACE OF MIND = PROSPERITY ARTArticleThe only New Years Resolution you will EVER needIt's that crazy time of year again when lists are made with often unachievable, sometimes downright ridiculous goals. Three people I know have already decided on theirs. One is currently eating through the Christmas food like there is a famine approaching so she can start a diet on January 1st, another has signed up to a gym but she doesn't want to actually start until New Year (although she has bought all the kit), and the third is "absolutely, definitely" going to give up smoking this year "for sure". Sound familiar?ARTArticleThe Opportunies in ChangeThe topic of change is constantly in the headlines and in our conversation these days: the changing economy, changing earth conditions, all kinds of changing circumstances that appear to have influence in our lives. Change can be powerfully uplifting and energizing, helping us to restore our spirit and spurring us forward to manifest our dreams.ARTArticleThe Path to Happiness; Take a Shortcut!THE PATH TO HAPPINESS: TAKE A SHORTCUT What is the one thing every human being on the planet has in common? What is it that drives us all into countless workshops, has us filling bookshelves with rows of self-help books and causes us to spent thousands of dollars and endless hours with a therapist? If you answered the desire to be happy, you’d be right. Studies show that when people are asked what they consider to be most important in life, the answer is invariably “to be happy”. This wish outranks the desire for wealth, a good career, prestige, power, fame and sex.ARTArticleThe Philosophical BartenderPull up a stool and grab a cup of sunshine, while I tell you the story about a philosophical bartender; who changed lives through his simple yet profound words of wisdom. “In every life there will fall some rain,” Jerry would say, “the rain only comes to wash away the tears from our eyes so we can see the rainbow.” In his matter-of-fact manner, Jerry always knew the right thing to say at the right time. Each night, when he clocked in at the bar, Jerry knew he had a job to do.ARTArticleThe Power of Love“We have learned to fly in the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not mastered the simple art of living together as brothers.” Martin Luther King, Jr. Modern technology is supposed to simply our lives. Automobiles, cellular telephones, computers and so many more laborsaving devices can free us from having our energy tied up in physical survival. But too often we become engrossed in these synthetic creations and lose sight of our life’s purpose.ARTArticleThe Power of Love to HealSt. Theresa of Lisieux wrote in “Story of a Soul”: “What matters in life, is not great deeds, but great love.” Her spiritual path was doing the ordinary with extraordinary love. “I know of one means only by which to attain to perfection: LOVE. Let us love, since our heart is made for nothing else.”ARTArticleThe Power of WordsThe Power of Words It's time to realize that everything around us is a vibrating energy. Even our words hold a significant vibratory force. Yes, I said words. Your words are building blocks of which you construct your life and future. They set the cornerstones of our life, causing us to live within the confines of those very boundaries we've created with our own words. Situations, circumstances and conditions are all subject to change, but with the support of your words, you can help direct positive outcomes in your life. "By thy words thou shalt be justified,ARTArticleThe RockThis stuff really works! That was my initial thought as I straightened up and stepped back to inspect the results of my efforts.ARTArticleThe Role of Romantic Relationships in Spiritual GrowthMost of us value the companionship, love and the intimacy of having a mate but how do these relationships impact our efforts at spiritual growth? Those of us who take a mystic approach to spirituality and who may utilize a particular Sadhana or yogic technique, have most certainly come across the debate on sensory indulgences, life force control and the temptations of carnal pleasures.ARTArticleThe Scale of Emotions from Lowest to HighestEmotions can be placed on a graduated scale from lowest to highest. Any counselor will find it beneficial to know where her client is on the scale, and to know the clients likely reaction if he were to rise or fall from that position. Knowledge of the scale is similarly helpful in everyday life, especially in relationships!. When you're experiencing negative emotion, you are less intelligent. When you feel good, you are more intelligent.ARTArticleThe Summer SolticeJoin me as we explore the Way of the Celts, land of myth and fantasy. The Celts had some interesting views surrounding the changing of the seasons. Let us delved into some ideas and concepts surrounding the turning of the year, rebirth, renewal and revitalization. The Ancient Celts believed the world to be a magical, variable realm ruled by invisible forces and mystical elements.

On the one hand, yippee! I love both giving and receiving. On the other hand, I can’t help feeling exhausted in advance with all the shopping, money, stress and time required to fulfill what I have imposed on myself as my holiday duty.ARTArticleThe Truth about Meditation"According to your mind, bliss and freedom are just around the corner. It will be in the next book you read, the next Guru you see, the next diet, the next spiritual movement. And somehow the idea of meditation gets woven into all of this. But meditation is the opposite. Meditation is about being present with what is here. It is about letting gornof this constant tendency to leave this moment in search of something else. It is about surrendering to what is here, being aware of what is here. Because here is not the suffering. The avoidance of here is the ARTArticleThe Turning of the YearWelcome the Way of the Celts, land of myth and fantasy. Let us discuss some ideas and concepts surrounding the turning of the year and rebirth, renewal and revitalization. The Ancient Celts believed the world to be a magical, variable realm ruled by invisible forces and mystical elements. Each and every rock, stick, twig, tree, stream, flower and river had a spiritual presence associated with it. The ancients would be very careful and watch were they walked for they never knew if a Sprite or Fairy was lurking under the petals of that daisy they just walked past.ARTArticleThe Value of Clarity and 5 Ways to Create More of It!At our breakfast during a coaching Retreat in Tucson, we were asked to meet someone new and ask them what is your breakthrough you are wanting from the retreat?
