Although we want to love and be loved, we also fear both. Our past experiences have programmed us to associate loving and being loved with unpleasant experiences and especially with feelings of vulnerability. For these and other reasons, we have developed fears and subconscious resistance ...

The role of Victim (poor me) is a favorite for many of us. There are so many benefits we can ascertain by playing the role of the victim. 1. We automatically gain self-worth. Follow this reasoning closely. As a victim, we are the one to whom injustice is being done, thus the others are ...

In the last few years I have created a new niche in my practice, counseling parents of adult "children." Perhaps it is a result of the fact that people are living longer that my clients are often over 65 and are as frustrated over their relationships with their grown-up sons and daughters as they were when their offspring were toddlers or teens. Although society has many rituals to celebrate the rites of passage into adulthood such as graduation from school, bar mitzvahs, and weddings, we have no way to demarcate the passage from "child" to adult within the family.

One stream of Gayatri is called Ritambhara or Prajna. One prays to Savita deity for the “Dhee” (intellect) element. It is none other than Ritambhara Prajna. In order to understand its nature and attain it, Divine Sciences have been designed. The spiritual philosophy of Divine Sciences helps evolve one’s Ritambhara Prajna. There is nothing more sacred than Ritambhara Prajna. Lord Krishna calls it righteous knowledge. With its grace one’s divine eye opens. These divine

They say our homes reflect our personalities and our personalities reflect in our homes. Which means that our surroundings play a huge role on our behavior, energy, attitude, mood etc. In today’s scenario, how much ever time we spend in our offices or out with our friends, the first foot you set back inside home at midnight gives you the most heightened feelings of relief. There are more than countable times that you realize, after all home is home! The way we design and ar

Do you settle for relationships with people because you secretly believe that you can't do better? I once knew a wonderful and loving minister who used to tell a story about one of his parishioners who came to him for guidance. She was a lovely woman who was having trouble financially. She told the minister about her low paying job and how she could barely pay her bills each month. The minister took a twenty-dollar bill out of his pocket and offered it to her. She recoiled, saying that she couldn't possibly accept it.

Addiction results from using a substance repeatedly to cope with emotional and/or physical pain. Family history of addiction is a factor in the severity of the problem and one’s ability and willingness to stop, but using substances to deal with emotional pain prevents us from learning effective behavioral coping mechanisms. And the more we use the more stunted our abilities to cope become. Addiction can be to alcohol, drugs, eating, gambling, sex, and even to one’s negative coping behaviors such as fighting, withdrawing, or being a drama queen.

Many of us have limiting beliefs that impact our relationship with money. During these difficult times when we are tightening our belts, it would be helpful to rid ourselves of any negative beliefs that impact our ability to manifest money. These beliefs originate from our interactions, cultural traditions and experiences with money, and then influence how we attract money (or not). If I believe something, even at a subconscious level, that belief impacts my ability to manifest that thing in my life.

Most fears or phobias can be traced back to a root cause. These root causes generally fall into three main categories based on what created the original fear. In this article you will learn the three ways in which a fear or phobia can start which should help you to understand more about how your own fear or phobia came about. A lifelong fear or phobia can usually be traced back to having been caused in one of the following three ways: 1. A Traumatic Experience. 2. Learned Behaviour 3. Psychological Inducement

Many of you will have read the book or seen the movie entitled the “SECRET”. Actually what is taught is not a secret. It has been known for thousands of years by all religions and philosophical and spiritual groups that our beliefs, thoughts and emotions create our reality. We have discussed in previous chapters the laws of attraction, mirroring and sympathetic vibration through which we manifest our personal, social and planetary reality.

When you can’t control when you start or when you stop a behavior or substance you are suffering from a compulsion. We are all familiar with compulsive eating, drinking, and spending. Compulsive behavior begins as a solution to another problem, a way of using pleasure to mask pain. Sadly, over ...

An emotional detox is probably the best thing you can do for your health. In the short-term, it relieves stress, improves sleep quality, strengthens your immune system and helps you cope better with life. In the long-term it could prevent life-threatening diseases from developing. What is more, it is simple to do, and you don't have to give up coffee, chocolate or your evening glass of wine! In this article, I will show you how to find and release the toxic emotions stored in your body, leaving your system squeaky-clean and healthy. Forgive and Forget - Is This Possible?

You need a peaceful, clear and positive mind in order manifest your needs for your self, your family and perhaps even for society and the world. Our emotions have a direct effect on our bodies. Every time we feel an emotion, our endocrine system excretes certain hormones or peptides that flow throughout our blood stream to all of our cells, filling them with the “hormones of that emotion”. The hormonal state created by negative emotions creates an imbalance in our nervous, endocrine and immune system, which in turn creates an imbalance in all other systems.

The Shrutis (Vedas) say: Devi vachamjanayanta devastam Vishwaroopaha pashavo vadanti. Sa no mandreshvamurgam duhana Dhenurvagasmanupasushtuvaitu. MEANING: Subtle speech is Goddess. It is the entire world manifest. She is the mother of demigods. Demigods are Mantra in nature. This by itself is science. Via the energy of this speech manifested Kamadhenu (or wish fulfilling cow) we are all alive. Because of it we speak and understand. Words have 2 forms. The 1st is which is utte

Is your life exactly what you want it to be? Probably not! Do you feel that you repeat the same old patterns year after year in your relationships, your finances and your career? Are you held back by feelings of insecurity or inadequacy? If the answer is yes, then very likely your subconscious programming is undermining you and sabotaging your life.

On a coaching call I had with a client a while ago, we talked about what was holding him back from creating what he wanted in his life. "I think I have a fear of being myself in the world," he told me.

Strength can come in many forms. Physical strength, where, even the weakest of us can lift cars off of children in moments of crisis. Spiritual strength, where your faith keeps you strong, wraps you in a blanket of understanding. Intelligent strength, where you use the talents of your brain to make life situations better. And emotional strength, where you recognize emotionally what's going on, and although you hurt, strive to step bravely into the future regardless. Strength

Before the movie, The Secret, Esther and Jerry Hicks wrote a series of best-sellers about the Law of Attraction: The Power of Deliberate Intent, and The Art of Allowing. Esther supposedly channels a non-inca ate being by the name of Abraham, who gives her knowledge about using the Law of Attraction to manifest things. The teaching is a great teaching and is basically correct and useful. The teaching states that whatever you focus on, you attract. So, you can reach for better feeling thoughts.

Are you on the fast-track to illness? The seeds of this debilitating condition may have already been sown, but it is not too late. You can stop things now and turn back towards health. In this article you will learn the two mental programmes which are the root of this debilitating condition. This could be the key to preventing years of illness for you! Destructive Programming

Many of us were raised to resist our feelings (don’t be angry, don’t cry, don’t be so wild, etc). We do most anything to not feel: we eat, do drugs, drink, exercise, work, text, play computer games, and in doing all of this doing, we fight reality. When we resist feeling, we block reality, and this leads to a pattern of fighting that distances us from a sense of peace and contentment and ability to be present in the here and now. We live according to the belief that I have to resist or fight in order get what I want and feel good.

As part of her ongoing "Life Makeover" psychotherapy process, Mia brought up her severe neck and shoulder pain in a session. I asked several questions regarding the pain, including when it had started. She said ten years ago. I then asked: What had happened ten years ago? Mia's eyes immediately filled with tears and she couldn't speak. I started tapping on her, saying "This sadness". When the intensity had gone down, she had very shallow breathing and rated herself at a four for Constricted Breathing.

Everything is energy and energy vibrates. The body is condensed materialized energy, at the level of our vibrations. I see the body as a small computer, connected to the main computer of the Highest Consciousness that is uniting us all. All knowledge is, of course, available as the Source has all knowledge. The body has access to the Source, as it is an instrument of the Source. For sure it has access to all of the personal history and suppressed emotions as evidenced by hypnosis.

If you want to alleviate stress, reduce negative emotions, eliminate obsessive thinking, or help actualize your potential, you can use the following simplified steps of CLEAR. This method combines a number of energy psychology methods (EFT, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing) and is simple and ...

What do Kids need? Children need to be seen and appreciated for who they are. Our job as an adult is to look at a child and ask, “Who can you be?” This means we create an atmosphere of curiosity and attention, which nurtures a child to find the essence of who they are. We support their way of being, providing freedom for them to be who they are while teaching them how to be a kind and authentic human.

Employers lose $200 billion a year due to stress-related ailments and 75-90 percent of employee visits to hospitals are stress-related, according to the National Institute of Health. What amazing statistics! Why we are not attacking stress with the same vigor with which we have attacked drug addiction or drunk driving, I know not. After all, stress is one of the core factors that leads to dangerous behaviors in adults. Most American adults are operating past their stress thre

Most of us are so used to living with stress that we aren't even aware that it's there. Here's a quick way to eradicate stress in two minutes or less. You can perform this procedure, called EFT, any time and anywhere.I enjoy doing it while stopped at a red light. It is safe and good for your health. Make sure to turn off your cell phone or iPod before you get started, When you are feeling uptight because of physical or emotional stress, the body tightens, and you may experience a knot in your stomach, neck or shoulders.

Have you ever experienced a gathering (church, conference, workshops, etc.) where the synergy of the group was so uplifting & powerful you just knew this would last forever? Then you return back to your everyday routine & environment (work, home, etc.) & some part of this energy or experience is lost. Is it that we fall back into our routines & forget this experience? Perhaps, the environment or community to which we return does not resonate with this new found energy & it is too difficult to maintain this vibration on our own.

Recently I was using EFT with a client I'll call Marie while she was exploring stress about some serious problems in her family. Thoughts and feelings about family members came up as she tapped, and tearfully she said, "I want love." She told me that she didn't feel loved by her mother and in the next breath explained that she and her mom spoke on the phone every day. Although she couldn’t' remember her mother hugging and kissing her as a child, she knew that her mom loved her, but it wasn't enough.

Repetition compulsion* is a pattern we get stuck in where we are trying to ease the pain that manifests because our needs as a child were not met. The pain occurs when we are younger and because our feelings weren’t acknowledged, the emotions (of fear, anger and grief) are not resolved and we get stuck in a loop of recreating the pattern in an attempt to resolve the feelings that get triggered in us.

Well, that is pretty obvious, I guess. For everyone knows that in order to get to the top of the mountain you will have to either walk, climb, or have a helicopter drop you off. In other words, some form of action will be required from you. No action, no results. That's all there is to it. ...

The Victim Tyrant Cycler By Julie Roberts, Ph.D. This paper is about adults and not children. Children don’t have a choice when they are victims (they can’t leave their situation and if they do speak, often they aren’t heard). Adults have choice when they can see beyond the pattern that keeps them in a victim place.

Once, King Divodas’ son Pratardan wished to see heaven. Taking commands from his father Pratardan went to heaven. Indra was greatly impressed by Pratardan’s enterprise and war oriented skills. He respectfully welcomed Pratardan and said: How can I serve you? Pratardan replied: Lord! I have enough wealth, food, children, fame etc. What more can I ask from you? I do not want anything. Indra laughingly said: Child! I know a man of enterprise and hard work lacks nothing in th

Love is all we need for deep-down wellbeing. Our subconscious mind knows this, and will do anything to get that feeling. Unfortunately, we often have sabotaging mental programmes too, which prevent us from allowing love into our lives. If we are in a relationship, we unconsciously keep our partner at a distance, either emotionally or physically. If we are single, we will doubtless sabotage any potential relationship.

How do we know when we have healthy fear versus unhealthy fear about the latest pandemic? Healthy fear stimulates our awareness and drives us to appropriate action. Unhealthy fear is not as effective because we are over stimulated. We are hypervigilant, stressed, and our body is tense, all of which makes us less capable of seeing reality clearly, and less able to respond appropriately. With unhealthy fear, we are responding from a place that was traumatized in the past. Let me explain. When something happens to us that is unpleasant, we resist feeling the emotions associated with this event.

Remaining Healthy, Happy and Positive during “Testing Times” From Robert Elias Najemy’s newly released DEALING WITH TESTING TIMES There are periods in the life of every person when certain events and situations demand greater inner strength, courage, faith, stamina, energy, understanding, optimism, inner security, and self-confidence. It could be a personal illness or the illness of a loved one. We might lose our job or savings. Another possibility is that we may need to work many more hours just to survive.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a mind-body natural energy therapy that has proven to be one of the most reliable methods available today to cure a phobia. Created by Gary Craig, this energy method has been used to help sufferers of virtually every type of phobia. Let’s examine why EFT is so effective and how it can help resolve your phobia once and for all. What is EFT? EFT is a natural energy protocol that uses two important proven concepts: 1. Our bodies have a natural energy healing system 2. Our mind can control and direct that healing energy

When it's time for the holidays or a family reunion do you cringe at the thought, but go anyway? Your mom will find fault with your hair, your job or the way you are bringing up your kids. Your dad might pick a fight with you or boast about how much money your brother makes while you are barely getting by. You know that you will have a terrible time and perhaps eat too much or drink to dull the pain. When I ask clients to tell me who in their life has had the most negative effect on them that is still a problem, the majority replies either mom or dad.

“A belief is just a thought that you keep thinking over and over again.”rn- Abraham-Hicks I was recently working with a client who has been struggling to build her business. She feels as though no matter what she does, she just can’t get a break. The economy collapsed. The person delivering her products took her money and ran. The assistant who was helping her turned out to be a nightmare. And so on.

Imagine that your body's capacity to cope is like a bucket. The bucket represents your strength, your immune system, and your resistance to the stresses of life. Each time you put yourself under stress, it fills the bucket a little bit. Perhaps you are having a difficult time working with a new boss, then you argue with your partner and children. After that you catch the flu, then there is a rumour about job cuts. Each thing contributes a bit more stress to the bucket.

Generally, society works against us discovering and being ourselves. We are taught to be what society and our parents want us to be. There is little faith in the brilliance and miracle of who we are. Instead, there is typically a fear that we are not enough and we have to push to be the best we can be to get what we want. We have to make ourselves into what we are supposed to be, and that is (we are told) not an easy road.

An important piece of productivity conce s what time of day you select to work on which activities. Everyone has a natural time during the day when they are "UP" (prime time) and a natural time when they are "DOWN" (down time). During prime time, your brain is "on"; your batteries are charged and you're able to focus. During down time, your brain feels "slow"; it's difficult to muddle through your work. First, let's chart your energy levels. Get out a piece of paper and draw

After an assault, the first priority is to help your mind release the pain, shock and trauma of the experience in order to move on. To do this, you have to coax your subconscious into unfreezing itself and allowing these changes to occur. The following healing exercise is one I have used many times with my clients with great success.

It is 1999, and I am sitting in the consultant's office. He closes my file and looks me straight in the eye. "Yes, you have ME, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome," he tells me. "I'm afraid there is nothing we can do to help you. You'll always have it, but in time you may be able to manage it. Good luck!" At the time, I had no idea of the damage this well-intentioned doctor had done with this simple statement. Now, twelve years and a long journey later, I know exactly what he did that day. He imposed a life-sentence on me.

Recently, I was talking with a client about her financial situation. The conversation went something like this: "I do so much of this spiritual stuff, and I'm happy all the time," she said. "Why am I not more financially abundant?" "Great question," I answered. "Why aren't you?" "I really don't know," she answered. I knew she was talking about the fact that she doesn't feel as though she has enough money. (This type of feeling is considered an inner conversation, a belief, or a vibrational place from which she is creating, by the way.)

No matter how positive our outlook in life, unpleasant things are going to happen which bring us down. People betray us, hurt us and disappoint us. People attack us with their spiteful words. They misjudge us, take credit for our work or malign us. When we experience this sort of thing in our daily lives, it is very difficult to remain positive. Such actions and feelings produce a very low vibration: a very negative energy. However, while we cannot stop this sort of thing from happening, we can choose how to react to it. Option 1:

Sometimes when we are little and things go wrong, we think we have to take charge and fix things. We feel it’s up to us to make it better. We think we have to be the big one and we’ll show the adults how to do it. Or we feel like no one else is seeing what a mess things are, or how unsafe things are, so we try to make it better.

If you’ve been dieting for weight-loss for some time and have found that the diet isn’t “working” – by whatever measure you care to apply – then the reason for this has to be to do with diet, or it has to do with how you are mentally and physiologically responding.

Method No 4: Write a Description of Your Ideal Reality Using your imagination, now write a detailed description of your new reality in which your ideal life and ideal self are already manifested. Write in the present tense as if all of your goals have already been achieved. Describe how you feel, think, behave and live, now that all is as you want it to be. Read this description daily or even rewrite as many times as you like for 90 days.

I recently turned 55 and at my birthday celebration, a friend told me that I had changed more than anyone he knew. When I told this to another friend (with whom I have recently reconnected after 30 years) he said yes, that was true for him too, “you aren't the same person in so many ways, and yet you haven't changed at all in ways that are so fundamental to your nature.” What a great thing to hear after all these years—that my work on myself has paid off!

When you have suffered rape or sexual assault, you are carrying that shock and trauma in the cells of your body. It is particularly important to clear that shock from your system as soon as possible. If you do it straight away, the damage to you will be minimal. If, however, you leave it to fester, it can undermine your health, well-being and relationships for many years to come.

Are there aspects of your life that you're unhappy with? Are you ill? Are you overweight? Are you unhappy in your career or relationship? Do you feel like a victim? Do you think you are simply unlucky or that life is cruel? Perhaps you feel comfortable in the belief that there is nothing you can do to change any of this? Have you ever thought that perhaps you asked to have these things in your life? Energy of Attraction

What does it mean to bring more of the feminine into our culture and why should we do that? Is there evidence that it helps? In a study in Leadership: Women Do It Better Than Men, Harvard Business Review (https://hbr.org/2012/03/a-study-in-leadership-women-do), Dr. Jack Zenger and Dr. Joe Folkman identified sixteen competencies that made an individual an outstanding leader. The results showed that women out-scored men in twelve of the sixteen competencies, including: Taking initiative, Inspiring and motivating others, Driving for results, Building relationships, Collaboration, and team work.

During the 1st World War two American soldiers called Don and Bob were injured simultaneously. Both of them were fast friends. Don died immediately but Bob recovered after he was treated by competent doctors. The problem was that when Bob became fit and healthy a great change was noted in his attitude and behavioral pattern. Bob hence forth behaved exactly like his beloved dead friend Don. In fact Bob called himself “Don”. After the war ended, Bob left for Don’s home in

There are three sources of [[ATP]].nnATP-PC System (Phosphogen System) - This system is used only for very short durations of up to 10 seconds.

If you are a compulsive overeater you may have mixed feelings about eating out in restaurants. Although you enjoy eating, perhaps you feel fearful about being tempted to consume certain foods you love that you believe are "bad" because they lead to binge eating. Your inner dialogue sounds like this: I love this food so much that I don't think I can eat just one portion. If I eat it I will continue to eat too much. If I do, I am bad so I might as well keep eating since I have already "blown it." Afterwards I will hate myself, and vow to never do it again.

Seers of Spiritual science again and again exhort us to know our true self, to realize it and thus get spiritually uplifted. They command: ‘Atmanam vidhi’ and ‘Atmavarey jnatavya’. This means that man has very little knowledge about the unknown arena of his/her body and he/she does not know that he/she can march ahead on the path of soul advancement. Whenever this wisdom dawns one understands the subtle layers and thus one lives liberated while yet alive. We have the

Anyone who has suffered traumatic events has "stress." And, by expanding the terminology of PTSD, I think of all my EFT clients as having some form of “post-traumatic stress.” And while military personnel have received the most attention in this regard, this is not exclusively a military problem. As an EFT practitioner, I work with the effects of past traumas with every client.

Stressed out from the current state of the economy? Reiki can de-stress you quickly and easily! A Reiki treatment feels like a wonderful, glowing radiance that flows through you and surrounds you. It is hard to maintain a stressful attitude when you feel so good and peaceful about yourself and everything that is going on in your life. You can engage your sense of gratitude during the session and come away with a sense of peace and purpose. What is Reiki? Pronounced “rey-key,” many people believe that Reiki has to do with religion or woo-woo stuff.

The supreme energy or power of the entire cosmos is ones soul force. On the one hand at the worldly level everyone thinks that wealth is our supreme need of the hour and yet if we think deeply wealth is definitely inert and material in nature. By itself it has no energy or force of its own and that its use/misuse or good/bad aspects lie entirely in the hands of its owners. Just as a responsible man who possesses a gun/sword can use it optimally for protecting himself and othe

We all value our pets. They give us so much: affection, love and entertainment. So it's very hard to watch them when they are ill, afraid or suffering. Over the years I have sometimes been asked to provide healing for pets. Let me share with you some simple and effective healing techniques which you can use to help your furry friends. These have all been used with real animals, and without exception, the pet responded well to the treatment.

Today's world is very stressful. We put ourselves under pressure on a daily basis, at work, at home, at school, and that pressure is never released. Day after day, year after year, the stress ramps up, putting more and more strain on our minds and bodies until one day things simply fall apart: the result is exhaustion, illness or depression. This is the conventional understanding. However, is that all there is to it? Perhaps there is a more profound and spiritual interpretation of our high stress levels. Let's look a little deeper into this question.

This article discusses effective and ineffective ways of gaining personal power and how that search impacts those around us. Note: I suggest you read “The Victim Tyrant Cycle” as it includes important concepts used in this article (http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/negotiating-the-victim-tyrant-cycle).

The person you hoped to spend your life with has left you, for whatever reason. Your heart is broken. Initially, that pain and heart-ache is unbearable and you don’t know how you’re going to get through the next minute, let alone the next day. Obviously you need to go through a grieving process for the lost relationship, and that will take time. However, you can help yourself through the first acute stages of pain with these simple, natural remedies and healing exercises. Crystal Healing

There have been many methods proposed and tried for curing a severe fear or phobia but the evidence available indicates that the vast majority of them fail miserably.

Johnny Cash From The Darkness To The Light I recently watched the movie on the life of Johnny Cash called “I Walk The Line” and have been listening to Johnny’s hit album of 1968 called “Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison”. The story and the movie parallel each other in the depiction of the deviant sides of Cash and the conflict of the criminal element within himself to become more whole. In the album “Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison” Cash sings songs of the experiences of a reckless, unlawful life that divulges the angry world of the criminal.

Recently I found myself in the hospital with acute appendicitis. After my appendix was removed, I had a several-day hospital stay recovering from the surgery. In the book "A Stroke of Insight", Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, the author and a brain scientist experienced a stroke and recovery. Jill talks about how clearly she saw and felt different people’s energies as they came into her hospital room; sometimes their energy was very painful and sometimes it was very loving and supportive.

If you do for others and neglect your own needs, you are not nurturing yourself and you are not aligned with your true self. Often people are told they are selfish if they think of themselves and and put their needs before others, but really we strengthen ourselves when we listen to our own needs. We are born into the world only with ourselves—this is our main gift to the world—us. So when we bring ourselves fully into the world, others benefit. We come home to ourselves by listening to our bodies. When we are in sync and aligned, we feel strong, and content.
