Has your mind ever been filled with doubts, fears, shame, guilt, and self deprecation. Imagine your mind is like your home. Are there cobwebs? Is there dust? Is the furniture old and tattered? Throw it out! But have a plan. If you just throw out the couch of “I can’t”, and the bed of “I should”, and the mirror of “ self hatred”, you need to replace it with your true desires. If you erase your need to replace, otherwise your mind will be empty and vacant. Here are a few examples of how to erase and replace:

Usually when we hear the phrase “come to your senses”, we often think of using our mind and thoughts more correctly. Instead of using just the mind, how about dropping into the senses of the smells, colors, sounds, and feelings of this moment. By being fully present, it of course starts with the mind, but don’t stop there. Let your mind drip down into this “now” and into the six senses fully. Let every cell radiate consciousness of the pure deliciousness of this moment, right here, right now.

How to achieve inner peace. • Be aware, accept and love each part of yourself. • Know that each part has a positive intent, no matter how negative you think the part is. • Each part (that is troubling you) is an identity of a young child trying to survive a trauma and is stuck in that memory. When the part feels that you love and accept it, and it feels safe, then the part can detach from the memory and the part then unites with you and matures. The conflict, separation and fragmentation disappears.

When one first gets a diagnosis of cancer, they enter a state of shock, for cancer literally means dying for most of us. More people die of heart disease than cancer but cancer has much more fear attached to it, thanks to the plethora of misinformation around. To many, cancer means a death sentence. So if you get shocked by a diagnosis of cancer, it means that you automatically presumed that you were going to die. Now we are all going to die but it is not death that actually scares us so much, it is the premature death that we fear, dying before our time.

Awareness is probably the most powerful tool that you have to progress in your quest for understanding. Awareness is primarily the tool of the unconscious and the universe, and the ego can also use this tool. Simply put, awareness is just being aware, that’s all. Too often we bypass awareness and presume, criticize, judge and apply meaning and when we do this, we create an artificial reality, an illusion. In fact most of our lives are illusions. Awareness is staying still in the moment and when we become aware of something. Stop and stay there. Stay in awareness.

When one has cancer, they may have as their greatest desire – to not have cancer, fight the cancer etc. This is interpreted by the unconscious mind as they want to lose the cancer and therefore lose what cancer means. That is, they want to lose the problems caused by cancer and be as they were, before they received the diagnosis. Can you see the problem with this?

You have cancer and you do not want cancer (I hope).

Your body is functioning perfectly. Your body is functioning perfectly according to the information it is supplied with.

As a baby we have one fear, we fear being separated. This is a survival mechanism, for if we are separated from our mother - we will perish. Though this is not necessarily so today, in our civilized world, this fear of separation is still inherited from our past. While we are attached to an outer object (mother) and while we are in the womb, we are protected and safe. When we enter the world and are free from our safe womb, we still need the attachment of this same outer object. For we have changed little from being in the womb, we can breathe air but we are even more vulnerable.

Can you cure cancer using the mind? The answer is yes, but first we need to understand what cancer is. Cancer is a word or a label and when we use it, we recall our thoughts, beliefs and perceptions about cancer and what it is. It is easy to think when you are talking to another person about cancer, that we both know what cancer is and we both have the same perceptions. We can see that cancer is a disease and it can lead to death, now this statement is true but it leaves out much vital information and this information is necessary to heal cancer and be cancer free and healthy.

The human being is certainly a complex animal, all animals bodies are highly complex organisms, even a single cell is unfathomably complex and we each have 50 trillion of them. When we consider the mind and consciousness then we add more layers to the complexity. Yes it can be overwhelming to try and know about our complexity. I mean, we know very little about ourselves and if we exclude the physical workings of the body for a moment, though it can be recognised that we can investigate and measure the anatomy and physiology of the body, what do we know about why we behave the way we do?

Hi parents, Learning to communicate with anyone can be challenging at times and yet it is a skill that is crucial to life. Communicating with children, who don’t think in the same way that adults do, may be even harder. One of the primary distinguishing features of autism is that these children have severe trouble with communication and social interaction. This makes it even more important to learn good communication skills and to learn how to communicate in a way that will truly help the child.

The best thing to do when your child has a negative behavior that needs to be changed is: 1. Assume good intent. If you assume he meant to do something bad, then he might end up continuing on with the negative behavior and/or becoming defensive. It is better to assume positive intent and then lead them from there. 2. If the behavior needs a reframing of content, then you can find out what that positive intention is, and you can work with your child to find a different behavior that would meet the same need.

We all want an abundance of self esteem. And why not? Self esteem equates to confidence, being attractive (without having to fake it), and being a magnet for success, wealth, popularity, and a whole host of other goodies. The Law Of Attraction requires a genuine core of self esteem before it swings into action, bringing whatever we desire to us without our having to lift a finger. We don't have to earn what comes to us when we have lots of self esteem. It comes to us as a cosmic gift. But if we don't already have that core, can we generate it by positive thinking? Not really!

Often we hear anger called a negative emotion. Like the creator made a mistake in the original design of humanity—the kind of mistake typical of humans. Maybe it was just a slip of the spoon when adding ingredients, or inadvertent reactiveness between two benign components (like barbiturates and alcohol). Before we blame the cosmos for anger issues, it might be useful to step back and take a look at what we label anger. For one thing, anger has very different flavors. The first kind we all experienced was infant anger about not being cared for adequately.

If we were to diagram most adult relationships as stick figure art, we would have a confusion of interlocking lines. Even if different colors were used for each person, arms and leg lines would show a lot of confusion, struggle and oppositional positioning. That's because for the most part we continue to deal with adult love relations much as we did in our original families. And we have secondary lines of confusion with our children, larger families, close friends, and, of course, worst enemies.

They are unfinished business from childhood. In several decades of working in the mental health field, I've learned that when people look for help, the most common areas are: relationships, career, and personal performance. Specifically, they are issues like self-esteem, fears of being abandoned, insecurities, dependencies, being controlled by others, and never getting to the point of deciding who we want to be when we grow up. What I've found most useful is to look at the groupings of client issues as related to specific challenges we all began facing in childhood.

Ok, if you’re not a Pink Floyd fan – and/or haven’t listened to the Dark Side Of The Moon album (it’s been pointed out to me recently, by the way, how badly I’m dating myself by even using the term “album”) – this article may take you a bit more time to get in the groove of. There’s a song on the Dark Side album called “Speak To Me/Breathe.” The first verse contains the following lyrics: Breathe, breathe in the airr Don’t be afraid to carer Leave but don’t leave mer Look around, choose your own groundr For long you live and high you flyr

Do you have trust issues with your partner (and/or someone you’re not romantically involved with)? If you don’t, you’re a rarity. With so many couples I work with, it looks like communication’s a major issue (which it is), but more often than not, the more fundamental issue you’re dealing with is what you trust and what you don’t with your partner. If you’re in this dilemma, odds are that your willingness to mend your heart, and get majorly re-connected with your partner has become inextricably linked with your mind demanding that the other person prove to you that they’re trustworthy.

Traveling across the southweste states, I've visited a hundred archeological sites built by pueblo peoples. One curious fact has to do with names given to them. Toozigoot, a ruin near Sedona, Arizona, is a Comanche word meaning “crooked waters.” Nearby is Montezuma's Castle and Montezuma's Well, attributing Aztec origins to ruins that pueblo peoples constructed. In New Mexico, Santa Clara Pueblo is the name given by Spanish invaders and Coronado State Park is dedicated to the village that conquistador's expedition camped at for a winter, eating all their precious stores of grain.

I can still recall fondly my childhood. Years spent playing with my assorted dolls and their accessories. Creating imaginary worlds of glamor and adventure. My dolls were an outlet-as for most little girls the opportunity to forage into the social realm with the proverbial security blanket. A 12 ” blonde- haired perfectly proportioned piece of perfection. Gaggles of girls would flock together with their representations of themselves in tow. These dolls provided the opportunity to socialize and play in a group setting.

A relationship is when both parties participate into the communication. Well when you ‘feel’ you want to eat to go eat the food speaks to you by the triggers you already have installed in your body. These triggers fires up the times when you ‘feel’ you want to eat. Most of the times these triggers are in your sub-conscience and you simply re-act to them to satisfy your-self - eating. Do you know how much food do you need to satisfy your appetite? Do you have food compulsions?
