Browse Inner Peace

At that moment in your life when you feel as if your world is crumbling around you, something has happened to change all that you have worked so hard for and to maintain, find comfort in the knowing that everything happens for a reason. It is always for your greater good or the greater good of someone that you love so try to find comfort in this knowledge.

I once read a poem in my doctor’s office that went something like this: If a child is raised in anger, he will feel anger. If a child is raised with guilt, he will feel guilty. If a child is raised with shame, he will feel shame. If a child is raised in love, he will feel love. Of course that is not the whole poem, but you get the point. At the time, the poem was just something to read while I waited. Today the meaning is very clear to me.

Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, emphasises the importance of inner peace in the world: The question of real, lasting world peace conce s human beings, so basic human feelings are also at its roots. Through inner peace, genuine world peace can be achieved. In this the importance of individual responsibility is quite clear; an atmosphere of peace must first be created within ourselves, then gradually expanded to include our families, our communities, and ultimately the whole planet.

Maintaining Contact with your Diamond Consciousness in these Accelerated Times Imagine a world in which we are all Connected and Vertically Aligned with our Authentic Diamond Self and our Soul’s Divine Purpose, saying “YES” to living fulfilled, purposeful lives…creating the Wealth of Being that we deserve. (Wealth of Being ...

Diamond Consciousness in the Age of Aquarius The Age of Aquarius, once sung by the popular 80’s group, the Fifth Dimension, is now upon us, ringing an inner bell that our own consciousness must answer. All of YOU -Lightworkers, Energy Healers, Starseeds and Indigos - whose task it is to ascend in the midst of all the density and duality of the third dimension (i.e.

One thing I have learned on my journey of transformation is that Awakening to our own Divinity, or to what I call our Diamond Consciousness (conscious partnership with the Divine) is a process – not just a one-time event. In these accelerated times, moving through the vibrational shifts and clearing that naturally come with this Awakening process can be extremely challenging.

People are taken in by propaganda that abets their beliefs, especially in the realm of religion and politics. They are unaware that a conditioned mind interprets everything according to its conditioning. Their native intelligence remains stunted.

Joy...the alchemical emotion. One drop of Joy transforms oceans of doubt and fear into Trust and Love." - Kevin Ryerson Joy is the ecstatic feeling in the body that uplifts you and radiates good feeling into the world around you when your Authentic Self, the Diamond Self Within, is fully experienced, expressed and enjoyed. Joy is the Freedom to fully express the unique talents and gifts of this Diamond Within that only you can express, and to embody your Spirit in this physical world. This Sacred Union of body and Spirit is what I call “true Joy”.

Our world is a beautiful abstract of colors. Colors elicit human response. Whether it is at a conscious level or sub-conscious level, the anatomy of color effects us emotionally, psychologically, spiritually and physiologically - at various levels. It is therefore, beneficial to plan an environment you feel good about coming home to; one that soothes the spirit and regenerates the soul. How can you achieve this? Simple, through the use of color! Color is a single, quick and e

Rheumatoid arthritis is a potentially debilitating autoimmune condition, generally affecting the hands, feet and wrists causing pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints. It is caused when the immune system attacks the synovium (cell lining inside the joint) and can cause permanent damage to the joint, cartilage and bone. Flare ups can happen without warning leaving the sufferer feeling fatigued and generally unwell.

Satori is a Japanese Buddhist term for Enlightenment, meaning "understanding". In the Zen Buddhist tradition, Satori refers to the experience of "seeing into one's true nature" (Wikipedia). In this article, we look into the common grounds betwee Near Death Experience (NDE) and Satori. The common grounds tell us something about natural spirituality. Their messages take us into the wider consciousness.r

It is usually assumed that our consciousness begins with birth and that matters get recorded from then on. In reality, consciousness exists even while the child is in the womb and a kind of ‘knowingness’ seems to operate then.

Careful examination of the various features of the Near Death Experience (NDE) – that is, the experience of those who clinically die for a short time - helps us understand the fact of reinca ation. They also help us perceive the deeper purpose of life on this planet. This brings in unqualified compassion in us towards all living beings.

Researchers on NDE have gathered a lot of information over the past 35 years or so. Putting them all together and reading between the lines, we can gain a lot of insight into life. Gradually, we turn to be holistic and understand the sacredness of life. PMH Atwater, a seasoned researcher on NDE, has done some good analysis on the many reports from the NDE people. The following conclusions are from her publication ‘The Complete Idiot’s Guide to NDEs’. Also included are statements of Jean Ritchie, another author on NDE.

Do you find yourself saying that you would like to try meditation, take a yoga class, go for a walk after lunch, but that you’re just too busy? The most common block to having a spiritual practice is busy-ness. We women who do too much try multitasking so many things each day that we end up prioritising, consciously or subconsciously, all of them as being more important than ourselves. We put our to do lists before any time devoted to making contact with the place within us t

The vast majority of human beings live under the shadow of the fear of death – one’s own and that of the near and dear ones. They can release themselves from that pain by paying attention to what is known as the After Death Communication (ADC).

WE ARE DIAMONDS! We are Diamonds! Each of us, as an indestructible, brilliant spark of the Divine, arrives on this Earth with a Divine Diamond Blueprint, or Divine Plan, that is imprinted with our Soul’s Divine Purpose and Highest Diamond Potential, ready and waiting to be awakened and actualized. This Invisible Blueprint of the Diamond Self Within is encoded within every cell and contains our unique talents and gifts which only we can express.

SEEKING SPIRITUAL FULFILLMENT ONLINE The marriage of Spiritual Consciousness and the Internet's world-wide web technology was consummated in a very public ceremony on a Monday night in March 2008, when more than 500,000 people gathered around their computers and simultaneously logged on to a live webcast featuring Oprah Winfrey and Eckhart Tolle, spiritual teacher and writer.

This beautiful, blue marble of a planet is racing through space with great dignity. Do we match it in dignity and deserve to belong to this planet? Obviously, we don’t! The reasons are clear too. Can we bring in a new dimension to this scenario? The writer has participated in discussions on this issue at such places as the Vasanth Vihar (Krishnamurti Foundation India) and the Adyar Theosophical Society, Chennai, India.

BeSimply…Half Past Human with Clif High It was a warm summer day in Roberts Creek. “She” had arranged to have a meeting with a mysterious being named “Phong”. He was sharing his vision for a platform dedicated to finding the connection between dreams, serendipity and world events. During their discussion Phong shared with “She” a link to an interview with a gentleman named, Clif High from Half Past Human. As Phong, described to “She” that he had an analysis program (an ALTA) that studied the psychic leaks of the humans using the internet.

Do you live with inner demons? Is there something you did in the past that haunts you day in and day out? Do these demons control your life and control who you are? Well, they do not have to. There is nothing in the past that can affect you unless YOU ALLOW it to. There is nothing that can DEFINE who you really are OR who you want to be unless YOU ALLOW it to. Too often, we live with guilt and regret over things we have said and done. We allow these feelings to control our en

General Human beings on this planet are unaware of how much they burden their minds unnecessarily in the process of growing up. It is good to wake up to this unfortunate situation and release oneself from the burden to move towards a peaceful life. We then add a certain sacredness to our life from which all other holistic things follow.

There are many facts about Near Death Experiences that have come to light through the research in that field over the last 30 years. The more we look into them, the more we receive wonderful messages about the wider truths.

As I drew my first breath, the doctors and nurses held theirs. Mom was sweetly anesthetized when they labeled my condition defective. With the long Latin name of spondyloepiphyseal dyplasia, I would now be viewed under the microscope of doctors, bullies, and the wide-eyed world. But this same dwarfed body, complete with degenerative arthritis, would one day become my most noble teacher. Adversity is so fascinating that way.

Wealth of Being is a phenomenon that occurs when the Magic of the Sacred is infused throughout our lives. It is a quality of life fulfillment that grows from the inside-out…from a state of such profound Peacefulness, profound Sweetness, profound Beauty and profound Expansion that it is not dependent on anything exte al. It arises from the undisturbed infinite peace that lies within us when we are in Conscious Connection with our Authentic Self and the Infinite Energy of the Universe.

We all had dreams as a child, or something we just loved to do. Some of those we remember, and others have been lost to the ages. The ones we seem to have lost, are really only a flash back away. We need only dust off the mirror and look into our past, to recall those thoughts we had, to remember the dreams of days gone by.

In these times of financial crisis and confusion, it is more important than ever to stay clear, relaxed, and connected to the Flow of Divine Energy from Source that helps you ride the waves of any transition with Grace and Ease! This flow of Source Energy is always available … it is pure life force…the core Energy of all that exists that sources you with everything you need.

It has been my observation that most of our society participates or has participated in different levels of abuse. No matter what role we have held, collectively we might benefit from pondering how we can stop the cycle of abuse. Some might think this is a strong word; however, I feel it is really important that we start calling it like it is. In addition, to providing a safe environment for all of us to take full responsibility for our choices and take immediate action with ‘self’ by deciding to stop participating in this predator-victim cycle.

Until very recently I had co-owned some property with an ex-partner he had been living in. When he decided to move out we made the decision to sell and that’s when a previously amicable situation turned sour. This isn’t a negative piece about him, and nor shall I go into details but rather about a choice I had to make which is quite common in this ‘ole thing we call life.

The conventional spiritual involvements are through religious concepts and, hence, through the verbal approach. In contrast, the non-verbal awareness takes us to a different spiritual dimension untouched by the conditioned mind. It clears one’s psyche of all the muck that it collects in its demands for security and satisfaction.

Summary: Messages from near death experiences resulting from unsuccessful suicide attempts tell us a lot about the impropriety behind the act. Even though the impropriety is generally felt by all, the inside story of it reveals a great deal more. - - - - - - - People who return from a near death experience (NDE) after an attempted suicide tell us in different ways why such an act is fundamentally improper. The perspectives given by them can help people understand the preciousness of life and the need to desist from the heinous act of self-annihilation.

Many of ''US" have been traversing through expansion, contraction, purging, refining and feel at times that we are jumping from cliffs or being pushed off them...This has been a period where we are being asked to realign with "self". Many of ''US'' are traversing through old stories, beliefs and perceptions. We are in a period where we are being afforded the opportunity to "LET GO" and dive into the VOID.

Suzanne Toro shares an introduction to a Self Help Series for Women and Men who have been abused or violated. She shares a simple over view on how to identify if you are still holding on to the trauma and the fears. She will share how you can identify where you might have buried you pain. Suzanne will be offering an on-line workshop where she will share how to use self-reliance, self love and life to heal the deepest wounds.

Inner serenity is a matter of slow growth, as all issues of greatness happen to be. Patient and consistent reflections on the esoteric matters of life can bring about that serenity. The ensuing confidence helps us lead a well-ordered and useful life.

Research on Near Death Experiences proves that those who return from the clinically dead state are profoundly changed for the better in a number of ways. Those who listen to them with their hearts can move on to a holistic and wholesome life.

Listening to what lies behind the thought process can be quite helpful in understanding ourselves beyond the verbal explanations. Certain periods in our daily routine are conducive to that listening. It is good to pay attention to those times of inner silence. The Conditioned Mindr

An example of what may be called the Mutually Exclusive Multiple Pointers (MEMP) approach to discovering the hidden truths is explored here in connection with the issue of reinca ation. Those on life's quest will find this interesting and useful.

The conventional concept is that human beings have free will and that they can make any decision by it unhindered by other things. This is true only within a limited sphere of awareness. When the perspective expands, we see a totally different actuality.

I was working on my computer, when my son told me that a hummingbird had hit the sliding glass door outside my bedroom. He told me that my very eager cat, Annie, quickly retrieved it and brought it into my bedroom. Annie released the bird and when I found it, it was pressed up against one of the windows in my room. I approached it with the intention that I would cause it no harm. I slowly moved towards it and gently took it into my hands. It made a slight noise and allowed me to pick it up. I took it outside and stood for 5 minutes or so holding it in one of my hands.

True peace with inner depth cannot come through following some formulas, religious or otherwise. Applying oneself to understanding the esoteric facts of life builds stable peace. Here the convergence of modern science and mysticism can help a great deal.

True detachment results from understanding how we gather a lot of unnecessary mental accretion that hangs heavy on us preventing us from discovering higher dimensions of our spiritual existence. Dropping off the accretion takes place when we understand what it means to embark on an inward journey, with effortless detachment as its content.

What I have discovered along my Spiritual journey is that it is only when I am consciously Connected and Aligned with the vibration of the Universal Energy first that the manifestation of everything I need occurs beyond my wildest dreams. This Alignment is the Key in the Law of Attraction. From my perspective, when body, mind and Soul are aligned, when we are Vertically Aligned with our Soul, we are aligned with the flow of Universal Energy and it is this Flow that fuels the manifestation of our intentions.

Functioning within the habitual thought-swirls of the mind leads to several unfortunate mental states that spoil our lives. Self-awareness and listening to the movement of life can free us from those states and help us lead a peaceful life.

Awareness of our relationship to the child can help our inner transformation as part of our soul-search. It would also ensure that the child grows in an atmosphere of love unsullied by the grownup’s emotional attachment and self-interest. All in all, it is a sacred involvement. Perception

As you walk through your day, do you practice gratitude and grace? When things are going our way, this can be an easy task. When life is difficult or stressful, being grateful and being graceful about it can be quite the challenge. I notice that when things are running smoothly for me, I sometimes forget to be grateful. Often, I catch myself saying out loud, “Thank you” for the beautiful sunset or the new friend that I met.

People keep searching for peace and happiness by revolving within the content of the mind which is conditioned by circumstances and genetics and, consequently, very limited in its ability to perceive. True vision lies in the wider consciousness. The sequence in the wider field seems to be as follows: There is the expansive consciousness that may be called the Universal Consciousness. When it functions through the brain (which is the physical organism), it issues out a stifled form itself that functions as the mind. So, we can write:

In 1984, while inside the Great Pyramid of Egypt, I received, in the silence of my Soul, the Divine Plan for bringing forth Diamond Alignment, A Sacred Technology that effortlessly connects and aligns us with the deep Inner Peace and unspeakable Joy of the Divine Power, or Diamond Self Within.

Most people seek a spiritual goal projected from the content of their minds. They workout a system of their own or seek a religious or spiritual guru to lead them to the goal. They do not sense the inherent self-deception involved in this process.

Inner transformation of our minds is necessary to step out of the self-created prison caused by the habitual thought. Self-awareness and the associated wonderment bring about an inward journey that augments inner transformation. It helps us understand the near death experience (NDE) and integrate its messages with our inner evolution, leading to wholesome life.

The transformational state is based on pure awareness in the ‘Now’; the future is taken care of by that holistic state of mind. In contrast, paths to preset goals sustain the ego through expected fulfillments; the ‘Now’ is relegated as a mere passage.

If “Welcoming Change” is a theme you would love to integrate in your life you might be asking yourself, “How do I get there?” In the previous posts I’ve talked about how changing your thinking may change many other dynamics in your life. But, what about if YOU were the change? What would that actually look like, and what would happen in your life? Many clients I work with are initially looking to change the parts of their lives that aren’t working well for them. I

It is interesting to study the correlation between the messages of near death experiences and the pointers from ancient scriptures. Our confidence in the spiritual content of the afterlife experience increases when we find striking parallels between the two.

Most of us enjoy riding roller coasters because they're exciting. There's a rather fine line between excitement and terror, and if you've ever had a 'bad trip' on a roller coaster ride, you know what it's like to cross that line, but we actually like being a little scared, and that's really why we do it.

Understanding the roles of the intellect and of the intuition in our living can go a long way along the journey towards the truth and the associated inner peace. In the absence of this movement, slavery to belief systems will become inevitable. The intellect and the intuition in us have somewhat different roles to play in helping us move towards a holistic life. The associated perception takes us to the deeper being in us helping us lead our lives intelligently.

The most spiritual people I know don’t have to talk about spirituality to be spiritual. I sense them in the moment and their focus inspires me. I used to go to philosophical geniuses to satisfy that thirst, but now I find it in the people I love. Their expression of the heart directly talks to my heart without my intellect and associations intruding. It is as if I don’t exist when I am with them. Now that is a special gift. When I focus on my thoughts and intellect that is ho

Women are afforded the ease of starring in one of two big roles when it comes to relationships. The first being, the popular role of the damsel-in-distress, we've seen her before, bewildered pretty girl, dusty lonely road, insert flat tire, cue in dramatic music, swoon in handsome gent to the rescue. The second role, contrary to the first, would be the infamous 1980's Enjoli perfume girl materialized. She's the woman who can: bring home the bacon, fry it, freeze it, remix it, and even find a sustainable way to 'Go Green' with it and use it to save on the next big bill.

I sat down on the eve of 11.11 to write you this letter. This number is of significance for me because it means NOW...pay attention to the synchronicity. Something is being revealed to you. For others this is a day to remember all the people who have served the US armed forces. As these two dates converge with many imposed conflicts still existing around the world. I stand in gratitude next to this wise old tree in the great North West of British Columbia with confusion still running through my mind. I am continuously reminded of the peace and love has the potential to be embodiedrnr

I was my 30s with three young children and a holistic therapy career I loved when I found myself in the middle of a line of crashed cars and in seconds everything changed. I sustained some spinal injuries which exacerbated a pre-existing health condition and suddenly I didn’t know who I was anymore.

In the aftermath of quite a few near death experiences, the person gets cured of almost impossible medical conditions much to the amazement of the hospital staff. We look into some case studies and the possible inferences from them in this presentation.

Reflective people apply themselves to understanding the vagaries of life and it helps them move into deeper perspectives. Consequently, there is a sensing of the non-apparent aspects of life. They see that shocks in life have a message understanding which the shocks become unnecessary!

Paranormal phenomena like the near death experience and the out-of-body experience have brought to light the connectivity of all living beings and the feeling of oneness at their essence. Can we move towards that holistic awareness?

Most of the times, our life gets complicated by our own attitudes. To meet life’s challenges without being agitated is not an easy thing to do. In this connection, we learn something about the nonchalant disposition in life from the Near Death Experiences.

As the highway whisks me onward, I shake my head in despair. The DMV will be a zoo. It’s lunchtime...on a Friday...at the end of the month. Horrible. But I‘ve no choice. An hour ago, Bill found out he will be away on business all week. My license has to be renewed and I do not want to drag the boys along with me. Ugh.

The need for releasing oneself from the tyranny of thought is clear for those who embark on the inward journey. They begin to understand the natural by-products of that release, namely, life’s sacredness and its intrinsic purity.

When we widen and deepen our perspectives, our life moves towards serene waters. One such perspective is available through understanding Reinca ation. This creates an elbow room in one’s consciousness, leading to stable peace.

It’s Christmas Time – or ‘the holidays’ – or the Festive Season. Whatever you choose to call it, it’s a time of the year that has significance in our calendar. Robert Holden said that it’s a time when your life seems to come under a magnifying glass. You tend to ask questions of yourself and perhaps even have questions asked of you. Besides the practical questions such as “What are you doing for Christmas?” or “What do you want for Christmas?” there are the ‘bigger’ questions like, “What kind of year did you have?” and “Have you started thinking about what you want from next year yet?”r

Committed to Transparency...within the Living Food Industry ‘She’ has known Kipp for several years and has always applauded his willingness to go the extra mile to show full transparency with all of Essential Living Foods Products. His passion for telling the truth and commitment to quality makes it effortless for ‘she’ to recommend any of their products... Today ‘she’ was reflecting on the energy in Peru and Egypt and the medicinal energy of the olive.

'She' met Greg one winter evening in Westwood, California. During, a gathering of individuals discussing the possibility of manifesting and creating change for the betterment of humanity. Some might think their visions were all too lofty and beyond possibility...the room carried the vibration of transformation. After ‘her’ first conversation with two soul brothers...‘She’ looked at Greg, and thought, “I remember you.” He looked at her, smiled and then said, “You get it.” There were really no need for words just a mutual understanding for each other.

Functioning from the universal consciousness makes us go beyond the five senses. The messages from near death experiences help us understand such consciousness and bring about a holistic transformation in our psychology.

All that we have ever needed is within us. Yet, we often look outside ourselves for the answers to the questions that surface, as we step into this thing we call Life. Where did we ever learn to stop trusting our own intuition or our little voice that tells us secrets in the middle of the night? This distrust in our own wisdom and truth can lead us down the road of disillusionment and pain. So, how does one begin to trust their inner wisdom? One of the ways to start is to sit, be still, and listen. Allow yourself some time to get to know your inner self.

Last year, I received a satchel full of money on the front steps at my home. When that money arrived, I actually was out of town but my son called me and said “There was a lot of money left at the front door with a note.” When, I returned home I was touched by the note, which read, "Thank you for all you do for the world." I immediately placed all of this money into my sacred fun, which is used for those in need or service projects. I continue to replenish this fund with gifts from my sacred work-- when it brings gifts of monetary value the money immediately goes into a fund.

Life is like a palette of inspiration from which we can choose our personal preferences. We want to choose the people, activities even colors that are aligned with our inner Truth and allow us to shine. (Keep reading below the image.) That is what your energy and brilliance is about, being aligned with your inner Truth. When your personality merges with that essence you can really shine in the world. Energy requires clarity and focus to have the greatest affect and impact.

Pure spirituality is untouched by history and geographical location of people. Thus it is available to all humans irrespective of belief systems generated in history. The universality of pure spirituality beyond space and time is highlighted by many paranormal phenomena. Historicity is time-based and time-bound while true spirituality is ete al, uninfluenced by man and his mental conditioning. Thus, it is something to be discovered through inner awareness and wonderment - not to be found through conformity to history-based systems.

The feeling of sorrow, as different from sadness, can take us on to the beyond – the region of universal spirituality where man’s self-centered projections cannot thrive. Can we understand the beauty of that feeling and its deeply cleansing effects?

Fighting Fibromyalgia Researching this article the first description to appear on the search engine was “Fibromyalgia is a fairly common long-term (chronic) condition that causes widespread muscular pain. It is not inflammatory or degenerative so it won’t cause permanent damage to your muscles, bones or joints. It is not life threatening or progressive”.

Human beings have a tendency to cling to comforting and satisfying conclusions rather than be bold enough to acknowledge the truth. This attitude thwarts the journey of discovery in any field and, especially, in the realm of spirituality. A good historical example of this may be called the Cope ican Paradigm. This is the item in connection with the discovery of the solar system’s heliocentric characteristic. The Polish astronomer Nicholas Cope icus is usually credited with providing a systematic proof of the heliocentricity based on the retrograde motion of the outer planets.

Have you ever been in a situation which caused you to question how confident you are? What is confidence, when do we get it, how do we lose it and, most importantly, how do we get it back?

Self Love...Finding Your Inner Sanctuary Today, I embark on a journey inward and drive across the desert to find some solitude. Taking the time to commune with Self. Solitude ...one of the many vehicles, I like to drive in to find my center and reconnect with my landscape. Often times, we forget that our life will afford us the time to just “be” or take time to just “be” with self.

At True Nature Centre spiritual life teachers Elysha and Julie Sarah Powell offer inner peace and meditation. They give the spiritual gift of realizing who you are through inspirational quotes and spiritual growth products.
