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.

Many issues of life can function as our teachers if we adopt an attitude of looking into them with the eage ess to understand what lies beyond the apparent. Reflection on the sorrow at losing a near and dear one can lead to a life of compassion.

It'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?

I am lucky enough to be staying with relatives this week, in a beautiful house in the middle of the countryside. I am completely relaxed, have no demands on me and aside the odd bit of reading and writing I am happy to just Be. Yesterday I sank into the comfiest armchair, looked out at the stunning view and before I knew it 2 hours had passed in a haze of conscious contentment. I am feeding my body and soul with complete rest as that is what I need and deserve at the moment and I make no apologies for it.

Many people are unaware of how the issues of the society influence them and intensify their mental noise. This is where the psychological fabric of society functions as the culprit in the drama. Opinion mongering is an essential part of it. It is good to be aware of how our thoughts are influenced by the psychological spider web created by society. Freeing ourselves from it is not easy because of the fact that the practical aspects of our life are also fused with it. Through careful discretion, we can release ourselves from the spider web and bring about inner integration.

I love concerts in the park, watching dancing in an outdoor pavilion, or hearing a choir sing in the great outdoors. There is nothing like sitting on the grass being witness to those who have musical talent. I grew up in a musical family, I love all kinds from jazz and blues to rock to country. I played in the school band, but can honestly say, it was not a natural talent of mine.

When the psychological energy elements are in the helter-skelter form, they lack the synergistic effect. Healthy mental transformation can take place with synergism. Our noisy mental state, lacking polarization, fritters away the energy.

Manifestation of humanity and evolution commenced from India. Its focal point was Aryavarta. Aryavarta means where Rivers Ganga & Yamuna flow. In mythological tales it has been the land of Avatars and various missions. Himalayas is said to be the region of demigods. Its heart is Uttarakhand. In this very laboratory Rishis and people of penance advanced their soul force and made divine storehouses of the same. Heaven too is related to it. River Ganges from heaven manifested he

Understanding oneself is the secret behind stable inner harmony. It implies an awareness which helps us gain clarity of the way the conditioned mind functions. Here are some avenues for reflection that can lead us to that understanding.

Do you feel as though someone is chasing you? Do you feel like time is going so fast that you can’t get done what you need to get done in a day? You may not be so very far off what you are feeling. Time is speeding up. As the Mayan Calendar nears an end time is speeding up, and with it comes the ability to manifest much easier and quicker than ever before. Since we manifest what we think in each moment, it becomes very important to be careful of what you think. What you think you create.

What is Hypothyroidism?

Who am i? What is the purpose of my life? What am I best at? What should I do to shine my best? Learn to rightly yearn and ask the appropriate question from an astrologer about life. We all across this world have an inborn tendency to be more than eager to know about our future and this urge within us has actually dwarfed the science of astrology to mere predictions that may or may not withstand the actual test of time. These above lines may seem slightly erratic but they are

Awakening your Divine Potential while Raising Diamond Consciousness on the Planet Imagine tens of thousands of Lightworkers, Spiritual Healers and Conscious Beings across the globe coming together, in our Hearts and in our Higher Diamond Consciousness, to receive a Divine Diamond Energy Activation through the medium of cyberspace, which activates and aligns All with the Divine Power or Diamond Self Within.

The perceived “storm” for some might be visible outside of oneself when one reads the paper, searches the world wide web, looks at the “news” or has a conversation with family and friends. While, some of ‘US’ might become fixated on the outer self reflection; others are looking for stable ground while traversing their rapidly changing reality. These two dualities are very similar, they are merely a reflection of our inner and outer worlds. We might begin to scratch our head and say, ‘What is going on here? When will things settle down?’ rnr

Being exposed to so many things American most us know that this time of the year is celebrated with Thanksgiving in the US. This modern holiday traces its origins from a 1621 celebration at the Plymouth Plantation, where the Plymouth settlers held a harvest feast celebrating a successful growing season, after previous brutal winters. And now we know Thanksgiving as a holiday to express thankfulness, gratitude, and appreciation to God, family and friends for blessings of both material possessions and relationships. Giving thanks can be broken down into two aspects:

“Our biography is our biology.” (Carolyn Myss; “Why People Don’t Heal”) What does that mean? It means that the emotions that are unresolved in our life get buried deep within. These unresolved emotions work their way into our cells, our body, our brain, and our neural circuitry. If left unresolved, this may lead to disease, post traumatic stress disorder, depression, chronic pain, addictions and anxiety, to name just a few.

It is always rewarding to go through an intelligent bunch of worldly advice. Here we see one such bunch. It is followed by a hilarious spoof of the same. Both seem to have an input for those who wish to lead a cheerful life governed by wisdom.

Wholesome living implies certain seriousness about how we apply ourselves to the practical issues of life. At the same time, it is necessary that we be relaxed. How can we wisely combine these two to bring about healthy living?

Happiness......it’s a choice How many of us know a person a that is always down in the dumps, always complaining, and nothing ever seems to go right for them? Perhaps we knew them at one point in our lives and have since grown away from them. They were a great teacher for us, they were there for a reason. They may have brought us down at one point, but in essence they taught us about being positive.

The essence in all beings is a spark of the Divine and so, it is the same in all. It is not identified with any nation, race or religion. Thus, it is anonymous, like a tree in a forest. The awareness of this fact brings in universal love in human beings. The Ego-self and The True Self

Have you ever noticed how you feel so much lighter and happier after a few dances? Ever notice that people are in good moods and their energy is higher when dancing. There are a few reasons for that ,one being its all about energy movement, the other being that as adults we are allowing ourselves to have fun, something we don’t do often enough. The music also vibrates through our bodies moving even more energy around.

Why Cry? Who wants to cry? Why should we try to feel bad if we want to feel happy? The answer lies in the true meaning of Tisha B'Av, a solemn day that reminds us of what we are missing and expresses our yearning to attain something more.r

The answer to the question of all time is ‘LOVE’. What is the question? I hear you ask. The question is ‘What is the key to true happiness?’ We all strive to be happy. No matter what circles we revolve in, our main goal is happiness. Whether it is materialistic or ambitious our end goal is achieving something that makes us, as individuals, feel happy. Many people strive for perfection. But who is it that determines what perfection is? We all have our own ideals of perfection and aim for that and why? To make us HAPPY!

It has been known that some terminal patients report paranormal visions when they are close to passing away. A careful look at those reports can help us receive profound messages regarding what happens at the transition between life and the afterlife.

Throughout all of our lives we will say or do things that will cause great regret. These things may be said or done in the "heat of the moment" or while "temporarily suspended" from who we really are (i.e. under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol). The regret we feel may come instantly or it may come later after the realization of what we did hits us. What makes it worse is when we not only hurt ourselves but when we hurt those we love. Regret is a negative emotion that if

I recently saw a wonderful example demonstrating the limitations we experience if we live by perception and projection alone. I was reminded of how misguided and often, judgmental they can be. A member of the audience was upset at how one of the workshop leaders had spoken to another member of the group. This particular member responded, a little surprised, with the words, “It was me he spoke to, and I didn’t even notice what he said. I thought it was great!”

Sometimes I’m asked why people should pay for a Spiritual Technology such as Diamond Alignment. I love this question, because it gives me an opportunity to address a larger issue – which is money and Spirituality and money in general … the split in Collective Consciousness I have witnessed between Spiritual Wealth and material wealth.

Guilt is not a healthy thing to keep bottled up within you as you go through life, whether you think you have to hold on to it or not. Guilt is often the result of a refusal to accept that we make mistakes, we will all have failures and no one is immune to these facts of life. It is also important to know that guilt does not have to be negative. Guilt can create positive outcomes when it is used to correct something in your life that has gone wrong, or improve something that

Debbie Ford, who wrote the book, The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, has finished a movie called “The Shadow’. It was released June 26, 2009 and is available for purchase. It is a movie well worth watching. I have been following Debbie’s work for years and had the opportunity to meet her at the Chopra Center in LaJolla, Califo ia, and again at the Coronado Hotel in Califo ia. Debbie’s workshops focuses on that part of ourselves that we push away and that we are ashamed of. It’s that part of our self that we don’t like and try to hide.

Spirit-based Business through Diamond Energy Activation Sacred Business, a new paradigm being introduced into the business world, by Diamond Alignment founder, Jacqueline Joy, is business that is consciously fueled, both creatively and functionally, by Divine Energy, Diamond Energy. Diamond Alignment, a Sacred Technology, which delivers a 6-minute Diamond Energy Activation via the Internet, is a premier example of business that is Spirit-based.

Have you ever wondered why you feel compelled to do things or say things that you don’t want to? Have you ever found yourself overeating, dieting, drinking too much, spending too much money, procrastinating on things or isolating rather than socializing? If you would like to finally understand what makes you behave in ways you know are not good for you, and will ultimately cause you stress, you have to understand what you do and what you can do to begin to think, and therefor

I first separated from my, now, ex-husband around Thanksgiving in 2006. I knew something wasn’t right. I just wasn’t happy. I was actually, rarely happy. Don’t get me wrong. He was and is a marvelous, wonderful, generous, very handsome man. We rarely argued. He was good to me. Very good. But, something was wrong. Something was missing. I talked to friends….”It’s just a phase. You’ll get over it.” Okay, when? I continually wondered. When do I feel like me? When

It is interesting to note the way in which we cognize things and come up with feelings and emotion with respect to various items in the world. Understanding these from a wider field of Consciousness leads to confidence and peace.r

Awareness varies with people. The more advanced ones are able to perceive the hidden truths of life. This helps them organize their lives better and be compassionate to fellow beings. Evolution of consciousness is based on the deepening awareness. However, the majority is still held in limited awareness causing a lot of clamor between the individuals. It is good to examine this matter of limited and comprehensive awareness.

A Little Guidance for our Children We all want our children to have the best opportunities and experiences in life. We all want them to grow up to be intelligent well adjusted adults. It seems t hat everywhere you go and everywhere you look you come across someone who has the absolute answer to help us help your children achieve this. I have a few tips to share with you to add to your already overflowing tool box of tricks to help you through the rearing years.

Asking for help requires some humility. You cannot act like you have all the answers and ask for them at the same time. Perhaps this is why we create situations that will require this call for humility within us. The dictionary definition of humility is: the state or quality of being humble; absence of pride or self-assertion. We tend to think that we can figure things out on our own - in fact, when we do, we are proud of ourselves. And there certainly is merit in accomplishm

We are living in a world where there is a lot of contrast and division. Battle lines are being drawn and tempers are rising. As we break away from old paradigms, or ways of thinking, it creates separation and fear. It can be threatening and scary to move away from one way of thinking and perhaps entertain another way of looking at life. With our new administration we are being asked as a country to look within and find a way to shift our view, so that a whole new way of being can emerge. We are being called to put down our disagreements and shift our focus to finding solutions.

Effortful movements towards spiritual transformation sustain the habitual neurology and so dissolution of the ego does not take place. What can help are the two factors of passivity and inward non-action which move us on to a different dimension of awareness.

For many folks, this time in history is one of tremendous challenge and change. Many individuals are being forced to make decisions that they thought they would never have to make. The decision to sell a beloved home, the need to relocate in order to find work, adult children moving back home again or downsizing in order to pay off debts. Whatever one’s challenge may be, what if within that challenge was a blessing in disguise?

When we are walking down that dark alley in our life, our inner thoughts and launguage are most often those focused on seeking hope and light at the end of that alley. We never know when that dark alley is going to present itself in our lives. In fact some of us are able to walk through them without even knowing, others have so many to walk through, and sadly to say there are those who don't make it, thus creating a darkness for others to pass though.

This afternoon I put a jar of sweet tea outside to steep then ate fresh blueberries while staring at sunflowers that were on the kitchen table. It was idyllic to the point of feeling like a living greeting card. I was smack in the middle of what simplicity means to me and I felt deeply contented. Summer, in particular, is a time when I find simplicity at the heart of my days and wrapped around my soul.rn rnSimplicity–the word itself evokes tranquility, harmony, and ease. Th

Comes down to one thing...

Writing one of the fundamental means of communication. We use it to connect with family, friends, co-workers near and far. Communication is paramount to understanding, growth, peace, etc. We acknowledge that without communication the flow of life simple couldn’t exist. But what about communication and connecting with the inner self? In essence the inner self is the universal compass that guides and directs us from a deep wellspring of knowledge and wisdom. However, for some

During January I encountered numerous people in the throes of huge life change, such as:rn- changing or losing jobs - starting own businesses - babies born to first time parents On a much smaller scale, I joined a new, large gym and caught myself feeling slightly out of sorts about my first day there.

Have you ever noticed when life gets to be too much and you’re feeling overwhelmed and uninspired, how everything becomes difficult to handle? It’s as if life has lost its color and zest, and nothing looks promising. Negative self-talk becomes more pronounced, people seem rude and uncaring, and the world surely is headed towards disaster. Stress has a tendency to do that and during this time of tumultuous transition, it can be easy to get swept away with hopelessness. So how can this be prevented or at least halted before overwhelm takes over?

Remember the song from the 70’s, “Breaking up is hard to do!”? It’s amazing, how even though we may know that a relationship is not serving our highest good or meeting our needs, we can still hang on tenaciously hoping that something will change. That change may be that the other person becomes who we want them to be or that we may become the person the other one wants us to be. Either way, there is something out of balance with that belief. As human beings we are meant to be in relationships. It is our basic instinct to socialize and create bonds with those who we love.

People are looking for peaceful life from within the turbulence of the conventional mindset. This includes the religious practices too. Such peacefulness can only be temporary as they do not eliminate the fundamental cause of the disturbances.

Within a short space of time I’ve experienced two extreme contrasts. The simple family home life of a Cambodian Tuk-Tuk driver as well as the pomp and ceremony of the Mardi Gras in Sydney. The poverty and simplicity on the one hand and a lavish parade highlighting the need for human rights and equality.

Have you been trying to work with the law of attraction in your life, and it’s just not working? Are you wondering what is wrong with your thinking that you can’t do it? What is wrong with you, don’t you deserve to be happy like they say? Do you even get to the point where you feel good one day, then down in the dumps others and you wonder if you are bi polar? If so, relax, you are not alone, and you are not bi polar.

We often hear spiritual phrases like "escape from your mind" or "break free from your mind". Often the thinking mind that causes us suffering is portrayed to be something bad or undesirable. While in a way this is true, never treat your mind to be something bad. It is a fantastic teacher, if you know how to understand its teaching. The mind forces you to out of identification with it by causing you distress. You are forced to simply remain as the awareness of it.

Now, more than ever, we are being challenged to look at the areas in our life that are difficult. Be it financial distress, the loss of a job or a diagnosis of a life threatening disease, all of us, in some way or form are getting stretched with what doesn’t feel good. So how does one deal with adversity or hardship, and do it with grace? Ultimately, we are given a choice. Either we can struggle with what is or relax into the reality that so blatantly makes up the circumstances that one finds themselves in.

Whether we like it or not, we are our fathers, our mothers, our grandparents. No amount of denying, pushing away or ignoring will change that. How many times have we thought that if we move enough miles away or emotionally separate ourselves from our family, that somehow it will make a difference? That somehow we will be able to change the circumstance that we were born into? It’s amazing how much denial is spent running away from the truth of who we are.

One area that may be hampering peace in our lives often goes unnoticed. It is so engrained in our daily routine that we often don’t see it or realize it. In our quest to find peace and let go of the past, we tend to leave one string attached. That string is called JUDGMENT. Don’t mistake this with having good judgment. That is a positive thing in our lives. Analyzing situations and making good decisions is a true blessing. It’s when judgment becomes personal that we oft

The human mind has the tendency to be tethered to the past or future. In the process, it creates problems due to its anxiety and the like. Understanding the value of spontaneity helps us move into healthy psychology with its spiritual content.

‘She’ was flying back from a journey from the great Northwest...after taking a right of passage with ‘Self’. A Journey that has lead her to an understanding that this illusion has been co-created by all of ‘US’. The veils are about to be dropped in such a manner that will cause many to gasp and some will spontaneously return to dust. While, others will continue to hold steady ground for the collective whole. ‘She’ encourages everyone to dive deep into self and understand the depths of who ‘We’ are. ‘She’ transcribes this transmission on her tablet...

Our hectic lives today are filled with chores, errands, reminders and to-do lists, all meant to bring us the peace and contentment we continually seek. So, why do peace and contentment remain elusive and how can we get there? The answer lies in the most unexpected of places, a sacred place where few would think to look. There is no end to the desires of the mind and to the troubles to which they lead. Let us assume for instance that we wanted to buy something expensive. We ei

When our thoughts run along the habitual grooves driven by self-importance and self-interest, life gradually loses its intrinsic grandeur. Mediocrity, boredom and loneliness take over. Can we do something to step out of this rut?

I am reminded today of the fact that all we have is this present moment. We can’t be anywhere else than where we are right now. We can’t, by sheer willpower – in this moment -- make ourselves into something we are not. No matter how fiercely we may want to. Years ago, my heart was broken by a man who wanted something different, while I wanted him. An old story, indeed. I tried with all my will to alter that hollow feeling, that echo in my head of “he doesn’t want me

Do you review your actions at the end of the day? What answers do you get? Is there many things you wanted to get done and put off just because you thought you didn’t have time? This is common these days in the busy world we live in, we tend to say well I can always do that tomorrow. Sometimes these are small things, tedious things, but all to often they are the things that will truly make us happy.

I once heard a comment passed between friends ‘Just wait till you have kids of your own and you’ll be moaning about your husband like the rest of us.” Although the comment was said in jest, I was still a little surprised at it and wondered when we’d gotten so passive about our lives. • Surely just because some change occurs in your life, it doesn’t automatically mean you’re forced to settle for less elsewhere? • Surely life hasn’t become so linear that we can predict that because of one action, another one will occur? • Are all our lives the same?r

We seem to have become accustom to a world that is seemingly full of chaos and negativity. Our lives have been filled with news reports that seem to confirm to us that we have lost control of all the good in the world. It seems the older we get, the faster things change, the bar of good taste gets lowered, the youth get away with craziness. Or so it seems.

The human being is a coupled unit of the body and the mind. For a comprehensive well-being, their combined and interactive harmony should be considered. Neither of them can be independent in their wellness.

The Question Some esoteric questions can set us on a journey of discovery in the direction of ‘Know thyself’. One of them is related to this matter of freeing ourselves from the impact of society that corrupts our awareness. Can we fulfill our worldly responsibilities and yet not get threaded into the psychological fabric of society?

Our heads can play some pretty nasty tricks on us. Our minds are so powerful they can trick us into thinking this is what our heart wants, in fact we can go for years on this information. This can put us into some strange and hurtful situations. It is almost hard to believe that our mind can make us believe our heart is open, but it happens more often than you think.

Aside from the question whether we can answer this issue at all, I am convinced that all opinions about it are a matter of belief not of knowledge. Man falls inevitably into the realm of faith and beliefs, once we discuss this question. Followers of some churches speak of a purgatory, others of reincarnation, the rebirth, others of the paradise, the Garden of Eden, from the board of Allah, and much more. I personally think our existence, our ego in the form as we understand i

Many quarrels arise on account of insisting on one’s opinion being accepted or on demanding the approval thereof. It cannot be solved by controlling oneself but only by understanding the whole gamut of its genesis and expression.

“I lead a small life, but a valuable one. Do I do it because I like it – or because I haven’t been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of what I read in a book – and I wonder, ‘Shouldn’t it be the other way round?’” These are the words Meg Ryan sends to her online friend in the movie, “You’ve Got Mail”. I recently watched this movie again and this time thoroughly enjoyed it. New and open-minded eyes see things differently! The story of the movie continues in that Meg Ryan is forced out of business (a small, intimate bookshop) by a mighty empirical book chain-store.r

Our life gets enriched by paying attention to the paranormal phenomena because they tell us a lot about our place in the vast scheme of things. Stable mental peace results from that understanding. Exploration into the region of such phenomena can guide us on to the unknown, the region of hidden truths that the merely rational mind can never fathom. Here, we look into some aspects of the Out-of-Body Experience (OBE).

“Give thanks for a little and you will find a lot” - Hausa Proverb. In my early, dark days of first acquiring a disability I didn't feel I had an awful lot to be thankful for. It was like I had spent my whole life getting to the point where I had a thriving holistic therapy practice I loved, great friends provided an amazing social life, my beautiful dog who I would regularly take into the country for long walks and my adrenaline pumping exercise routine. Life was perfect. I had so much to be grateful for but then it was suddenly snatched away.

Ghandi wrote, “Forgiveness is choosing to love. It is the first sign of self-giving love.” True healing occurs when we have the courage to be present with all aspects of ourselves and move through the processes required to return to wholeness. In working with a diverse array of clients, I have found that often the most difficult step of the healing process is forgiveness. As difficult as it may be, forgiveness is necessary to free oneself from the painful emotions that ha

Your inner guidance is one of the most powerful, natural and intrinsic tools that you can use. Our inner guidance is our internal compass or GPS which effectively guides and direct us through life. It is sad to say that in our advanced society—countless millions fail to use the inner guidance systems to their best advantage so that they can live a life that they want. INNER GUIDANCE- A SYNOPSIS We all have, at one time in our life or maybe even in several stages of our life

First myth: Allowing for my emotions creates suffering.

SYNOPSIS: The article focuses in comparing the road of illusion with the road that leads towards Almighty GOD. The Highway connecting the cities consists of two roads. One is the ‘To’ road while the other is the ‘Fro’ road. Vehicles ply To and Fro in opposite direction. There is a road cut after every 15 - 20 kilometers from where we can change / reverse the direction of our vehicles. Similarly in human life too, there are two directions. One direction leads to illusi

After the biological evolution on our Earth, there has been a consciousness evolution. Part of this is reflected in the way human beings have been able to harness nature’s forces to their advantage. It can now go into the spiritual realm. Planetary consciousness evolution opens us to a grand vision of human development and meaning. We recognize the possibility of embarking on a new path of human journey- more creative, caring and vibrant than anything that has gone on in the past.

Destiny is an elusive issue. It is difficult to come to terms with it. That is what makes it interesting and challenging. Applying ourselves to this matter can help us bring about order in our life and move into an expanding awareness. Most people would like to get hold of their life and bring in some order into it. They strive hard in that direction but, more often than not, feel that they are unable to go far enough. Is there a way to alter this sad state of affairs?

The Need To Find Inner Peace In A Stressful World In these disquieting times when our stress levels are rising along with fuel prices, we may find ourselves feeling off, or imbalanced in some way… disconnected, discontented, disempowered, overwhelmed or confused. The winds of change are buffeting people about and stress-related illnesses are on the rise.

GROUNDING: It takes approximately 3 - 4 weeks of daily practice to "get" this technique once learned, you can ground anytime. Anywhere, in a matter of seconds. I also call this: awakening to the spiritual self. Prior to attempting to meditate, begin to practice the following: To awaken to the spiritual self that we are, we begin first by realizing who we are; we are spiritual beings having a human experience. We begin to learn to greet each other with the Namaste greeting. A

The journey into oneself is characterized by self-awareness and the eage ess to understand the basis for our unhappiness. It gives us the opportunity to transform ourselves into beings of unqualified compassion, deeply interested in leading a vibrant life.

Many of us are living, but are not really alive. We do not truly live our experiences, but perceive them only through the veil of past impressions, thoughts and concepts. We are more at home in our constantly analysing and evaluating thinking processes than in our direct sensations. And by so doing, we disconnect from the beauty and magnificence that life has in store for us. Joy, happiness, love, peace are all vibrations of our hearts, that want to be felt and experienced at each moment of our lives. But only rarely do we allow ourselves to be really happy and fulfilled.

On 9 – 11, I was experiencing my own 911. For years, I had attempted to push down my fears, traumas, grief, anger and resentments, only to find that my life was getting to be more painful to live. It was becoming harder to deny the deep feelings of emptiness and bitte ess that I was experiencing. On the outside, folks saw me as being confident, happy and well adjusted; little did they know that I was quietly dying inside. It’s interesting, how we think we know who each of us are. We can put on a mask or masks and pretend to the world that all is well.

Are you ready to receive in each moment who you truly are? Are you ready to receive each moment in the fullness of your being? Are you ready to receive everything you´ve once rejected, because you deemed it bad and negative and feared that it would turn you bad and negative? And are you ready to receive the bliss that you rejected, because you considered it too magnificent and simple to be true for you or because fear told you it wouldn´t last forever?

We have tremendous potentialities in our intuitive region. They generally remain untapped. The Radial Dive helps us bring them into our everyday life. Expansive awareness augments our mental composure and wisdom. The effects of Radial Dive are briefly explored in this article.

Meditation has different meaning for every person. For some of them it is simply clearing the mind and relaxing the body which gives you the feeling of peace and quiet that you need. During this process you create a pleasurable state of being and it is a way of escaping from the reality around you. For other people it means an extraordinary experience of alter state of reality. Basically, the meditation is a tool, used to cure sicknesses which exist only in our mind. But let’

Where is thy bowl? Capacitate to bear more & have as much as u want Sitting beside a shopping mall amidst thunder of a cosmopolitan city there was you; seemingly sluggish, unhappy & devoid of energy... internalizing and reprimanding the creator and self for not being able to accomplish all that you yearned so far. Complaints with it (creator) & self for not enabling yourself be understood to all those with whom you share the moments of affection and work. Those whom you alway

Let us start with a little query: Are you tired of struggling? Then let me ask you another one: who or what is causing you to struggle in your life? Though you may not be fully aware of it right now, you are the source of everything that happens in your life. And whatever causes you to struggle originates from you.

On this planet, we all go through stressful lives. In order to free ourselves from that situation, we have to look well beyond the conventional neurology. That departure can be quite interesting as it paves the way to freedom.

On October 22, 2009 the book, Overcomers, Inc. that I helped author, there were 37 of us, gained bestseller status. What an amazing day that was to officially say that I was a best selling author! I’m generally not one to “toot” my own horn but on that day I did and it felt wonderful. I had overcome my adversity or challenge of giving myself permission to proudly say to the world what I had accomplished and not feel guilty or self-righteous about it. Since that magical day, there has been a tremendous shift in how I view myself.

There is one day that I can never forget. The Rodney King trial and the Los Angeles race riots that soon followed. I can still see the image of Channel Six News helicopters scurrying the area, taking shots of a city in peril. Thousands of people were running around in the streets, buildings were set on fire, businesses were looted, and police officers worked to try and restore order and peace. Of course, it was absolute chaos. But chaos is only a temporary state of disorder,

When you find the self in lows; give the observance a chance to rejuvenate. There are moments in life when merely an anticipation of an unpleasant situation runs tremors into the entire body. Those are moments that draw out a fairly large portion of energy from us... they leave us weak as if we never could hold our physical structure intact. The brain seems to become totally inactive, the extents of the negative spell touch limits where ordinary movements of an arm or leg too

‘She’ climbed out of the car with Debbie, one of her beloved sisters, the frogs welcomed them to the gathering and the night sky began to glitter with cosmic light. They walked towards a large wooden door, the entrance to a Spanish style estate in Malibu, California.

How does one step into the holidays when life is tough? Perhaps there has been a loss of a job or a decrease in financial flow. Now, more than ever, it is important to practice good self-care during the holidays. It can be tough in times of difficulty to see a “silver lining” amidst so much loss. If this is true for you, I invite you to notice all the blessings that are in your life, and to start each day with an attitude of gratitude. The gratitude may be your breath or the covers that kept you warm during the night.

I have an addiction. A public addiction. I watch American Idol – despite being a few years (er.. decades) beyond the target audience. This may be justification, but the main reaso I enjoy it so much is seeing the personal transformation each individual goes through (Internally and exte ally) The seemingly ‘lost’ auditionee is seldom the same when he/she leaves the show once voted off. The winners and finalists have usually developed into ‘fuller’, more resilient people in awe of their life (and of themselves).

A time for change We are in an era of dramatic change and have the opportunity of a lifetime to change the course of mankind! Actually when you look really close change is happening constantly! So I say enjoy the ride! At least sit back and observe the changes and look beneath the covers and behind the stage. I see so many young writers on the verge of great discoveries and all they need to do is look deeper. See beyond the surface where great mysteries and miracles abide. The scientific mind is a curious mind and this opens so many doors.

There are many factors in life that can function as catalysts for letting the mind undergo fundamental transformation. Those who sense the poison behind the unconscious living soon discover these catalysts and move on to stable inner peace.

Now that we’re stepping into the holidays, it is very important to take extra good care of yourself. Have you noticed, that every year the holidays seem to get advertised earlier and earlier? This year I noticed that Christmas displays went up a day after Halloween. In previous years, I didn’t see any sign of Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving. Nationally, folks are experiencing a lot more stress this year because of the current economic situation combined with how to manage the holidays.

Lost Your Identity, Gain Your Freedom! So I had one of those scares this morning - I woke up and ALL of my calendar appointments were gone! It was devastating. I panicked, wondering what I was going to do, and then began the scramble to get it all recovered from my back up. Fortunately, it was almost all there and the rest could be easily recovered. Whew! Time for a bunch of deep breaths and a brand new grounding connection to the earth. In retrospect, I could see the humor

More than 50 years ago, Bert Hellinger coined the phrase systemic constellation work. It is a type of systems work that focuses on the soul of the family, of an individual, of a Universal consciousness that has us, we don’t have it. We are all born into a family that has a collective conscience, or soul. And with that come both blessings and circumstances, or fate that we carry from generation to generation. Unless there is resolution with the circumstance or burden it will continue to be pasted on from one generation to another.

Ideas and dreams flow through us naturally, we don't have to do a thing to get great business or personal life ideas. Well, ok, we do have to do something, we have to listen, we have to be aware of our senses and gut feelings.

What if I told you that there are things you believe to be true about this world and they are not? One evening in my young life changed my world forever. Things and people in my life have never been the same. I had a dream once that I was not from this world. Who I truly am, is not who I thought I was at all. In this dream I was a princess from a different world. I came here to learn and teach what true unconditional love is. Loving people for who they truly are and not for w

Do you practice having an attitude of Gratitude or an attitude of Hopelessness? Noticing which emotion feels more comfortable is a way to start refocusing on how you view your world. It’s amazing how we chose to look out into our world either with a cup half full or a cup half empty. The choice is always ours, yet at times, it can feel as though we don’t have a choice. Sometimes it can feel like the world is out to get us and that the circumstances outside of us dictate how our life unfolds.

What if you are more than your story of who you think you are? Have you ever wondered who you would be, if you put down your story? These words can sound like a puzzle, confusing and convoluted, yet this is the way many people live their lives; from a story of who they think they are. This story is our ego, often made up of faulty beliefs and misconceptions. I have had the opportunity to be trained in a variety of different healing techniques that challenge, in a gentle way, the image of who we think we are.

During this holiday season, I invite you to extend yourself to family and friends who may be experiencing more stress than usual, by offering a helping hand or listening ear. This time of year commonly brings more stress than other times of the year, and this year especially many are experiencing more stress than usual. How can you help? First by taking good care of yourself and second by offering the greatest gift that you have, which is your undivided attention when you are spending time with someone.

As we shift into a whole new way of being, many of us are being called to look deep within and uncover the hidden treasures of insight, wisdom, and inner knowing that have been slumbering within us. Now is the awakening of our full potential as we release and surrender to situations that are at times creating havoc within our personal lives. These clever situations come in the form of losing a job, a life threatening illness, or the loss of a relationship.

Meditation can be more effective if you hum. What to hum, generally means an ‘Ohm” on the same pitch. I have come up with a different hum, which I call “inner song”. What makes this more effective for me, is that it comes from my natural voice. The pitch is based on the way I say certain words. I decide on a word or a phrase that works for me in meditation, such as “I Love you”. Actually, what ended up working for me was the whole sequence from Ho’oponopono (I'm

Two monks were getting ready to cross a river when they spotted a fair damsel crying on the river bank. On enquiry, they learned that the lady in question also needed to get across but bemoaned her inability to do so, saying she did not have the means to cross the river without getting wet. The older monk, around 60 years of age, decided to carry the lady on his shoulders. Now we all know that monks are religious creatures, or are supposed to be. And the younger monk communic

We have all come across difficult people in our lives and it is inevitable that there will be more in our future. We can’t control how they act, but we CAN control how we REACT to them. Let’s first talk about strangers. I can recently recall someone who cut me off in traffic and another who didn’t hold doors for me at a store as I was trying to maneuver my stroller through two cumbersome doors. I allowed myself to get upset briefly, but I shouldn’t have allowed myself

Where we come from before we incarnate—Home--love is all there is. Love is energy, and it is the energy that is given to us from the Creator to support and sustain us. Because there is only love where we came from, it would be impossible for us to fully understand what love is. So we come here and borrow these bodies in order to experience the lack of love. It’s an interesting game we have created to assist us in this learning, and these “borrowed” bodies make us thin

Today (May 31st) is officially ‘Quit Facebook Day’ - and with Facebook continually in the media gathering the popularity (or notoriety) that it has, I’ve started to wonder what it’s really all about. Facebook, being everywhere, is now part and parcel of our society today. Most organisations and people want you to ‘befriend’ them or ‘like them’ (with the ‘fan’ option no longer being available!). The power and influence of social networking can no longer be denied – and Facebook seems to be the Big Mamma. It was launched in February 2004, by Mark Zuckerberg.

The personal development industry has grown in the last number of years. More and more people are starting to understand the importance of “growing yourself in order to grow your world”. Many aspects of personal development work are designed around WHAT you want in life. You’re encouraged to set goals, create vision boards; keep a cheque for $1 million dollars in your wallet and so forth. Is Personal development work being translated into being successful? And does success always involve money? Or is success whatever you want it to be? Could it be called wellbeing?

We are a pretty bunch, us humans aren’t we? We like to look good, sometimes at a very high cost to not only to our wallets, but to our bodies as well. Looks have become so important in society, showing the distinct “culture” you belong to. There are so many looks to chose from, so many styles to fit into. Is it really necessary, is it a true indication of who you really are? I think not. After all we are not what we have, we are not what we do, and we are not what we wear.

After spending three weeks in Vietnam and Cambodia a single word that really stands out for me is contrast. Contrast within each country as well as to ours. Travelling in a group of course also presents contrasting personalities. I took this opportunity (and there always is one) to learn from others.

Did you ever have someone bully you when you were a school-aged child or as an adult? Maybe they put you down because of your looks, your family, where you lived, what you wore or your grades, causing you to feel badly about yourself. There could have been different ways you handled them; from getting back at them in various creative ways or getting away from them somehow. rn rnUnfortunately there are those bullies that hurt us on such a deep emotional level that they linger

So many people in this world are afraid of death! And it is mainly for the fear of the unknown. How and what will it be like, when one passes through the time before, during and after the death?rnHow will I die? What will the process of death be like - would it be painful or will it be an easy death? When will death happen? Would I be in a dependant state then, amidst a long term illness, or I would be hale and hearty, moving around independently? Where will I go after death?

Everyone seems to feel the affects of a full moon. Some people appear very restless and uneasy. Others feel energized. Somehow the energy of the moon calls us to pay attention so we may transform and grow. Since ancient times, people have gathered and prayed during this time as they honored the energy of the moon. Native Americans call her Grandmother Moon.

Wanting to impress people with their assumed humility, human beings may take on a posture of freedom from their ego. This is pious egoism. Its tricky ways can keep us arrested in its deception. Those who wish to expand their spiritual vision understand this deceptive tendency in the human psychology. Self-awareness can help us dissolve that tendency.

What happens to us in life is very much a reflection of our mental states. While a calm and collected approach to meeting the issues of life can quite often ease us through the problems, an agitated mental state is likely to complicate matters. It is good to understand the link between our mental states and how the circumstances in our life shape themselves. The loving application in that direction can move us towards healthy and vibrant living.

Paying attention to wise instructions with regard to practical matters is part of good living. In the area of spirituality, however, freeing oneself of all Dos and Don’ts is necessary in order that the ego is prevented from continuing its involvement.

In my years of practice, I’ve noticed that most people spend about 90% of the time with their thoughts in the past and the future and only 10% in the present. We fall into this habit often without even realizing it. The human mind has a unique propensity to relive and ruminate on the past and to worry or fantasize about the future. The problem is, all of our power, our ability to heal, and our potential to create the life we desire lies solely in the present. In my work, I

I am sure you have heard the phrase “just take a deep breath and calm down.” This common technique of breathing to calm one’s self is more powerful and significant than one might think.

With each one, enact your experience with a focus on how you would be breathing. 1) You are sitting in rush hour traffic, inching along.rn2) You are giving birth to a newborn child.rn3) You are riding a rollercoaster.rn4) You ar

Peace must first be created within ourselves, then gradually expanded to include our families, our communities, and ultimately the universe. We must walk according to the highest light we have. Now is the time to journey inward and come to the realization of our essence... who we really are. Finding inner peace may be cultivated by prayer, meditation and knowing oneself. Through inner peace, genuine world peace can be realized.

There is a lot of confusion and lack of care in the world today leading to human unhappiness. Though many explanations are given for that state of affairs, the messages from Near Death Experiences provide a gateway to radical transformation.

One of the best things that I have ever done in life is to go within. Since doing this a whole new treasure trove of wisdom and fulfilment has found me. Don’t get me wrong I still encounter life’s challenges from time to time, but they now don’t seem as challenging as I am in the knowing that no matter what happens it is more than likely happening for a greater good in the long run.

What’s happening in your life? – Become an ‘Observer Self’ Most of us live busy active lives and we go through our daily routine without really thinking about what’s really going on in our lives until something happens to make us be more aware. It could be a very happy event or a sad event that makes us take a look at what is happening in our life.

Costochondritis is inflammation in the joints between the cartilages of the ribs and is often the cause of chest pain, (although it can also cause pain in the back). Cartilage attaches the ribs to the ste um (breastbone) and the ste um to the clavicles (collarbone). The joints between the ribs and the cartilages are called costochondral joints, and those between the ste um and clavicle are costolalvicular joints. Costochondritis is an inflammation of either, or both of these.

A few years back, I shared a story about my travels through Italy which included the memories of the many gifts I received after I lost my yoga mats, a hand made yoga bag from India and a sacred flute. (Celebrate the Abundant Universe) Recently, while meditating I made another wish for a flute exactly like the one I lost. I have been searching for a new flute since I left Rome two years ago. My children even bought me a replacement to pacify my deep yearning for my lost flute.

When we look at our current world we see corruption, poverty, greed and separation. The only way to change all that is to create a new world with a system that supports all living beings equally. We need a system that unites all people! That helps people understand that we are all one. We are in this world together and we can only change it for the better together. When we look at what heals us and what makes us truly happy then deep down we all know that the answer to that question is love. Deep down we all know that love is the answer to our problems.

A friend of mine takes her two-year old daughter to dance classes on a Monday. Reports are that although she’s not particularly good at dancing, she loves the activity and the classes. She lets herself do whatever she pleases on the ‘dance floor’ and laughs at herself. My friend gets just as much joy out of watching her daughter move awkwardly, but joyfully amongst the other toddlers. I have a number of clients who have reached a stage in their life with questions of “What now?” or “There must be more to life, surely?”

Deep dreamless sleep can result from a mind that is quiet during the day. It cannot come through controlling the mind but only through self-awareness in which one functions as an affectionate bystander to oneself. Looking Inr Noctu al dreaming is a natural process that we all go through. There are many interesting things about it, not only with regard to the mundane matters but to the philosophic and esoteric issues as well. Here we look into its implications with regard to inner awareness and understanding.

A match stick puzzle can alert us to the point of waking up to new dimensions in our philosophic outlook. This is brought out by Gina Cerminara in her scholarly writing supported by Edgar Cayce’s readings on past lives of human beings. There is a dimension of awareness outside the conventional state of mind and its conditioned responses. Those who sense that esoteric dimension move towards a natural spirituality and drop all institutionalized practices driven by the ego. The associated inner freedom can take us on to a non-verbal contact with life and the afterlife.

As we grow up, life in this world becomes a complicated rigmarole. It needs simplicity in our approach to understand it. This is where the total inward resignation can help. It is a matter of deep relaxation without adopting any psychological posture. Standing Alone

Weight loss. It’s a billion dollar industry, the vain of many women’s existence and a very emotional, vulnerable place to be. Over 80 millio Americans are looking to lose weight on any given day. 99% of them won’t keep the weight off they lose, and the 1% that do, are able to do so because they not only made changes to their eating habits, but they changed their lifestyle and thinking as well. In other words they chose (consciously or not) to go through a personal transformation inside and out.

A grudge is defined as “deep-seated animosity or ill-feeling toward someone or something.” We can develop this feeling when someone says or does something that hurts us or they receive something we feel we should have gotten. That happens to us almost every day in the workplace. At work we’re each trying to get our needs met – for approval, for achievement, for social interaction – while also working to accomplish the goals of the business. When we accept a job and

“She” arrived at a small boutique in the lower Gibson’s, located on the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia. It was a cool and crisp evening and the sun was beginning to set. The store, Costal Creativity, welcomed “She” and “He” in and presented itself as a playful stage for the creations of local artists. As “She” entered, a large tree like structure filled with these expressive hats captured her attention. The variety of textures and colors created a canopy of fanciful head adornments. “She” intently studied each hat, wondering which one would come home with her someday.r

General Debra Diamond has done a remarkable job of presenting some salient aspects of the Near Death Experience (NDE) through her book ‘Life After Near Death’. The book deals with a topic that is sorely needed today for transforming humanity from its shallow awareness to higher levels of perception. Debra’s book takes people into an esoteric region beyond the conventional outlook of human beings governed by their habitual neurology. Thus, only those willing to leave the ken of the merely rational mind can appreciate the profundity of her presentation.

Contrary to some skeptics’ assessment, the near death experiences carry profound spiritual messages to humanity that can transform the individual and the collective. In this article, we see their implications to people who have different dispositions in life. General

Ever since Maharishi Mahesh Yogi inaugurated the Transcendental Meditation movement in 1958, he started each year with a week of silence. Those of us who worked at the international level of the organization or who were in a residence course facility also took a week of silence. This tradition has continued since Maharishi’s passing. A Relief to Unplug I’ve been fortunate to take the week of silence almost every year since 1975. Some people can’t imagine not talking for

By being able to understand and appreciate the truth of reinca ation, we move on to the vaster consciousness that helps us absorb hidden and unexpected truths. One such truth is the matter of Parallel Selves. Many case studies have come up.

The proliferation of the intonation Wrens sounding off The dew collecting on their chests The darkness swallowing the reverberations Dispelling the noise to the mountain tops Where the hawks circle The gate keepers to heaven’s doors A bolt of lightning pierced her heart Stamping her with an impression Crushing her into a million parts She screamed for redemption While the rumble from the thunder Shuddered her limbs spilling chills Into the valley of blunders with euphoric, orgasmic shrills.

Human beings don’t think much about their last hour before leaving this planet. If they care for it at all, they give in to some religious promises rather than rely on their own awareness and discovery. There is good scope here for reflections.

Take a moment to think about your life until now. Has your life gone through cycles? Well you are going to find out and maybe experience a few 'Ah Ha' moments when doing so. Just as the universe has the universal law of attraction that is relevant to us all, it also has the law of cycles.

It is good to observe how we burden ourselves unknowingly due to the habitual neurology. The fear of life and the fear of death arise due to living with that burden. It is possible to drop that burden and live with freedom. Deepening self-awareness and the non-conformist attitude help us in this regard. It is possible to meet life with a free flowing psychology and, hence, spread serenity inside and out. This takes place by expanding our awareness onto the non-conventional regions outside the egos’ playground. By the way, one moves into the deeper self.

People fall prey to conditioned responses unknowingly. As a result, their reactions to others become robotic. They can release themselves from this sad state of affairs through transcendence brought about by simple self-awareness towards inner freedom. That would lead to discovering natural spirituality.

This is a love story about Phil and his wife. If it provides encouragement for anyone who has lost a loved one, I give gratitude to God and the Angels. Before telling this story, it might clarify things if you knew how I became involved with the Angels. My relationship with the Heavenly Host came about from my seeking to overcome childhood trauma, extreme depression, workplace stress and chronic illness. The journey took many years. After arriving on the other end of my tunn

We all come to know about ourselves through our relationship – relationship with people, with other living beings and even with the inanimate things. Bringing in our self-awareness into this aspect of life, we can transform ourselves spiritually.

As I get feedback from my Meditation Students, I understand more how each individual 'works' and that a step-by-step procedure that is a bit cookie-cutter like but has room for flexibility seems to be the most effective to get rid or at least reduce the 3 A's.

Once we can become the 'Observer' of these emotions bubbling up from deep down and recognize them, we ar

Gifting of the Flute... ‘She’ had taken her kids and 27 star children flutes to the Grand Canyon to have a little ceremony for her brother who just transitioned. This was one of the locations he had thought of to have his ashes laid to rest. He had never made it to this location in Arizona; however, ‘She’ found it very curious that in his final days he was starting to have dreams of the point of emergence which is located in the Grand Canyon.

To lead a meaningful life requires the understanding of its lofty purpose and our little place in the vast scheme of things. The messages from near death experiences (NDEs) go a long way in helping us perceive the sacredness of life – and the sacredness of death too!

The understanding of reinca ation leads to perspectives on many hidden issues of life so that our vision expands. As a result, the outlook on one’s life also expands helping us treat everyone and everything on earth with respect and dignity.

‘She’ woke up suddenly and felt the call from the Hopi to come to Hopi Land in her solar plexus. Then, ‘She’ received a call from ‘He’.

True serenity takes place through a reflective approach and understanding rather than through psychological analyses or through being a conformist. Thus, the puzzles of life give us a chance to discover the hidden roots of serenity. Happy is he who applies himself to them!

The Power of Simplicity There is a difference between simple and easy. The greatest things in life are all about simplicity. The most powerful recipe for manifesting the life of your dreams is also the simplest and consists of only two words: Be yourself.

We have been bombarded with stories since the day we were born. Some stories make sense and are relevant to our lives. Some are so old and out of date and make no sense in today’s world. Some stories are beliefs that people who had influences in our lives believed. Some can propel us forward, while others can become our engrained limiting beliefs that block us from success in different areas of our lives.

The dissolution of the robotic response of the human brain is necessary to understand the hidden aspects of life and the afterlife. Such dissolution can be called the psychological death. It leads to wholesome and holistic living. Ending of the ego can be considered as a matter of psychological mortality. This is not usually recognized as a transformation that can take us beyond the purview of the habitual mindset. Exploring into that region brings about a life of higher order than that of the neurotic one in which the vast majority of people is caught currently.

Ups and downs in life are a part of the human existence and cannot be avoided. The question is, are we going to lose our peace of mind and become unstable as we face these highs and lows on the roadway of life? Or is there another way? If we let ourselves become affected by everything that comes our way in life, we will feel as if we are on a perpetual roller coaster. We will move from the heights of ecstasy to the depths of despair and back to ecstasy again from one moment t

In general, there are three major responses to esoteric issues in the field of spirituality. They are represented by three groups: the believers, the skeptics and the explorers. It is good to be aware of the mental proclivities of these groups.

A Women’s Spiritual Retreat is a type of pilgrimage, a sacred jou ey, that you take when you need to get away from daily stresses, and at the same time, have a deep yearning of self discovery and desire for greater awareness and connection to our Source. Like any pilgrimage, there is the unknown and this adds excitement to the jou ey. The retreat becomes a venture forth, a step into the unknown. Even if you have been to one before, each retreat has its own personality, form and transformative qualities that make it new, unique and memorable.

ACCEPTANCE: The ability to accept yourself as an individual, to accept other people as they are and to comfortably receive things, thoughts and feelings from others. It is the ability to see yourself and accept yourself as an essential part of the environment. I'm sure you know how important it is to love and accept yourself. So why is it that so many of us find it hard to accept ourselves just as we are? We tend to criticize and judge ourselves and in turn judge others. If

Gratitude in and of itself can completely transform our lives. Gratitude has the power to dissolve our anger, shift our perception, and replenish our energy. In a matter of moments, being grateful can take us from a state of helplessness, to a state of hope, and gradually to a state of joy. While gratitude works wonders in our lives, it’s up to us to initiate the process and to practice being grateful on a regular basis. The following five exercises can help us maximize the benefits of gratitude:

I don’t have to think twice when it comes to wondering why I don’t like going into grocery stores at this time of year. Back to school junk food products seem to invade almost every isle.

Fraught with problems from many sides, millions of people are living with unhappiness. Books like “10 Steps to Happy Living” help a little but cannot bring about a radical change. Reflective people know that the robust solution lies elsewhere. It is a matter of shedding all the burden that the mind accumulates in its attempt to reach happiness.

It is good to explore the difference between exerting effort and applying oneself to something. The clarity that comes from that understanding can help us lead a peaceful life. One can then move on to sensing the deeper aspects of living on this planet.

During the beginning of my pregnancy, Jimmy started to lose his eyesight. He lost weight and moved in and out of the hospital. I tried to breathe words of hope into his heart. Simultaneously, I was pulling away from him. I was afraid of not being able to survive without him.

Why it is important to embrace life’s spiritual struggles “If there is no struggle, there is no progress” Fredrick Douglass It is really important to embrace life’s struggles.

Research on near death experiences (NDEs) have revealed many amazing aspects of our Deeper Self. Because people live oblivious of it, their personal life gets governed by the ego. This leads to mediocrity in life and to the self-importance that destroys harmony in oneself and others. The International Association for Near Death Studies (iands.org) has collected a fund of information on NDEs and comes up with its research outcome periodically. This article is based on its current report. Many useful lessons for life are there in it. Salient Messages

Does it? After traveling to a small farming community, I witnessed the value and power of the barter system. The exchange of physical goods and services are keeping a small town moving forward. Which made me think of all the clothes, extra computers, and unopened boxes that are collecting dust in my attic. These are wasted resources and we all have them. I encourage you to start to think about what you have to exchange personally and professionally.

What if we have more control over peace and conflict than we realise? I believe that we, as a species, have a very good knack for "talking the talk" but not so much "walking the walk". We can affect the world's dynamic and rhythm so easily through our words and actions. You'd think we'd be more careful. We focus on the major conflict but do very little in regards to the minor conflict that is apparent in our daily lives. We are taking two steps forward and one step back each

Our wellbeing results from expansive perception of the palpable and the hidden truths of life. The field of reinca ation is one such area that can help us evolve into the region of higher intelligence that unifies humanity and brings about their vibrant living.

Everywhere we look we see the color green. From the color of nature to the color of the paper that we earn for our hard work. Colors are believed to influence the way we feel and even our actions. Take yellow for an example. Yellow is a happy color. Yellow represents joy, friendship and wisdom. When we imagine someone being sad or depressed, the first color that usually comes to our mind is black never yellow. Like yellow, the color green also has its meaning and effect. It i

Messages from paranormal phenomena can take us into the realm of the unknown, the Beyond. To receive the messages, one must listen and remain without judging. That means one should not fall a prey to the usual tendency of being a believe or a non-believer.

I started writing this article on the drive down to Busselton for the Half-Ironman event this weekend. Being the day before the event, the conversations in the car milled around the usual topics that pre-race jitters bring up: training dramas; personal timing; event pacing; food need before and during the event; the respective cut-off times and tips for doing the quickest transitions… A group of us travelled in convoy and this has reminded me of my running days of old – travelling to the larger events away from home.

Why does God allow dark forces to exist and cause us trouble? Because without dark forces, there would be no growth, no building up of our strength, our courage, and our truth. We have to have something to test our faith, strengthen our faith, and keep moving us forward. Okay, here’s the rub….when does this friction stop? When do you become the pearl? How do you know when you are ready to be a pearl and no longer need the friction of dark force attacks on you to help you

Our lives can be enriched by paying attention to the wider consciousness beyond the limited cocoon within which our habitual mind revolves. We get a glimpse of its greatness by looking into the descriptions of Oneness in that pervasive awareness.

Life on this planet is influenced by many factors. Human beings are primarily driven by their habitual neurology but they remain unaware of how they are captured by it. A release from that neurology can move us a great deal towards living vibrantly.

So much of my life has been spent worried, stressed and anxious about what and how other people perceive me to be. A constant question has been, do I live up to their expectations? Little thought was given to how I felt or how I was actually doing or feeling.

The vibrant river waters are alive. A river in flood overflows the banks and forms pools of water which later get delinked from the river. The stagnant pool water slowly gathers all kinds of scum and forgets its onetime vibrancy. Is there a message?

Within each of us there is a part of our character that gives us the strength to stand up in this world. The part that is often referred to resiliency giving us the ability to survive various life circumstances that are difficult to manage at times. I have the pleasure of working with individuals who seek my counsel when the challenges they are facing are too much to bear.

Avoid being ripped off... Anyone who is reasonably sensible is aware that there are people out there who would cheat you given half a chance. The thing is to know how to prevent them. So how do you know when an offer is a scam and when it is genuine? Simple. When there is a lot more in it for them than there is for you. Think about each offer logically. I recently had someone telling me he was a well qualified builder, very popular, had a huge business before he moved yet off

There has been a lot of media coverage on the “Occupy Wallstreet” situation. It is good to see citizens standing up and speaking their truth. Do you remember the people of Wisconsin standing up last year. It’s about time we stood together on what we care about, and I don’t see that this will be the last of it. This type of energy and awakening has been building over a few years now and will continue to build. We must keep one thing in mind though, we helped create the monster being protested.

My motto: Keep it Simple. When I go into any bookstore or online I see all the varied information and ideas about Spirituality. I’ve attended workshops and seminars that presented similar messages in different ways and styles. How did I know what to believe? It really was very simple. Each one of us is unique, hearing and observing from our own point of view. There is no right or wrong way. We have the opportunity to discern for ourselves what feels true and good in our hea

The word ‘freedom’ takes on different meanings to each of us. We can think of the freedom we have in our countries or in our daily lives. We can think of our freedom to create the kind of life we want. We can think of the freedom to make choices. There are many reasons we want freedom in our lives. The Webster dictionary describes freedom as “the stare of being free; personal liberty or national independence”.

I never knew Michael Jackson personally but like many of you, felt I knew him because of his lyrics and my love of his music. When I was a young girl growing up I worshipped him. I wanted to sing like him, dance like him, be as famous as him. I loved how he expressed himself through words and with his body. He seemed so free to be himself. As time went on and he changed his appearance and his demeanor became more inward, I realized he was far from free. In fact, he was living

Body is nothing more than emptiness,emptiness is nothing more than body. The body is exactly empty,and emptiness is exactly body. The other four aspects of human existence --feeling, thought, will, and consciousness --are likewise nothing more than emptiness,and emptiness nothing more than they. All things are empty: Nothing is born, nothing dies, nothing is pure, nothing is stained, nothing increases and nothing decreases. So, in emptiness, there is no body,no feeling, no thought,no will, no consciousness. There are no eyes, no ears,no nose, no tongue,no body, no mind.r

The research on Near Death Experiences (NDEs) over the recent decades has brought in significant awareness regarding the afterlife. That leads us to ask a probing question regarding the preparedness to meet the afterlife. It is an exploration that can enrich our lives.

What do you choose for yourself today? The Definition of Choice is: the cognitive process of making a decision. Freedictionary.com Making choices can be difficult for some people. Maybe because we have so many options open to us all in this day and age and many of us fear not making the right decision. Most people know that it is through the choices that we make in the now they manifest and determine our future. That can seem quite overwhelming for many of us, me included.

Many years ago I moved from my apartment into a rental home quite a distance away and was feeling kind of isolated…it was peaceful, but far from my friends and social network. I would get a bit fearful at times, so I would say some prayers, ask the Universe to support and protect me and my home and my kitties, and so on. One day this question popped into my head as was I going through this process, and an inner dialogue ensued that was life-changing: ”Who are you talking

People fall prey to conditioned responses unknowingly. As a result, their reactions to others become robotic. They can release themselves from this sad state of affairs through transcendence brought about by simple awareness to inner freedom. The writer was exposed years ago to the matter of mental conditioning by the messages of a few Enlightened Masters. That brought in an inwardly moving self-awareness in him. As a result, some obsessive-compulsive reactions which were trying to enslave him were washed away.

As our spirit awakens throughout our life, we begin to realize that there is something ‘beyond’ our normal humanness that is influencing and guiding our lives. We can deny it, but somehow it keeps revealing its presence to us in many ways. As we begin to accept that we have spiritual guidance in every moment of our lives, our lives change and we gain courage and strength to create the lives we truly desire. Our spiritual Source holds the key to awakening our expanded being. It is through spirit that we evolve and manifest our true potential.

Shame is an energy, something that we can feel and relate to, but we are not born with it. Shame at is foundation is made of ideas about ourselves that we took on and absorbed through the course of our lives. The essence of these ideas is always self-judgment: we judge ourselves or a part of ourselves to be wrong and false.

With a creative change in our outlook, we can appreciate the fact that life is indeed a friend. With that shift in our mental disposition, our life circumstances would change to the better and improve our confidence and love of life. Life on this planet is hard. It is made harder by our own mental disposition. Most people seem to approach life with a defensive shield. Can we be friends with life and, in turn, let it carry us affectionately in its bosom? Sounds great, but how does this happen? Enthusiastic exploration in that direction can be interesting and transforming.

Ciao Ciao, A small gift to all of you...as we have collectively been traversing through rnthe most transformational time of our collective existence together on this rnplanet. We have every opportunity to transform the many realities that are lookingr US square in the eye with great grace, love and beauty. I have been creating these meditations in service to reconnect US to the rnpower of sound, mantra and visualization to help US adjust and realign ourrnfrequency that we carry on a daily basis. We have been tested in so many ways that it can be hard to keep our

A number of months ago, while duty-free shopping at Singapore airport, my husband said to me, “Choose yourself some perfumes. I’ll buy them for you.” “How many?” I responded excitedly. “Whatever you want,” he casually responded browsing the aisles. Greedily I grabbed a basket and started piling it with my favourites, even engaging a shop assistant to introduce me to new items. As my basket filled, I looked down at them and wondered, “Why do I need so many?” and even more incredulously, “Why do I need them all NOW?”

Feeling free to dive into your life with great joy is liberating. Feeling resistance because you are scared of not getting it right, looking goofy or worse yet, getting hurt is not a great edge to stand on. “Being an ever-ender” is a phrase I coined about standing on the sidelines and not fully participating in your life. It’s painful not to have the confidence or courage to do something that will fill your heart’s desire.

We all live with some type of fear in our daily lives, we don't always know it's there, or that it controls our thoughts, but it's there. There are healthy fears that keep you safe, like the fear of getting burnt, which keeps you a safe distance from extreme heat. The fears I am talking about are the illusions in your heads, even the ones you have at a subconscious level and are not even aware of. The ones that keep you stuck and feeling paralyzed.

The planets have aligned themselves in such a way to make us see, feel and deal with our emotions. This alignment began this week and will continue for three weeks. Wow, and I thought this was a tough week. How will we handle 3 weeks of it? Have you felt things come to the surface lately that need you to make a decision on or that call for you to look at them and perhaps let them go? Or have you had a situation in a relationship come up that has forced you to look at your emotions and thoughts? This is what is going on, and you are not alone (in more ways than one).

Have you either been paid well but not enjoyed your work or loved what you were doing but not received the flow of abundance? Either scenario is resisting the flow of abundance. The cornerstone of abundance is when we are being love and doing what we love. Abundance flows when we feel joyful, secure and truly fulfilled from the inside out. It flows easily when: You feel empowered and know your true self worth and valuer You have a vision for your life purpose and are aligned with who you are being and what you are doing.r

Everyone wants to have a mattress that is comfortable and fits the needs of their body. There are various types of mattresses available. They differ in size, shapes, design and durability. Mattresses range from simple and average to expensive and luxurious. Some mattresses come with spring or foam support. The basic idea behind a memory foam mattress is to use heat and compression to inflate the mattress to your need. It also comes with an innerspring. Mattresses with foam su

I recently had a conversation with a friend who shared with me a better solution for how another friend should have planned her day. My response was that I use enough energy to plan my own life – I don’t have the time or inclination to work out how others could have done things better, especially if not asked.

As our spirit awakens throughout our life, we begin to realize that there is something ‘beyond’ our normal humanness that is influencing and guiding our lives. We can deny it, but somehow it keeps revealing its presence to us in many ways. As we begin to accept that we have spiritual guidance in every moment of our lives, our lives change and we gain courage and strength to create the lives we truly desire.
