Seems that everyone who writes to me signs their letters "love and light." It has such a bright uplifting sound to it. Lightworkers are being taught to hold the energy of the light and to equate love with a warm white light that heals and protects. After what feels like an age of suppression ...

Many erroneously believe that the terms sympathy and empathy are synonymous. Although both words have to do with feelings, they do express different grades of feelings. But before I go in to the details of explaining the differences, let’s look first at what the dictionary says. n Sympathy ...

So often we accept the declarations that others have made conce ing our own lives, wellbeing or fate. It is imperative that we recognize that in order to achieve what we want in life, we must not give our power away to others by accepting their declarations conce ing our affairs. When one decides that he or she will boldly declare good fortune, wellness, joy,etc. relative to his or her life, all of heaven will break loose!Goodness and mercy shall surely follow. From birth, we are often told what we are going to be.

I heard some one once describe denial like this, It's like covering your eyes and walking straight across a busy highway. Now that denial is gonna hurt! REALITY: By not seeing yourself or a situation for how it really is you can't possibly react, behave or respond appropriately. We all have a certain degree of warped reality. There are certain things in all our lives that we either can't or won't face the reality of or we don't even know that we are not seeing the realty. By responding to situation of beliefs that are not real for so long, this sets up patterns of behaviors. Th

Pendulum dowsing has also been called "divining" for its ability to provide information and predict the future. Pendulum dowsing is a method of divination that is rarely requested by clients, and is highly underrated. Dowsing offers you the access to an inner wisdom; it can be a fun and simple way to begin to measure energy fields and is an excellent way of speaking directly with our intuition. It is a very ancient art and is said to date back well over 6 thousands years. The

It's been said that, "To attract attractive people, you must be attractive. To attract powerful people, you must be powerful. To attract committed people, you must be committed. Instead of going to work on them, you go to work on yourself. If you become, you can attract." Many people want some extrodinary things but thier self-image limits them on what they actually receive. A person cannot attract to themselves that which is greater than the way they see themselves.

We are living in a time where it is becoming increasingly normal for people to embrace their spiritual sides. Even people that would not use the label of spirituality are open to concepts such as finding their life’s purpose and trusting of their own intuition. nnAlthough we live in a world where science, logic and rationality are revered, many people are left questioning the way we are told to live our life. No matter how hard they try to avoid it, the question “there’

It is often said that man is born into this world with absolutely nothing. I do not agree with that as man has at least two things with him; a free will and the right to be himself. It is easy to convince a person to hand both over, especially when growing up and when the person is not aware of his/her individuality ...

Sexual Energy by Chandi Devi ™ © 2005 The World of Tantra.com All Rights Reserved Sexual Energy can be awakened and transmuted through meditation and lovemaking between a man and a woman. The sex act is a divine act in itself. Lovemaking between a man and woman, when entered into with complete awareness, is a gateway to both sexual and spiritual ecstasy. There is an immense potentiality in harnessing our kundalini Shakti (sexual energy). Once activated and contained in the body, it can be transformed and released to Cosmic Awareness.

If there really is such a thing as reinca ation, then why don't we remember our past lives? Actually, when you think about it, we don't even remember much of this life let alone our past lives. Well, why not? To start with, there’s the possibility that our forgetfulness is due to a bit of cosmic mercy. Our fragile minds probably couldn't simultaneously process all the memories: the joys, pains, humiliations, triumphs, confusion, doubts, information, wounds, and so forth conn

Recently I wrote about the signs and symptoms of being on the "fast track" to spiritual awakening. One of the signs of awakening is receiving "secret" messages from the universe (from spirit) that help point you in the right direction. Secret messages from the universe can be anything from an announcement on the radio that answers a specific question you've been asking, to a gripping conversation with a stranger.

How to overcome fear God's way? Jesus Christ redeemed you from the curse of fear according Galatians 3:13. To overcome fear God's way and overcome all the attacks of the spirit of fear you have been given mighty divine weapons: prayer, thanksgiving to God for answered prayer, the name of Jesus, your faith, God's Word and your own faith-filled words.

Addiction to fantasy is a defence mechanism against the pain that we feel in our lives. It is a behaviour that is generally rooted in childhood, and it is a coping strategy that was learned to enable the child to survive the pain. Very often the child will use stories like fairy tales to escape from the present moment, and often these children have incredible imaginations and can tell great stories. They imagine that they will be rescued by a charming prince on a white horse.... or that they will meet a kind, sweet princess who will make them happy....

"I have absolutely no fear of death. From my near-death research and my personal experiences, death is, in my judgment, simply a transition into another kind of reality." - Dr. Raymond Moody Most people fear death. Although we know that death is inevitable, there is often a difference between what we believe intellectually and what we experience emotionally. Why is this so? It would seem that such a universal experience could be met with acceptance. Instead, at least in American culture, we often think of death as a failure. Some people don’t even want to talk about it.

We've all encountered two-faced people at one time or another -- those individuals who smile in your face and act like your best friend, while they've got a knife poise at your back. They pretend to be your best buddy, only to try to use you, or to spread lies and gossip about you behind your back.

What is sexual energy?

How to detect angelic presence and distinguish between angels and spirit guides. Guardian Angels are assigned to us at birth and remain with us throughout our lifetime. An angel guide on the other hand is one that we can call upon for extra assistance. All of us can call upon many angels, in addition to our Guardian Angel, to help us in any situation. Their role is to steer us in the right direction, to reassure and to guide us once we request their help. They are not here to interfere in our life lessons but to help make our life’s journey an easier path to tread.

Perceptive readers of my recent articles have probably noticed that I have hinted at an out-of-the-ordinary meeting of a man (a parent at my children's elementary school) as a sign of spiritual awakening. This is because this man happened to be my twin soul (sometimes also called "twin flame") and what's important about twin souls is they catalyze each other's spiritual growth and awakening. ("Catalyze" being his word.)

Do you ever feel stuck? Or nothing seems to be going your way? Or your life situation is not as good as you'd like? Although there is no miracle pill you can take to make it all better, there IS something you can do right now to begin to improve your life immediately. It all has to do with ...

There are many of us conce ed of what is happening at these times we live. We are seeing eruptions, wars being started, dangerous pests roaming around the world, the global warming, uncontrollable weathers and unusually fierce weather phenomena in normally calm areas etc. it's like Pandora's box has been opened and ...

Co-dependency refers to an obsessive need for affection, attention and affirmation. Co-dependent people get easily drawn into the pain and problems of others, feel responsible to help people solve their problems while ignoring their own, look outside themselves for meaning, identity and value, ...

Holding resentments against others is like swallowing poison and expecting the other person to get sick. We are only hurting ourselves. Often we hold resentments because we don't think the other person "deserves" to be forgiven. We seem to have the mistaken belief that somehow by holding the resentment we are hurting them, when in fact we are only hurting ourselves. Forgiveness does not mean we condone the other person's behavior, it just means we are releasing ourselves from the bondage that keeps us tied to them.

It is an acknowledged fact that we live in an artificial environement built around a confusion of ideas and ideals - a modern day 'Babylon.' However, peppered through all of our lives are Spiritual signposts that can guide us towards LIFE. These signposts are often mis-interpreted and ...

The fear of "losing it all" often blinds us to what we really have and our riches. Many people hang onto jobs they are miserable with and hang onto situations that are "secure" instead of letting go and go for new pastures green where they find way to enjoy and achieve life success. This can be dangerous as we get ...

Think about how much time we waste on bad emotions we keep due to not being able to forgive. The inability to forgive sets our life on hold, we cannot move on and we get stagnated. We get blinded to the opportunities beyond the thing we need to forgive. We do not forget. But forgiving starts in our own heart, you need ...

How often have you had a pang of fear in your guts when faced with something that you find threatening as you do not know it? Fear of the unknown threat, terror or unmapped future becomes so often stagnating that its effect is like imprisonment. As you do not know what you are up against you allow your fear to take ...

I arrived into Toronto, Canada last night after a long day of traveling. Groggy and a bit spaced out (!) this morning, I begin with my cup of coffee and computer in hand. Looking at my schedule filled with "to do's", I'm also going over all the synchronicities/coincidences which had occurred over the past week in Califo ia. Before I had left, I had a couple of weeks chalk full of personal questions that I needed answers to; mainly around whether or not I will move and if I should expand my workshops into Califo ia.

A great tool to help you with your journey towards tapping into your intuitive self is to keep a Psychic journal. Keep it with you, so you can jot notes down as they come up. Write down any strange coincidences. Do you keep running into the same person? Do you see someone that you just thought of even though you haven seen him or her for a long time? Have you heard the same song over and over again from different sources? Has a friend of your just said something that you know in your Soul is "true"? Are you continuously seeing the same number, color, animal or anything at all?

“How can I get past these obstacles?” “How can I deal with these difficult situations?” These and many similar questions I often get from clients and it’s true with most people that they see a multitude of obstacles and hindrances when movig on with their lives. It often leads to inactivity for a long time or even ...

In another article I put together a list of nine signs and symptoms of spiritual awakening that I found essential to the awakening process. In this article, I discuss in detail one of the signs of awakening that could be called "repeating incidents." This is when you have the same thing (particularly something out-of-the-ordinary) happen to you two or three (or more) times in a relatively short span of time, like, say, 24 hours. The repetition assures that you notice what your higher self wants you to notice.

On August 10th I listened to an online program offered by Geoffrey Hoppe and his wife Linda titled, "Are You Having a Spiritual Awakening?" that was both informative as well as enjoyable to experience. During the program, a listener called in to ask, "Is there any way to speed up the awakening process?" Linda and Geoffrey responded that there wasn't much one could do except to breathe, accept and allow the experience.

When I first became a student in the School of Metaphysics my teacher used to say, “If it’s simple and it works, it’s metaphysics.” I have always remembered that. Metaphysics is simple because it is Universal Truth. Truth is profound, clear, and direct. I think sometimes people forget that. They think that something has to be complicated to be meaningful. The School of Metaphysics sponsors the National Dream Hotline® each year (the last weekend in April) to educate people around the world about dreams. Freud became known for the truth that every dream is about the dreamer.

Last Friday, I attended something called the Spiritual Spa at the Carondelet Center in St. Paul. I was hoping to get some time to just relax, draw, journal, whatever. I ended up getting some of that and so much more Before lunch, we, the Spiritual Spa participants, were invited to collect ourselves in a room for a directed meditation by a nun from the Center. She told us about her idea of dusting off the old Beatitudes in the Bible and making them her own.

The Earth is Alive Is planet Earth a conscious living organism, much like us but on a grander scale? What if the Earth was experiencing its own life much like the way we experience ours?

I have always loved crystals. I love to be surrounded by them, I love to hold them in my hands and place them on Chakra points during meditation, and I especially love to wear them. When I was young and broke, I remember saving my change in a jar until I had enough money to buy a piece of raw amethyst from a little shop in Woodstock, NY! It cost all of $5.00, but that was a lot of money back in the 70's when I was working full time and putting myself through college. I still have that piece of amethyst in my library, along with dozens of other beautiful crystals and stones.

Like so many people on the internet I have tried a number of ways of making "big" money on the web and yes, I have made at least one bad investment. There is more than one money making formula out there. Some formulas are good and some not so good. God knows more than a little about financial prosperity and He desires the Christian to prosper. Let's see how to prosper financially God's way. Formula to a Relationship

Oral hygiene, remineralization toothpastes and alkaline nutrition can save your teeth. The following ten steps may not only save one's teeth and gums, but also one's life. Why? Because many underlying causes of disease are affected as well.

The story of creation found in Genesis Chapter One is absolutely marvelous! How blessed we are to have a God who cared enough for us to surround us with amazing beauty even though we are sinners. God is truly good and everything that He makes is good. Here are fourteen true or false Bible Quiz Questions to help your kids have some fun while learning about who really made this big beautiful ball we live on. Bible Quiz Questions Pointers: Before you begin, I do want to point out a few things. 1. These questions should enhance any version of Scripture that you use.r

In our article on the Muladhar, we talked about the first chakra and how people get stuck there. The good news is there is help. To relieve some of the blockages of the oral, anal and genital functions of the muladhar, Tantra utilizes mulabhanda or contractions of the muscles of the first chakra, the root of our body system. Once the seeker goes beyond the oral fixations of the muladhar, he/she can begin the process of internal growth. Application of the mulabhanda, the root lock, strengthens the muscles of the anus and penis, and is beneficial to sexual health.

The Muladhar © Chandi Devi 2007 All Rights Reserved The premise in Tantra is that there are seven energy chakras, along the spine in the subtle body. These are often described as petals of a lotus, with each chakra owning from four petals at the first chakra to one thousand petals in the seventh. At the base of the spine is the first chakra called the muladhar. This is the root of our survival, our most base instincts.

Why waste sexual energy when it can be transformed through yogic practices into ever changing continuous joy and bliss? Nearly everyone I know has no idea how truly awesome transmutation of conserved vital energy can be. Related to trantra, this spiritual approach to sexuality is, under the right conditions, most incredibly fulfilling. There is nothing more immensely satisfying and fulfilling than the transmutation of stored sexual energy.

Worldwide, political, economical, environmental and social events are taking place that are changing the way we think, feel and perceive our world as well as relate to one another. Change is in the air, on a collective and an individual level, both of which mirror one another.

When change happens, when we are caught in a place that feels like a maze, when life seems to throw us a curve ball, it is in those times that I am most grateful for the investment in my personal practice and life skills that are continually expanding. Sometimes the emotional winds are cold, and can bite at our comfort in ways that seem to penetrate our very existence. If we are not aware, or practiced in the skills of personal balance, our lives can be tumbled around leaving us confused, and with the feeling of being weakened, lost, and/or boxed in.

Everything happens for a reason. Most people have an unfilled sense of longing for something they just can never quite put their finger on. Our modern world is so full of technological distractions that it becomes nearly impossible to hear the inner voice that comes from somewhere deep inside you. What most people lack is a spiritual completeness , a personal connection to the rest of our vast and awesome cosmos. There are very few people that can rally the clarity of thought

Many UFO's seen in our atmosphere are actually ships sent by advanced civilizations from higher spheres or worlds of vibration trying to initiate contact with our dimension. Bashar's world, "Essassani" is at a vibration rate varying between spirit and matter. Bashar claims to be an extraterrestrial "hybrid" from an ethereal solar system 500 light years away and 300 years into the future.

Personal enlightenment is, in my opinion, the path that resonates most clearly with one's heart and soul. All too often, people everywhere are trying to push and pull at each other in order to sway one another to their personal viewpoints. While much of it is well meaning, it must be up to the individual to find what path seems most "right" for his/her individual awareness. All avenues lead to the same source, in my opinion, whatever the source actually is. We all have differ

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned from my Guide Group is that accidents are anything but accidental. They are actually pre-planned events that we personally choose to take part in during our present inca ation for the express purposes of expediting our learning and spiritual growth.

Can you be alone and quiet? Can you simply sit and be still in silence, with YOU? Are you walking around unconscious, asleep? It seems that everywhere we go these days there is “human” noise of some kind or other obscuring the peace of quiet. One typical day: Bank - music playing from small radio on the counter. An advertisement is broadcasting on two large TV screens, with sound. Two people in line talking on cell phones and yes, one at the counter talking on a cell while interacting with the Customer Service Agent.

Does Synchronicity Exist? I have a friend who is a bit skeptical about the existence of synchronicity. S. and I have been discussing synchronicities and interconnectedness--that there might be a design to the universe that we can tap into for our own benefit--for about three weeks now. But he doesn't see this as a real possibility yet. I can relate, of course. Years ago, when I experienced synchronicities relatively seldom, I didn't read much into them either. Yesterday I received an email from S.:

Many people have noticed that a great tide of change is sweeping across the planet. As in nature, this tide does not follow a linear path. We are experiencing on Earth a massive environmental and human crisis, a reflection of the collective shadow of an unenlightened humanity. What does this ...

The flow is a beautiful, yet powerful state of being where life moves effortlessly through you. What does it mean to be in the flow? When in the flow you are high on the emotional tone scale, relaxed and full of well being. This is the optimum state of being to live in to activate the Law of Attraction.

Orgasmic energy is one of the most powerful tools for healing, energizing and balancing every aspect of being – the mental, emotional, spiritual, physical, and, of course, sexual. In the teachings of the Sweet Medicine Chuluaqui Quodoushka from the Metis Deer Tribe, there are four levels of orgasm that can be experienced by both men and women. In Quodoushka, as in all Tantric traditions, energy of orgasm is seen as more than just a release of pent-up tension in the body.

About a year ago, I was talking to a friend of mine on the telephone. He had just experienced a big success in his career and wanted to brag. We had a great time cheering and laughing over his big moment. Then as we were wrapping up our phone call, he apologized for gloating to me. I blew it ...

Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Marie Curie, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa … there are many people throughout history who have changed the world through responding to inner inspiration. We call these people geniuses.

It's amazing how in most societies there is a consensus or unwritten agreement or unspoken law that handicapped people are somehow just half a measure at best. It seems as though the handicapped person gets immediately categorized and mentally placed on a shelf containing "half" participants of society.

We are all familiar with the saying “don’t assume because it makes an ass of you (u) and me”. While it may seem like an over-used cliché, I can’t help but reflect on the truth of this little quip. Haven’t we all gotten into trouble at one point or another for assuming things were one way when in fact that couldn’t have been further from the truth? It is no surprise that not assuming is one of the four agreements to finding peace and balanced outlined by Don Miguel Ruiz in his book The Four Agreements.

So often it's too easy to criticize one's own behaviour, words or lack of doing this, that or the other. How often do we set ourselves up to be disappointed with ourselves? For instance the New Year resolutions, where we promise ourselves and others to 'better' ourselves in certain areas, like stopping smoking ...

This time of year can be very difficult for many of us who have lost a loved one. Holidays are not the same without their presence. But what if they never really left you? What if, on special occasions, they were very near.

Long term teenage relationship problems are becoming very common nowadays. These problems are usually full of drama and can cause a lot of collateral problems in the school and the teenagers’ family. Some long term teenage relationship problems can even lead to drug abuse or suicides. If not addressed properly and early enough, long term teenage relationships can adversely impact the emotional and psychological health and growth of the teenager. Attracted to the opposite sex

In Sacred Geometry, the shape of Christ Consciousness (or sometimes it is called Christ Grid) is made from a combination of several geometric shapes, the dodecahedron and the icosahedrons. These two shapes are from the group of five shapes known as the Platonic Solids, or the perfect bodies. The platonic solids are five unique structures that are congruent regular polygons, with the same number of faces meeting at each vertex; thus, all its edges are congruent, as are its vertices and angles. Many religions consider the platonic solids shapes to be holy.

Ancient wisdom can help the spiritual traveler in the modern world. In the second passage of the Tao Te Ching we find a profound message that reflects one of the most important virtues taught by spiritual leaders and writers today. Letting go is a simple spiritual concept that many people struggle with. Especially in Western culture the idea of giving up is frowned upon; children are taught to be tough and fight through every life situation. But letting go is the real measure of courage.

Animal Spirit Guides ~ or Totems ~ are among the most powerful and profound Spirit helpers we have.

Have you have ever wondered as to your soul’s purpose, why you are here? The Book of Life will provide the answers. I remember clearly the first time I intentionally accessed the Akashic records. I went to look for details in my life at a time when I was feeling stuck. I had clear questions I wanted answering: was I ever going to get married and to whom? Trotting off up there in meditation, I was not expecting any real answers. I was experimenting but I did want to know the answers to my questions.

It was a life choice commitment that I thought would be easy. I was going to stop complaining and stop criticizing people. I felt quite serene in my decision, knowing that this was the necessary next step in my spiritual progress. After several days I realized this was not going to be easy at ...

When you get up in the morning you are in your most positive vibrational state. To keep these positive vibes going, begin your day with good feeling thoughts. The following routine will help you establish a positive vibrational tone for the rest of the day. It will help you to align with your natural state of well-being, have more clarity, increase your zest for life, and attract harmonious relationships and circumstances. Even if parts of your day deviate from that starting point, with continued practice you will find that you will have more control over your reactions.

I walked in on my roommate the other day and she was using another roommate’s laptop. Hers wasn’t working and she needed to get online to answer her emails. She is accustomed to her PC and this was a Mac and it was frustrating her. “I hate this computer! I hate this computer!” became her mantra. Energetically, her comments were knocking me for a loop and I pretended to be her and said to the Universe and to the others in the room, “I am GRATEFUL that I was loaned this computer so that I could do this work.

"The only thing we have to fear,is fear itself." --Franklin D. Roosevelt Our planet is going through changes (we’re up to our knees in the Shift, and there is so much fear surrounding 2012, much of it unfounded), we are still dealing with terrorist activities, and our economy is still in bad shape. All around us friends and loved ones have had their pay cut, lost their jobs and maybe even their homes and cars-and many Lightworkers have too.

The gift of supe atural restoration is designed to restore all the things that we have lost through the operation of the kingdom of darkness upon our lives. Therefore, in God, nothing is actually lost. God desires His people to live a fulfilling and prosperous life.r

As a spiritual coach, my job is to show clients how cause and effect plays into their life. Many people do not understand that their actions or lack of action can create an ongoing cycle of the same situation repeating over and over until it is dealt with. People often believe that they can just avoid a situation that

Elvis Presley's Inner Spiritual Voyage Millions of words have been written about the turbulent and legendary life and career of Elvis Presley: from his humble birth and extremely poor early days in a tiny wooden shotgun two-room house in Tupelo, Mississippi; to his musical beginnings as a teenager discovered at Sun Records by Sam Phillips; to his spectacular ascent to worldwide celebrity propelled and supervised by the infamous Colonel Tom Parker. Despite this abundance of d

Empowerment, that’s a good thing ~ right? Any time we have the ability to empower someone to do their best or make good decisions, it’s a positive in their life. So how do we get caught in the trap of negative empowerment? And what exactly is negative empowerment?

The benefits of spiritual partnership are the highest goals that you can reach for, such as freedom from fear, and also the most grounded, pragmatic, and useful tools that you can develop, such as how to use power struggles to grow spiritually. All the benefits of spiritual partnership are interconnected, and each lead

Everyone we know is experiencing some form of increased "pressure" during these transforming times. These pressures may appear in the form of financial struggles, relationship challenges or health issues. It is helpful to understand from both a scientific and spiritual view point, that any particular form comprises only a small percentage of "all that is" about your life. It is equally helpful to live life from the perspective that you are one part of a collective. One individual calling forth the changes we are experiencing collectively. We do not want things to remain the same!

Psychic senses come in many forms. Most people know about clairvoyance, but I wanted to list the rest of the “clair-s” so that you are familiar with them all. You may have one or more of the following, but usually one is stronger than the others in each individual. -Clairvoyance - I thought I would start with the easiest. Clairvoyants see visions in their mind. You may have the impression that this is the only way to psychically know something, but don’t limit yourself to this way of thinking. There are other ways too.

Probable futures, parallel realities, time-travel, and the real reason for the abductions (temporary detainments) by "alien grays" are explained clearly by Bashar's unprecedented insight and understanding on these subjects. The existence of Atlantis and how it ended is also confirmed by at least three entirely unrelated sources: Leslie Flint direct voice mediumship, a scientific article by Steven M.

What does the concept of Oneness really mean? Oneness describes that we are all a part of the same source and that at the soul level; we are the same energetic being. Oneness goes beyond physicality and represents a connection to every living being in the Universe. Therefore every thought, every experience, is felt by all, even if only like a small breeze. Oneness means that everyone has, or will be, everything and in this space there is no place for judgment, since what you are judging in another, you too have been.

I never think or talk about age because I don’t wish my subconscious to have these preconditioned ideas of what to expect when you are a certain age, and this has worked well for me. My body is healthy and supple and I look/act/feel/think much younger than my years. But while appearing years younger is fantastic, it can have disadvantages as well. This body doesn't really workout. Its idea of a workout consists of yoga and spending hours everyday dancing.

The universe is essentially a soup of consciousness. All beings, objects, energy fields and particles are/were created by consciousness and are responsive to consciousness. Imagine that the room you are sitting in is the entire universe. Imagine that your awareness fills the entire room. ...

Since most of us are leaders now, let us be true in examining ourselves. From the time we knew about our God and our Savior, and from the time we get busy with the ministry, did we experience feeling so tired and felt like giving up? It seems that we are already too exhausted and drained because of our busy schedules? The truth is, it’s normal for people to get tired, but it’s not normal for us to give up and decrease our faith in God. Why do we get tired? When the time I became a true Christian, I was taught that faith without work is dead (James 2:26) .

The Divine link between spiritual awakening and psychic development Ten years ago, while flying with my three young children, the oxygen masks suddenly dropped out of the overhead cabinets. Somehow, inexplicably, the cabin’s air system had malfunctioned. The masks—rubbery, unwelcome, unholy things—dangled before us. With difficulty, I got the masks on myself and my kids, my infant screaming as I pressed it over her face.

Sacred geometry symbols come from the patterns of nature, spirit, and various mystical concepts. Behind all sacred geometric symbols is the knowledge that enables us to take complete control over our lives, taking us out of chaos, fear and hatred which affect so many of us. According to ancient wisdom, all is one!

Dr. Deepak Chopra is a leader in the field of mind-body medicine.

“These gems have life in them: their colors speak; say what words fail of.” George Eliot (1819-1880)

Mention the word “tantra” and the first thing that comes to mind is sex. While it is true that sex is an important aspect of tantra, it is just one component of this ancient spiritual path. Known as the path of the householder, tantra practices are beneficial to our physical, spiritual, emotional and sexual health. Sexual health can be improved naturally thru the tantric sex. Besides sharing a strong body/mind/spirit connection, every loving couple should also enjoy multiple, powerful sexual orgasms which will stimulate and increase the secretion of the pineal and pituitary glands.

Combining visualization, meditation and affirmation provides a powerful means to reaching your goals. By visualizing you connect and communicate with your subconscious in pictures. We dream in pictures or symbols, physics receive messages in pictures, and all through the ages prophets have been given visions or pictures. By visualizing while in a relaxed state of meditation, we are more receptive to the messages of the affirmation and less conscious of the chatter of the critical ego.r

For some fifteen years now, the practice of Self Blessing has been the centerpiece of my personal spiritual practice as well as the many ceremonies and celebrations that I facilitate for others. When people are first introduced to the concept, they are often taken aback and suddenly shy. “Bless ...

Sanatana Dharma also known as Sanaatan Dharma is a sanskrit term meaning "ete al law," "ete al religion" or "the ete al unchanging occupation of the soul in its relation to the Supreme Being." Thus one who follows the principles of Sanatana Dharma is led back to a pure state of consciousness of a unified relationship with the Source. Many make the mistake of equating Hinduism and Sanatana Dharma as the same concept which isn't necessarily true.

Last evening, as I was reading, with my 13 year old son, Spencer, from the book Spiritual Economics by Eric Butterworth, we entered into a delicious dialogue on the meaning of resistance. We were reading a passage that says, to realize prosperity, you must accept the responsibility of your own thoughts, which is how you can take charge of your life. I have shared the teachings of The Power of Awareness with probably a thousand folks by now, and I have gained a clear understanding of how the mind works.

As I fumbled through some old files this evening, cleaning up my home office, I ran across a jou al of quotes I’d started in 1994. (Ok, yes, I had quite a stack of books and papers I was going through.) I opened the jou al, and right there on the first page was a quote that caught my eye and I ...

The effect of self-worth on your spiritual development can become very subtle and easy to miss. It is very important to pay attention to it in your daily reflection, especially if you are wondering why you aren’t developing faster, or why you’re still so far behind. It is important to reflect about daily events and see how you would do something differently from how you did it last week. By putting daily events in your diary and reflecting on them, you ensure that you

"Meditation is emptying self of all that hinders the creative forces from rising along the natural channels of the physical man to be disseminated through those centers and sources that create the activities of the physical, the mental, the spiritual man." Edgar Cayce " Telepathy and clairvoyance are not the aim of Yoga practice. They are by-products of this practice..." Patanjali "How do we know that ESP is enhanced by meditation? We have laboratory evidence.

New Beginnings 2013 are here now as we celebrate the New Year. Let's start on a positive note for this new cycle in our life on planet Earth. Everyday is a new day, a new opportunity to begin again. In order to do so you need to let go of yesterday, the past as you embrace new beginnings 2013 today. All we have is this moment and our breath. The breath is life, the life of spirit within us ever calling out for new beginnings. Ah, breathe and relax.

Since early in 2007 the efforts to deliver a message of hope as offered in A Course in Miracles to prisoners have been ongoing. Prisoners have been a pet project for this writer for several reasons. The first of these reasons might be attributed to the personal experience of having served most of a ten year sentence in prison, but the greater reasons have to do with what occurred while there. It was 1974 and I was twenty-four years of age at the time.

Ever Wonder About The Colors In A Rainbow? Why Do We See What We See? The truth is we are made up of energy. This is not new to most people who have been working with others through several modalities in the healing sector. The proof, for all those who are scientifically inclined, can turn their attention to Einstein's Theory, Quantum Physics, and Kirlian Photography! I also want to add paranormal researchers use thermal imaging. It is an instrument that picks up heat signatures in an environment when there is an energy form present that a naked eye cannot see.

Psychic feelings are a part of our daily lives; you may have these insights each day and not realize that they exist or that you are getting messages to help you have a better future. Making a difference With your psychic feelings you can help many people who are lost or need help with their mission in life. You can use your ability of feelings to help with missing persons. You can help those who want to know about their future and avoid difficulties. You can help people understand what other lives are affecting them in this life and how to heal this. Understanding </

The Fifth Agreement – What is it? Miguel Ruiz, bestselling author of The Four Agreements has not come out with another Agreement, perhaps the most powerful agreement of all, The Fifth Agreement

There seems to be a growing fad and obsession with the idea of the Law of Attraction. While I do believe self-reflection and the effort to begin monitoring our thoughts is a good stepping-stone, I feel a lot of this concept is being manipulated and abused by some.

Not only can you receive additional insight but your dreams can be manipulated from the outside world.... Are you dreaming of visiting other planets? Are you dreaming of weddings? Are your dreams ridden with seemingly unrelated events and symbols? A study was conducted at the Toronto Sleep Center not long ago where a subject (the sleep participant) was being prepared for his sleep at the center (Let's call him Jim to protect his privacy). Jim came to the center because he had problems sleeping and wanted answers.

According to the dictionary the word intuition is the apparent ability to acquire knowledge without inference or the use of reason. It comes from the Latin word 'intueri', which is often roughly translated as meaning ‘to look inside’ or ‘to contemplate’

Volatile emotions, dissatisfaction with life, problems with our relationships; these are just some of the problems which can cause pain in our lives. So what’s the root cause? We are quite literally looking for love in all the wrong places. We look to the ego for the answers and whatever we hear from the ego we believe to be true. In fact, we believe that we are the ego, or vice versa. The Egor

Astral Projection: The Beginning There is a difference between remote viewing and astral travel. I conduct workshops (Saloons) introducing astral travel and remote viewing so that people can learn the difference. There are still some who do not know there is a difference or they believe these types of 'states' are one of the same. They are not. I for one am still in training with astral travel. I can remote view but have found willing myself to astral travel when I want to takes a bit more preparation and practice.

How To Read The Tarot 77 By LilianEden Ace Of Cups Tarot reading is not only for 'those people with special gifts'. Anyone can learn the art of tarot if only they would let themselves go and play a little! I will create a few hubs along the way and spend some time with each suit/element. In addition to the tarot cards, learning more about numerology and meaning behind colors would also be very beneficial. Tarot reading is about interpreting images, color, numbers.

What do employers consider when deciding on your compensation, your promotion or whether or not to keep you when the company is going through tough times? The first things considered are your performance and your attitude towards work. Employers need to see how you are an asset to the company. They need to see how you make your work relevant and how your contributions push the company forward. It’s then very important that you win the trust and confidence of your employer in you at your job by showing pride in your work. How you apply yourself at work

Previously I compiled a list of 9 signs and symptoms of spiritual awakening that I considered essential to the awakening process. In this article, I discuss meaningful dreams as one of the signs of spiritual awakening. Intense, vivid dreams that seem to point you in a certain direction are one way your higher self uses to guide you, and a dream that is meaningful to you helps you notice what your higher self wants you to notice.

Sound healing has been practiced in cultures worldwide for thousands of years. When most people think of sound, they are actually thinking of a range of vibrational frequencies, and more specifically most are thinking of the frequency between 20 and 20,000 cycles per second, that human ears can normally perceive.

Ex-CIA man talks to his plants and found they answer back. Or, a writer who kept in contact with an explorer in the North Pole but didn't use a radio- just the mind. There's a college where scientists worked out a system of Morse Code to communicate with Astronauts on the far side of the moon. Even Hollywood has seen this phenomena at work receiving eerily similar scripts from writer's around the world - flooded with similar scripts in batches at different times. French researcher, Dr. Paul Joire had observed this phenomena particularly with subjects who were in a trance or hypnotized.

Forgiveness is the only path that leads us out of hell. Forgiveness is letting go. It is surrendering. It is giving up the need to be right. It is finally admitting to yourself that you are open and willing to live your life another way. That way is through the door of forgiveness. If you are experiencing pain, anguish, fear, turmoil, confusion, doubt, shame, terror, hate or anything similar, there is some aspect of yourself or another that you are not loving and accepting. Forgiveness is the balm to heal all wounds.

The movie The Secret was created by a woman with a vision and a mission. But what happens when the purpose of the movie is somehow misinterpreted or distorted? This article will reveal the secret behind the secret. Not so long ago an angel by the name of Rhonda Byrne had a vision while dealing ...

Years ago, deep into my own spiritual emergence, I had startlingly prescient dreams; in one, the words, "violent emergency" reverberated through my head. It was a violent emergence; birth is fierce. There is an ocean of difference, however, betwee Nature's ferocity and that which is deliberately inflicted by human beings with their own agendas.

It is one's state of evolution and consciousness that determines what sort of afterlife one finds one's self in after the crossing from this world into the realms beyond it. One's spiritual progress or development is largely dependent on the degree of one's personal illumination, love, understanding and forgiveness. We will explore what happens to souls who are overly steeped in materialism or dogmatic beliefs and to those that commit suicide.

There is wisdom that exists within you that is available to you for shifting your perspective on the problems of your life. There are ways to tap this wisdom that are simple and accessible, and you can get in touch with a higher understanding. You may have a question you want to ask, or you may just want to listen and experience the guidance and wisdom that come forth. You may ask for wisdom about a current relationship, a career decision, a financial issue, a challenge in the life of someone else, or a difficulty in the world.

Trees are fabulous! They are the lungs of the planet. They do an amazing job for us- they take our waste product (carbon dioxide) and they turn it into what we breathe- oxygen.

The secret to a happy and successful life is having the skills to stay balanced and feel positive. After 30 years of mentoring people in empowerment and self development I have realized that understanding the hidden world of feelings is a first step. Let's Look At Feelings Imagine you have ...

Some people want to reconnect with and cultivate a palpable relationship with their higher self. Your meditation practice should help you with this goal, but some meditations are more effective at this than others. If your relationship with your higher self isn't where you want it to be and you'd like to know what kind of meditations are most effective for accessing your higher self (and your inner guidance), please read on...

Last November, when the red cardinal laid siege to my home, I was amused to learn that he was caught up in the same illusion as so many people: seeing his own reflection in the window, he felt threatened by the "other" bird and attacked a mirror image of himself, bashing his beak and body against the glass every two or three seconds from dawn into the night. Thwack! Plop! Thunk! From the start, I felt that the cardinal was an object lesson: if I could not be peaceful about t

Do we understand those little signs and messages that come into our lives every day? Do we pay them attention, or dismiss them as coincidence? “There is no such thing as coincidence” – a saying we hear often! It is true to say there is no such thing as coincidence; all is pre-planned on a sub-conscious level or a reflection of your inner being.r

Have You Found Your Personal Calling? Could it be that we are creating a tribe based in living authentically and following our true purpose? ABSOLUTELY! One of the things I know beyond a doubt is that you will find a far greater value than you ever expected... by honoring yourself and 'the life potential' you have as the gift of Being Authentically You... We all have something so valuable... so sacred...

Here in LA we are bombarded with false information about tantra. Tantra is the union of two souls, the art and science of joining body, mind and spirit. It is the study of vibratory energies, the union of opposite polarities, the feminine and masculine conjoined in a harmonious duet of love and beauty. This yoga requires the aspirant to master and discipline his/her body and mind to illuminate the Spirit within and without. Tantra yoga can be a difficult and treacherous practice. Surrender of the ego insists upon commitment, dedication and the spirit of the warrior.

What would you enjoy manifesting in your life? What perceptions or self-defeating thoughts may be interfering with achieving your purpose and manifesting your highest dreams? Awareness Engineering combines contemporary healing techniques, quantum reality concepts, ancient disciplines and philosophy to help individuals uncover these answers. It is a part of the human condition to feel as though sometimes we are on top of the world and in control, and at other times we are over

The new testament Scripture, “The love of money is the root of all evil” gets misinterpreted quite often. Despite what many people believe money, it is NOT the root of all evil. Neither is it good or bad, nor does it make a person good or bad. Here are 3 important truths behind the Scripture, “The love of money is the root of all evil:” 1. The “love of” money.

I think it's safe to assume that "normal" people want to be happy. We want to be around happy people, in happy environments, feeling good and doing things that make us happy. So, if happiness (and happy experiences) is our goal, what can we do to reach that goal? If happiness is a common goal ...

Communication ~ it's such an important aspect of life and yet so few people really know how to communicate well. So many of us don't even realize we are poor communicators. Mixed messages are just one of many ways that people communicate poorly. Mixed messages occur when spoken words don't match a person's actions. Talk about crazy making... Being on the receiving end of mixed messages makes one shake their head and say "I don't understand". Many times we aren't even aware of in-congruent messages. We just know something doesn't feel right about the relationship.

If you’re not familiar with A Course in Miracles then you should know that the course teaches a radical shift in how we see the world. This isn’t a course in superficial niceness or be good and you’ll go to heaven. This is a course that asks you to radically change your thinking about the world. It asks that you look within for answers and open your mind to spirit. In doing so you learn that the world you see with mortal eyes is in Reality an illusory experience. You come to experience that in Truth you are love.

Have you ever wondered if miracles still happen today? You might be surprised. But first, shouldn't you ask, "Just what is a miracle anyway?" There is no way to know if miracles happen in modern society unless you truly know the definition of a miracle. Perhaps, your definition is different from someone else's. This ...

There is a great difference in waking up fresh and nourished in the morning after a good night sleep or still feeling tired and sleepy until midday. The morning is the most productive time for those that are awake and alert and have time on their hands before the telephones and meetings start. There is no need to ...

In a funk. In a hole. In a rough patch. Off my game. Fallen off. Hit a wall. Hit bottom. Slipping. Spiraling. Tanking. Trapped. Stuck. Do these words ever come out of your mouth? Face it. We all have bad days or bad seasons where we don't have a sense of well-being. Even though no one likes to be in "that bad place", it's not so easy to get out. Are you in one of those times right now? Are you having trouble getting out of the dumps and into a better place? If so, you may

I listened to an online discussion on evolutionary spirituality, evolving beyond the ego and spiritual evolution led by Craig Hamilton last month (April 2010). In a nutshell, Hamilton's message was that the ego (which he defined as the part of the self susceptible to collective conditioning) would rather stay comfortable than to take a chance on living a transformed life. The key to this problem, Hamilton said, was to evolve beyond the ego. This article is the third in a series of three and evaluates the four steps Hamilton formulated for evolving beyond the ego.

Tithing is not a new concept. Nearly every religion in the world practices it. Yet it can be a controversial subject for some people. It can feel as though some preacher or religious organization just wants your money. Even if that is true, give it anyway if you receive spiritual inspiration from them. You’re tithing for yourself, not someone else. Tithing is a personal commitment to your spiritual growth. To understand tithing, you need to know exactly what tithing is. An

To learn the Law of Analogy and Correspondences in learning how to interpret symbols, images, numbers, geometric shapes, colors, sigma’s, etc., we literally retrain our mind to a whole new level of comprehending a reality that exists in a unified, ecological state. Interpreting symbols and images works by connecting or opening the pathway to higher consciousness.

Louise Hay is known as one of the founders of the Self Help movement and is the head of Hay House, a successful publishing company.

This world is really focused on getting and having. Think about it. As you read this article you most likely feel that you still have some unmet needs. They may be in finances, love, family, career or spiritual development. We all want to get and have, and what we’re accustomed to doing is using our own will to decide exactly what we need and how to get it. But we can’t possibly experience consistent abundance until we’re prepared to take a good look at the cause of all scarcity and pain.

Unfortunately, I hear it often from clients and random conversations with friends and other people that they want to consider a person to be clueless or even stupid because that person did not understand them hinting about an issue. Many people do hint and actually think that people that they are hinting to should be a

Typically when one buys a car, they may sign a four year agreement with the loaning agency to make monthly payments to them until the car is paid off.

"Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart." When Jalal al din Rumi wrote those words in thirteenth century Persia it is unlikely that he had any idea of the vast array of career and life choices available to a twenty-first century human being. With the staggering number of career possibilities and life paths available to each of us, how do you know what is truly right for you? My work with clients, in the spiritual realm, has given me a unique perspective on career, purpose, and spiritual path.

Is it possible that the people who annoy us the most, those we might consider to be our “enemies” in this lifetime, are actually our closest, most beloved, “universal” friends? My Guide Group first introduced me to the concept of “Relationship Villains” during an automatic writing session for my book “Windows of Opportunity” with the following . . . “We sit and plan our lives here on earth.

We have an abundance of opportunities to meet other people, a variety of things to do and places to go. In fact, our lives are as congested as our freeways, and we often get stuck and feel like we are not going anywhere, So we try to fill ourselves with a hectic schedule in the hopes that we can fill that void. We are afraid of quietude, aloneness and inactivity.

When the movie The Secret became a big hit several years ago it planted a seed in the mass consciousness that we can all create our individual reality from our imagination. After releasing the genie out of the bottle, so to speak, many people began wishing and focusing on the physical objects they could attain because their focus was on a perceived dualistic reality. Little did they know that the power they just discovered was meant to create a deeper understanding of their innermost desires and provide them a way to manifest those desires.

This will be the most powerful and perhaps also most emotional thing you have experienced so far.

Terrified of the dentist? Heal dental caries naturally with butter oil and cod liver oil, oral care, remineralization and correct nutrition, including a life-long alkaline-forming diet be so vital for dental health. This article presents alte ative dental research. Much of what we have been taught about tooth decay in schools and colleges is either wrong or incomplete. Interesting research by Ramiel Nagel and Dr. Weston Price explains why incorrect nutrition is the real cause of tooth decay. Back in 7th grade, I had a friend who was really religious.

People seem interested in the topic of karma and how one can achieve karmic clearing, with some claiming that karmic clearing is a prerequisite for Ascension. For example, Richard Presser (a channel for "Father God," Jesus, and others) has stated that if you wish to participate in the opportunity that Ascension is, you need to clear all of your past life negative karma. However, there is much confusion circulating on the Internet on karma and karmic clearing. This article attempts to clear up some of that confusion.

All of us desire a more meaningful, peaceful, joyful and loving life. So why do we see the world filled with chaos, anxiety, and overall fear? We look around and perceive this person this to us and we perceive this event doing that to us, and we keep judging, judging, and judging until we think we feel better. But do we, really? If love conquers all fears then why are we not tapping into our inner love and light at each moment? Because we are on autopilot and the ego loves playing this game.

It is a wonderful thing to stand where you are - and to know that you are either allowing joy into your life or that you are feeling the desire for something more deeply fulfilling. Either one is a sign that your inner guidance is working to show you the way to go. The guidance of intuition starts out very subtly - offering us opportunities to make healthy shifts along the way. Sometimes we rationalize with ourselves to go one way or another but when we go the wrong way, negative key indicators become increasingly more apparent.

The concept that we all are one with each other, and with the Universe, is far easier for most of us to espouse than to truly understand. One of the basic tenets of most spiritual belief systems is that the entire Universe, including our world and each of us, was created by an all-powerful Source that is beyond the ability of our human minds to comprehend completely. The teachings in Lessons from the Source: A Spiritual Guidebook for Navigating Life’s Journey all have their foundation in that premise, and the first section of the book, which follows, offers an explanati

Horses and Human Emotional Intelligence in Equine Assisted Life Coaching Equine Assisted Life Coaching is similar to Equine Assisted Therapy in that the horse becomes a bio-feedback mechanism for personal growth however it differs from EAT in that our Life Coaching programs primarily focus on acknowledging and mastering our innate personal power in order to harness our potential and then apply it to achieve our future goals .............

Then you might need to try the metaphysical way. When something happens, when somebody, maybe a colleague, treats us badly, perhaps they criticize us, bully us, put us down, humiliate us or try to manipulate us, the first reaction is to feel hurt or get angry: why did they do that to us? Or maybe we think that it is our fault and we start beating ourselves up, feeling even worse.r

Relationships are relentless in mirroring back to us all that we need to be aware of, heal and transform. The common trap is to make the other person wrong and believe they need to change in some way for the relationship to improve. Truly transformational growth comes when we accept that they are a mirror to us and Life is inviting us to look at all those aspects of ourselves that are being reflected back. Here are four levels through which this mirroring works:

Waking up feeling blessed there is no greater feeling than waking up refreshed. When "God wake's you up spiritually it's even a better feeling. You look at the world in a different way. The things that use to weigh you down some how just don't mater any longer. It's like getting a energy boost for the spirit what a great feeling, some one should bottle it up and just give it away. It's to good a feeling to just keep it to your self. It's meant to be shared in a smile a hug a greeting that comes from the heart.

"Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces"(Jeremiah 23:29 KJV)? How to overcome lack and debt with God's Word?God's Word spoken in faith, like a sledgehammer, can demolish any rock of defeat including lack or debt in your life and can create an image of success within your heart. How do you get faith in God's Word to demolish rocks of defeat, lack and debt that would abort your wants, desires and God's plan for your life? You hear God's Word.

Sometimes it is difficult to cut the cord to your enabling adult child when you feel it is against your beliefs. Who is to blame?

Ego is your self image. It is how you see yourself in relation to others and the world. Ego also includes the compulsion we feel to defend the image. The ego is not real. It is a concept, an idea. We have these thoughts and urges within us and we call it "ego". For something that is not real, the ego certainly gives us a lot of problems. The ego's role is to form and to protect the images you have of yourself. If you think you are a "good manager", then you will fight to protect that image whenever it seems threatened. If someone criticizes you, you will feel defensive.

The beginning of January I listened in as Jennifer McLean interviewed guest Geoffrey Hoppe, who channels Adamus St. Germain, on her "2010 Predictions Week" teleseminar series. According to Adamus St. Germain, the theme for 2010 is "trusting in what you cannot see yet," which is part of preparing for 2012. In this article, I discuss three of the important myths St. Germain pointed out in the ninety-minute interview. We will need to let go of these myths as part of preparing for 2012. Myth #1

David Wilcock, in his video 2012 Event Horizon: Prophecies and Science of a Golden Age, states that with the unveiling of the information that has been held secret from the masses for thousands of years comes the potential for what is called apotheosis. The definition of apotheosis is: The elevation or exaltation of a person to the rank of a god.

Letting go is one of the most important, yet most difficult spiritual principles that we are awakening to at this time. Like any art, it takes an open loving heart, expanded awareness, and sustained practice to become masterful. It also requires surrounding ourselves with the people and environments that support us releasing what is necessary in a healthy and positive way. Most of all, letting go requires trust in ourselves and our connection to source for it to become an essential element in our lives such as the air we breathe. Many people have asked me, “How do I let go?

“You don't forgive others to let them off the hook. You forgive yourself and others so that you can clear, heal, transmute and dissolve the emotional wounding, trauma, harm and damage that closes your heart.”

Network Marketing has a reputation for being a scam. It is reported that people at the top of the chain, or who got into the business early are able to make vast sums of money while the rest- over 90% of the people involved in the industry- fail to make a profit. Admittedly over the one hundred plus years that network marketing has been an industry, there have been some companies with really dreadful products who have acted appallingly and left some people with real problems when the folded.

Akashic Records hold the entire thoughts and experiences of our existence; whether you believe you have lived a million lives or just one. Every thought you have ever believed that held a feeling with it is stored in your akashic records. Many people wonder why they say positive thoughts all day long yet nothing changes. As a Dr. of Rohun, I know and understand why, although the law of attraction is at work 24/7, it doesn't always bring to you what you are outwardly thinking. Why?

To the untrained mind, the roadblocks in our lives appear to be just that—obstacles to go around, petty annoyances that dampen our day. As we grow in awareness, we come to view these challenges as growth opportunities, little tests we've arranged to see how we're doing on our path to self-mastery. Often, as I approach another graduation in consciousness, I find myself facing a series of such tests that can feel like midterms and finals rolled into one.

I listened in as Jennifer McLean interviewed guest Geoffrey Hoppe, who channels Adamus St. Germain, last week. The theme was predictions for 2010. I am writing this article because I feel this St. Germain has one of the most informative, higher level understandings of what is happening on our planet these days.

Use your intuition as it is the wisdom within from our Divine self. We are all intuitive beings whether we are aware of it or not. Intuition is a natural ability from Source that we are able to tap into. It is available to assist us in living our life more consciously with intention and fulfillment.

Grief. It’s very real. It comes in different forms, sometimes subtle, hovering just below the surface, and sometimes like a gray blanket suffocating our hearts. I recently received an e-mail from a mom filled with tears and sorrow. Her pain stemmed from the loss of her son…not by death, but ...

There are countless ways to stumble and fall,in both everyday life and in spiritual life.For this reason,the seeker has to be vigilant and watchful like a hawk.The biggest stumbling block on the spiritual path is self importance,or you might say the ego.We work hard to develop an ego,starting from early childhood,when we sense that we need to develop a certain identity, in order to survive in the human world. Gradually, we learn to identify with the persona that we have creat

ENLIGHTENMENT is the goal of human life, for the individual and for the race. Enlightenment is awakening to the presence of God as the One-in-all and All-in-one and then expressing that non-dual realization in every aspect of your existence. Simply put, enlightenment is God-realization, i.e., ...

Know that the connection is already there.rn• Feed it. Throughout the day, ask yourself, “How am I feeding my soul?”rn• Practice the strengthening techniques daily. We have watched our children learn to walk. Each time they took a step and fell on their little diapered rumps, we exclaimed their successes – not once considering that a failure. Likewise, as we practice communicating, every experience is a step towards our success. Understand that only you can do it. r

Just recently I create a vision chart. The chart contained pictures, scriptures, words, and phrases that represented by goals, dreams, and desires. It encompassed core areas including my career, social life, health, recreation, spirituality, education, relationships, and self care. To create my vision chart I perused favorite magazines and cut out images and words that resonated in my heart. Creating a vision chart gave me a keen sense of focus and empowerment regarding my future. Although my life was not aimless, I had no tangible road map.

All of us go through challenging times in our life – times where we feel burned out and depleted; times we face the grief of unbearable loss through death, divorce, or illness; times we just feel dead ourselves as we move by rote - empty of connection, clarity, direction or self love.

Although many people tend to consult the Tarot cards for knowledge about particular situations, Tarot reading can also disclose important information about one’s self. In fact, tarot reading can provide us knowledge about our own, individual natures. When I refer to natures, I am referring to our distinctive personalities and emotional temperaments. Tarot reading reflects your emotions and perceptions. Perhaps the most powerful contribution the Tarot offers is its ability t

Yesterday I was listening to the Michael Baisden show where the topic of the hour was Identity theft. This is not the first time that this was discussed on the show. I don’t remember who the topic guest was, as I was in the car, but the information, testimonies and methods used to get, sell and ...

If you've heard of the best-selling book called "The Secret" you know it has become huge! The concept is, by using this "secret," which is The Law of Attraction, you can create ANYTHING you want in your life: more money, a bigger house, more business, a new mate, literally anything you want! While "The Secret" has many truths in it, it also has many flaws. For one thing I personally disagree with the notion that a person can have just ANYTHING. The reason is... because we were born with different strengths skills, talents, and abilities.

I've worked with a few doze Fire Starter clients in the past few weeks on career optimizing, transitioning, start ups, reinventions, product ideas, social media strategies and balancing it all without burning it out. {And I adore each and everyone of you. I'm thinking about you all right this minute and smiling hugely, because it takes kahunas to show up in the world and sell your soul with integrity, and to turn love into fat cash and ideas into fulfillment. Keep on moving.} I've been hammering on the same concepts with lots of folks. I am known to hammer.

Affirmations are simply positive, or affirmative, statements of truth. The tricky part is that the truth of the affirmation need not be a "present reality;" it can be a future reality you truly wish to create. By declaring this future reality in positive, definite terms, you are tasking your ...

It is raining. Pouring. Again! For weeks now it has rained just about every day. The entire Northeast is inundated with more rain than we can possibly deal with. In the best of times, precipitation is seen as beneficent, raining down life-sustaining liquids for our benefit. And then we are grateful, or ought to be. But there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. We are nearly drowning in the stuff. Saturated, soaked, sogged. Completely waterlogged. Rivers rushing down city streets, the drains overflowing. Towns, fields and highways flooded.

Psychologists have known for many years that people who write their goals down on paper are much more likely to achieve them, and the more specific the goal, the more likely they are to achieve it. Back in the late eighties I attended a course on personal growth where writing your specific goals ...Psychologists have known for many years that people who write their goals down on paper are much more likely to achieve them, and the more specific the goal, the more likely they are to achieve it.

The Chinese character for qi is the same as the character used for breath. When we breathe air we are breathing qi. In English when we breathe in, we inspire or "take in the spirit." Many ancient health practices focus on breathing. It is how we sustain life from minute to minute. It continues without significant cessation from the moment we are born until we draw our last breath. In most qigong practices breathing is done consciously and in a specific manner. The fundamental technique used in most beginning qigong exercises is simply natural breathing.

I have yet to see the movie Limitless, but I must admit the movie trailers aired on television had me very intrigued! The idea of being able to access 100% of our brains capacity is literally mind blowing! Imagine what we would be capable of if we could tap into all of that potential, a world where nothing is impossible seems like it could only be the stuff of movies.r

"Start a huge foolish project, like Noah." ~ Rumi What do a purple sweatshirt hanging from a tree branch, a loaf of freshly baked bread, a dead car engine on a stormy night, and a magical forest cabin have in common? They're just a few of the inspiring stories I frequently share about the role of synchronicity in our lives, and how learning to recognize it, embrace it, and nurture it can be the key to changing the way we live.

Cherish your kids. Love them. Show it. Make sure they feel it. Prove it over and over again. Make them feel like the only kid on earth. Build them up. Shower them with joy. Play with them. Set firm boundaries. Laugh with them. Keep your word. Honor them. Respect them. Not just as little ones. Keep it up through all the stages, especially the teen years.

I didn’t know what to expect when I decided to start doing the daily lessons in my A Course in Miracles text. I had received the book in March 2010 and started reading the text shortly after. I’ve never been one to highlight textbooks in the past, but this book had so much information to digest that I was very tempted! Instead, I took to a notebook, jotting down quotes that resonated with me. After putting a pause on reading the text to focus on the daily lessons, I plan to return to the text and begin the lessons again in the New Year.

As the title implies, A Course in Miracles is a teaching device. It teaches us what is real and what is unreal, and leads us to the direct experience of our own Inner Teacher.

From Joe Wolfe I founded the prison ministry known as Spirit Light Outreach. It’s primary function is to share and deliver Course related books to prisoners. For over six years now I’ve been sending prisoners copies of books, including copies of A Course in Miracles and material written by several well known teachers, like Jon Mundy, Gary Renard, Robert Perry and Ken Wapnick.

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” Proverbs 23:7 (King James Version) Every scripture that appears very simple on the surface has so many levels of Truth unde eath that it can be examined in various layers. Most people are familiar with this verse but may not have taken the time to truly analyze it and understand its depth. Most spiritual people also believe that man is made in God’s image. We all accept a Creator that has the ability to create any desire at will but what does that mean for man?

On January 4th, 2010 Jennifer McLean interviewed guest Geoffrey Hoppe, who channels Adamus St. Germain, in her "2010 Predictions Week" series. St. Germain said that the theme for 2010 is "learning to trust what you cannot yet see," and that the world is currently going through a cycle that will end in three years time. (This theme helps us prepare for 2012.) In this article, I discuss St. Germaine's comment that the United States of America is becoming the "new Atlantis," and that Australia is currently the "runner-up" for this distinction.

From time to time an angel reinca ates on the Earth plane. They are normally from the lower ranks. Clarence in It's a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart is good example of one. They are known as Humangels. They come to re-lea or re-experience. They come to observe. They come to support at time of transition. Like all forms of life, they are sometimes Angels-in-waiting. They are all around us and here's how to spot one: They are drawn to the caring, teaching, healing or creative professions. They often don't know what they are.r

As a stay-at-home, work-at-home, homeschooling mom, my days can be quite hectic. I have clothes to wash, floors to scrub, pets to feed, phones to answer, articles to write, emails to answer and arithmetic lessons to teach (and those are just my morning chores!). So, by the time evening rolls around it's fair to say I'm exhausted!

Intuition is a fascinating thing. As all of our intuitive abilities are either beginning or continuing to develop, more and more of us are seeing the future. Events in our minds are revealing themselves before they actually happen in the real world. This phenomenon is emerging due to the fact that the walls our physical beings have built up separating us from our Divine Truths for several millennia are coming down. This is enabling us to remember our spiritual contracts written before our inca ations on Earth this time around.

Let's face it, we all compare ourselves to others multiple times every day. Since comparing ourselves to others is something we do so often - we might as well learn how to do it right. By right, I mean with the result being that we feel more grateful about our current situation, not less grateful. Feeling less grateful is typically what happens when we compare ourselves to others. Here's a little phrase that I like to use to help me feel more grateful when I find myself compa

Prayer is something people do to ask for, or give thanks for, a desire or a desired or favorable change. There are many different ways to pray; but they all involve thinking about what you want. People using the Law of Attraction are doing the same thing; they're thinking about a desire, or a ...

Inner Growth is the force that awakens, grows, is fortified and mature in a very special way where each heart always has quite long moments that seem an ete ity. Thus, Inner Growth may seem to be an unattainable effort, it is not something simple, it is not as to read a book and to learn the story by heart. Nevertheless it is something that supports us so we can resist the most terrible and tremendous times and help us to make the correct decisions.

Recently on the Internet I discovered a few lists of the signs of spiritual awakening (sometimes also referred to as symptoms of spiritual awakening).

"Personal transformation is the greatest gift you can give to yourself and to the world, because ultimately you are giving the gift of you in your highest and most fully developed form." What we care about-our hopes, dreams, values, and aspirations - are often buried deep in the unconscious. Most of us were raised in a society that supports making deals with ourselves and others in order to survive. We trade what we care about in order to get what we perceive that we need on a survival level. Or we trade what we care about for what we are told we are supposed to want.

Are you an expert, or someone who considers his/herself to be extremely knowledgeable on a specific subject? Did you cure your physical or mental illness unconventionally? Do you have a product for sale that you say will change my life? Then please remember these four words: First Do No Harm.r

Affirmations work because: • Our present reality is a direct result of our thinking • Affirmations change our thinking. • Changing our thinking, changes our realityr There are many ways you can practice affirmations. You can write them down; you can post sticky notes around your home, on your desk or in your car. You can use affirmations with the "mirror technique". You can use affirmations during meditation and visualization. Here are some basics you need to know to begin using affirmations: Use the Present Tenser

What's the purpose of life? Why am I here? What path should I be following? These are questions each one of us asks from time to time during our life, perhaps when we're feeling unhappy, disappointed, confused or angry, or when we're experiencing a sense of awe or wonder at life's mysteries, suddenly aware of how very tiny we are by comparison.

"Your thoughts and beliefs of the past have created this moment, and all the moments up to this moment. What you are now choosing to believe and think and say will create the next moment and the next day and the next month and the next year."rn-Louise Hay If your thoughts and beliefs from the ..."Your thoughts and beliefs of the past have created this moment, and all the moments up to this moment. What you are now choosing to believe and think and say will create the next moment and the next day and the next month and the next year."rn-Louise Hay

"Most people are so completely identified with the voice in the head - the incessant stream of involuntary and compulsive thinking and the emotions that accompany it - that we may describe them as being possessed by their mind. As long as you are completely unaware of this, you take the thinker to be who you are.” Eckhart Tolle Our thoughts control what happens to us. Where have you heard that before? From the oft-maligned The Secret to the resurgence of cognitive behaviour

Psychic and spiritual tools are the key What if there was a secret “on” switch you could flip in your brain—and whenever you turned that switch “on,” you’d access a direct connection to the Divine? That’s right—you’d dial up a back-and-forth, two-way communication between you and God. You’d instantly link to One/All or whatever name you give the ineffable, infinite energies of the Universe. The truth is, you can.

Love naturally flows out of the present moment, which is the only moment that exists. The present moment is what is real. When we bring a memory from the past, a fantasy of the future, a fear, a judgment, or any other self-centered thought into the present moment, those thoughts draw us out of the present-moment reality, where love and the potential for happiness exist, and into the ego's world, which is a world of discontentment, judgment, striving, and desiring. All of the pain in the world is created by identifying with such thoughts.

A primary element of the law of Attraction, and being a deliberate creator, is focus. You are always focusing on something, whether intentionally or by default. But our society has become addicted to stimulation and most people allow the distractions of the day to dictate what they think about. This causes scattered thoughts and lack of focus. A recent survey of my newsletter subscribers asked the question: "What are the main obstacles regarding the implementation of the Law of Attraction in your daily life?" The number one answer was lack of focus (41%).

What do men really want from a woman? Well, it’s impossible for one man to speak for all men. But almost all of us want companionship, sex, and love, not necessarily in that order. Of course, many men like cars, and sports, and gadgets, but that’s not what this article is about. I’m talking ...

She's outlandish, provocative, intriguingly creative. She's not just a singer – but a personal growth leader. Lady Gaga has a message that ignites millions. But why?

If we are awake to it, life's humor is everywhere, as environmental educator, artist and banjo player John Francis, Ph.D., would be the first to agree.

It takes courage and a constant action to break the habit of co-dependency that once may have been your normal way of behaving with your child.

My earliest memory of “connecting” with Spiritual material was perhaps when I first read Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now. I couldn’t really explain it at the time, but his ideas spoke to something within me. The Spiritual text began to make sense on an experiential level. As I shared in his thoughts, it was as if the ideas took on a life inside. I was activated. The power of these shared ideas subsequently became the catalyst for a spiritual quest.

Tantra Massage is one way to worship the divine within you and your partner, and an intimate way of communicating that Divine love through deliberate, attentive, loving touch. Tantra massage is a sexually charged meditation experience, one of several sensual tantric techniques to connect and bond with your partner.

Our emotions play a big role in our lives- but for many of us the role they play is too much the improper role of master of our behavior and not enough the proper role of trusted informant of where we are placing the creative power of our attention and thus what we are in the process of creating in the invisible world of spirit and mind.  While it may be fine for infants and little children to let their emotions dictate their behavior, it is not a sign of a spiritually ma

What are chakras? Chakras are energetic spinning wheels which reside in the spiritual body. Each chakra represents a different emotional layer. When you have thoughts and feelings which are negative they can get stored inside of your spiritual body and chakras. When your chakras are filled with gunk this can lead to various illnesses, body aches or feelings of depression and anxiety. The best way to clear your chakras would be to meditate or get an energy healing session.

Why are so many people resistant to the M word? We know it's good for us and, it only takes 10 minutes a day. So why aren’t you doing it? If you’re a self-proclaimed type-A-functional-ADD person like me, your answer to that question is probably “Uhh,” and on to the next thing you go. Meditation is an act of doing something but nothing, which is harder than it seems. You sit, breathe and try to release thoughts from your mind and your whole body benefits as stress melts away.

I am Kryon of magnetic service. The medium has asked me to talk a little about my creation, my origin and my universe from which I come. As you may have heard already I am from a universe that is called Quadril 5. Quadril 5 is a magnetic universe. The pure magnetism that is there keeps the energy from densifying. The main task of Quadril 5 is to send other universes magnetism and to align the magnetic belt that each galaxy possesses. Quadril 5 is also the oldest universe.

Realizing Your Potential There are a lot of people who have come to me to say "The Secret" doesn't work for me. I've tried to manifest (money, relationship, health, etc.) but to no avail, it seems not to work for me. There are people who want to make some amazing, positive, changes in their lives but truly have not been informed as to 'how'. This is where I come in. I usually go over the critical 10 list with them, one by one, and we begin to sort out all that truly needs re-examining first. It's like going to a new restaurant: You need to look at their menu to know what to order.

Change feels like tossing a coin up in the air—you don't know which way it will land, good or bad for the ego? The ego is deeply conce ed it will turn out badly. The ego considers the worst case scenarios and fears the worst. It attaches a story to what's going on: "My life is going downhill."

Lucid dreams of course are dreams that seem very, very more realistic than ordinary dreams, and in which one is consciously aware that they are dreaming. The more experienced one becomes at lucid dreaming, the better they can control it. Experienced lucid dreamers can make their dreams extremely realistic. Once you are

Emotions can be placed on a graduated scale from lowest to highest. Any counselor will find it beneficial to know where her client is on the scale, and to know the clients likely reaction if he were to rise or fall from that position. Knowledge of the scale is similarly helpful in everyday life, especially in relationships!. When you're experiencing negative emotion, you are less intelligent. When you feel good, you are more intelligent.

Yesterday, after boiling water in the tea kettle, I reached out to move the frying pan out of the way. What I did not realize is that the handle for the pan had been placed above the burner I had been using and as I reached for it, I scortched the skin running from my little finger to my wrist. A loud crash ensued as I dropped the metallic object onto the stove. Its contents flew everywhere, all while my voice projected a painful scream.

Since the popular book and movie The Secret hit the shelves in 2006, the concept of The Law of Attraction (LOA) has spread like wildfire, attracting believers and critics alike. Believers—who call themselves “deliberate creators”—practice the processes of positive thought, affirmative thinking, and visualization, believing that whatever we think about (wealth or poverty, joy or suffering, love or loneliness) the Universe will deliver.

We are water ... we flow together Sitting near a creek this morning, I was reminded how the continuous stream of moving water carries the experience and memory of every surface it touches and every environment is passes through before it arrives at the sea. Dr. Emoto confirmed what many water scientists had already known for many years. Water's molecules and clusters remember everything and take on the molecular structure of the memories most dominant in its experience. Water, turn, influences everything it touches.

Our ego has a lot of needs. It wants to be safe, it wants to be comfortable, it wants to be stimulated. But most of all it just wants to be appreciated. Appreciation is the deepest need of our ego- deeper even than love (at least what the ego thinks of as love). The ego craves appreciation and it will go to great lengths to find it from outside itself. If it isn't feeling appreciated in a job or in a relationship, it will soon start seeking a new job or a new relationship whe

Recently, in response to an article I had written on Forgiveness, I was contacted by a person who said, "Physiologically, the brain can't forget; I'd like to forgive, but how can I forget what was done to a young child? How can I forget that trauma when I am alone at night in the dark...?" ...

Last week, I received an email from a reader stating, "I have evolved past the spiritual understanding of author." I chuckled at the reader's bluntness. He didn't mince words; clearly, he felt that he had developed capabilities that were not only greater than those of "author" but beyond the "understanding of author."

No matter what you're looking for in this world, or in this lifetime, chances are that the underlying reason you're looking for it is so you can be happier than you are now. Think about it for a second; you certainly don't want more money and better health so you can be miserable. Likewise, if ...

When I heard that Dr. Wayne Dyer had a new book out entitled, The Power of Intention, I was intent to have a one-on-one discussion with him about this universal force in nature, especially after my recent conversation with Dr. Deepak Chopra last month which ended up as an overarching theme in the two part interview on the same subject.nnDr. Chopra had this to say about the power of intention, “…we unusually think of intention as just a thought but intention is a force in

Nineteen years ago, I lost my younger sister. It was sudden and tragic. The pain was much, the wound was very ghastly. My heart bled for the loss of a sister, confidante and friend. I thought I would never be able to laugh again. In fact, I lost hope in everything. Then, memories of good times we spent together began to unfold like a fresh lotus. Her wonderful, kind and gentle spirit, her philosophy of living in the moment and the way she lived a life of giving in cash and kind. This was the beginning of the healing process which turned things around for me.

Are you willing to commit the next 30-90 days to this prayer? Can you visualize yourself in the place of being with your soul mate? Are you ready to replace the negative self talk with positive thoughts, words, and actions that will attract your soul mate? Will you allow God to work through you and guide your life? If you have answered YES to these questions, then you are ready to receive your soul mate. You have decided to stop attracting troubled relationships, you have do

Thinking about the day, and a message that I could pass along to you in the newsletter, I decided to pull a Tarot card for inspiration. Seven of Pentacles - Patience In the deck I typically use, The Robin Wood Tarot Deck, the Seven of Pentacles is shows a man standing in his garden, leaning on a hoe. The leaves of the plants, which look to be pumpkins, are fully grown, green, and healthy. The sun is shining and it really looks like a beautiful day on a mid-west farm in middle

I am so proud of our military and how day in and day out they are defending our country. These men and women are truly standing firm as they do their job with great passion and focus. Do your kids know that God wants them to have this same kind of passion and focus while being on duty for Him? First Corinthians 15:16 says this: “Be on your guard, stand firm in the faith, be men of courage and be strong.” Doesn’t this verse sound like the perfect Scripture for any soldier?

Recognizing Synchronicity ~ Guidance from the Archangelsr By Heather Fanjoy, ATP®

These are practices that I do whenever I am trying to release a pattern that no longer serves my highest good. I am using smoking as an example but you can fill in any other habit instead of smoking like drinking, drugs and other addictive behaviors. It is easier to release old patterns and ways of being if you can increase your awareness of what is underlying the addictive behaviors or bad habits.

When you think of the great enlightened masters, they all seem to share many similar traits: Unusually intelligent, charismatic, can do miraculous things, and they all exhibited the use of the Sixth Sense. The Sixth Sense or Psychic Sense is anything that excels beyond 'basic' sensory. * So a dog that can always sense when its owner is coming home, * Waking up in the middle of the night and feeling something is 'strange',

I recently had a conversation in my mind with a former boyfriend of long ago. Fifteen years had passed since I last saw him and in my pretend conversatio I was realizing how different I was from the person I was in those days when we were together. My first reaction was to jokingly make light of the patterns we chose to maintain for three years. This was something I always did, fought off something serious with humor. Why face up to something when you can laugh? Don’t get me wrong, laughter is the best medicine, but only when it is not used to suppress hurtful or painful emotions.

If you have been trained in Reiki, one nice way to deepen your practice is by developing a relationship with your Reiki guides. Reiki guides can be thought of as intermediaries between yourself and Source. You may ask, "who are these Reiki guides"? Reiki guides are those in spirit form who ...

I was reading Caroline Myss’ book Defy Gravity the other day and I came upon the word surrender. For some reason it gave me pause, and immediately I decided that it would be the subject of my next article. What is it about the word surrender? Why did it seem to be something I needed to give more thought to?

As a Transformation Coach I love my clients, just as I love my readers. That is why at times I must use tough love in order to encourage others to dig deeper, look truth square in the face, and make a commitment to change. Either you want to transform your life or you don’t, and I hope you do, which is why I am offering this healthy dose of reality—with love. “But” is the word that usually precedes an excuse. The dictionary defines an excuse as: “self-justification; ‘a defense of some offensive behavior or some failure to keep a promise’.”

Addiction in the city, addiction in the country, addiction in the suburbs, addiction in the schools, addiction in the churches, addiction in the legal system, addiction in the government, addiction in business, addiction in medicine…we simply can’t get away from it. Or, is there another way? What if you didn’t have to buy into everybody else’s reality of addiction and recovery? Could you then end your addiction without the limitations of this reality? What if you recognized addiction as your ultimate distraction, the way you are keeping you from you?

Four Steps for Empowering Change By Sandy Brewer, PhD ©2012 Change is tricky. We begin with the best of intentions but even when we perceive that we are putting our proverbial best foot forward, our efforts often only meet with failure. So how can we bring purposeful change into our lives and leave behind the baggage of the past that so often defines and limits us?

True Forgiveness and the Benefits When you practice true forgiveness, you get in touch with your Higher Self and you are willing to see with its eyes through the false images of your ego. You accept that your Higher Self sees the person you are angry with, as their true essence, unconditional love, unending peace, expanding joy and in Oneness at all times. You accept this about yourself as well. You remember that you are never upset for what you think you are upset about. You recognize the reflection of what is unconsciously in your ego.

There is a plan, a specifically designed destiny for each person on this earth. This destiny is productive, fulfilling and very rewarding. All other destinies pale in comparison, falling way short of the true destiny created for each person on earth. The problem is most people live and die without ever fulfilling their true destiny. Therefore it is important not to settle on anything but your true destiny to have a productive, fulfilling and rewarding life during your earthly pilgrimage. I will explain in two steps how you can achieve your destiny and fulfill God's plan for you.

Today, in my workbook practice of A Course in Miracles, lesson 281 resonated to the core of my being with an astounding feeling of truth. Lesson 281 states “I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts.” As the sentence finished the whirling sense of truth began to fill my mind. The course teaches us that we have never left our home in God we just think we have and our thought of this has created the dream we see with our eyes. Each time I believe that someone, something, some event or some issue is causing me pain, I am not thinking about the truth of my Self; I have never left my home in God.r

An addiction is a dependency on a substance, behaviour or thought process that came about as a coping mechanism for the pain felt inside, and as a way of getting though life.

Every great thing that exists in our world was once a thought in someone’s mind. Even the chair in which you sit as you read this article was designed in the mind of its creator. The imagination is one of the most powerful tools we possess. When everyone on the planet engages their imagination, we will have a much brighter world! Any time someone sees a problem, it is a stimulus for the imagination. As a teacher, I sometimes hear students complain. They don’t like the way they are tested, they think the questions are too tricky orrnhard or not specific.

I’m doing my second round of A Course in Miracles and the lesson that really struck a chord with me lately was: “Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.” I immediately recognized the truth of this request. So often we think we know what the problem is, when clearly we don’t because our solutions don’t work!

The Sixth Sense is something that is usually misunderstood. Many see it simply as intuition. And it is as you are first developing your Sixth Sense. You will find that you have an inner knowing, a sense of direction that you never had before. You might find that time after time you are in the right place at the right time.

It’s no wonder that psychics get a bad wrap when it seems like nearly every portrayal of anyone with intuitive gifts is labeled in modern day media as crazy or delusional. The thing is everyone can be psychic; we all have moments of knowing something that we can’t possibly know otherwise. So, why is this perceived as such a strange thing, when it is something that we can all do?

How to have a closer walk with God? Christians have struggled with the flesh since the early apostles walked the dusty roads of Jerusalem, hence the Bible states, "The spirit is indeed willing, but the flesh is weak" (Matthew 26:41b KJV). How do you overcome the flesh to have a closer walk with God? Can you overcome the works of the flesh in your own strength? Not hardly. But before you role up your spiritual sleeves to tackle this task of overcoming the flesh to discover how to have a closer walk with God, let's first define what the flesh is.

We hear a lot of people talking about manifestation. Henry Ford said, "Think you can, you can. Think you can't, you can't. Either way you're right!" The mind is a powerful mechanism for producing what we want or don't want. How, then, can we insure that we produce what we want? First of all, it helps to use some reasoning. What is most important to me? What do I want out of life? Is it money? Fame? Recognition? Comfort? Many people don't give deep consideration to the quality of life they want to live.

Why are there so many stories of dying people seeing their loved ones around them when no one else can? If death is imminent such as in a fatal accident, does the spirit leave the body before the trauma occurs? Do good and evil people end up with the same experiences of death? Is death the same thing as a near-death experience? Do we live more than once? Where do we go after death, and can we visit our loved ones on earth again? Do we get to decide what happens to us after we die?

Okay, so if you've been reading my newsletters, following me on facebook or attending any of my workshops recently, you know that I've been having a good ole' time with my Spirit Guides lately. I've been meditating, contemplating and channeling all kinds of inspired information from my beautiful friends from beyond the veil.

The other day, as I found myself reading, for the millionth time, about our failing economy, I thought about all those who are struggling financially right now, and the enormous burden of fear and insecurity that seems to be running rampant among so many of us right now. I was in the process of preparing a press release, and decided to address this very issue.

"Live each day as if it were you last." It sounds wonderful doesn't it? What would today look like if i truly lived it as if it were my last? Would i get out of bed? i might just stay a while - not out of depression but because it's so peaceful, so safe, so genuine with being. Would i waste the time required to shower and shave? Would i brush my teeth? If i were a woman, would i bother with makeup? What about clothes, would they hold the significance they typically hold? Would i go to work?r

Imagine I am the speaker before a large audience. I ask for a volunteer from the audience to come alongside me and help with a demonstration. I suggest that some people present may already be familiar with what I am about to demonstrate and that those for whom my exercise is new should know that it will demonstrate the power of thought.

In 1992, a Chinese freighter mistakenly dropped a crate of 30,000 rubber duckies into the Pacific Ocean. Three months later, many of these “friendly floatees” were discovered on the coasts of Indonesia, Australia, and South America. Some daring ducks headed toward Alaska by crossing the Bering Strait and even sailed through the Arctic Ocean, finally landing on the coast of England. Due to the accidental release of the rubber duckies, scientists were able to better understand ocean currents and wave patterns.

We have all heard the name of one of the greatest love manuals of all time, the Kama Sutra. The history of this book is quite fascinating as it offers us a glimpse into a culture where spirit and sex were seen as complimentary.

Most of us identify with our thoughts and assume that we are the mind. However this is not the case; you are not your thinking and you are more than your mind. Thoughts flow through your mind like water down a stream every moment of every day. It has been said that an individual entertains over 60,000 conscious thoughts each day, and even this is probably and understatement. Many people suffer guilt, frustration, and anger toward the self because of the thoughts that flow through their minds.

Some years ago I wrote a book on visualization, including practical knowledge of how to understand and harmonize with Universal Law. When the book was complete, there was a final and crucial missing element: a title. I did not have a title I was satisfied with. I had lots of ideas jotted down in notebooks, on the backs of envelopes and scraps of paper, but nothing really struck me as being the right title.

Shakespeare is known for the quote, “To thine own self be true,” from his play Hamlet. People throughout history have yearned for the knowledge of how to be true to the Real Self. When children are young, they seem very free in their expression. A child’s laughter is one of the most beautiful sounds: full, joyous, and resonant. Unfortunately, many of us learn to squelch that natural laughter, to subdue our energy, or to be “seen and not heard,” so that by the time we are adults we have difficulty knowing who we are.

Enlightenment is a process of peeling back the many layers of your ego to experience your true radiant Self. To drop into enlightenment right now, takes absolute total surrender to What Is. Start with letting go of all efforting to get somewhere better than here now, and start playing like a curious kid again. What is here now is the God Source, what could be better than that? This will bring you closer to enlightenment instantly. You already have unlimited potentiality and a

Get out of your own way. Too often you over think things and end up doing nothing because you have got yourself into such a state of confusion. To allow your guidance to come through you have to stop over analysis, over thinking, and just allow everything to come forth. Allow the guidance to be recognized. You cannot follow both the guidance and your logical mind. Logic is based solely on the material world and on man’s perspective.

In Tantra the essential premise is that we are all already awakened. And, we come into this world to learn disce ment and to master various aspects of life. For myself I know that I chose to master this life in many ways. I knew from a very early age that I was on a spiritual self-mastery path. What this meant for me was that my soul set up all of the experiences in this life; the family I was born into and all of my life circumstances that would provide for me the catalysts I needed to master myself.

Spiritual addiction is an addiction that is not well recognized and yet it is quite prevalent in our society. A person will become addicted to spirituality, and from the outside, appear to be leading an exemplary life. However, the addiction here is chasing the high of spiritual connection in order to avoid the pain of life. Spiritual addiction is one of the hardest addictions to accept and recover from, because the condition is largely unrecognized and outwardly, these people are looked up to for living a spiritual life. Also, the high is very addictive, free, and blissful.

Practice Blessings As you bless your food, your dreams, your mission, your purpose and your goals, your life magically improves wherever you are. (It's not really magic.) If you were God wouldn't you love to give things to someone who appreciated everything you did for them? I believe so. So when things get really tough, find something to be grateful for and bless it. After 9/11, I, like much of America, felt shock and complete upheaval. It didn't seem like there was much to bless.

How to stop lusting after woman or any other thing? People have struggled with how to overcome lusting of the flesh since they first fell from grace and walked the dusty roads of this earth, hence the Bible states, "The spirit is indeed willing, but the flesh is weak." (Matthew 26:41b KJV). What is lust? A dictionary definition would be: "1) intense or unrestrained sexual craving 2) an overwhelming desire or craving." Lust is about pleasing oneself and can lead to "unwholesome actions to fulfill one's desires" with little or no regard for the consequences.

This is the third most common question that I am asked by clients. How did they get to this point in their life where everything seems to be falling apart.

To resolve or not to resolve… that is the question! Every year we all take the opportunity to symbolically start another year with a clean slate. Many of us reflect on the past year to assess whether we had a good year or not. Did we accomplish or goals? Did we fall short? And then after we’ve evaluated, we make new determinations to either further our progress or reattempt to accomplish the goals we failed to reach in the previous year. But what is the true meaning of a resolution?

It's easy to get caught up in negative emotions, often without even realizing it. Stop for a moment and check in on how you're feeling. Is there anything bothering you right now? Perhaps it's something to do with your finances, your job, a particular relationship, or your health? If you look beneath the surface, however, you'll discover that it's really none of these things that are troubling you. What's really bothering you are the stories you're telling yourself about your current circumstances.

According some ministers and many alte ative health experts, many of the diseases prevalent in the world today, are said to have their roots in spiritual health and well-being.

Tantric sex activates energy centers in our spine affecting our health, mind, emotions and spirit. But, just like driving around in LA, getting around this tantra grid is impossible without some guidance, a map to follow, good eyesight and a reliable car. Then all you have to do is fasten your seatbelt and drive safely. Tantra is no different. You need to understand the energy system based on the chakras before you travel that road. Tantra Chakras, or wheels of life, are energy centers located along the spine in the etheric body.

She can be the woman in the market with the bruises on her face and you look at her with pity, wondering why she stays. Or she could be the woman at gatherings who goes off by herself, seldom speaking, quietly watching—a shell of a person. She could be your sister who never wants to come to the family events or if she does come with her partner, you question the relationship. She could be any of the nameless women moving through their lives carrying “the secret”.

Agora comes from the Greek word for marketplace, and phobia means fear, therefore, agoraphobia had to originally mean fear of the marketplace. In many cases agoraphobia still means just that: a fear of public places such as a shopping center or marketplace or any such location. However, today's definition has a much more expanded meaning that also includes a fear of any sort of open space, public or otherwise. The symptoms of agoraphobia are most unpleasant and debilitating. Agoraphobia, depression and anxiety disorder tend to go hand in hand.

What if it were true that there is only "one Soul on the planet at a time"? How would this notion effect you? Would it change the way you live? Would it help you see others in a different light? Most of us have a common belief or understanding that we are in some way interconnected. However, we still go about our business and busy lives as if we are completely separate and unique from everyone else. But what if there really is only one Soul on the planet at a time. Would it c

Some things matter too much to the ego, and this is a source of unhappiness, things like performing perfectly, looking a certain way, having certain things, and so on. The flip side of this is that many of the little things that actually turn out to matter, especially to true happiness, are overlooked and underrated by the ego.
