If you've made the choice for a richer, more empowered life ... and your life-path seems "bumpier" than ever, please don't be discouraged. If you've been striving for greater wholeness – striving to heal a part of yourself or your life that is causing you pain – only to find yourself in greater turmoil, don't give up quite yet.
Knowing how to braise is a cooking skill that’s widely misunderstood. Knowing WHAT to braise is even more confusing to most home cooks. Now, it’s time to end any confusion about this ignored way of cooking because I’m presenting the information to tomorrow’s chefs at culinary college. Our braised food will be served by the companion hospitality class in the school’s dining room in an ‘a la carte’ style. This means they’ll be bringing us restaurant tickets like real waiters and waitresses.
Victor Borge, the late, great, Danish comedian once said, "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people." Well, it can also be the longest yard in trying to make an audience laugh, as I tell you what happened to me when I once performed on a cruise ship. Remember: when it comes to public speaking start powerfully to get the “undivided” attention of your listeners and then build to a large close. I thought! Oh, my God... I-Am-In-The-Bermuda-Triangle-of-Humor!
There are many books, dvds, articles, lectures, courses and more about the Law of Attraction. You can learn how to use the Law of Attraction (LOA) to create more wealth, better health, a new car, a great job and, yes, a passionate love relationship or marriage. But here's the big question... Once you are in a love relationship or marriage, can you also use the Law of Attraction to get rid of all of those irritations, annoyances and harmful habits that drive you further and further apart from your love? Our answer, unfortunately, is “No.”
“Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.” – Confucius There are a lot of ways to get what you want, some of which are simple and others a little more complex. In this day and age, the principles of persuasion are crucial. We’re often called upon to make arguments and win other people over. And it seems empty charm can only get you so far.
Tantric Qigong, Mindfulness, and Flow Mindfulness, which is often thought of as a Buddhist concept, is really about being Present. Presencing is one form of self-inquiry (which can be done as a meditation or as coaching) as is Tantric Qigong. These art forms are about getting out of your head, your mental analysis, comparison and judgment, and becoming present to what really IS. It sounds simple, and it is. However, this is not very easy for most people.
Can You Create a New Habit in 21 Days? "Fake it 'til you make it." We've all heard the cliche for approaching something that seems out of reach. There may be some method to the madness of that approach. But have you ever given much thought to what it takes to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be when it comes to eliminating old habits and forming new ones? Success is habitual. We have all witnessed those who seemingly achieve amazing feats over and over. Think of Tiger Woods, Michael Phelps, Michael Jordan.
The simplest way to understand what The Law of Attraction is that your thoughts create your reality. Everything you are right now is based on your thoughts in the past. The first step to making the Law of Attraction work in your life is to understand your thought patterns. Both your conscious mind and subconscious are constantly busy with thought. It's believed that the average person has about 50,000 thoughts per day. That equals 35 thoughts per minute! It would be impossible for you to monitor each and every thought you have.
By America’s #1 Love and Marriage Experts. We have often wondered over the years if the “stuff” that makes marriages work in the Judeo-Christian tradition around the world applies to marriages in predominately Muslim countries. Our first country in which we interviewed married Muslim couples was the enchanted nation of Morocco.

If you’re like a lot of entrepreneurs I know, business bravery can be a tough energy to tap into. But no matter what approaches you take to care for your energy, one of the quickest ways to take your business to the next level and start Being Considerably Huge™ in your business is to start taking risks. This may seem like a very simple statement and also a tall order, but it’s really where the heart of the matter lies for most of us.
Love can’t exist without boundaries, even with your children. It’s easy to understand exte al boundaries as your bottom line. Think of rules and principles you live by when you say what you will or won’t do or allow. If you have difficulty saying no, override your needs to please others, or are bothered by someone who is demanding, controlling, criticizing, pushy, abusive, invasive, pleading, or even smothering you with kindness, it’s your responsibility to speak-up. Boundaries also are also internal, discussed below. There are several areas where boundaries apply:r
If you are a manager, strong workplace relationships built on good communication will help you achieve success. Here are three practical steps you can take to make you a better communicator at work. We all know people who seem to be natural communicators at work. They communicate confidently and well with others. People respect them and help them achieve their goals. So what is their secret? Is it possible to become a better one-to-one communicator if it doesn't come naturally? Most definitely! I have seen people transform into great communicators, once they set their mind to it.
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.
If you’ve ever said something you considered to be completely innocent, only to have your wife or girlfriend flip out, you may have stumbled on to one of these taboo topics: 1) “Relax” You may think you’re being helpful, but to us, it feels like you’re being dismissive of how we’re feeling — in our minds, you’re telling us that what we’re upset about really isn’t a big deal. The thing to remember here?
It is an act of will – a decision, that's all – that starts a person on the mystic path of being one with the Almighty. After that initiation, it is events of the person's life, and the “voice in your gut” that are the training, the lessons. Seeing a pattern in the events of your life is seeing your path. The focus of your path is what you do, not what you believe: God wants you to think or believe in whatever motivates you ahead in your growth. (It's not the dogma, it's the doing.) Ignored lessons recur in ever harsher more obvious forms!
Top Five Basic Stretches to Promote Flexibility There are many views about stretching and its benefits. If done properly, stretching can be a relaxing and stress relieving experience. Some say that we should stretch before exercising. Others say we should stretch after exercising and still others emphasize stretching before and after. There is no substantial evidence about the benefits of stretching as it pertains to exercise or that it helps prevent injury.

Think about the people you see all the time. How well do you know them? You could be missing out on great conversation or making a good friend. Use great conversation questions to get people to tell you their stories. People will tell you amazing stories when you care enough to ask. Your new best friend could be one question away. Letâs Start With Ruth My elderly friend Ruth lives in Florida. When we talk on the phone, she complains about her blindness and her health troubl
written by Sue Susskind Caregiving for a loved one can be both rewarding and stressful at the same time. It is a satisfying feeling to know that your loved one is getting wonderful care because you are providing it, but often times the emotional and physical demands can take their toll on you if you do not take the time to take care of yourself. Caregiving takes a lot of time, effort and work.
Why is that we all have to do everything the same? Why is it that we all have to be alike and why is it that if we don’t do what others do and if we don’t behave like the rest of the world we are seen as being weird, strange and so on… I love when I meet with people that are not afraid to be themselves, people who are not afraid to show the world who they really are, people who are not afraid to show their real identity, their beliefs and their strong and unique personality. You know what I have noticed, and this could be best seen on Halloween.
You've tried making more money. You've tried cutting back on expenses. You've tried borrowing and consolidating. You've tried some sure-fire quick fixes. You've denied the situation and justified it because others are in the same situation or worse. And besides, when the kids move out, go to school, or you give up the house for a condo, there will be more money and you'll have two incomes again! If you have more debt, not including your mortgage, than you could pay off in three months-yes, three months!!
You might be agreeing with me if I ever told that honesty is the center of any personal success. All our relationship will be more productive and meaningful while we are truly honest. That is the stability and wellness that we usually are looking for in life.
There are certain components of the strategic planning process that should be in place to develop, implement, and effectively monitor a strategic plan. This article provides a brief overview of the steps involved in strategic planning. The first component is preparing for the strategic planning session. Prior to engaging in strategic planning, the organization should conduct a SWOTT analysis.
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. - John F. Kennedy How trustworthy are our words if there is no action behind them? We can tell our kids not to smoke, but if they see us smoking, can we realistically expect them to listen? We can say we care about our health, but do our eating habits support our claim? The old adage rings true: Actions speak louder than words. It is not just the words we say that reveal the condition of our hearts. People watch what we do more than what we say.

One of the most destructive and disturbing narcissistic personality disorder traits is a severe lack of accountability. This is in fact one of the most powerful warnings that you are dealing with an individual who has Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Sibling rivalry, political disappointments, workplace issues, abuse, betrayal, and infidelity are just a few of the many reasons that people have for harboring feelings of anger and resentment. Although anger is an emotion that is as natural as any other, it has a tendency to eat away at the soul of the person who does not understand its role in their lives. Yes, anger does have its place and everyone will experience it. In fact, this emotion is highly beneficial to us at times. However, you do yourself a grave disservice by remaining angry.
Trust is the fuel that propels teams and organizations to high-levels of success. Yet, organizational leaders today unknowingly do almost everything in their power to sabotage trust. The primary way in which trust in organizations is sabotaged is by a leader’s communication style. One particularly egregious style of leader communication, which significantly undermines trust, is called “indirect communication.” We have all fallen victim to indirect communication at one point in our professional or personal lives. For example, have you experienced…
The awesome foursome is not a group of ninja turtles who save the day. They are four nutritional supplements that are essential to increasing the survival rate of heart patients. These are magnesium, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), L-ca itine, and D-ribose. If you ever heard Dr. Stephen Sinatra speak, cardiologist, speaker and author, you would know that you can help supply more energy to your heart with these four basic nutritionals than with most drugs. This is metabolic cardiology.
One of the most pervasive feelings that stops people from stepping up to living their highest calling--their Divine Purpose--is the feeling that what they have to offer the world is not of value. We are our own worst critics, and as we look at what those who have come before us have accomplished, we wonder how we could do it or say it any differently. Thoughts like, “Who am I to be doing this?” or “Who would ever want to hear what I have to say (do business with me, utilize my services--you fill in the blank for yourself),” come up when we think of putting ourselves out in the world.
Hormonal changes, emotional changes, physical changes, and all the attendant stresses of pregnancy may cause extreme fatigue and emotional swings, especially during the last trimester. One midwife advises: "This is the perfect opportunity to touch your own deep emotional truths … to acknowledge and resolve your inner disharmonies, and to recreate your life as you create another life. The emotional changes experienced during pregnancy are not to be avoided, but valued; they are cathartic and valid."
As the movie ‘2012’ plays in theaters, I am reminded that in 1999, I wrote the following as my mission statement: “My mission is to raise the consciousness of the planet through Radical Forgiveness and create a world of forgiveness by 2012.” Even then I thought, who the hell did I think I was to imagine I could make this kind of a difference? How grandiose of me! Was I really being serious?
I recently left my full-time corporate job to follow my heart and join the ranks of the self-employed, turning my coaching practice into a full-time venture. During my final weeks in the office, I remembered how important it is to truly connect with other people. As word got around that I was leaving the company, many coworkers asked about my future plans. What was I going to do?
rnTime and time again, the question seems to come up from men that really want to turn around their personal life and finally get the reaction from women that they want. Guys want to know how they can turn a friend to a girlfriend and there is a very common and a very good reason for this. Men almost always find themselves falling into the position of being a friend to a woman that they would much rather date than anything else. If you want to turn a friend to a girlfriend, t
A question that seems to be surfacing a lot lately is how to build good credit . Some people that I talk with have experienced financial difficulties in the past and are now trying to rebuild their personal credit. Others are new to credit, especially young people, and are building credit for the first time. Rebuilding after difficulties and having no credit can be similar. If you do not use credit or have not used it in the past, there is no credit use to rate and thus the affects can be similar. No use or a poor record can be limiting.
If you are familiar with me and my concepts, then you may already be aware that I have been trying to help change some of the negative views that many people have about psychics and what they do.
One of the most important things as a speaker has to do to make an impact with their audience - is to control the environment they are in. Believe it or not, some speakers get the “gig” (aka the engagement) show up at the correct time and realize the seating arrangements or the lighting is off. Trust me: If your lighting or environment is not at optimal levels, your performance will suffer and you could get a poor evaluation.
The vast majority of people raising children are ill equipped for the job. Now, we all know the general comments like “How come they don’t teach you about this at school?” or “Why is there no training to be a parent?” But that’s not what I’m talking about. Those of us who are parents know that nothing, but nothing, actually prepares you for the day you bring your first child home from the hospital. But that’s not even what I’m talking about – I’m talking about something a lot more fundamental – and something that is ruining the next generations’ lives. Decades
One of the basics of rules of aromatherapy is that they must be diluted to be applied to the skin. Making your own massage oil can be a wonderful way of using essential oils.

n When you said your vows, what were you expecting? I suspect if you were like most women, you thought you were entering a partnership. You would enjoy shared power, right? I bet you’ve discovered something quite different, though. I bet he likes to have power over you, isn’t that so? And to ...
If you’ve ever been in a relationship with someone emotionally unavailable, you know the pain of not being able to get close to the one you love. They’re evasive, make excuses, or just inept when it comes to talking about feelings or the relationship. Some use anger, criticism, or activities to create distance. You end up feeling alone, depressed, unimportant, or rejected. Usually women complain about emotionally unavailable men. Yet many women aren’t aware they’re emotionally unavailable, too. When you get hooked on someone else who is (think Carrie Bradshaw and Mr.

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.
The Premise: The Search for Love Everywhere I look, I see so many people searching for love. I know people who either have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, or a significant other whom they are intimate with, yet they tell me they feel lonely and without love. I even have friends who are married who inform me they feel no one loves them. Do you feel you are in this same predicament, searching for love? Why Answers Cannot Be Found I have found that many times, the answers to our most fundamental questions are in plain sight. However, distractions blind us.
This month is the 10th anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11, 2001. Below is the transcript of an interaction we had with a participant at a Monday Night Alive! shortly after those devastating events. As we read it, we felt that that interaction is still appropriate and applicable to the lives of people today. So we are sharing this article with you to read with fresh eyes.
Psalm 37:4 says “Delight yourself in the Lord and HE will give you the desires of your heart.” What does this passage mean? To the typical Christian in today’s society it means, “Be happy and in joy because of your relationship with your Lord God and for what he has done for us as a people, and He will fulfill your heart’s desire”. Now let’s break it down and see what the original meaning from the Hebrew means. The word delight comes from the Hebrew word, anag, meaning “make yourself moldable and pliable”.
One of the most annoying traits in speaking is the use of verbal tics. We have all heard them at one time or another. If you are aware that your speech is plagued with these filler words, it would be a good idea to work on eliminating them because they take away from your message: your audience loses focus on what you are saying. Instead, they begin counting! Words like um and ah are the most obvious. They are common; they are annoying; and, they mar your speech.
This is an interesting time to be alive. While it seems on the outside like chaos, I am seeing things in a different way. The way I see it, lots of people are getting more of what they really want by getting a big and unexpected push. You might be scratching your head right now and saying to yourself “that gal is crazy – totally nuts”.
