and pack a monstrous suitcase full of just about everything, only to kick yourself later because it was so heavy and you only used about half of what you brought? Too much baggage is a pain in the ass. Let’s talk emotional baggage for a minute. Everyone has an emotional suitcase and through the years circumstances and life in general causes people to put negative emotions in their suitcase and carry it along day to day. It’s called emotional baggage for a reason. It is luggage full of painful and negative emotions that people NEED to leave behind, but for one reason or another don’t.r
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD or ADHD) is a neurobehavioral developmental disorder. It is the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric disorder in children affecting about 3 to 5% of children globally with symptoms starting before seven years of age. It is characterized by a persistent pattern of impulsiveness and inattention, with or without a component of hyperactivity. ADHD is diagnosed twice as frequently in boys as in girls, though studies suggest this discrepancy may be due to subjective bias.
The other day a client told me he had been taking anti-depressants. I didn’t know him to be depressed, so I asked if he had been diagnosed. He said he went to the doctor because he’d been having trouble sleeping and he’d been stressed out, and the doctor prescribed anti-depressants. I was shocked to hear this. He said he’d been taking them for a few days, but that he’d been feeling even worse than before, so he stopped taking them. This I was not shocked to hear.
Fall The leaves are falling, falling as from far, from wilting in the heavens' farthest gardens: They're falling to negate the summer's mirth. And in the nights the heavy Earth falls into solitude from star to star. We all are falling. This my hand here bends. And look at others: Fall's in all their calling. And yet there's One, who's holding all this falling forever tender in His uptu ed hands... Rainer Maria Rilker Enchanted Autumn

by Jeanne Ball Meditation shopping? Sounds like an oxymoron, right? Yet millions of Americans are seeking tools to turn within. As a nation we've tried to fix our problems with everything from psychotherapy and Prozac to positive thinking and politics.

I'm often asked how I got involved in color healing and so I thought I'd share my story here on this first post. In the beginning, there were Crayons and I knew it was good. I received my first box of these waxy creations when I was about three years old, and it led to years of self-imposed coloring therapy. Whenever I felt inspired or just wanted to block out my noisy family, I'd empty the yellow box onto the floor and let the Crayons roll where they may until I caught them and laid them out in front of me like an exotic Oriental fan.

There is no doubt that public speaking is a battle, a battle often lost because the speaker is trying to be something or someone he is not. What is interesting about public speaking is that you stand a much better chance of winning the battle if you would stop trying to impress your audience. Instead, you should express to your audience. Good public speakers talk to their audience, not at them. They treat their audience just as if they were having a conversation in their living room. For some, however, that is the battle.
Imagine being alone all day, living in the same environment you've explored thousands of times.

What’s the best way to define your life purpose? Your purpose is unique, is your definition of how to define your Life Purpose, different from others? I was in conversation on Skype with a dear friend last week, who said she had done some guided meditation to get clarity on her life purpose, but not got any further with it.

Why do some connect with their purpose and others do not?
