***There Is No Reason for Breathlessness in Public Speaking

One of the most common complaints I hear from my clients is that they run out of air in public speaking. This may be a problem for you as well. Do you know why this is happening? Many who teach public speaking will tell you it is because you are nervous. Certainly nervousness exacerbates the problem but it is not the cause. The reasons you are breathless in public speaking are because: 1. you do not allow yourself to breathe; 2. you do not think to breathe; and, 3. you wait until you are totally spent before gasping for your next breath.

***What is Karma? And Why all Karma is Neutral in Truth…

The Master Jesus said, “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” The Kybalion says, “Every cause has its effect; ever effect has its cause; everything happens according to law; chance is but a name for law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the law.” In Eastern philosophy this is simply called the law of karma. The most basic explanation of karma is “cause and effect.”

10 Helpful Tips When Dealing With Difficult Employees

Confrontation in the workplace in the form of a difficult employee brings with it itâs own set of unique challenges. Managing difficult employees can be a problem that can leave even the most seasoned manager shaking in their boots. Based on this discomfort, the manager often takes the path of least resistance and either ignores the problem, or works around the difficult employee, which inevitably creates additional issues. Case in point. A friend relayed a very interesting

Are we living for working or are we working for living

As a last argument in a debate, my best friend asked her husband: - “Are we living for working or are we working for living?” You can guess; the argument was about how much time they spend with working and how much they have left for the family. How many of us are in the same situation? The economy is quite challenging lately, we want to maintain, even flourish our businesses, no matter if they are currently small or large. We try everything what we can to make it happen; but for what price?

Budgeting Software Options

Researching your budgeting software options can be overwhelming if you’re just getting started. I believe that whatever is the most easily executable option—meaning that you can get set up and manage it consistently—wins out over anything else. The point is to get started, because that is the hardest part (or should be).

Discovery of The Mind

Not even the greatest inventors and discoverers of all time really “discovered” or “invented” anything, they just became aware of a concept, or a possibility that was there all along. The Earth did not become round, when we discovered it was not flat. The Sun was the Sun long before humans became aware of and started to contemplate the great big yellow object in the sky. We do not need to re-discover what “everyone knows”; things and concepts that are part of common knowledge.

Evolutionary Spirituality and Evolving Beyond the Ego - Four Steps to Spiritual Evolution

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.

Five Ways To Help Your Child Resist Peer Pressure

Wanting to be popular and accepted by others is a need that goes deep; it may be hard wired as part of our evolutionary survival strategy. We automatically seek out a safe space and a social group where we feel relaxed and accepted. Children are more vulnerable than adults and their need for protection and support is clearly visible whenever they feel uncertain. This makes the peer group a powerful need and a strong influence for good or otherwise as children seek out acceptance and are fearful of rejection.

Greatness: Do Only Some People Have Greatness?

There are both general and specific ideas and opinions around what greatness is. And what will form these ideas and opinions will be influenced by the age that one lives in, the society they are raised in and what one values themselves. This can range from the current societal models, such as: footballers, musicians, writers and actors. In the media these are often held up as the ultimate forms of greatness. And when it comes down to day to day experiences, one might think of other examples of greatness. These could range from: firemen, doctors, therapists, teachers or nurses for example.r

Which of These Persuasion Techniques Best Suits You?

Over the years, salespeople have given themselves a bad reputation for being pushy and persistent when the customer least wants it. No matter what tools of persuasion they have under their sleeve, people try their best to resist them. The image of an annoying door-to-door salesperson is constant on their mind. But when you think about it, we’re all salespeople. We sell products, ideas and beliefs to other people as well as to ourselves. We also use the different tools of persuasion to put our message across. Some of us are better at it than others though.

The source of all misery and suffering is the illusion that we are separate from God. This illusion creates the fear that we will never get what we want or we will lose something we have and don’t want to lose. When this fear arises, it creates another illusion that if we don’t get what we want, we have done something wrong or we are in opposition to “God’s will”. This raises the question of what we really want.

Using Emotional "Harmonics"

It is not so surprising that when we experience an emotion our brains emit electromagnetic waves of a particular shape and frequency. All vibrating things have harmonics: all it means is that at the same time as the original (or fundamental) is emitted, vibration at a higher frequency (usually exactly half and even a quarter) is emitted alongside or inside the wave. Just as strings on a guitar or violin have harmonics, so do the emotional waves that we emit. The first (sound) harmonic is an octave and the term “octave" is used in theosophical writing of all sorts.
