Inner Peace Articles

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Most people seek a spiritual goal projected from the content of their minds. They workout a system of their own or seek a religious or spiritual guru to lead them to the goal. They do not sense the inherent self-deception involved in this process.

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

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

Fighting Fibromyalgia Researching this article the first description to appear on the search engine was “Fibromyalgia is a fairly common long-term (chronic) condition that causes widespread muscular pain. It is not inflammatory or degenerative so it won’t cause permanent damage to your muscles, bones or joints. It is not life threatening or progressive”.

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

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

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

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

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

Functioning within the habitual thought-swirls of the mind leads to several unfortunate mental states that spoil our lives. Self-awareness and listening to the movement of life can free us from those states and help us lead a peaceful life.

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

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

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

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

It's that crazy time of year again when lists are made with often unachievable, sometimes downright ridiculous goals. Three people I know have already decided on theirs. One is currently eating through the Christmas food like there is a famine approaching so she can start a diet on January 1st, another has signed up to a gym but she doesn't want to actually start until New Year (although she has bought all the kit), and the third is "absolutely, definitely" going to give up smoking this year "for sure". Sound familiar?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I am sure you have heard the phrase “just take a deep breath and calm down.” This common technique of breathing to calm one’s self is more powerful and significant than one might think. Fully imagine yourself in each of the following situations. With each one, enact your experience with a focus on how you would be breathing. 1) You are sitting in rush hour traffic, inching along.rn2) You are giving birth to a newborn child.rn3) You are riding a rollercoaster.rn4) You ar

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

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

What is Hypothyroidism?

It has been known for a long time that the human mind is a small subset of a vaster consciousness that is much superior in its awareness and perception. We get an inkling of it from some paranormal phenomena. Our minds usually circle within a limited zone of awareness. That leads to the formation of the ego and its domination. Looking into the wider consciousness, we have the opportunity to release ourselves from the tyranny of the conventional mind. Here some paranormal phenomena can be of great help.

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

We have come so far from truth in many areas of our lives that sometimes it seems difficult to find our own inner truth. We have accepted the little white lies we tell ourselves and others for so long that we have drifted to a place were the truth feels so uncomfortable we don’t want to hear it. Society is filled with uncertainty because we really don’t know each other anymore. We don’t reach deep enough within ourselves or others to find the truth. We live on the superficial layers of life. We almost rely on someone not digging or pushing us to think deeper.

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

“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” Charles Swindoll This weekend I have had to stop, take a deep breath and reclaim my sanity. My son is ill. He is now into his third week off school with no clear answers as to what is wrong with him. He has been for numerous tests and I, as a holistic therapist,have been refraining from treating him until all his test results are back which will hopefully be later. Frustrating.

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

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

THE SPIRITUAL LAW OF ATTRACTION Over the past few years I have become increasingly fascinated with the whole concept of metaphysics or The universal law of attraction which is the term most of us are more familiar with. I began to explore and embrace affirmations especially those of Louise Hay who has guided many people gently through the process of transforming their thoughts to assist in bettering their lives and healing themselves physically and emotionally.

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

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