Excerpt from Chapter 1: The physical worlds, planetary systems and universes are connected through energetic and electromagnetic lines and grids which overlap in such a way as to unite homogeneously. They all converge at one Source, the original Universal Creator-Source from which all Life ...Excerpt from Chapter 1:

"One's own self is well hidden from one's own self; of all mines of treasure, one's own is the last to be dug up." Friedrich Nietzsche "Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." Carl Jung

What Is In Your Aura? Believe it or not, your Aura, also called your Electro-Magnetic Field and your Bio-Energy Field, has various bands of consciousness that provide information about you. Your Aura field gives out vibrations and frequencies that other individuals “pick-up”. If there is compatibility, a match is made, whether romantic or friendship, you are resonating with another person. If there is no resonance, the other individual could be perceived as an “enemy” or least someone that you don’t like!

Tools & Techniques for Fighting Fair A major challenge in any relationship is handling conflicts. We all have conflicts and disagreements but how we handle our conflicts can mean the difference between an emotion-driven shouting match and creative problem solving. Having a conflict ...

If you are really passionate about spiritual awakening then spiritual discipline is most important. For spiritual awakening to happen there must be that build up of energy and there must be that in-your-face awareness of yourself. You see, the moment your go for that beer, that glass of wine, that bag of junk food, that sexual release you escape your experience and you lose that build up of energy that was there inside you. The escape feels good. It feels like a relief, but then afterwards, that Shakti is gone and you are left feeling empty and depressed.

Guardian angels have long been watching over us. Since time began, and in every culture, angels have been with us in one form or another. Representations of the angelic realms tend to come to us at times of personal, spiritual awakening. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that records of angelic interventions are found in almost all the systems of religious belief from Christianity and Judaism to Islam. Both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible contain plenty of angel stor

It’s important to know the break-down regarding why the words “Zealous” and “Zen” were chosen as the topic for this article. It might be best to explain the definitions of both to see how they “fit” in this author’s perspective. “Zealous” means to be actively interested or enthusiastic about some pursuit or topic. “Zen” is the practice of experiencing wisdom in the attainment of enlightenment. It is not based so much on theoretical knowledge as it is on direct self-realization that comes through meditation and the “dharma” practice.

We live in a country where the people live for relation. India is the country in the Indian sub-continent. India is an ideal example for the rest of the world for its massiveness and fairness. India is the ancient civilization of the world with multi-cultural identity and a crowded parity. India is known for its rich culture, generous government and unity in uniformity. Marriage is believed to be very auspicious to have a good life. It is believed that pairs are made in Heave

I was watching Oprah last night, and she had Nadya Suleman as a guest. She had octuplets a couple of years ago and, as you might imagine, was feeling extremely overwhelmed and worried about how she was going to continue to care for her family. In this show, Oprah talked about how our society is addicted to judging others. Nadya has been put through the wringer in the press and judged very harshly by the public. And while her situation is extreme - we can all relate to her in some way. We have all had days when we just felt like we couldn't do it anymore.

In the Conclusion to 'Walden', Thoreau writes, "If a man loses pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured, or far away." Aquarians are eclectic and imaginative thinkers ~ sometimes erratic, sometimes brilliant and always stubborn. Yes, Aquarians are thinkers who know much about the world, but knowing "everything" often becomes an obstacle to their own happiness. As Einstein said, "Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."

Black and naked (except for a necklace of 50 human heads)—hair wild and tongue out, Kali certainly knows how to make an entrance! Brandishing a sword and a human head in her two left hands, she destroys everything in her path and then dances maniacally upon the dead. In terror, awe and morbid ...

The Lack of Grace “Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others." -Thomas Jefferson

Though mou ing the many losses (broken bonds) across our years is a natural (instinctive) reflex, it can be slowed or blocked. Incomplete or "complicated" grief can promote serious mental, emotional, physical, and relationship problems. Our feelgood, warp-speed society ("Don't Worry - Be Happy!") doesn't teach us how and why to grieve well or encourage us to do so. One result is that incomplete grief is often mis-diagnosed and medicated as "depression." Another is that average lay and many human-service professionals don't know how to assess for unfinished mou ing.

Why is there the perception that it takes a long time – and a long, painful process – to heal emotional and physical issues? The truth is, it is not necessary. Everyone has the ability to participate consciously and proactively in his/her own healing process. How does it work? By getting in ...

"If you practice being present in meditation, you will find even beyond the thinking that there is this reflexive urge to separate yourself from this moment. It is almost like two magnets that repel each other with all of their strength. This is the ego. You could even define the ego as the action of separation from this moment. Because if you are fully present in this moment, there is no ego. There is no sense of "me." There is still awareness but all inclusive awareness. There is nothing separate from it. You can experience this at any time.

"If you try and still the mind, it will be the mind trying to still the mind. Rather become aware of the mind. Become aware of the flow of thoughts. Not to define the thought or relate to the thought. But to impersonally be aware of the thought arising and dissapperearing without any attachment or aversion to it. In witnessing the thoughts, they will become more subtle. First the thoughts will become impersonal. You will experience visions and dreamlike states that have nothing to do with you or your personal life. At this stage of witnessing you are free

While most Americans consider Yoga as a form of exercise to increase flexibility and stamina, the yogis use it as a spiritual technique to become one with the universe. Yoga is not just a series of breathing techniques, strange body movements and mantras but takes on a deeper level for those ...

Our language brims with words and phrases about the compelling power of the Moon in our emotional lives. How about being ~ “moonstruck?” When a person wanders around in a dreamy sad listless state, we might say they are “mooning” about someone or something. (Of course, “mooning” someone is something else entirely).

Yoga Nidra is deep sleep. Many people mistakenly believe it's twilight sleep, that stage between awake and dreaming, but it's even deeper than that. It goes beyond the dreaming stage and into a state of conscious deep sleep. While that sounds like an oxymoron, it's not. It's the third of the four levels of consciousness where there are no images in the mind. Mental images live in the domain of a waking state, the first level or the dreaming state, the second level.

WHAT DO I PACK FOR A GUILT TRIP?

You do not need to feel overwhelmed by stress, fear, fatigue, or anxiety. Use these simple mind over mood tips to feel better and calmer.nnStaying In the PresentnnA mind over mood strategy that can be very effective is to stay in the present. This means to focus on things that are going on in your immediate environment. Often times worries and stress are a direct result of focusing on things that have happened in the past or being concerned with things in the future. Staying

This one word of one syllable, this little four-letter word causes so much trouble and prompts so many people to ask questions of its nature and its hold on us. Most questions about fear have to do with getting rid of it, overcoming it, fighting it, and last but not least, being free of it.

In the fall season of reflection and connection, we gather to celebrate the abundance in our lives. As we look across the proverbial table at the harvest we’ve collected – our relationships, love, family, joy, and friends, it becomes remarkably clear that we are a sum of many parts and that each of these parts are interconnected and interact with each person in our lives.

The book “Angry All the Time: An Emergency Guide to Anger Control” is a best-selling classic that has helped tens of thousands of people overcome their problems with anger. The author of the book, Ron Potter-Efron, Ph.D., is a clinical psychotherapist in private practice with a special focus on anger management. In addition to "Angry All The Time", he’s also the author of "Working Anger: Preventing and Resolving Conflict on the Job "and "Stop the Anger Now".

In my profession, I’m often asked what tarot cards are and how people “read” them. Simply put: tarot cards are a tool -- nothing more, nothing less. They happen to be a really good tool if you consistently use them the same way. These days you have “tarot” cards that are not “tarot” at all. In fact, even the classic tarot decks include added cards and pictures that came after card-reading ever began. So if you’re relying on magical cards to tell you the truth, forget it. Paper, print and pictures came long after divination was born.

First of all, put yourself in a meditative state of mind. Meditation is, like Michael Beckwith puts it so wonderfully; "to pay undistractable attention to Reality" It's so true; and so we begin with that. Close your eyes. Get yourself into a vibration of unconditional love, get still, with the intention to listen deeply to whatever comes when asking the following questions. Put yourself in a relaxed state of mind; an attentive stillness. Pay attention to your breathing, and when (slowly) ask yourself these questions and listen deeply.

Just because music says it’s suitable for hypnotherapy or hypnosis sessions doesn’t mean it actually is. It’s not enough to have some gentle new-age music going in the background and hope that your client is going to relax and go into a nice, healing trance. That melody that was so good to listen to while you were doing chores around the house or just sitting and relaxing can be quite distracting when you’re trying to achieve deep alpha or theta states. As a hypnotherapist, you need music that follows some very specific principles:

So much has been said about gratitude lately that I almost didn’t write this article. Then, I stopped and listened to my internal dialogue. Did I really hear an inner voice saying that my readers might 'get tired' of the message? As I let that voice go, it was abundantly clear that the energy of Gratitude clearly wants to be expressed. nnOne of the greatest gifts of Gratitude is the receptivity and openness that it creates in our hearts. Have you ever noticed a greater

Awareness is where manifesting begins—not with the awareness of what you want, but rather with the awareness of where you are in the moment, what you have right now. Once you have the awareness that you are complete in the now, then you are ready to step into the process of manifestation. If your awareness is on the things you don’t have, you will create more lack, so it is critical that you gain clarity on what’s in your mind. It is also critical that you look at the things you desire to manifest as if you already have them, or as if you know that you are already in process of creating them.

First, as I've stated before, you need to spend the time reflecting on your strengths: innate talents, abilities, gifts, and desires. After a long period of reflecting, writing and trial and error, you will find what you came here to this life to do.

A great number of self-improvement gurus speak of wealth. If you turn on the television, surf the internet, go to the book store and look at the best sellers list, a great number focus on financial well-being. There are those who speak of other aspects of self-improvement; however, the majority promote that which will fill the seats: monetary gain. Even the great Napoleon Hill, of Think and Grow Rich fame, spoke of financial wealth even though he invoked religious and spiritual themes.

Have you ever felt like jumping off a cliff? I understand this sounds drastic but what I mean is: Do you ever have that feeling that you just want to break free, like you want to overcome your fears and just jump off that cliff into unknown water? Have you ever felt like you’re stuck in a life not of your own making and you want to spread your beautiful wings and show the world who you truly are? If any of these thoughts or feelings sound familiar to you, it means that you are ready!! You are READY to step out of your shell and overcome your fears.

Let's face it. New Year's Resolutions are bogus. Who invented these instruments of torture anyway? Was it some evil Cardinal in the Catholic Church who used the practice of writing down the faults we wish to change as a method of selling more indulgences to the peasants? Okay, now I'm making crazy talk. Of course there's nothing sinister about self-examination and setting up intentions to release unwanted baggage in our lives. But why do so many people feel cranky and depressed at the very thought of this tradition?

EACH YEAR, hundreds of "revolutionary" self-help books, articles, groups, and programs appear on a wide range of human stressors. Publishers and producers keep chu ing them out because (1) the old ones don't work for long, and (2) the needy, hopeful public keeps the cash registers ringing. A classic example is the ceaseless hawking of new "miracle" diets and weight-loss books, programs, videos, and articles. Some of these may actually promote losing unwanted pounds for awhile - but the flab often comes back or increases.

We all have stories that we tell about ourselves based on the way we perceive our lives. Some of those stories may be in which we make ourselves victims and some are one in which we allow ourselves to be inspiring to ourselves and others. Here’s an example: 1) I’m 50 years old and I’m young for my age. I got laid off my job and got the opportunity to relax, exercise, take a good hard look at my life and what I wanted and reinvent myself. The government sends me money (unemployment checks) while I’m doing this.

We have now seen that Jyotish is one of the limbs (Angas) of Rik Veda. In fact, Jyotish is considered the most important of all the six Vedangas. Just as Vedanta, the most important of the six Upangas, contains within its fold all the knowledge and principles enumerated in the other five Upangas, so Jyotish forms both the synopsis as well as the culmination of the other five Vedangas.

Namaste beloved friends of Love and Light! I send you streams of love from my heart and I hope you are doing fine! Today I want to get into romantic relationships and personal sharing a bit for I AM actually in a wonderful divine relationship with a fine Lady and such a beautiful daughter of God, not only is her physical body breathtaking, no sir, even her Mental and Emotional and spiritual Body’s are of a sparkling holy beauty. And I love her very deeply like I have never before…;)

Paying attention to our intuition from the beginning can save us from a lot of heartache. I love this quote by Oprah Winfrey: "In little whispers... your intuition is telling you something. Did you not pay attention? The universe will speak to you a little louder - with a little tap on the shoulder. Then you get hit in the head by a "brick". Still not paying attention? A brick falls on you. Still not hearing it? Then you experience a full-blown earthquake".

To be a light worker is to become a liberated human being, a real player and server in the life process. It is only in and through individuals who are real players—the ones who have realised what a privilege it is—that God (or the energy and intelligence that started the creative process) can actually do anything. If you put yourself in God's position, you will see that you wouldn't be able to create the future in and through a selfish, self-centered person who experiences inca ation as a burden.

It is interesting to see how much of the so called New Age thoughts are a more fashionable continuation of deeply ingrained religious beliefs. And as religions have been the expression of incomplete insight into the nature of our own self, of God and of the world, so are the modern New Age thoughts oftentimes an expression of ignorance, and of incomplete knowledge of reality. It still looks as if people are more interested in mysterious believes than in real knowledge! The problem with real knowledge however is that it is hardly available.r

If you feel afraid, anxious, or alone during difficult times, I invite you to make friends with the Divine. A close relationship with God helps you feel calmer, safer, and more optimistic. Every individual can enjoy a personal relationship with the Divine if they wish to, no matter where they are in life.nnYes, your relationship with the Divine may FEEL one-sided in the beginning, but soon you'll notice subtle changes that help you recognize the Divine's presence with you. Pe

Honoring Dedicated Deed DoersnnThe Greatness Of FollowersnnI often hear people saying words to the effect that it is better to be a leader than a follower. This type of thinking, is most often expressed in business, but it has permeated into mainstream modes of mentalities.nThere are quite a few unwarranted stigmas attached to being a follower as opposed to holding the ‘better’ and ’greater’ position of a leader.

If you are seeking enlightenment, it is important to understand that there is a huge difference between the new age spiritual teachers that are popular today and the enlightened beings who have actually attained full enlightenment. In the past, the majority of enlightened beings came from the East, places like India, China, Korea and Japan. Historically, teachings on spiritual enlightenment probably started out in India. From there it branched into Hinduism, Buddhism and then traveled further east turning from Buddhism, to Zen.

Who The Hell Do You Think You Are? No Really... ...who do you think you are? I ask because before we can talk about our self image, it would behoove us to know just what a self image is. My research over the years taught me that the problem even with the phrase self image, is that we use this phrase to mean three completely different things that get lumped into 'self images'. The problem is that only one of these three things are true self images. Those three processes are: Our relationship to the environment.r

I work with many people of various ages, backgrounds, belief systems and cultures. The one prominent common denominator in those who are able to make a shift into wellness is an understanding of personal responsibility. Individuals who can embrace and recognize their behavioral responsibilities in life to themselves and those around them are a step ahead in the awareness that can facilitate healing.
