Have you ever considered the affect that emotions have on your physical body? What fools indeed we morals arer To lavish care upon a Car, With ne'er a bit of time to seer About our own machinery!rn~John Kendrick Bangs We often take our bodies for granted and neglect to maintain them in the way that they need. Your body is a machine not much different than that of your vehicle which has parts that need to be kept in functioning order. Imagine never changing the oil in your car; how long do you think it would continue to run?

Have you ever felt the presence of an Angel? Have you ever asked an Archangel for help or assistance? Have you ever wondered if Angels can really assist you? As I think back, it seems that angels have always been one of my favorite things. The angel on the tree at Christmas, I could barely stop looking at; as she felt like more than a tree top ornament. As far back as I could remember, they seemed like messengers or connections to the Divine presence. Whenever I felt scared, I remember searching for their presence to calm me; for I knew if I could connect with one all would be fine.r

Life happens – a constant flow of joyful and painful change, and everything in between. Human resistance is as certain as change, because when the negative ego dislikes anything that is unfolding in life, whether it’s minor or profound, it will seek a means to avoid it. Unfortunately, wanting things to be different than they are through ego-control only amplifies trying circumstances and creates suffering. Ego can make a mountain out of molehill, and protest against almos

Lately, I've started becoming slowly aware of how what I think, say and do aren't exactly aligned. What I mean here is that sometimes I say or do things that are contradicting to what I actually think. One of these scenarios would be at my school. See, due to the haze, schools were closed, but since the weather got better after the first day off, my school gave us the option to either stay at home or attend school on the second day. On the third day everything would go back t

Have you ever let music transport you to a different space? Have you ever had music unlock your own inner muse? Have you ever experienced visions or connected to your true self while listening to music?

The whole world wants to have answers. We get rewarded for having the answer. We get to be right, be smart, or feel important. And there we stay or accumulate more answers. This is a knowledge filled world, so it demands answers. The value is in the answer. You get money or you get prestige. Of course, most new inventions require an openness to see possibilities, but inventions are built on previous knowledge. I am speaking here of the psychology of our minds, and what happens in the mind that is looking only for answers.

What if you were a natural at something from a very young age? What if you knew as a child just what you wanted to do in life? Have you nurtured the talents you were born with? Every now and then in life we see those that seem to just be naturally talented. It is as if they are born into their gifts. They start to work with something as a child and they never give up on it. Mozart, Picasso, and many others that have been noted in this field have often had this.

You know, perspective is everything. I see more and more, no, I feel more and more how our choices in every moment create our realities. I recently attended a little people birthday party and was closer to the end of the 3 hour party window. The party was quite a distance for me to drive and during a busy day but I joyfully made the commitment to attend because I love celebrating with little people. My heart sank when the host’s first words were “well, finally! I thought you

What is it that keeps you blaming everyone else and everything else in your life including God or a higher power for the way things are? What is it that has you so convinced that you are not the one creating your exte al circumstances? I remember as a young child being told that if I did anything bad God would punish me. I believed this to be the truth and grew up being afraid. Did it stop me from doing bad things? No, however the guilt and shame that I felt afterwards was always there.

Our day to day life is usually lived through our ego, the very thing that knows the least about how to live life. And although it may seem surprising that the ego knows very little, if you take a look at the kinds of things it tells you to do, you will most definitely see this is true.

Letting In A Spiritual Partner Isn't Always Easy. There is no doubt that the spiritual journey can be a profoundly lonely one at times. Which is why there are times when we just want a cuddle. We just want to look directly into the eyes of a warm, breathing, loving and aware; partner.

The Wonders of Water: Metaphor in Motion You may agree that the greatest metaphor for life is held deep within the beauty of water in its many splendid forms. It speaks for itself when you simply look at the rippling rivers, luminous lakes, wondrous waterfalls, sparkling streams and omnipotent oceans that abound us. This article was written as my personal invitation to inspire you to new levels of appreciation and higher awareness so you may become more grateful for the intri

Dharma needs to be followed both by individuals and by the collective society as a whole. When an individual is out of alignment with dharma, their life becomes disjointed and they cease to have a harmony with the world around them. They become self-centered and self-absorbed. When a society, a nation, state, social or religious group, is out of alignment with dharma, the society begins to fragment and lose its balance.

The evolution of life starts from the tiny unicellular organism to reach the human being, but it seems that human existence is not the apex of organic evolution. Human existence has never been in such a boiling state as it is today. The reason is that the human mind knows fairly well that it is not satisfied with technological development and sensual pleasures. It has the intuition that something higher and more beautiful awaits it on the evolutionary path, yet it is confused

So, what is the story that you're telling about your life? When someone asks you "how's it going?” what do you say? It's almost an automatic reaction to discuss what's not going so well, after all, we're bombarded with negative talk all day long. It's on the radio while driving to work, it's on our computers, and it’s in the newspapers, all over the television screen. It's hard not to get caught up in the negativity that pervades our environment. Yet, if you're looking to make a positive change, you cannot allow yourself to continue to tell the same story over and over again.

I have recently been experiencing living in “Flow,” and I have to say, I have been amazed how much my life has improved, my attitude has shifted to being optimistic, relaxed, and happy. By being in Flow, I am attracting more positive experiences, higher level of connections with others and reduced stress, fear and worry. In addition, I am attracting more abundance and success. Life has fewer struggles, and my to-do list is almost effortless! I have gained a new perspective ov

"Two souls, alas! Cohabit in my breastr A contract one of them desires to severr The one like a rough love clingsr To the world with the tentacles of its sensesr The other lifts itself to Elysian Fieldsr Out of the mist on powerful wings.” (Goethe, Faust I, Sc.2, Louis MacNeice translation)

Religious thought is cluttered with claims of superior knowledge and direct access to God. Statements and iron clad guarantees about what constitutes truth, and in the context of their competitors, untruth. This continual disagreement and debate on what truth actually is leads many individuals to question what they believe in the first place. Its plain to see that a bulk of people do not realize or comprehend the difference between that which is 'believed' to be true, and th

The Gifts of Forgiveness

The human DNA is a biological in many aspects to the artificial one. There is evidence for a whole new type of medicine in which DNA can be influenced and reprogrammed by Light & Sounds frequencies WITHOUT cutting out and replacing single genes. According to the Russian researchers, our DNA is not only responsible for the construction of our body but also serves as data storage and in communication. The Russian linguists found that the genetic code, especially in the apparent

How many times have you thought “If I only knew then, what I know now”? How often have you wondered if you had the information that you needed to make wise choices along the way? Have you ever wished you could get some help or glimpse into the future to know what to do or what path to stay away from?

Dear Jan: My family keeps kidding me that I have a bad attitude. Maybe I do ... But what difference does it make? Hey, I’m over 21 and I’ll have any attitude that I want! When you can show me that life will be any easier if I change, well then maybe I’ll consider it... Signed: So What!!! Dear So What: I think it is a pretty safe assumption that life for you must be frustrating, unfulfilling, and certainly not the motivator that gets you out of bed in the morning ... How do

We come into this world so innocent and trusting. As a baby we know only how to be. In each moment we express what we are feeling. We do not question it or wonder if it is right. As we begin this journey we express our natural gifts and talents from our innocence. All too soon the outside world begins to influence us in ways that shape who we become and what we express. Those who love us, whom we trust, say and do things from a place of not knowing, a place of believing they

These days the words “spiritual”, “consciousness “and “awareness” are thrown around in popular culture like trophies won by those who feel they have the answers. The answers to the really big questions – like “why am I here?” and “what is my life for?” Can any person really know “the” answers, or is knowing a personal thing? Is there one answer to every question or do the answers need to fit into our ability to understand – to conceptualize – to really grasp what it all might mean?

When you are centered and aligned in your “being,”rnthe next step in the “doing” becomes clear. She said, “I love the idea of what you are talking about, but how do you actually do it in today’s world?” He said, “We are way off on our numbers for this quarter. Things have to change, but how?” They said, “We know what has to be done, but somebody please answer this simple question: How do we do it?” In today’s complex, rapidly changing, and unpredictabl

How much do you value your time? Do you willingly trade it to the highest hourly-paid bidder, or is your time invaluable? How do you use your time? Is time getting the best of you, or are you making the best out of your time? What follows are 10 very good reasons why you should start paying attention to how you spend your time: 10. Time is Finite It doesn’t take a genius to observe the fact that your time is finite. You can earn more money in this life, but you can never ea

The ‘heart of the matter’ is an expression that refers to the most fundamental piece of information. Perhaps this is derived from the truth that your heart is the centre of your energetic-spiritual being. It is an intuitive, intelligent centre. And, it is essential to understand that the heart, like any other part, can get distorted, weakened, and misused, even in the name of spirituality. The heart is the first layer to our soul matrix and synthesizes Source energy with

A great many people are seeking to be enlightened, or what is often spoken of as "awakening" or becoming "conscious." Some have been searching for years, but any kind of sustained enlightenment continues to elude them. When we search for enlightenment, or struggle to awaken or become conscious, we are really saying that we are not happy with ourselves as we are now. We feel somehow inadequate as we are now—even perhaps apologetic for who we find ourselves to be.

One of the single-best ways to “see” whether or not your thoughts have a creative influence on the reality around you is to begin thinking about something in particular, and then observing its reflection in your immediate environment. For example: If I set an intention to manifest more money for myself, and then over the next two or three days begin stumbling over quarters and dollar bills while I’m going for a walk – I’d assert that there’s a correlation going on

How simple is your life? How real are you living? Is your life filled with complicated situations or the need to be something that you are not? It is so easy in a world that runs at such a fast pace and full of technology; to make things complicated. Many people get wrapped up in worrying about being good enough, solid enough, presentable enough; and really in just being enough. This can be a really vicious cycle for anyone.

Pure Joyr When we are in the non-physical (spiritual realm) we are totally aligned with the pure and true energetic vibration that can only bring pure joy. I find it interesting that our spirits choose to come into the physical form full well knowing that we will begin to be influenced by our parents, our siblings, society, the world and these encounter will cause us to depart from our true self of pure joy.r

The Divine You “The stage is set, reputation preceding; summoning the star in the seated spectator; a performance at your command; Heaven’srnovation standing; God’s cause for applause!” ~Douglas E. Holzmeier “Be you to full. Beautiful!”

The worldwide web is rife with ads for books, seminars and movies about the “the secret,” all promising to reveal “the most powerful law” in the universe: the Law of Attraction. The film, The Secret, is described in Wikipedia as a self-help documentary presenting the law of attraction through a series of “short dramatized experiences and interviews” with “personal transformation specialists, spiritual messengers, feng shui masters, and other ‘experts.’”[1]

Does the way we state things influence the way our brain receives the information? Does our brain need certain components in order to have clarity so that it can process what is being asked of us to an action? Can shifting how we communicate change our behaviors and help us live in greater clarity?

How are your interactions with others? Have you ever thought about how your interactions affect your spiritual path? What types of interactions do you usually have with others? It is interesting that as focused as we can be in the outer world in this human existence; that we also often don’t make the connection of interacting with others as part of our spiritual processes. For many people, they think of a spiritual awakening as coming from within; and on one hand it most certainly does. On the other hand it is interestingly an outer trigger that leads to the inner change or shift.

One of the favored topics of discussion today is the topic of intention and free will. Are you of the opinion that intention creates? What I mean by this is do you believe that intention can shape or manipulate one's reality? Are you of the opinion that human beings have free will? Two very complicated questions with very complicated answers. The answer to both questions is yes and no. How can one question have two answers you ask?rn rnOne hears the age old questions 1) “if

How do you deal with the times where things feel hopeless? Have you experienced a period in life where it felt like you would never get out of it? Have you spent time in a space full of confusion and disorientation? If you have answered yes, to any of these questions, then you have had a taste of living in the dark night of the soul. These periods in our lives can be quite disorienting, challenging, and bring up a whole range of emotions. It is in this period that we may question every part of our life and even ourselves and abilities.

What does it look like to feel limitless and creative? How does it work? Becoming limitless can seem very nebulous. Through this article we will discuss how it works, how it feels and how it can be achieved. Most people following a spiritual path have come to believe that their thoughts create their reality. This is only part of the equation, and a person must move beyond this to create limitlessness. As a person starts to question what they have believed, the process of lim

Do you ever really stop and think about the weather? Have you ever wondered beyond the scientific explanations what causes a natural disaster? Are you a person that pays attention to which way the wind blows literally? I have always found the weather and natural disaster patterns that happen in the world quite interesting. Even as a small child I would look to the skies often and see what was blowing through, what they looked like. I have almost always wanted to know what direction the wind was blowing from.

The only true “boss” of your reality is you. Regardless of whether you own a business, or if you've worked at the same job for seven years - you're still the CEO of your own reality. You can temporarily “give up control” of your choices, but you can never give up responsibility for choosing to do so. To put it another way; you're choosing to choose to have someone else choose for you (say that five times fast ;) ). And while you can temporarily relieve yourself of hav

The Intention or the power of intention is one of the most powerful forces in the universe, we just need to learn how to “work” with it, in a pure and harmonic way, respecting the universal balance, with an attitude of cooperation, essentially. The intention has always had a very active role in healing. Let us call it placebo effect, extra motivation, or as commonly known in Reiki, the intention to be a pure channel of universal energy.

In an ideal world, we all take responsibility for our actions and our words each and every day. Some of us have learned in adulthood to let go of difficult childhoods where our voices were not heard or did not matter, or where our dreams were not encouraged. We may have learned to let go of our childhoods, which may have been wrought with abuse, neglect, sadness, and disempowerment at the hands (or words) of those who were responsible for our lives. We may have learned to le

Are you a spiritual entrepreneur who is feeling like no matter what you do you can't seem to shift certain blocks to success in your business? Are you feeling frustrated, confused, alone, on the verge of giving up? Are you here to just exist, or are you here to experience life as something joyful, expansive, expanding and nurturing? I think the answer to the above question is self-evident. Your spiritual business isn't just a business to you, it is a means for you to serve authentically, joyfully, with passion and commitment.

Many years ago at my High School graduation right after moving the tassels on our hats, we greeted our families. Before reaching his family, my friend Rob stopped to say hello to my relatives. My aunt walked over to wish us good luck. Rob automatically said, “I don’t need luck. I’ll make my life happen.” I thought he was very arrogant and apparently so did my aunt. She walked away mumbling under her breath. Today Rob is a multi-millionaire. I believe it did take luck. Or I s

Is life perfect or imperfect? Is life effective or ineffective? To be efficient or not to be? To be perfect or not to be? As to me, life as the integral whole is neither perfect nor imperfect itself. Or life is both perfect and imperfect together. Life is perfect in its imperfection. And life is imperfect in its perfection. It is like a coin with two sides. Life consists of perfection and imperfection together. To realize the whole picture, never cling only to one side of thi

Today in an individual’s life we see qualities of goodness, sensitivity, goodwill, politeness, etiquette, progressiveness, aspirations, labor etc. From the bodily and material comforts standpoint he is reaching higher and higher pinnacles so as to radiate our planet’s glory. If this were not the case world humanity would yet appear like his Adam Age ancestors in a naked and animalistic manner. Unkempt hair would have rendered both males and females ugly. Hair that is allo

This title is inspired by a conversation i was having a few moments ago with my good friend Nancy. She was asking me questions about how to add a picture on her blog. As we progressed further in the conversation, i realized that this would be the perfect article to add to my blog. I was speaking very passionately about why i felt what i felt about the subject we will be going into. “Trusting the Process of Unfoldment.”
