Consciousness and Awareness Articles

How can you be who you really are in a corporate, government, or nonprofit workplace when you are around giant egos that challenge you and seek to control you and get the better of you day in and day out? An interesting article was sent to me recently entitled "A bigger ego is the only way to truly create A New Earth.'" The author of the article applauds Eckhart Tolle for his impact on the world, then goes on to claim that the real problem in our world isn't that we have an ego, but that our egos aren't large enough.

I love the idea that Thanksgiving is less a day to ditch the diet but more a word of profound and powerful action. After all, the full feeling that this day promises should come more from the heart before anything’s actually carried out of the kitchen. Let your thankful heart be alive and conscious of all of your blessings and treasures this month. I’m fairly certain too, that not least among that (long?) list will be the fact that November itself will contribute to all sorts of creamy grateful gratitude. Yes, I said it. At last!

Introduction to Chakra Cords/ Relational Cords Chakra Cords or also called Relational Cords are strings of energy that run between individuals, within religious and political groups, within families, ethnicities and nations. More commonly they are experienced as our energetic connection to family members, friends, spouses, partners and lovers.r

While man must be, and is, a Divine Image or a Perfect Idea, yet he suffers and is sick. The answer to this is the same answer which can be given, philosophically, to the whole problem of evil—that man is an individual and does with himself what he wills. The Scriptures say, “God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.”Individuality cannot be automatically produced but must be spontaneous. It could not be real individuality unless it had the ability

As we begin this year, we face some significant issues in the world and in the United States. There is a polarization of people, dire predictions about the soon to come impact of global warming, about immigration, the migration of people from areas in the world impacted by violence and/or global warming, and a variety of other very significant issues. There are those who want to bring change and compassionately try to ease the situation and those who want to keep going with fossil fuels usage and profit based decisions that have worked for them in the past.

I define consciousness as our life force. When you take away all of our distractions and limitations, we become more conscious. It isn’t that consciousness evolves, for it is we who evolve to be conscious. From our most intelligent thoughts to our best perceptions, we appreciate them because we are conscious of them. The most important aspiration human beings have is to be more conscious, more alive in the moment and not limited by their own mind. Since our limitations are su

Do you realize that freedom is a four-dimensional phenomenon? Physical, intellectual, spiritual and Ultimate freedoms are the interwoven parts of the rainbow of reality. You are here in this world to explore all the colors of the rainbow of reality. Move into a deep in-search of freedom right now. The first freedom is physical freedom. The second dimension is intellectual freedom. Now it is time to discover the third dimension. Spiritual Freedom to be Yourself Freedom to be y

April 5, 2012 was and is a very important date because it began the acceleration of our manifestation abilities so we will be able to manifest quite quickly almost instantly. We no longer have the buffer or time lag before things manifest. The photonic energy (explained in previous blogs) connects to our thoughts so it is important that we know what we want, rather than what we don’t want, otherwise, we will manifest more of what we don’t want.

The Paititi Institute for the Preservation of Ecology and Indigenous Culture is a nonprofit organization devoted to the integration of indigenous wisdom into every day life. We are located on 4000 acres in Peru.r

Everything is cause and effect. What you do comes back to you. If you are loving, giving, forgiving and kind, then that comes back to you as people doing that for you. If you care about the poor and wish you could help them get back on their feet, then if you are ever poor, there will be those who care about you and who will want to help you get back on your feet. If you were sadistic, cruel, critical, and hurt people emotionally and physically, then that will come back upon

Greek term " symmetria " - interpreted, as the harmony of the different parts of an object, the equal proportions between its constituent parts. " Rythmos " means " wave " in Greek. Ever since I remember myself, I have been always fascinated with the Butterflies. Somehow intuitively I always looked at them as a clue in front of my eyes to understand the biggest mystery of nature. Butterfly transforms from most ugliest caterpillar to the most heavenly creature, through several

Intention is something you hold, having formed an idea out of the contrast, that which you have chosen to remain focused on. Intention by this definition incorporates the use of the buffer of time regarding the commitment, dedicated by the individual to the intention. The time deliberately used to focus on the intention effects the time it takes for the attraction to arrive; it is here where alignment is formed by deliberation in focused, thoughtful attention to any subject of choice. You are the beginning point of any intention, large or small.

I know what you’re all thinking. “What did she say? Is she serious?” As a matter of fact, I am very serious. Spring has sprung, and in this season of rebirth and regeneration, why not take advantage of what Nature has to offer? We all know that being out in Nature has a calming effect. Nature is abundant with Universal Life Force Energy. It is this very energy from which we are all made. When we feel stressed, lethargic or just out of sorts, drawing in more of this Life Force Energy has a balancing and healing effect.

By definition, affirmations are words or phrases which emphasize and magnify the presence of the true positive (ex. I love and approve of myself). Denials on the contrary, denounce negativity (ex. I don’t deserve to die right now). When it comes down to it, both are really two sides of the one coin. It simply depends on the state of the mind at the time. For example, for someone who is clinically depressed, denials might be better whereas for someone who really wants to foc

Here I am again, talking about beliefs, but they are such a key ingredient in how we are in the world, that it bears repeating – over and over again! Our belief system is what creates the blueprint for our lives. We watch our parents and those around us as children and we decide what works for others. We then choose which beliefs will work for us and we adopt them as our own. And off we go into the world, armed with everything we think we need to get along. Eventually, we start to realize that things aren’t working out quite the way we expected them to.

Improve your state of health by improving your relationship with your body. Relationships are improved by communication. Your body is no different, tune in and sense what’s going on with it, and support your body by doing these 7 simple yet important activities daily:

Andrea (not her real name) came to see me because she was having a conflict regarding career choices. Her family had supported her through law school, but she had always dreamed of becoming a professional musician; she had started guitar lessons a few years back and was now enjoying being able to play with her friends.

Kava is a mild liquid intoxicant and a large element in Fijian culture. And it’s legal. This is the liquid drug or beverage of choice in most of Melanesia and Polynesia. Kava or kava-kava’s scientific name is (Piper methysticum) (Piper: Latin for 'pepper', methysticum: (Latinized) Greek for 'intoxicating'). The roots of the plant are used to produce a drink with sedative and anesthetic properties. Kava is consumed throughout the Pacific Ocean cultures of Polynesia (including Hawaii), Vanuatu, Melanesia and some parts of Micronesia.

Loving yourself is essential because it is by loving your own self that you become able to love others. When you learn to view your own faults and failings with understanding and compassion, you become able to accept and love others, even when you know their imperfections. When you see divinity in your own being you become able to see the divine in others. The attitudes and approaches you develop toward others begin with the feelings you have about your own self.

The little girl with no needs. The little boy who takes care of mom. Premature maturity, is in fact, no escape from having needs or needing to be taken care of. It is not an escape from being a child, and it is in fact, not often maturity at all. Premature maturity is something else more painful: it is our childish attempt to buy (negotiate) a sense of security in a world of confusion, chaos, pain, death, illness, and feelings of loneliness and abandon. If we are just mature enough, maybe someone will care, will love us, will help us.

Do you know what your underlying beliefs, thoughts, and feelings are when it comes to money? Does money flow to you easily and effortlessly? Do you feel good when you think about money? If not, then perhaps it’s time to decipher your money vibration.

Are you living a dream? In this article I am going to introduce you to the world of dream meanings and ask you to consider the underlying messages within your dreams. I will take you on a journey through your consciousness to the conclusion that dreams are another way of life. Everyone has a dream meaning to explore at some time in their lives, but, have you ever asked the question why one particular dream sticks out in your mind more than any others? Your dream meanings can

I posed a question on my Facebook page where I asked “If you knew you couldn’t fail what would your life be like?” The responses I received were very interesting. Some stated that they would take more risks. Others said they would go for their dreams, pursue their passions. These statements started me thinking that the words “fail or failure” are just as impeding to our lives as the word “fear”. But what if you couldn’t fail? And just what does “fail” mean anyway?

We are constantly being bombarded with information, but is the information you are being bombarded with helping you or hurting you? Odds are you have created some type of daily routine or ritual — wake up, get coffee, read the paper, listen to the news, etc. But are you aware of what you listen to, read, or see on a daily basis actually affects you in some way? Let me give you a good example, if you are a news watcher perhaps you turn on the news and hear a story of a baby being killed — how does that make you feel? Not exactly the best way to start your day, is it?

From Part Two(Love). Intrducing the forthcoming book What is Man. Love

If I had known years ago that I was experiencing was what I now know as the dark night of the soul, maybe it would have been easier to accept the divine unfolding and omniscient wisdom of the process. All I knew back then was my life seemed to be falling apart no matter how hard I tried to fight to hold it together. Rewind back to about 2010. On the outside, things seemed okay to the casual observer. I was married with two beautiful children; one girl and one boy. I had a decent career that I had set aside in order to do the stay-at-home-mom thing for the kids' early years.

Healing, then, takes place to the degree that we send down the right kind of thoughts into subjectivity. This does not mean that we must sit around holding thoughts. We do not hold a seed in our hand when we wish to plant it, and it is the same in healing; we do not hold the thought but seek to realize it and let it work. By thinking consciously and with deep feeling, we implant the right idea in Mind, and Mind reproduces this idea as effect in the body. We must realize tha

Mother Earth just enacted hers and now it's time (during this NEW MOON!) for you to do same...a Karma Cleanse. I'm going to offer the granddaddy of all environmental cleanses since the CLEANSE theme is running so high:

One of my mottos is, Hold fast to your vision, regardless of what is going on around you, because you need the power of your vision to transform your perception and your current reality. When you truly stop believing (and living) in the past (i.e., past experiences, beliefs, thoughts, traumas, etc.), and instead you appreciate the things and thoughts that bring you joy in the present moment, you begin to pave the way toward a brighter and more fulfilling future.

It is amazing how many people are on antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications nowadays. What is even more surprising is how many of them are teens and young adults who get diagnosed and put on drugs for the long haul. After antibiotics, the most common prescriptions are for antidepressants, and it is believed that depression is caused by low levels of chemical neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, or norepinephrine.

Addictions are like everything in life, just HABITS…..bad habits more often than good ones, but conditioned habitual BEhaviours none the less. We are, from birth, taught and thus conditioned to CHOOSE from amongst the morals, values, perceptions and BEhaviours that are considered acceptable to the current cultural society we are born into. For exmaple:r

Feminine energies are becoming stronger than ever, both in a regenerative sense (Mother Earth re-balancing and re-shaping things) and in the awareness and sense of community and connection that global changes bring about.

Back in 1983, I began reading "A Course in Miracles" and doing the daily lessons in thought reversal. However, the text part of the Course was overwhelming to me then; I felt I was too young to really understand it, and I was in my early thirties. I did realize that this book held all the answers to life's greatest questions and offered a new way of seeing things. But each sentence I had to re-read over many times to get it. Then twenty years later, I find myself in prison doing 2.5 years for a felony DUI.When I was at my lowest point in my life, the Course returns to me there.

Rhonda Byrne wrote about it in her follow up to "The Secrect" known as "The Power". Celine Dion sang about it. Epic poems are written about it. Religions are founded on it. People search their entire lives to find it. What is this "it" we're talking about? Marci Shimoff sums it up in her latest best-seller, "Love for No Reason". Now, keep in mind that we're not just speaking of romantic or familial love - all of which is a part for sure - but what we're really talking about here is Universal love. We're talking about the energy or essence of Love.

I recently reached out for help from three different service providers and the difference among them was striking. Two of the people I spoke with sounded as though they had no interest in my problem and as if they didn’t care about fixing it. The third person listened to my issue, asked questions, and quickly fixed the problem. And yet, isn’t joyfully serving others a large part of our lives? Think about it. Each of us serves others no matter what work we do. As people of

Imagine yourself lying in an operation theater with surgical lights bearing down on you. You are about to have a major brain operation. You hear the neurosurgeon through the haze of anesthesia saying, “Start the drill.” The loud, high-pitched pneumatic whir of the powerful tool starts. You can ...

Do you have particular instruments that you prefer for sound healing? Do you feel that different instruments create different healing experiences? Have you found different instruments to be more effective for specific types of healing?

Millions think that Jesus literally flew up into the sky to God, who was working things like a puppet master from a place somewhere up there called heaven. They get the idea from the Gospel of Luke and its second volume, the Book of Acts. Both are actually one single work in two volumes, which isn't often recognized. The same people who imagine Jesus flying up into the sky also imagine that, one day, God will draw back the curtain, snatch up those who are Christians in what they call "the rapture", then unleash all hell on everyone left behind.

SPIRITUAL PROTECTION and PSYCHIC ATTACK I was recently talking with a lady who was complaining that a man in the house she was staying in was demon possessed and trying to kill her with his psychic attacks. She related that over some months he was keeping her awake with his music and movement around the house and that her life had become hell. Interestingly she was unable to recall ever having had a simple conversation with him where she had requested that he be considerate o

Modern medicine has seen a lot of changes in recent years, but still, the dominant focus deals exclusively with specific physical ailments once they’ve already happened, rather than the prevention of them. Learning to access and to utilize the intensely symbiotic relationship that exists between the mind and the body can help you to maintain a healthy life. Here are five practical ways to achieve optimal health that your doctor isn’t likely to share with you:

In the movie Eat, Pray, Love Elizabeth Gilbert is portrayed as someone who has a tendency to distance herself from real intimacy in a romantic relationship because she’s afraid she will dive in so deeply that she all but disappears. It’s a tendency many of us have in common with her. Why do we want intimacy so badly, yet back away from it when it becomes available—especially if it gets intense?

There is a choice before us, whether we are conscious of it or not, and as the old structures continue to collapse, the battle for the dominion of our energy is becoming more intensely obvious. This is the year to make a clear decision about the direction of your life: will you maintain the old fear-based beliefs and emotional wounds or will you move toward new, more creative and expansive paradigms?

How do you choose to grieve the loss of something or someone in your life? Have you ever thought about the possibility that you can be happy even in your grief? What is the most challenging piece of grief for you?

"THE YOU" Today as throughout the history of mankind people place such importance in the way they look to others and how they are perceived in the external world we call the Earth. The acceptance by others in this physical plane of existence appears foremost in our relationship with and to the world. How did we get to this point in this relationship? Well I will tell you. First there are two important players at work here with both relying on each other for their very existen

I will be turning 50 this year and have been spending some time doing some "inner/reflective" work and part of that process has been defining what's important to me - which is essentially what Passion and Purpose means.

Have you ever had a situation where you did not have your power? For some reason no matter what you said or did, nothing worked, went your way or turned out like you wanted? So what do you think it is that causes you to loose your magnetism, charisma or personal power? It all starts with your energy within. Everything is energy and as a species we are very perceptive about personal energy.

Can You sense global events before they happen? Do You tap into the energy of Earthquakes, volcanoes, tidal waves, floods, tornados, or wildfires before they happen? I know that I do. Here are some things that I notice: 1. A general feeling that things are off or weird. Feeling like it’s a full moon even if it’s not. 2. Feeling like the earth is moving unde eath me or difficulty grounding. 3. Head aches 4. Nausea 5. Thoughts or dreams about the natural disaster before t

Have you become aware of the divine synchronicity in your life, to where you can say, “Everything speaks to me”? Learning how to read the Book of Life definitely isn’t easy by any means; it takes a life time of practice. I only know what I know from my own self-realization, but I feel that when I’m aware and open and really pay attention to each moment of life, everything does speak to me. I’ve been a singer/songwriter for three decades now and recently wrote a new song entitled Everything Speaks to Me. The lyrics speak for themselves: Verse 1r
