Becoming a Divine Human

The Wellness Industry is a growing powerhouse of New Age books, music, meditations, seminars, techniques and products. Coming from someone who has been involved with alte ative healing and new consciousness way before it was popular...it warms my heart to see the increasing awareness and assimilation into so many lives. However, it may still be in the embryo stage, for I don't see a full integration of the holistic principles and practice of spiritual truth. Yes, I recognize

Astrology and Numerology- The Gateway to You

You’ve lived with yourself for a lot of years now, so you do know a lot about yourself. But I would venture to say that there is still more to uncover. Astrology and numerology are two powerful tools to use to delve even deeper into what makes you tick, why you do what you do and what would make you happy in terms of a career/Life Work. Something profound happens when you learn about your sign or your number-it can resonate so deeply because for some people it feels like they are finally understood or it is a confirmation of what they already know about themselves.

Being Open To Your Future

Life is not about making plans or deciding how your future will be. The life we live is about right now, today, and no other time. When we let go of our ideas for our future, when we shed our predetermined goals and open ourselves up to now, we can start to live the life we are meant to and not the life we decided we should have. For when we are open, life starts being what it is supposed to be for us. When we schedule and plan extensively into the future, we do not let life happens as it should.

The Wrong End of the Telescope

How a simple reversal of perspective will give you the life you desire. But first I have to share a word with you that is so significant to our health and happiness it is the only key to our personal joy and to the flourishing of the Earth and the Universe she rests in. So mystical is this word that it frightens us and wakes us in the night and causes war among brothers. So magical a word that when we say it with understanding we are liberated from all fears – forever. This word represents a gift of creation so powerful that it rivals the miracle of our birth.

Breast Cancer and Love

When I had my breast cancer I was totally alone. I craved for love, for human touch, instead of sterile and cold hospital rooms. I needed to be connected to something stable to keep me going. I knew that everyone is part of the Planet Earth and connected with the animal and plant kingdoms, as well as the spirit kingdoms. And that everything vibrates at a specific frequency. All of life is energy, and that is how people connect with each other and to all other life that exists

How To Tame The Thoughts In Your Mind

Our mind seems to wander on its own, seeming to escape our abilities to tame it. How do we go about harnessing our thoughts and controlling our mind so that we can be present? This is a very good question and one that many have tried to answer. But there is no one answer, for it really comes down to you, not the path others have taken. Very often our own patterns of thought are stuck on a very personal cycle, repeating in patterns only known to us. And this is the essential component in releasing your thoughts and calming your mind.

The Meaning and Function of Inner Light

The word light has become a very popular term among the self help and spirituality communities of our current era. For different people, this word can have many diverse and personal meanings. Light is often used as a metaphor for uplifting emotional states or for a sense of existential freedom. For others, it can mean a specific energy -- metaphysical or psychic. For the sake of delineating these terms in a relatively clear way, I've determined to focus on this phenomenon fro

The Myth of Better

We are conditioned to believe something that has very little truth to it, so little truth that it’s more accurate to call it a myth: We believe that things could be better. We deeply believe that we can have a better experience or a better life or become a better person. And, of course, the flip side of this is that we believe that things could be worse. rn One clue that this belief is a myth is that not everyone agrees on what’s better or worse. There’s always someone

Looking For Love

During life, we all seek to know someone well enough to feel love and be loved; we seek to connect and be a part of another person's life. When we look for love, sometimes we are looking for a lot more than love itself. We are not just looking for someone to be with, but we are also looking to fulfill everything we need in life. We want understanding, someone by our side; we want companionship, sentiment, and all the desired characteristics we find attractive and need in another person. Love has a big list to fill, or so we think so.

Dealing With The Loss Of A Loved One

When we lose someone close to our heart we let go of a part of ourselves. In order to deal with heartache and loss we close ourselves off. By protecting ourselves at a time of deep grief and sadness we seek solace by not being present. How can one process something so big, so hurtful? How can life even go on when this has happened? By closing your heart and shutting your eyes you are only trying to keep on, what more can you do? It is hard to manage so much, let alone keep on with life. To open your heart means to receive all the hurt, all the emotion and pain.

How To Deal With Changes

What happens when our plans are changed or when things are not going our way? How do we deal with these kinds of moments? How do we let go of our plans so that we can shift with the moment in a less stressful way? When things happen that go against what we want, we have to be able to adjust in a way that is not a struggle. What we need to understand is that life itself is not made up of our plans and agendas, nor does it run on a course we have already decided. If life were so, then everything, including ourselves, would always be as we wished.

Are We Human Beings Having a Spiritual Experience—or Spiritual Beings Having a Human Experience?

Whenever I hear someone claim that they are a spiritual being having a human experience, it bothers me—the way a sliver in my finger bothers me. I don’t notice it until someone says it again, and then I feel that familiar irritation. I have long pondered why this is my response and have come to the conclusion there is, actually, no good reason. After all, I think both are true—we are both human and spiritual/energetic—so why should it matter to me which side of the et

The Source Of Your Happiness

Awakening the source of your happiness is about letting go of the idea that you are waiting for something or holding yourself back. It is about being present with where you are in life. It is about connecting to your true self and letting yourself be you just as you are. All of these things are interconnected and are important in finding our own happiness in life. Without knowing our true selves, without remaining present and therefore constant in our own life, we are missing what is real. By seeing who we are and where we are meant to be, we unleash our happiness.

How To Believe In Yourself

When you look at the very core of who you are and ask yourself why you believe you are worth less, what do you hear? What put this in your thoughts originally, and why is it there? For the doubt stems from somewhere, you didn't always believe less of yourself. At one point you created this perception of yourself. Others may have factored into this decision, usually this is how it works, for when others judge us, treat us a certain way, we tend to assume it is valid. This creates an emptiness where our self-worth used to be.

Checking In With Yourself

When we wake up in the morning, what do we think about first? Is it what do I have to do next, where do I have to go today, or what needs to be done? How rarely do we think about how we are doing and what we need? So often we overlook ourselves from the very beginning. It starts when we wake up and continues throughout our day. Throughout the day that belongs to us, for every day is ours, all day long. And yet we spend the majority of our time doing what we think we should do, or acting how we think we should act.

Creating Your Own Happiness

Creating your own happiness is letting go of what is holding it back, for we are all meant to be happy in our lives, living from a place of enjoyment, contentment ,and love. Why then does it feel like sometimes your life is missing this element; why are you without it? It can feel this way and really seem like this is so. But being happy is realizing you can be and that it is a choice. Happiness is not because of something on the outside, it comes from within.

Being Honest And Clear About A Relationship

Sometimes we don’t look that closely at our relationships because we fear that we might realize something we don’t want to see. If we keep our understanding of each other at a superficial level, then our expectations will be met. We try not to look too closely at what may be wrong within each of us so that we can keep going along as we always have been. But people change on both sides of a relationship and clarity needs to come through; otherwise, we are hiding from the truth. How we see one another has a lot to do with how we interact and relate to one another.

What to Do When There is No Doer

Nondual spiritual teachings suggest that there is no doer, that there is no separate self that is the source of our actions. This teaching is the source of much confusion, as it is contrary to our experience. It seems that there is a doer and that I am the doer: get up in the morning, walk the dog, and drive to work. How do these things happen if there is no doer? And if there is no doer, then what do I do? How do I live my life if there is no one here to live it? What do I d

Uncovering Your True Self

Understanding your true nature is a fundamental part of your happiness. We tend to overlook this; instead, we act as who we think we are. We look for our behaviors to correlate with who we think we are rather than what we really are. We act a certain way so that the idea of ourselves is under control and continues to make sense to us. We behave under the assumption that how we have presented ourselves is who we are, but unde eath it all is our true self. If this does not correlate with how we see ourselves, then our happiness is further away then we might like to think.

Meditation and Self Realization in Busy Life

We lead a busy life in this world. To become a successful person in this planet, we struggle hard to keep up in this competitive market. In this struggle, we nearly forget our real identity or who we are. It is because of this, our whole attention goes towards name and fame and we truly forget that this name and fame is not going to accompany us forever. It is no doubt that a good name and fame is required for us to lead a good life in this world. But, in the process of attaining it, we should not get our spiritual development hampered and end up in stress and mental anxiety.

Letting Your Anger Go

When we are angry, we feel like we have no control over it and that it overtakes us. Anger is such a strong emotion that once we go there, we are so riled up that the experience and how we feel tends to last a long time. Anger is an experience of not accepting life because it is when we choose to fight it instead of accepting it that we lose ourselves to anger. Anger is a response to how you see the world. We are experiencing the fight we choose with life.

How Society Is Testing Us And What We Can Do

We, as a society, are being put to a test. We are at a time of our existence as human beings when we must band together or else there is going to be continued destruction that will have more and more personal resonance. The way we treat one another and the amount of fear – rather than love – that runs rampant in our world is debilitating. It is more than difficult to sit here and watch, feeling helpless while people make poor decision after poor decision. But the poor decision making ends with YOU.

Holistic Psychic

'Holistic' means to embrace the view "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts". Being psychic requires to a great degree to assume and use a holistic view of the world. Despite that, not everyone is a holistic psychic. Psychics who claim that they got their psychic abilities through talent rather than spiritual work often turn out to be not very wholesome. They are specialist who are familiar with only their little corner of the psychic world, and their psychic ability

The Moment You Are In Is The Only One That Exists

Being in the moment is a very important tool to finding happiness in your life, for if we are forever looking elsewhere, we will never be happy now. If we are always looking back at the life we had, we are losing our presence in now. Living in the moment is about being present; it is being nowhere else other than here. How hard this is? It is how hard you make it because it is a decision. It is a choice that creates the possibility for you to flow with life in a far easier way. By being in the moment, you are releasing the struggle with how things have to be for your future.

The Kingdom of Heaven- an Eastern perspective?

Stress And Your Response

When we are in a stressful situation, it is hard for us to respond or react clearly. We are overwhelmed by our emotions or thoughts, and therefore cannot see the situation for what it really is. We make it harder on ourselves because we are not only dealing with the moment at hand, but we are also dealing with our emotional or mental responses. It is easy to do this and very common, yet it doesn’t benefit us in any way. In fact, it makes the situation much worse for us. When moments arise that are stressful, it is important to remember to stay focused on what is really happening.

Control Issues

Some of us have the need to be in control, to manage everything around us, to keep it up to a certain standard. This can be exhausting, tiring and endless, for to manage everything, to be in charge and in control of all we see, is not only impossible but futile. For in truth, you can not control anything, even yourself. What we see around us is always changing; we can not keep it a certain way even if we try. We are battling something that doesn’t exist. The act of trying to control anything, even if it is small, does give some sense of achievement.

Reason Behind Overeating

Food for many has become a battleground; it exists in a way beyond nourishment into fulfillment. Sometimes we actively eat to satiate something other than hunger. We eat to feel better, to forget, to be in control, to relax and let go. The list goes on. It is when we eat for anything other than hunger that we have created this struggle, this battle with food. It is a habit formed to help ourselves to deal with something bigger, more “powerful”, than we can cope with. So we resort to food as a way to put it off. Food is not the problem; it is not bigger than what it is.
