If “Welcoming Change” is a theme you would love to integrate in your life you might be asking yourself, “How do I get there?” In the previous posts I’ve talked about how changing your thinking may change many other dynamics in your life. But, what about if YOU were the change? What would that actually look like, and what would happen in your life? Many clients I work with are initially looking to change the parts of their lives that aren’t working well for them. I

The Power of Simplicity There is a difference between simple and easy. The greatest things in life are all about simplicity. The most powerful recipe for manifesting the life of your dreams is also the simplest and consists of only two words: Be yourself.

It is interesting to study the correlation between the messages of near death experiences and the pointers from ancient scriptures. Our confidence in the spiritual content of the afterlife experience increases when we find striking parallels between the two.

We have been bombarded with stories since the day we were born. Some stories make sense and are relevant to our lives. Some are so old and out of date and make no sense in today’s world. Some stories are beliefs that people who had influences in our lives believed. Some can propel us forward, while others can become our engrained limiting beliefs that block us from success in different areas of our lives.

Debbie Ford, who wrote the book, The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, has finished a movie called “The Shadow’. It was released June 26, 2009 and is available for purchase. It is a movie well worth watching. I have been following Debbie’s work for years and had the opportunity to meet her at the Chopra Center in LaJolla, Califo ia, and again at the Coronado Hotel in Califo ia. Debbie’s workshops focuses on that part of ourselves that we push away and that we are ashamed of. It’s that part of our self that we don’t like and try to hide.

Understanding oneself is the secret behind stable inner harmony. It implies an awareness which helps us gain clarity of the way the conditioned mind functions. Here are some avenues for reflection that can lead us to that understanding.

The dissolution of the robotic response of the human brain is necessary to understand the hidden aspects of life and the afterlife. Such dissolution can be called the psychological death. It leads to wholesome and holistic living. Ending of the ego can be considered as a matter of psychological mortality. This is not usually recognized as a transformation that can take us beyond the purview of the habitual mindset. Exploring into that region brings about a life of higher order than that of the neurotic one in which the vast majority of people is caught currently.

Ups and downs in life are a part of the human existence and cannot be avoided. The question is, are we going to lose our peace of mind and become unstable as we face these highs and lows on the roadway of life? Or is there another way? If we let ourselves become affected by everything that comes our way in life, we will feel as if we are on a perpetual roller coaster. We will move from the heights of ecstasy to the depths of despair and back to ecstasy again from one moment t

In general, there are three major responses to esoteric issues in the field of spirituality. They are represented by three groups: the believers, the skeptics and the explorers. It is good to be aware of the mental proclivities of these groups.

What happens to us in life is very much a reflection of our mental states. While a calm and collected approach to meeting the issues of life can quite often ease us through the problems, an agitated mental state is likely to complicate matters. It is good to understand the link between our mental states and how the circumstances in our life shape themselves. The loving application in that direction can move us towards healthy and vibrant living.

Have you ever wondered why you feel compelled to do things or say things that you don’t want to? Have you ever found yourself overeating, dieting, drinking too much, spending too much money, procrastinating on things or isolating rather than socializing? If you would like to finally understand what makes you behave in ways you know are not good for you, and will ultimately cause you stress, you have to understand what you do and what you can do to begin to think, and therefor

As you walk through your day, do you practice gratitude and grace? When things are going our way, this can be an easy task. When life is difficult or stressful, being grateful and being graceful about it can be quite the challenge. I notice that when things are running smoothly for me, I sometimes forget to be grateful. Often, I catch myself saying out loud, “Thank you” for the beautiful sunset or the new friend that I met.

Most of us enjoy riding roller coasters because they're exciting. There's a rather fine line between excitement and terror, and if you've ever had a 'bad trip' on a roller coaster ride, you know what it's like to cross that line, but we actually like being a little scared, and that's really why we do it.

Understanding the roles of the intellect and of the intuition in our living can go a long way along the journey towards the truth and the associated inner peace. In the absence of this movement, slavery to belief systems will become inevitable. The intellect and the intuition in us have somewhat different roles to play in helping us move towards a holistic life. The associated perception takes us to the deeper being in us helping us lead our lives intelligently.

The transformational state is based on pure awareness in the ‘Now’; the future is taken care of by that holistic state of mind. In contrast, paths to preset goals sustain the ego through expected fulfillments; the ‘Now’ is relegated as a mere passage.

I woke up this morning and was reminded again of why I am here. It is because I am head over heals IN LOVE with humanity and the entire ecosystem that supports life on this planet.

A Women’s Spiritual Retreat is a type of pilgrimage, a sacred jou ey, that you take when you need to get away from daily stresses, and at the same time, have a deep yearning of self discovery and desire for greater awareness and connection to our Source. Like any pilgrimage, there is the unknown and this adds excitement to the jou ey. The retreat becomes a venture forth, a step into the unknown. Even if you have been to one before, each retreat has its own personality, form and transformative qualities that make it new, unique and memorable.

ACCEPTANCE: The ability to accept yourself as an individual, to accept other people as they are and to comfortably receive things, thoughts and feelings from others. It is the ability to see yourself and accept yourself as an essential part of the environment. I'm sure you know how important it is to love and accept yourself. So why is it that so many of us find it hard to accept ourselves just as we are? We tend to criticize and judge ourselves and in turn judge others. If

The first being, the popular role of the damsel-in-distress, we've seen her before, bewildered pretty girl, dusty lonely road, insert flat tire, cue in dramatic music, swoon in handsome gent to the rescue. The second role, contrary to the first, would be the infamous 1980's Enjoli perfume girl materialized.

I was my 30s with three young children and a holistic therapy career I loved when I found myself in the middle of a line of crashed cars and in seconds everything changed.

Gratitude in and of itself can completely transform our lives. Gratitude has the power to dissolve our anger, shift our perception, and replenish our energy. In a matter of moments, being grateful can take us from a state of helplessness, to a state of hope, and gradually to a state of joy. While gratitude works wonders in our lives, it’s up to us to initiate the process and to practice being grateful on a regular basis. The following five exercises can help us maximize the benefits of gratitude:

I don’t have to think twice when it comes to wondering why I don’t like going into grocery stores at this time of year. Back to school junk food products seem to invade almost every isle.

Have you ever noticed when life gets to be too much and you’re feeling overwhelmed and uninspired, how everything becomes difficult to handle? It’s as if life has lost its color and zest, and nothing looks promising. Negative self-talk becomes more pronounced, people seem rude and uncaring, and the world surely is headed towards disaster. Stress has a tendency to do that and during this time of tumultuous transition, it can be easy to get swept away with hopelessness. So how can this be prevented or at least halted before overwhelm takes over?

Hi. I am writing and reaching out to all my tribe…the people that have touched my soul on so many levels. While, I am not sure I have everyone’s email I hope that it will reach all of you in some shape or form. Since, I was a child I have been seeing this point and time.

It has become clear to me that we are being given a choice.

Reflective people know that the robust solution lies elsewhere. It is a matter of shedding all the burden that the mind accumulates in its attempt to reach happiness.

It is good to explore the difference between exerting effort and applying oneself to something. The clarity that comes from that understanding can help us lead a peaceful life. One can then move on to sensing the deeper aspects of living on this planet.

As the highway whisks me onward, I shake my head in despair. The DMV will be a zoo. It’s lunchtime...on a Friday...at the end of the month. Horrible. But I‘ve no choice.

During the beginning of my pregnancy, Jimmy started to lose his eyesight. He lost weight and moved in and out of the hospital. I tried to breathe words of hope into his heart. Simultaneously, I was pulling away from him. I was afraid of not being able to survive without him. I meditated and prayed for him over and over again but I started to understand that Jimmy’s destiny was very different from all of ours. He was here to touch many lives in a short period of time and there was a great beauty and simplicity in the impact he had on others.

On October 22, 2009 the book, Overcomers, Inc. that I helped author, there were 37 of us, gained bestseller status. What an amazing day that was to officially say that I was a best selling author! I’m generally not one to “toot” my own horn but on that day I did and it felt wonderful. I had overcome my adversity or challenge of giving myself permission to proudly say to the world what I had accomplished and not feel guilty or self-righteous about it. Since that magical day, there has been a tremendous shift in how I view myself.

Why it is important to embrace life’s spiritual struggles “If there is no struggle, there is no progress” Fredrick Douglass It is really important to embrace life’s struggles. Just as we embrace the good times we must also learn to embrace and move forward from the tough times. This is how we grow stronger in spirit.

Research on near death experiences (NDEs) have revealed many amazing aspects of our Deeper Self. Because people live oblivious of it, their personal life gets governed by the ego. This leads to mediocrity in life and to the self-importance that destroys harmony in oneself and others. The International Association for Near Death Studies (iands.org) has collected a fund of information on NDEs and comes up with its research outcome periodically. This article is based on its current report. Many useful lessons for life are there in it. Salient Messages

It’s Christmas Time – or ‘the holidays’ – or the Festive Season. Whatever you choose to call it, it’s a time of the year that has significance in our calendar. Robert Holden said that it’s a time when your life seems to come under a magnifying glass. You tend to ask questions of yourself and perhaps even have questions asked of you. Besides the practical questions such as “What are you doing for Christmas?” or “What do you want for Christmas?” there are the ‘bigger’ questions like, “What kind of year did you have?” and “Have you started thinking about what you want from next year yet?”r
