Does it actually exist the key to a life in happiness and fulfillment? Can joy be at the base of my experience? Why are pain and heaviness so prevalent in our lives, even though everybody in essence wants nothing else but happiness? Joy, bliss and fulfillment are expressions of your true nature, your unlimited being that you are at your core. There is not a single moment in your life in which they are not available for you. Still we do not experience fulfillment at each moment. Why?

I have an addiction. A public addiction. I watch American Idol – despite being a few years (er.. decades) beyond the target audience. This may be justification, but the main reaso I enjoy it so much is seeing the personal transformation each individual goes through (Internally and exte ally) The seemingly ‘lost’ auditionee is seldom the same when he/she leaves the show once voted off. The winners and finalists have usually developed into ‘fuller’, more resilient people in awe of their life (and of themselves).

For many years as I went about my weekend routine of doing all those chores around our house I would regularly hear the sound of a piano playing and singing in the background. One of our neighbours has always had a love of music and obviously the family enjoyed gathering around the piano on the weekend. The music and singing was never something that was hard to take, in fact I often found myself humming or singing away with a song that I knew well. Living in a fairly relaxed

Journey of self-discovery... I came across this book in 2012. I was in Federal Prison at the time and was 7 years into my journey of self-discovery. Being able to answer questions about myself, who I am, what makes me do the things that I do… Fear of letting go

During January I encountered numerous people in the throes of huge life change, such as:rn- changing or losing jobs - starting own businesses - babies born to first time parents On a much smaller scale, I joined a new, large gym and caught myself feeling slightly out of sorts about my first day there.

This afternoon I put a jar of sweet tea outside to steep then ate fresh blueberries while staring at sunflowers that were on the kitchen table. It was idyllic to the point of feeling like a living greeting card. I was smack in the middle of what simplicity means to me and I felt deeply contented. Summer, in particular, is a time when I find simplicity at the heart of my days and wrapped around my soul.rn rnSimplicity–the word itself evokes tranquility, harmony, and ease. Th

Do you practice having an attitude of Gratitude or an attitude of Hopelessness? Noticing which emotion feels more comfortable is a way to start refocusing on how you view your world. It’s amazing how we chose to look out into our world either with a cup half full or a cup half empty. The choice is always ours, yet at times, it can feel as though we don’t have a choice. Sometimes it can feel like the world is out to get us and that the circumstances outside of us dictate how our life unfolds.

Within a short space of time I’ve experienced two extreme contrasts. The simple family home life of a Cambodian Tuk-Tuk driver as well as the pomp and ceremony of the Mardi Gras in Sydney. The poverty and simplicity on the one hand and a lavish parade highlighting the need for human rights and equality.

Sea moss helps to promote overall health and wellness Sea moss, which is also known as Irish moss, is a potent superfood that is filled with a variety of minerals and nutrients. Sea moss is loaded with antiviral, antimicrobial, as well as anti-inflammatory agents that can aid your body’s overall health and wellness.

This is one of the most frequently asked questions I’m asked! I’ve decided to do a 10-part series on How To Meditate to help explain it further!rnLet’s start with why you want to meditate! Have your ever asked for answers and heard nothing? As much as you may feel you’re ready for the answer to appear, you hear and see nothing? Why is that?rnAs many of you know I frequently write about receiving your answers by sitting within the silence in meditation to receive guida

Oneness with the Divine means being in Divine Paradise. From a Kabbalistic perspective it means to be in the endless light and relate from Oneness. In Christianity it might be staying devoted to Jesus, the personification of love. In Sufism it is a connection to a merciful God. They all carry the connotation of being with and coming from the Divine. To stay attached to the Divine we need to love and be loved, which means to allow ourselves to love ourselves and to receive lov

Coaching is a process of identifying and removing obstacles in your life which prevent you from being what you want to be. If you are wondering whether coaching is for you, then start by answering the five key questions below: 1) Are you looking to make changes? 2) Are you ready to take responsibility for where you are, and where you want to move to? 3) Are you open to challenge and fresh perspectives? 4) Are you ready to be the best you can be and not to sabotage yourself in

What if I told you that there are things you believe to be true about this world and they are not? One evening in my young life changed my world forever. Things and people in my life have never been the same. I had a dream once that I was not from this world. Who I truly am, is not who I thought I was at all. In this dream I was a princess from a different world. I came here to learn and teach what true unconditional love is. Loving people for who they truly are and not for w

One area that may be hampering peace in our lives often goes unnoticed. It is so engrained in our daily routine that we often don’t see it or realize it. In our quest to find peace and let go of the past, we tend to leave one string attached. That string is called JUDGMENT. Don’t mistake this with having good judgment. That is a positive thing in our lives. Analyzing situations and making good decisions is a true blessing. It’s when judgment becomes personal that we oft

Tom and Jerry, the Life Coaches The thing I learn from cartoons, esp. Tom & Jerry, and that inspires me the most is that no matter what you go through, a thrash, a bang, a turmoil, a blast in your life, a crash, or even if you are crushed by adversities, somehow you always get back to normal (shape or mind), and then you again chase what you want!!!! Follow Your DreamsrnThe cat chases the mouse and the mouse is always aiming at his favorite cheese and milk. No matter what the

The more self-aware I became... There was an experience I had in 2010 where my whole life seemed to flash before my eyes. It was like a condensed version of all the things that I had done that were selfish and hurtful. It was so vivid. The interesting part was that during this same period, I was having moments of profound self-awareness, the likes of which I had never experienced. What I came to realize is this- The more self-aware I became, the less self-centered I was. Direct evidence

Our hectic lives today are filled with chores, errands, reminders and to-do lists, all meant to bring us the peace and contentment we continually seek. So, why do peace and contentment remain elusive and how can we get there? The answer lies in the most unexpected of places, a sacred place where few would think to look. There is no end to the desires of the mind and to the troubles to which they lead. Let us assume for instance that we wanted to buy something expensive. We ei

In our first 6 months of dating, my husband broke up with me 4 times. Whenever his bank account got low he’d disappear, then he’d get some work and show up again. It drove me nuts, especially at first before I realized what the pattern was. I thought it was me. But after a few times, I figured it out, and I figured out how to deal with it. Needless to say, here we are with a baby on the way, and I could share a lot more about “how to catch a guy who breaks up with you 4

With all the pressures and demands that we face in today’s society, finding peace seems like a far off dream. But what if I could suggest some simple practices that would help to usher in peace and balance? These are what I call meditative moments...these moments are done as often as time allows. However, morning and evening times are essential and the most powerful times of the day, in my opinion, because they represent the opening/closing or start/finish.rn Note; Morning

I babysat a friend’s 16-month old daughter on Saturday night. Being inexperienced in this realm, there’s always a smidgen of anxiety regrading this responsibility, but Lauren made it easy for me. She’s not yet able to talk properly, but can definitely demonstrate what she wants! • She wanted a slide flipped over to the step-side for her to be able to climb up into her play-gym. She kept tugging at it until I understood and turned it around. She then bounded up the steps happily.r

Oneness with the Divine means being in Divine Paradise. From a Kabbalistic perspective it means to be in the endless light and relate from Oneness. In Christianity it might be staying devoted to Jesus, the personification of love. In Sufism it is a connection to a merciful God.

Humans are habitual creatures. This can obviously work in both directions, good and bad. A lot of factors can go into the decisions we make. The choices and patterns of behavior we practice. I want to discuss a bit about some of the things we can do, from my own experience, to break bad habits and adopt healthier patterns of behavior. One of the most important aspects of change is self-honesty. Obviously, it is important for a person to be honest with themselves. I mean, if I can’t be honest with me, how can I ever be truly honest with anyone else or situation?

Pranic energy; do you know the core of this science rnIn the realms of Yogic healing and other kinds of alternate remedial measures including Reiki etc. The word energy is the fulcrum for all such sciences. The word energy, here, directly indicates towards that subtlest energy substance which was observed and understood by great ancient Indian seers thousands of years ago. They (ancient seers) named it as ‘Prana’ in Sanskrit… the same word later acquired its English com

When your life seems out of control and you’re constantly overwhelmed, these 3 tips will help you create a greater sense of inner peace and balance in your life. When your life seems out of control and you’ve got endless demands tugging at you from all directions, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, fatigued - and just plain stressed! Believe it or not, balancing your life does not require massive changes. You don't have to quit your job, abandon your family and escape to a re

After spending three weeks in Vietnam and Cambodia a single word that really stands out for me is contrast. Contrast within each country as well as to ours. Travelling in a group of course also presents contrasting personalities. I took this opportunity (and there always is one) to learn from others.

Aside from the question whether we can answer this issue at all, I am convinced that all opinions about it are a matter of belief not of knowledge. Man falls inevitably into the realm of faith and beliefs, once we discuss this question. Followers of some churches speak of a purgatory, others of reincarnation, the rebirth, others of the paradise, the Garden of Eden, from the board of Allah, and much more. I personally think our existence, our ego in the form as we understand i

Finding inner peace is the path of letting go, even though, the path could be as hard or simple as a person makes the journey of self acceptance. “He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe” ~ Marcus Aurelius There are always many ups and downs in every one’s life. Sometimes we get stuck in a world of confusion, wondering how we find a constant inner peace in our hearts and lives, when there is always something wrong in our lives or the live

Houston funeral dwelling providers range; due to this fact, you want to take the time and effort to pick out the perfect funeral home in your needs. Dropping someone near you can be extremely tough and it may be laborious to concentrate on the each day activities. The aspects, which can affect your decision concerning Houston funeral companies could also be personal. Nonetheless, there's some ideas which can guide your decision. Location- It's worthwhile to take into account

rnI was reading a verse the other day written by Walt Whitman "Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you. You must travel it by yourself. It is not far. It is within reach. Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know. Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land." ~ Walt Whitman~ (Leaves of Grass) It inspired me to write this; We are in essence all on a journey to remember and experience in this life who we truly are and feel and know the Joy o

rnOn Facebook there is a post going around where some people are changing their profile pictures to 80’s cartoon characters. This is to help others to be aware of child abuse. I was one of them because I thought what a great way to spread awareness, and a really fun idea which I am sure brought up a lot of childhood memories. Then the thought occurred to me, how many homes throughout the world have been affected by some form of abuse? There are many homes and families where

Sharing information is powerful. Free market of ideas. The power of the spirit. I like to define it personally like this- I can choose to be a part of it (open spirit, open mind), or I can choose to go about things solely on my own (closed spirit, closed mind). Isolation and trying to come up with my own answers didn’t work out so well. Because of childhood trust issues that I allowed to carry over into my adulthood, I was closed off. I always thought I needed to come up with all of the answers on my own.

rnModern society seems to be growing more convenient yet stressful every year. With all of the many demands place on the average person today, it can be difficult to find some alone time just to harmonize with nature and prepare to tackle what comes next. Mediation and yoga have emerged as the leading way to accomplish just this, so it is important to find some time just to take care of yourself in this way. Consider the following four ways to naturally enhance your personal

The Angels whisper this message to us always as we journey through our lives on Earth. It is so easy for us to forget who we are and why we are here as the pressures of day to day existence close in. We are all dealing with this in some form. It’s probably easier for those of us who are working on raising our consciousness because we have caught a glimpse of Home and we have an idea of who we are. Folks who haven’t yet figured this out and who are still wandering around h

When poison is worshiped as though it is nectar and when everyone yearns to attain it, transformation becomes very difficult. When loss is thought to be beneficial and since it becomes difficult to deeply understand benefit and is instead looked upon as a loss then to correct erroneous understanding becomes very difficult. In ancient times at least beliefs were true. People walked on the royal path then but today things are topsy-turvy. Those people who have gone astray think

So many people in this world are afraid of death! And it is mainly for the fear of the unknown. How and what will it be like, when one passes through the time before, during and after the death?rnHow will I die? What will the process of death be like - would it be painful or will it be an easy death? When will death happen? Would I be in a dependant state then, amidst a long term illness, or I would be hale and hearty, moving around independently? Where will I go after death?

Your inner guidance is one of the most powerful, natural and intrinsic tools that you can use. Our inner guidance is our internal compass or GPS which effectively guides and direct us through life. It is sad to say that in our advanced society—countless millions fail to use the inner guidance systems to their best advantage so that they can live a life that they want. INNER GUIDANCE- A SYNOPSIS We all have, at one time in our life or maybe even in several stages of our life

Shawn Anchor did a lot of research for this book, and it shows through in the writing. According to him, in an interesting and fresh take, we don’t find happiness, and it’s not something we should look to achieve… We are happiness. In The Happiness Advantage, Anchor breaks down how positivity has neurological effects that are beneficial. This is something that seems to go without saying, but we can get caught up in the day-to day-routines of our lives and we can lose sight of this.

For most people who go to the spa, at least from my own experience and from what I observe, the typical spa session is a fascinating mixture of pleasure and pain. Pleasure gradually turns into pain when heat or cold therapies become too extreme or last too long. We all know that we can only last 10-15 minutes max in a full-blown steamroom, turkish bath or sauna. There's always a point at which it becomes "too much." Not to mention - the worst "spa ordeal" is perhaps the plung

SYNOPSIS: The article focuses in comparing the road of illusion with the road that leads towards Almighty GOD. The Highway connecting the cities consists of two roads. One is the ‘To’ road while the other is the ‘Fro’ road. Vehicles ply To and Fro in opposite direction. There is a road cut after every 15 - 20 kilometers from where we can change / reverse the direction of our vehicles. Similarly in human life too, there are two directions. One direction leads to illusi

The term “happiness” means different to different people. It is a very broad although a relative term. “Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.”-Franklin Roosevelt “Family and friendships are two of the greatest facilitators of happiness”- John C. Maxwell “A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy? -Albert Einstein Just like the above, the term “happiness” holds varieties of mean

Meditation can be more effective if you hum. What to hum, generally means an ‘Ohm” on the same pitch. I have come up with a different hum, which I call “inner song”. What makes this more effective for me, is that it comes from my natural voice. The pitch is based on the way I say certain words. I decide on a word or a phrase that works for me in meditation, such as “I Love you”. Actually, what ended up working for me was the whole sequence from Ho’oponopono (I'm

Two monks were getting ready to cross a river when they spotted a fair damsel crying on the river bank. On enquiry, they learned that the lady in question also needed to get across but bemoaned her inability to do so, saying she did not have the means to cross the river without getting wet. The older monk, around 60 years of age, decided to carry the lady on his shoulders. Now we all know that monks are religious creatures, or are supposed to be. And the younger monk communic

Follow the cosmic trend… What is this? (Part-1.) rnThe entire world is full of trends in its respective spheres… trend is a word that directly comes from the family of the word ‘tendency’. A slight reference in the dictionary shall render you with some more elaboration upon these words of great depth i.e. ‘trend’ and ‘tendency’. Evolution of this world cannot inch ahead without specific trends at given period of time. The cause that led to extinction of dinosa

Where we come from before we incarnate—Home--love is all there is. Love is energy, and it is the energy that is given to us from the Creator to support and sustain us. Because there is only love where we came from, it would be impossible for us to fully understand what love is. So we come here and borrow these bodies in order to experience the lack of love. It’s an interesting game we have created to assist us in this learning, and these “borrowed” bodies make us thin

Hi There, This is the First Blog Post, I'm about to share.rnThanks for reaching here and taking interest to know what this blog, monk at 25 is about. I decided to start this blog when I turned 25. To spread positivity & life learning with those who are in their 20s. This blog is for every twenty-somethings and also in the same life as me, and to guide them for not doing the mistakes which I have done. Through this blog I'm going to share lessons received from the people, I me

The fundamental question is – who you really are? This question is repeatedly asked by those who want a new way of life. You may be a bus driver, a fireman, a rich man, a poor man, etc. that is your occupation but not who you really are. It is not your essence; the celestial you. The question of who you really are can be approached as a theoretical question, though; the response would necessitate observing more intensely into yourself. On the road to attain a growing, one m

It can happen to any of us. Everything is going well, you feel you are in a really great place in your life or in what you are doing, and suddenly something happens that completely throws you off your center. In an instant everything has changed and you feel lost with no idea what to say or where to go next. Or in another scenario, perhaps it feels like little things just keep piling up, one on top of another. None of them by themselves seems like such a big deal, yet the com

If your soul is striving to go on a spiritual journey to find your true self, then Haridwar is the destination to head towards. It is a famous pilgrimage place, but there's a whole lot more to the city which tourists can enjoy. Its heritage charm coupled with its laid back lifestyle brings in thousands of visitors each year.
