“I want to be forever young” was a quote that I read on someone’s Facebook page recently. Forever young: what exactly does this mean? Stay at the same age forever? Look youthful all the time? Keep the same energy level? Remain young at heart? Continue to live like you are a teenager?

Reinca ation and Earthbound Spirits: How does that work? A True Case Study... (Names and other details changed) Sarah a young twenty something walks nervously through my London treatment room door, she sits down awkwardly and tells me why she has come. 'Someone recommended I came to see you, I can be going about my day, doing the most normal of things and suddenly I feel incredibly isolated, like I should be somewhere else, it's so strong it almost paralyses me, like I have been taken over, it even happens to me when I am laughing with my mates.'

"I am come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10 It has been said that nothing matters more than knowing God's purposes for your life, and that living with purpose is the only way to really live. Conversely, nothing can compensate for not knowing that purpose.

Have you ever felt the pressures and expectations of keeping up with today’s latest lifestyle and trends? Yes? Okay, fess up. How many of us have an Apple product in our house? iPod, iPhone, iPad, Mac computer, etc.? I do. I received an iPod from a vendor a few months ago, and it is still sitting in the package on my dresser. Now, some of you might say that it’s a waste for me to not use it right now. I mean, I could download 100’s of songs and listen to them while I go on my daily walk. But, if I did, I could be missing out on something more important than an iPod or iTunes.

It is inevitable that you are going to find yourself in situations where you just won't be on the same side as other people. It's just a part of life. If we all agreed, that would make for an interesting situation, but try as you may, it just is not going to happen. The problem becomes when we find ourselves in those situations where we disagree with others. How do we handle it? What do we say? How should we express ourselves? These are all very good questions. r

Yesterday my husband and I arrived at the Bight, a cove off Norman Island in the British Virgin Islands. We took the dinghy to the beautiful beach just in front of Pirates Bar, which was closed because of hurricane season. The beach was still beautiful and we were looking forward to enjoying some R&R in the sunshine and warm waters.nnThe one thing that I dislike in the water there is jellyfish. We saw not just the traditional little 3-4” jellyfish, but on this visit the BVI

I had some issues remembering a school event that resonated with me and I also could tell everybody among the countless ones which I possessed. minutes I made the decision to stay with a day and also a moment that is distinctive to anyone who experiences it. I have never counted myself as a sentimental person. Inspirational moments often pass me by with little reaction on my part. However even I could hardly deny the pride and emotion I felt on a warm, summer morning in 2005.

What you believe in is the truth from your own choices and perception. Looking towards another person and viewing into their eyes, one can see their inner truth that comes from their heart over what they believe in and find important. This shows the foundation for their understanding and ...

The music starts bumping. The lights are flashing. My dancers strut their way on stage and I start singing to a packed crowd of 1,000 club-goers at the SoHo dance club in Los Angeles. Was it a fun, awesome, powerful experience?! Actually, no. Instead of feeling the exhilaration of the moment on one of my first big performances as a solo music artist, I spent those 3 minutes completely in my head. As I sung my groovy song on auto-pilot, I scanned the room and had these random thoughts consuming my attention: Wow what a big crowd! They all look Asian. I hope they don’t boo us.

There is a strange phenomenon that occurs every day in the business world. In fact it’s so ‘out there,’ that I bet people don’t even realize that they are doing it. Did you ever CAREFULLY listen to people’s voicemails. How CREDIBLE are they? Do people know that they are not following through on their WORD each and every day… 5, 10, perhaps even 20 times A DAY? “I’m on the other line, but will be back to you at my earliest convenience.” “I’m out of the office but will return your call as soon as I return.” “Leave a message and I’ll return your call promptly.”r

You may not be an incomparable genius like Albert Einstein or William Shakespeare. Nevertheless, the world could not get by without you. Your contributions to society and the world at large are the focus of the exciting book; You're a Worthwhile Person in More Ways than a Million. rnSimeon W. Johnson offers unique glimpses into the world of those taken all too often for granted: the anything-but-ordinary, unsung workers who are as valuable to us as our society's 'stars.' From

“Words, once they are printed, have a life of their own.” –Carol Burnett From Graffiti to Great Literature, All Writing is Important to Someone! “The power of the pen has not diminished. It is an age-old way to escape, pour out emotions, play with ideas, give meaning to the world and also entertain. ALL writing is important and the power of the pen will stay strong until the end.” THE PEN IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE SWORD WHAT you write can have far-reaching consequences. Article Title: “The Pen is Mightier (More Powerful) Than The Sword”r

How do you attract more of what you want? What do you do when it feels like nothing is working out for you? Recently I interviewed Patricia Ryan Madson*, author of the book, Improv Wisdom. You might recall that I wrote about Patricia’s book on this blog on May 1st, exploring the question, “Without you, what would not get done?” In my interview, Patricia said something that jarred me into a new reality. She said, “In every moment, we are always receiving far more than

This article simply expresses my own thoughts and ideas on parent child relationships. It is certainly an intelligent dissertation based on my own education and experience. I would not however use my beliefs to counter anyone else’s beliefs. Relationships are not exact and can’t be approached with formulas which might work for mathematical equations and scientific experiments. Relationships are personal and there are too many variables involved for me to attempt to dictate what yours should be. Let’s keep those thoughts in mind as we go forward.

One thing that I believe many of us forget about is the fact that in order to be successful we need to have people to support us in our cause. In the military a paratrooper needs to have people who are specialists in packing parachutes to pack their chutes for them. The trooper does not have the time to learn how to pack his own chute because he has a million other conce s to worry about. This most critical operation has to be performed by someone who he doesn’t even know.

What does it mean to be a conscious human being? This isn’t exactly the opposite of being unconscious as in BAM! - someone knocks you out - but almost. The best parallel I can think of is kids - such oblivious little mortals. They will step on your foot without knowing it, butt in front of you ...

A Book “Review”: Building Bridges: Christianity and Islam by Fouad Elias Accad (Paperback)

Why is that we have two ears and one mouth? Quite an interesting phenomena, isn't it? It's definitely something to ponder. I'm sure there is some really good scientific reason for it, but I can only tell you what I was told when I was growing up: God gave us two ears and one mouth so that we could listen twice as much as we speak. r

Let me clarify exactly what I mean when I talk about a correct frame of mind. When I say correct frame of mind I am referring to whatever frame of mind that it takes to help you get through a bad situation. A correct frame of mind has to be positive. I have heard of stories of people who were lost in the wilde ess. There are several accounts that I have read where those involved made up in their minds that they would not die. There was even one account where the lost gentleman repeated over and over to himself that he would not die.

Breath helps in all things. Deep diaphragmatic breathing is a great way to connect in the moment. You can follow the breath on its journey through your body, see it entering your nose down your throat into your belly deep in your lungs feeding your body the stuff of life, nourishing you, healing you. Watch is leave taking with it all the stress, disease and fear with it. There is a yogic technique of placing the tongue tip of the tongue to the top ridge of the mouth as you breath in and out of your nose brings immediate calming relief.r

“Look across all sport and observe the truly great. All had this zest for combat, this taste for being truly tested. All wished to explore the limits of their own possibilities. Time after time we are forced to wonder why one great talent succeeds… and another still greater talent falls short? The reason is not mere “the will to win”. Rather it is the will to be tested at the very highest level. It is the ability to not only dwell on the far edge of sporting possibility, but to hold one’s balance…and to relish the proximity of the void.”rn-fine writing from The Times, London

Many people walk the road for the search of ultimate truth. We all want to know why we exist and how creation is formed. How life should be perceived and explored. We are avid explorers deriving meaning out of experiences and for some this extends further into the realm of philosophy, leading ...

There are two ways that we can look at problem solving. There is the way that we would like to use to solve the problem and there is the way that we must use if we ever hope of solving it. That is particularly true when we find that the world is not turning the way that we would like.

Many of us are just good natured people who don’t think twice about doing for others when they need help. There is nothing wrong with being good natured and we should maintain our integrity but there are times that we just need to learn to say no. We can be too giving in our relationships with others. Now I realize that many of you are givers by nature and that is perfectly fine. Giving is what you live to do. I’m not saying that you should attempt to change from what God has created you to be but you can certainly find people to give to who will appreciate the things that you do for them.

It is always an honor when I am asked to speak at graduation time. The opportunity to share my thoughts of encouragement as I look into the eyes of tomorrow’s champions is exhilarating, to say the least. Here is a summary of my message to this year’s crop of graduating seniors: “As you turn the page on the next chapter of your life, I’d like to offer you three powerful words of advice.

Self-realization is the ultimate goal of spirituality. People on the spiritual path spend a lot of time seeking a master, attending lectures, reading spiritual books. It is good to learn and take guidance from the great thinkers but blindly following or imitating them makes a person lose their own originality and spiritual dignity.

One of the greatest milestones in my life came about the day that I stumbled upon the following citation by Tony Robbins, “Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.” When it is well understood and assimilated, this one sentence contains an entire philosophy. It can become a life’s purpose, a source of motivation and a guiding light to achievement and self-actualization.

A while back browsing thru blogs, I bumped in to one where the blogger was questioning whether noble emotions still reside in the hearts of men.

Live your life. Switch off. Unplug. Experience things. This was the advice I read the other day from a writer. I think about it every day. I look around during my commute to work in a crowded train and I see strangers with their heads down, plugged in. Smart phones, e-readers, iPods, tablets, a whole world of personal entertainment at hand. In reality, what I see is consumers, people using, addicts. I am not a Buddhist monk meditating in the carriage though. I listen to music

The first time a person looks at you and even talks to you he or she forms an impression of who you are and what you are about. You are the one who gives credibility to what that person thinks and contrary to popular belief it is difficult to change. The first impression is a lasting impression so if you make an impression on another person when you are having a bad day that impression unfortunately will follow you throughout the entire time that you are acquainted with that person.

The definition of a fool is……..a silly or stupid person; a person who lacks judgment or sense. How many of us have been fools for love and the sake of love? I was out to lunch with my girlfriends a few days ago and I posed the question, “why are we fools for love?” They all replied, “because we love to fall in love.”

According to Deloitte’s recent Shift Index survey, 80% of people are actually dissatisfied with their job. They hate going to work most days. If you’re reading this article I guess that includes You. What a way to live - I should know, because I was in that situation for the best part of a decade. I felt like I had no options, like I was trapped. And even if I did find another job I’d be worse off. This sucked all the enjoyment out of my work and I spent my days watching the clock whilst juggling 101 urgent things that needed to be done.

The energy that breaths you, that animates your body, is what distinguishes life from death. Are there energy centers throughout your body; it is optimal for your energy to flow freely.

When my friend was diagnosed with cancer and was facing radiation and chemotherapy, I wondered what I could I do when I lived 2,000 miles away. I couldn’t do any of the usual things to help. Normally, I might offer to drive her to chemotherapy and radiation sessions, take care of her kids, or bring over a meal for her family. But, thanks to the Internet, I could do something. I could send some warmth every morning, a “Daily Smile.” By following these 5 easy steps, I was

Raffle Tickets. We all get approached to buy them. From anyone and from everyone. Some people we know and some people we don ‘t know. It’s usually a small ticket item, $1 or $2 maximum. It’s the old “what goes around, comes around” theory. Someday, sooner or later, you will be selling them or ...

It might be the number one question we are asked. “How do I stay motivated when I have all this bad stuff happening?” Its code for: “How do I get happy when everything is crappy?” One of the most difficult things about obstacles in your life is that they are often have the appearance of being endless. They are not.

Unhappy, unkind, evil and selfish people love those who love them. Do we only love those who love us? What is the required difference? We are to love those who do not love us, who do not know us, who do not conform to our ideals. We are to reach, to stretch, to bloom toward and into the lives and hearts of those who are called 'unlovable'. This is usually a difficult requirement for most of us.
