The bulk of self-empowerment coaches and motivational speakers tell you that there are only two main elements that matter in getting what you want in life: 1. Taking positive action 2. Thinking positive thoughts (to attract what you want) If it were only that easy.

After employing past life regression techniques for our own benefit and others for over 20 years, we frequently perceive spontaneous flashes of insight related to past lives without having to do a formal regression. How do we know the insight is authentic? We cannot bring forth related physical evidence, of course, but what we perceive to be authentic past life recall tends to be accompanied by strong emotion and seems very fitting after giving it some thought. Below are what we have perceived to be select past lives of celebrities.
First let me explain what I mean by “emotional terrorism.” When you have a relationship, at home or at work, with a person who’s constantly humiliating you, harassing you, pressuring on you, taking pleasure in your pain, saying negative things about you or making you feel worthless, then you ...
A client told us that he’s had at least seven bad accidentsnthroughout his life. At the scene of the last one (a car nroll-over), after walking away without a scratch, a stranger ntold him “God has something special for you.” He asked us ifnthose accidents could have been his possible destined ...
We received the following question recently: “What happens if you don’t take action at the right time to manifest your destiny? Does this mean you will miss it? Or miss important events in your life? Will the opportunity present itself again at a later time?” Based on our empirical research, we believe that at least 75% of the core events, circumstances, and conditions (rewarding and challenging) in your life are predestined. That means those things will transpire no matter what.
Several years ago I was torn. I was going through a period where I wasn’t sure what I wanted, but I knew it wasn’t the life that I had. I was unhappy in my work. My love life wasn’t what I wanted it to be (as I was single). And there were more experiences, and even toys that I wanted in my life. But I wasn’t sure exactly what to do about all that. I took a pad and paper and went to my favorite spot in Tallahassee, Lake Ella. I found a quiet place to sit and write, and I just started writing. I wrote down exactly what I wanted to have as a life.
Have you ever been curious about your past lives? Pay attention, because the clues to your past lives are easily accessible. All you need is some direction to find out what and where you were in the distant past and if you take notice, your past will begin to unfold before your eyes. Skeptical? That’s good, it’s healthy to avoid automatically embracing (or rejecting) concepts you haven’t thoroughly investigated. We were skeptical too, long ago.
Pressure from sociological forces such as TVnprogramming, movies, advertising, family, andnfriends dictate that you must pair off for anlong-term relationship and join the herd orn“couples only” club. While this is easy for those who happen to benfated to have a relationship with a ...
If you've tried many times to quit smoking but you haven't been able to make it permanent, it may be time to consider the little talked about spiritual side of addiction: Ghosts. What do ghosts have to do with an addiction to cigarettes? More than you may realize.
When difficult or traumatic experiences occur in our lives, we naturally wonder, “Why did this happen? What does it mean?” Often, such experiences may appear not to have any particular meaning; they may seem to be nothing more than purposeless suffering. Yet, in my years as a spiritual author and teacher, I have found that not only are our greatest challenges rich with meaning and purpose, but also that very often we ourselves planned those experiences before we were born.
The impact of your life will be determined by your dash.nn When you die they'll indicate on your tomb the year of your birth and the year of your death separated by a dash (1960 â 2020). The dash is your life. What you did. How you lived. Whose life you touched. The legacy you left behind. The more purposefully engaged you are in helping others, the deeper and finer and more memorable is your dash.n So many of us are busily marking tasks off our "To Do" list but how many of

Black magic is defined as the misuse of spiritual energy including harming another person or attempting to get someone to act in accordance with your desires, especially if your desires oppose theirs. In our view, spiritual power is to be used only for good. The moment you try to control or manipulate another person, you step over the line and incur negative karma. Below we list 3 controversial examples of black magic.
When the question "What is the meaning of life?" is asked, one of a variety of questions may be implied, such as: "Why are we here?" (or, "What is the origin of life?"[1]), "What is the nature of life (and of the universe in which we live)?",[1][2] "What is the significance of life?",[2] "What is the purpose of, or in, (one's) life?",[3] and "What is valuable in life?"[4] Some answers have been given, deriving from scientific theories, or philosophical, theological, and spiri

Our Thoughts Are More Important to Our Health tha Our Genes By Else Byskov, author of ”Death Is an Illusion” and ”The Art of Attraction”, author website: www.deathisanillusion.com You very often hear people say that it is their genes that determine if they are well or ill. The notion that it is our genes that determine the state of our health is called genetic determinism, and for many years it has been the foundation of our understanding of the origin of illnesses.

We believe everyone has at least one spirit guide whose main role is to encourage you to make the most appropriate choices in order to learn, grow and accomplish the goals you inca ated for this time. But sometimes when life isn’t going well, it may seem like you’re severely lacking in spiritual assistance. Why didn’t your guides help you avoid a that terrible situation? Couldn’t they have warned you about that person who you had no idea was a secret enemy? Is it possible that your guide took a leave of absence? Might they be upset with you for something you did?

Although love life connections seldom offer pure romantic fantasy, they do offer fantastic opportunities for emotional and spiritual growth, inevitably drawing to the surface anything but bliss and your romantic expectations. Almost everyone wants to be in love and be loved, but unfortunately, the soul mate concept is greatly misunderstood.
Simple living (or voluntary simplicity) is a lifestyle in which individuals consciously choose to minimize the 'more-is-better' pursuit of wealth and consumption. Adherents choose simple living for a variety of reasons, including spirituality, health, increase in 'quality time' for family and friends, stress reduction, conservation, social justice or anti-consumerism, while others choose to live more simply for reasons of personal taste or personal economy.nnSimple living as
I just came back from running barefoot on the sand. I love the feel of the wet earth beneath my feet as I run on the beach. With each step, I leave a profound foot print on the sand. Just instants later, this beautiful footprint is washed away by the ocean. As my footprint slowly disappears, I wonder what kind of footprint I am leaving behind as I walk this earth. âWe all leave footprints in the sand; the question is, will we be a big heal, or a great soul?â Do you ever w
Our long-term findings firmly support the theories of reinca ation and karma. Until we prove them invalid, we will continue to accept them as viable Explanations for some of life’s “mysteries.” Related to the theory of reinca ation is the notion that there are no accidents in life and that you are born into the conditions and key life circumstances (and innate abilities and inclinations) that you have earned through many lifetimes.
Become acquainted with The Law of Attraction – the most important natural law in your life. Else Byskov’s latest book ”The Art of Attraction” explains in clear and logical terms how this fantastic natural law works, and it presents lots of good advice about how to make the law work for you, so that you can attract the things and circumstances in your life that you most want. Fact box: It is irrefutable that there is a law of attraction. This law has been known to physics for more than 100 years, and it decrees that energies on similar wavelengths attract each other.
The law of attraction dictates that you attract that nwhich you focus on. But this spiritual law is onlynone piece of the puzzle. You must take intonconsideration other, equally important spiritualnlaws, some of which transcend the law ofnattraction. These findings, our interpretation below of ...
The well-being or quality of life of a population is an important concern in economics and political science. It is measured by many social and economic factors. A large part is standard of living, the amount of money and access to goods and services that a person has; these numbers are fairly easily measured. Others like freedom, happiness, art, environmental health, and innovation are far harder to measure. This has created an inevitable imbalance as programs and policies a

Whether it’s science or the new biology and the new discoveries of plasticity of the brain it is all resulting from the research and experiments that aging is just another disease that we have been conditioned to believe has to happen. This is amazing and so empowering because that means that we can change or recreate our beliefs about aging to our highest potential abilities. We can start reprogramming ourselves with this new information and wisdom too. Just think of all the thoughts that are our beliefs about aging and all the diseases attached to them.
Cosmic debris is everywhere, and if you’re not careful and don’t protect yourself, it can interfere with your life and cause havoc.
I have been asked many times about how I came to live a plain and simple life, and I am often asked how one begins living a self-reliant lifestyle. How does one transition from living a "virtual life" to a "real" life rooted in the reality of simplicity. In this article I'll share with you how ...

Master numbers include double digit numbers 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, and 99. They are called Master Numbers because there is inherent masterful, ornextraordinary promise symbolized by them. This energynis far from mundane and instead largely other-ndimensional. Therein resides the catch: ...
Perhaps you've experienced the power of affirmations. Tell yourself a thousand times you can't do something, and you're that much closer to failure. Tell yourself repeatedly you can do something, and you're more likely to succeed. Taken to the extreme, some people claim you can manifest anything you want with positive thinking. While we would like that to be true, we have a different view about the subject.
Dealing with idiots is hard. Its one of the hardest areas of my life. Now, before we go any further, yes I realize that seeing someone as an idiot is part of the problem. I am using my phrasing the way I am just because we can all identify with the sentiment. Its has more a draw than “dealing with difficult people”. That’s not what goes through our mind in the moment. What goes through our mind is, “this person’s an idot”. At least, that’s what goes through my mind more often tha I’d like to admit. Its frustrating in part because I know better.

Many of the morals and principles that we live by throughout our life were ingrained in us by our parents when we were young. Among other things, parents are largely responsible for building the character of their children. They are our role models. Children are sponges—they absorb all that they see, hear, and feel. When I was a child my mother used to tell me that, although she was a good and honest person and wanted me to be the same, it didn’t pay to be that way. She said
Have you been feeling a bit dizzy lately? Does time feel like it’s been flying by faster than ever? Experiencing ringing in your ears? Seeing flashes of light or fleeting glimpses of things that aren’t there? If you’re not head-over heels in love, pregnant, or smokin’ da ganja, you may be going through what’s known as ascension symptoms. What are they, why are they happening, what do they mean, and will they ever go away? If you’d like answers to questions like these, the latest installment of Layman just might be the prescription you’ve been looking for.
Deep down inside all of us there is a voice that speaks to our souls. This voice tells us the truth and reminds us of our reality. This voice reminds us where we have come from and where we want to go. This voice embodies and articulates the potential we each have. We need to listen to it more often.nnIt is sometimes difficult to separate what we think we should do to what motivates us and gives us the most energy. In our most introspective and vulnerable moments when we allo

Have you ever utilized the power of positive affirmations? Some say you can reach any goal, including improving your sex life, with positive thinking. Though we believe some things are out of reach no matter what you do, positive affirmations can help you with what is within reach. After years of empirical research, we believe all areas of life, including your sex life, are greatly impacted by your present and past life experiences. Your personal timing and destiny (the same thing as fate) reflects your past and present.

The power of the human mind is astonishing. You’re aware of your conscious mind, the part of you that is knowingly reading this right now, but your collective subconscious mind is of its own volition, and doesn’t always agree with your conscious desires. Try as you might, you aren’t really in control of your subconscious mind which greatly influences your behavior.

One of the biggest and most important issues facing everyone right now is the state of their financial health. Let’s face it, money matters. Financial stress is the number one killer of relationships. Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that suicide rates in the U.S. tend to rise during recessions and fall amid economic booms. So money is obviously important to people. But what is money?
