Everyone has a story to tell. Some of the stories that make up your existence are empowering and very uplifting, some create shackles that keep you stuck where you are. Woven within your stories are your beliefs, which create your reality. A popular pastime is to carry stories around like a badge of honour, bringing them out in a show-and-tell fashion as a means of defining our reality. Expressing past experiences is a good start to the process of clearing pain from past traumatic events.

We all do it at one time or another.

In your imagination you have no issue wit

BrainWaves and Your Conscious Awareness

When you believe in yourself, anything is possible. It's nice if someone else believes in us, and for some that can sure help them to become more confident, but ultimately you have to believe in you for change to happen-because it's what you believe will happen in your life that will happen, not what everybody else thinks.

We all face it on occasion: those times when energy management becomes an issue! It can show itself in many guises, such as general insomnia (either with falling asleep or staying asleep), exhaustion, erratic mood swings or a feeling of heaviness/lowness, like you’re being held down. No matter what’s causing it – it often doesn’t seem to have a measurable “cause” – it can leave you feeling drained, depressed or even angry. This is not conducive to being all you can be!

Albert Einstein's famous equatio E=mc2 proved that everything in the universe is energy. The physical existence of our reality and the abstract reality of our mind are made from an energy pattern. The concept of a universal energy is not a new one. Chinese people call this energy chi and the ancient Hindus called it prana. Two of the arts that developed in those two cultures - t'ai chi and yoga, are based on the art of tapping into the flow of energy and using it to balance one’s self.

The French Algerian philosopher, Albert Camus, expounded the philosophy known as absurdism. According to absurdism, although life is meaningless human beings are faced with the dilemma of hankering for meaning in a meaningless world. Camus says that there are three ways of resolving this dilemma: 1) Commit suicide. (Camus rejects this as cowardly.) 2) Believe in a transcendental reality beyond the absurd. (Camus rejects this as philosophical suicide because it amounts to the destruction of reason, which is just as fatal as the suicide of the body.) 3)Accept the Absurd.

Your mind is a valuable tool that most people don't use to its fullest. If everyone used it to the maximum capability, there would be no more war, illness or anger. We simply access a small portion. This is not true of every civilization or person. Some use means to increase their awareness and access the supe atural powers of their mind. It proves that we all are capable. Taoist of China had a background that acknowledged mysticism and control of the elements. Like many early civilizations, they practiced shamanism.

Selflessness caters characteristics more profound within the human psyche than most others that can ever be described or expressed by an individual. One must completely engage their inner standers of compassion to aid another in moments of weakness or hopelessness. The merciful services rendered in absolute trust and self-sacrifice depicts the sheer intent for selflessness.

Sit comfortably and take a few slow, deep breaths. Settle your awareness in your heart. Now ask yourself this difficult question: What is wrong with me? Although we spend much of our lives disguising and suppressing the answers to this question, this is your opportunity to access it. You carry negative self-judgments because you’ve accepted the opinions of others as legitimate. This is the time to challenge their validity. To help begin the process, look at the following li

DO YOU HAVE an "assertion hero/ine" - i.e. someone you regard as exceptionally adept at asserting her or his needs, feelings, opinions, and boundaries? Would others name *you* as a world-class asserter? The American Management Association once defined "assertion" as communicating in a way that others can hear (understand and accept, vs. agree with) you. How does that compare with your definition? Popular alte atives to assertion are aggression ("I put my needs and worth above yours") and submission ("I rank my needs and dignity below yours").

Bob Pike, author of "The Fun Minute Manager" , explains that bosses need to lighten up and that they should strive to create an office culture that is fun and enjoyable. He adds that bringing fun into the workplace reduces employee turnover, increases creativity and innovation, makes employees more productive, and it’s good for the bottom line. A fun work environment is one in which regular activities are scheduled that are designed to uplift people’s spirits and remind them of their value to their boss and to the organization as a whole.

So on my family's property there is this pine tree. It is called a Puzzle-bark Pine, although I don't think that is the official scientific name. The name derives from the way the bark forms on the trunk of the tree. Over time, as the pine tree grows, the bark begins to look like a puzzle. There are lines outlining chunks of bark, so the tree literally looks like a puzzle that has been carefully put together. This tree is majestic. It towers so high that I can't see the top w

Lucid dreaming is one method of solving difficult problems you have during the waking hours. Since your mind isn't focusing on other tasks as you sleep, like sensory input, it allows it to be far more creative. If you've ever forgotten a name, a date or even something important you wanted to tell someone and simply decided to quit stressing and allow it to simply come to you, you'll understand how lucid dreaming works. You relax your thoughts and the solutions find you rather than the other way around. Scientists, artists and novelists often find important information in lucid dreams.

For many people, the relationship they have with the Divine is unconscious, and this arrangement works well for them.

Why understanding each others values can help resolve conflicts. Assuming that you have taken your time to identify your values, it's very important to become clear about the hierarchy they are in as well. Why is that? Because we can share values with the people we surround ourselves with, but have completely different ways of living them depending on what is most important to us. To show an example; Lets say that you and your new-found romantic partner shares these top values; Love, Health, Adventure, Fun and Wealth. Your hierarchy might look like this: 1. Wealth

The truth of the matter is that I myself or Dherbs.Com has never healed anybody. This is the gospel truth! I have only healed myself and no one else. I don't have the power to heal anyone other than myself. No one can heal another person. No one! To do so would violate Divine law and order. Only God and the human body can heal. To say someone else or some product healed or cured you of a disease is to give your power away to something or someone outside of yourself. Always re

There must be a higher love/Without it life is wasted time.” Those are the opening words to one of my favorite Steve Winwood songs. What could a higher love mean in your life — in the life of your clients? Often, during a speaking engagement, I include a potent and important word that has people flinch — “Love.” They try to manage their flinching by adjusting their seats so that their neighbor or I won’t notice. But, however subtle the movement, there it is. I’m not sure wha

Surround yourself with supportive energy and remove yourself from draining people! You do not need to get unfocused and confused by getting involved in other people's dramas and beliefs about life. People around you will most certainty be scared of you when you begin to radiate the powerful being that you are, and they will try to pull you down, but there is no need for you to let them. In fact, you cannot help them if you dip into the negativity with them.

I am always fascinated by what people say about others. Inevitably, what people say about others says mountains about them.

Telekinesis is also known as psychokinesis or (PK), which is the moving of objects using just your mind with no other physical contact involved. This is probably the rarest ability because very few have been able to demonstrate such ability and skeptics pretty much don’t believe in it at all. ...

I used to sell real estate limited partnerships. I had no idea what I was doing. The first thing I did when I got the job was walked up to the number one sales guy in the office and said, “Watch my tracks.” Then I went home figuring I had set up the game. The next day I discovered that he, being there for two years, had all the good leads and leads were seldom coming in anymore. I needed to create a game and I was a greenhorn. Not wanting to get hurt too badly, I began calling therapists. I figured they couldn’t be too nasty to me, and they weren’t. I didn’t sell to any of them either.

Kids and adults omit or distort the truth to avoid expected pain. The pain may come from within or from other people. From this view, we liars are *scared,* not bad or immoral! We're still responsible for our behavior. Think of the last time you needed to lie to someone. What discomfort were you avoiding? Now think of the last time you feel someone was dishonest with you. What do you think s/he was avoiding? Premise - all adults and kids avoid being completely honest at times because we feel *unsafe* disclosing the truth.

Doctors and researchers use hypnosis for everything from helping people lose weight, quit smoking and overcome fears to developing ESP capabilities and healing incurable diseases. Studies done in parapsychology labs show that PSI scores are higher when the subject is in a state of psychological inadequacy according to Dr. Jan Ehrenwald. He named the state the “minus function”. It is a state where the conscious mind relaxes or doesn’t function and allows the subconscious to work. Subjects achieve the state when asleep or under hypnosis.

Tao Te Ching: Verse 76 A man is born gentle and weak. At his death he is hard and stiff. Green plants are tender and filled with sap. At their death they are withered and dry. Therefore the stiff and unbending is the way of death. The gentle and yielding is the way of life. Thus an army without flexibility never wins a battle. A tree that is unbending is easily broken. The hard and strong will fall. The soft and weak will overcome. What is Lao Tzu asking us to consider in Verse 76? It seems he is asking us to be flexible

It's said by some Atlanta astrologers that Margaret Mitchell was an astrologer before she was a writer...and the book that brought "Hollywood to Atlanta" and fame to it's author had a very surprising beginning.

Before we begin to discuss this powerful technique to attain self realization, we need to understand what is keeping us from self realization. We have to realize what we are constantly doing that separates us more and more from our own experience of oneness.

Have you been taught to believe the myth that some human emotions are "positive" and others "negative"? If someone asked you to name "negative" emotions, which ones come to mind? Terror? Disgust? Rage? Jealousy? Envy? Shame? Guilt? EVERY EMOTION IS USEFUL! Try the idea that every one of your emotions (involuntary neural-hormonal-muscular reactions) exists for a natural reason or purpose. If you agree, then it becomes useful to (a) name each specific emotion in important situations, and identify (b) why it exist now, and (c) what any emotion means to you and other people.

Why do some people hate to swim and others love it? Why do some people like broad-shouldered, solid physiques and others are drawn to willowy frames? Why do some people explode with anger when others would pout and withdraw? Why do some people become leaders and others are content to follow? Why do some people always get colds and others never? Why does one person want an explanation for everything and another follows his gut with no questions asked? Why does one eat like a h

“Remember first that everything U think, say & do is a reflection of what you've decided about yourself” - Neale Donald Walsch The above quote was a tweet on Twitter that I saw the other day. Neale Donald Walsch (author of the Conversations with God book series) is one of my most favorite authors. This quote caused me to reflect on much of what I have written about in other articles here on HubPages. The quote speaks to me of walking what we talk, meaning what we say, living an honorable, genuine reflection of who we believe We Truly Are.

"What more could have been said?" I wondered, left with a feeling of content, after reading Joyce Garity's essay "Is Sex All That Matters?" Able to identify with her on most of her viewpoints of the world in which we live in today, I felt some of the weight being lifted from off my shoulders; relieved that I'm not the only human in this world looking upon magazine and TV ads, with half-naked models posing as sex exploits, as a brainwashing on people's minds.nnWe are influence
