Smoking has always been associated with a feeling. Watch practically any Hollywood film shot before 1970, and smoking is associated with glamour, prestige, and a certain worldliness otherwise denied to those without a lighter and the ability to effortlessly blow smoke rings. So why do so many people assume that smoking is primarily a physical addiction? Smoking is instead an emotional experience, and as such, is impossible to quit unless the smoker is willing to admit how dee

Sally Churgel, a Bay area teacher/healer recalls a woman who came to her Integrated Awareness® session one winter afternoon and made a life-changing discovery. "She came to me because she felt the creativity in her life was stuck in low gear," she said. "She told me she had cancer this past year and a hysterectomy. As I touched her I sensed her womb indeed felt empty but it had a much deeper, colder sense to me, unyielding. It felt as though the ‘void’ there w

Our lives can be challenging, overwhelming and hectic. We struggle to get everything done. The days seem to be never ending yet too short to accomplish everything on our list. Stuck in an automatic pilot, we go about our lives tired and restless wishing that things could be different. And the good news is that they can be if you choose to raise your energy. You see energy is everywhere. It is the core structure of our physical world and in the empty space that connects everyt

Question: Could you please explain all of these forms of connection that The Zohar is describing, or can you give an example? What is the easiest way to visualize them? Answer: The Zohar describes the forms of connection between the souls: types (lion, ox, eagle, man), Sefirot (Gevurah, Hesed, Tifferet, Yesod), letters (Chaf, Zain, Tav), colors (white, black, red, green), and so forth. When all of a sudden you experience a certain spiritual sensation, this gives you a clear u

"Bliss is not an emotion or even a state of being. It has nothing to do with outward appearance or personality. The same bliss animates anger, sadness, happiness, and humour. It is the electricity that powers emotions, powers the physical, and the mental. It is in everything and remains also as nothing. When you experience that this same bliss is the underlying current of every experience and non experience, there is incredible freedom. When you fully allow the personality to be exactly as it isrnwhile remaining aware you realize your true naturer

The Legislation of Forgiveness is among the eleven forgotten laws put together by Bob Proctor. Proctor himself abides by these laws and is thought to evangelise his beliefs to others around the world. In keeping with Proctor, the Legislation of Forgiveness requires people to let issues go emotionally and learn to forgive.Proctor believes that it's too simple for people to put blame on each other or in charge themselves. Inserting the blame on one other or oneself takes plenty

Presence can be imagined as celebrating the deepest knowing of who you are through an experience of feeling. In spiritual circles, we hear just about every teacher reminding everyone to “be present,” but what does that mean? Being present simply means to be aware of whatever you are feeling in your current experience. nnThis practice of presence does not urge us to understand why we are feeling the way we are, or even evaluate whether or not we are pleased with what we ar

The new generation is more concerned about their bodies and hence going to gym for exercise is very popular, though some do it for the sake of maintaining their social status or looking fashionable.rnModern exercise is machine oriented and a variety of equipment have been designed for this purpose to cater for different needs of people.

The Legislation of Obedience, as written by Bob Proctor, can be utilized by everybody in day-after-day life. The Regulation of Obedience is a part of the eleven forgotten legal guidelines and does not discriminate in opposition to those that believe within the legal guidelines and work in direction of applying the legal guidelines of their lives. The Law of Obedience is about respect and avoiding disruption. In Bob Proctor’s personal phrases this law means, “Work with the

Our perception of the traits and characteristics that make us who we are is often tightly intertwined with how we live our life. We define ourselves in terms of the roles we adopt, our actions and inactions, our triumphs, and what we think are failures. As a result it is easy to identify so strongly with a decision that has resulted in unexpected negative consequences that we actually become that "wrong" decision. The disappointment and shame we feel when we make what we perc

A few months ago I was on the phone with a friend who was visiting family in her old home town. She’d just challenged her parent’s boast about the diversity of their church, by asking where the gays were seated amongst all the recently-immigrated Africans and Asians in the pews. I’d just come out of a meeting in San Francisco’s Castro district. As I began walking back to my neighborhood, listening to my friend vent frustration, I passed a group of men with very long g

No matter which spiritual techniques you practice, it all really comes down to attention. Whether you are watching your breath or repeating the name of a Guru or God, or are asking "who am I" or witnessing or surrendering, they all require your complete attention. And it is through the practice of attention that you grow in awareness. Understanding intellectually only gets you on to the path. Through practice you experience what the words point to. And through experience, that which you are seeking becomes your reality.

Sense is a matter of sensibilities. Just because we can't make sense of something does not imply that it is non sense. Perception, by virtue of its very nature, is subjective. It is said that there is nothing good or bad, there are only perspectives. When we learn to accommodate other's perspective, we give ourselves a chance to live in a more beautiful, humane and egalitarian world. Sometimes what is apparent to us denies us the opportunity to see what was presented to us. Often our thoughts, behaviors and actions are guided by stereotypes, prejudices and surface view of appearances.

When we create something, we expect people to appreciate our creation. And appreciation of creativity is shown in different ways. It can be with a simple pat on the shoulder, a thumb's up or a wink of an eye. But have you experienced when your creation was being ignored by people? Especially from those you expect to value your work more?It's really disappointing. Sometimes, we are looking forward to seeing the appreciative look from people especially from our family and frien

Since decades now personality tests have been used as a tool for recruitment. However this has been limited to only certain types of careers such as the military, government and research organizations. It was considered that jobs in these careers were such that individual's personality would influence his performance. Hence the custom of conducting personality tests as part of the evaluation process for recruitment.nnIn recent years, it has emerged that personality tests may

The term “late bloomer” is the perfect way to describe me. I had to hit 50 before I admitted that I was not enjoying my life. I had a good job, nice car, traveled all over the country and had more friends than I could count. What was wrong with me?nnWhen I really started digging into the source of my discontent, it came down to the fact that I am nocturnal. Getting up to an alarm clock five days a week was not fun. I always felt sleep deprived because I seldom went to sle

Nicotine is often cited as being one of the most addictive substances on earth; but, despite its intoxicating nature, the truth behind why people smoke is not rooted solely in a simple physical craving. Smoking, like many other addictions, is also heavily based in an individual’s psychological outlook. Almost anyone can train themselves not to pick up a cigarette, but it is far more difficult to train the mind to stop imagining smoking as a pleasurable activity. Smokers who

I love the mystery implicit in theories such as those of quantum mechanics. They describe, for example, the sub-atomic world – a world in which strange elements with stranger names live - photons, quarks, leptons and antiquarks…hundreds actually. These are theoretically the primary elements that constitute the intimate nature of matter. Yet they behave in strange and unpredictable ways, at least according to our understanding of reality. As technology progresses,

I have often wondered what it was that caused me to not do what I said I wanted to do or to stay in patterns that were not congruent with what I wanted at the deepest levels of my being. Consciousness Shifting came out of this introspection and reflection and was a direct result of asking that question. nnOne of the things we have learned in working with clients is that there is a significant amount of programming that drives behaviors and actions. This programming or coding

Permanent smoking cessation — it’s not just a pipe dream. In fact, learning how to stop smoking forever is relatively easy, as long as you understand what smoking is. Smoking is often categorized as a physical addiction, but the truth is that smoking goes much deeper, and has much more complicated roots. To stop smoking permanently, you have to uproot the addiction at its source, which means understanding the psychological and emotional components of the addiction. Even t

Traditional property portals, like Rightmove, prioritise page views over speed of access to information. Their business model is based on fees from estate agents and advertising.

The field of Metaphysics had taken a bad blow when people try and say EXTRA SENSORY PERCEPTIONS is something 'extra' you have in your psychic and this is not true. In the science of METAPSYCHICS, we find that Extra Sensory Perception is really EXTENDED SENSORY PERCEPTION. No man has anything 'extra' that no other man has, but he can EXPAND the range of his senses and this will give him more abilities to deal with the real world. By extended we mean a man can learn and train his senses so that they all act as one and are controlled in one place, by one source, your mind.

Life is indeed a puzzle. I'm going to be rambling here, so get ready. Puzzles have a lot of pieces, fragments that don't seem to be related to each other upon opening the box. You can see some similarities, giving you clues to the eventual assembly of the puzzle. Just like puzzle pieces, seemingly random events occur in our lives. But they also seem to come in sets or groupings, where the theme of these occurences appear to be related to each other.rnI can think back of Junio

Quitting smoking isn’t just about finding new ways to keep your hands occupied—it’s about changing the way we feel about cigarettes. Although many smoking cessation programs focus on the physical aspects of smoking, the root of the addiction is buried deep within our emotions. Without changing the way we feel about cigarettes, we will continually lapse and start smoking again. This is why so many people try to quit smoking and fail—they haven’t figured out that the

Ideal, he or she is my ideal companion. Tall or short, blonde or brunette, loud or quiet, wise, or dumb, the list of preferences goes on and on. They must act this way, they must come from this bloodline, and they must surely be on the same level. List, we’ve riddled love down to checklists. A list so long that it takes half a lifetime to find the ending. Even the shape of one’s body is more important than the chronic joy another brings upon our face. What happened to us?

rnTrading up is the topic this week in my online journal community, and it came just in time to help me apply it to something that just happened.rnSo, I am a new Life Coach and I recently changed the message on my answering machine to include this information.

"I often hear people saying they can't meditate. But what they are really saying is they won't meditate. Whatever reasons they give, the truth is in meditation they have come across an experience they do not wish to experience. Whether they are conscious of it or not, they have felt a sensation that they do not wish to feel. The reasons on top of this are just excuses. The moment you allow yourself to experience those sensations you are avoiding, then you see the futility of your reasons, the futility of your thoughts. The futility of trying to figure it all out.r

A year ago I wrote a book entitled TEGO ARCANA DEI - "Keeping God's Secret" which told the story of my life from the 1960's to 2006. It was written in my pen-name Andrew Man, about the adventures of seven young women and a British hero - James Pollack. Having never written a book before, I used these pages to explore female consciousness from past intimate liaisons which were probably a big mistake? Having autographed the book at the BEA 2011 in New York, I realise that my story was not such a great success and perhaps I had failed?

"The moment you have a position, there is conflict. The moment you know something you have to defend it. We believe we know so much but the truth is if we really look we know nothing. And because we are afraid to know nothing we give things names and definitions and explanations which can always be argued tornbe true or untrue. And there is nothing wrong with this. It is the nature of the mind. But those who can experience this moment in the acceptance of not knowing anything, in not having a position experience unconditional peace. Unconditional peacer

Apart from achieving our personal ambitions in life, we should strive to keep the aim of ‘not to hurt or cause pain to any living being’ too. This is one of the highest principles of human life. I personally believe that I would give others what I would like to receive. I would not like to be hurt by others so I should not hurt anyone. This is the aim of my life- human life. Whilst the fulfilling of ambition gives us personal satisfaction, an aim of ‘not to hurt or caus

People are in search for God because, they do not know really who is God and where exactly His real abode is. Some believe God exists in heaven while some believe He resides in temples or churches.

There is nothing more enjoyable, more enriching then the practice of spiritual awareness in meditation. In this short article, I will teach you all you need to know about spiritual awareness. Consider this: In the mind, you are always going somewhere. You are always looking around the next corner for contentment. Whether you are looking for your next lover, the next holiday, the next mountain to climb, the next task on your list to do, or simply the next meal, the mind is always looking forward to something. And because of this, you are never aware of the present moment.

No one administers the law of Karma. It is natural. rnEverything that occurs is a result of natural consequences and there is no higher body controlling the world. Everything that we see, experience and endure is a result of our own self-administered karmas.

If everyone is becoming more spiritually conscious, know that the world is all set to soon become a haven better than heaven!!Spiritual Consciousness Means To Be Aware Of The Real Self. All along, we have always believed ourselves to be the body or the name given to identify this body, and therefore have been body-conscious or (worldly) self-conscious.

"Meditation is a bit like gardening. You plant some carrot seeds and then every day you water it, you pull the weeds, you nourish the carrot plant in every way you can.
