Self Realization Articles

If you own a stock, you can follow it on the stock exchange and watch it go up and down in value all day. You have no control over the value or the fluctuation. All you really have is the hope and faith that the stock will go up. Your choice lies in keeping it or selling the stock.

Have you ever pondered why we come here to Planet Earth? Where you come here from?

Yes, no, maybe so! People call me psychic. They believe that I can tell the future. Edgar Cayce, one of America’s greatest, foretold plenty, as did Nostradamus, although his complex prose can be interpreted in many ways for events that have since come to pass – or not. Sometimes even I am skeptical about psychic gifts. Not all who claim to be psychic are, and even among the gifted, some are better skilled at recognizing, understanding and communicating the energy patterns they see.

Grounding is a subject that is widely talked about in the self-help world. However, it’s also a technique that’s often confused with other methods, which are similar in nature and provide many of the same benefits. To clear any confusion, grounding means to rid yourself of foreign excess energy that no longer serves you. It is not any of the following: • Taking in Earth energy • Being ‘focused and centered’ within your body • Eating root vegetables

Standing at a kids birthday party one saturday, I overheard a mother use the words before kids . . . to start a sentence. "Before kids," she went on to say, "it seemed like we had a lot of money!" The other parents chimed in, nodding their heads. "Before kids" . . . another mother said, "I used to run triathlons." Rediscover who you are Before kids . . . we traveled the world. And not just travel, but adventure travel! Our trips often led us to exciting and unpredictable dest

This post is a continuation of my previous article, Making Room for Your Dream, where I wrote about making room for your dream. (If you haven’t read it yet, I would definitely recommend reading it before reading on.) Now that we have each taken some time and visualized our dream, sat with it, felt it, and cleared some space for it – it’s time to take action. It’s time for each of us to begin living our dream – bringing it to life – and melding our actual life and our dream life into one.

• Our beliefs contribute to the overall frequency of our being. A belief is a thought we think more than once. The more we think a thought, the more energy is being accumulated, which transforms the thought into a belief. And this energy is reinforced by the attraction of thoughts of a ...

Vast emotions are a derivative from the voice of song that enables reflection of memories or an ideal moment even yet to occur. The empowerment felt from our favorite songs are the same ways life should be felt and celebrated each day, while never being taken for anything less.

Sometimes we want something so badly, and we work so hard to get it. We struggle and sweat and pour our entire beings into it until it happens, it's reality, and it's part of our world. And sometimes it's completely worth it, and it's exactly what we hoped it would be. If it's a job we fought hard to get - we saw ourselves in this position, and now that we are here we see that it's even better than we hoped it would be. If it's a relationship that we yearned for - we met that special someone and are living in happily ever after every day.r

"The very essence of thought is no-thought. The very essence of mind is no-mind. If you try and get rid of thought, then you make thoughts stronger. If you identify with thought, then you make thoughts strongerrn. So the way to samadhi is through thought itself. By allowing a thought to be completely as it is and being fully aware of it you come to the essence of thought. You experience the very nature of thought which is silence itself.

There are various methods to alter your consciousness, sleep deprivation, sensory deprivation, drugs, alcohol and training. Most people have heard of all these things and the term “altered state of consciousness”, but don’t really understand what it means. Consciousness has three states. The ...

As I worked diligently on my business before launching it, I began thinking about what differentiated me from the myriad of other women out there who are fulfilling their deepest desires of bringing forth the power of the Divine feminine into the world. What would be my distinguishing characteristics to draw customers to me instead of to another? What would be my competitive edge to bring to me the abundance that I desire? Do I need a competitive edge? The answer that reverberated inside was no!

Fear can provide the springboard to discover the vastness of who you are. Then, fear acts as catalyst for needed changes to deepen into your true self. An in-depth understanding of fear and a simple, transformational process is outlined to harness this hidden power of fear. After experiencing a profound shift in an exercise from a “Living from Your Soul” retreat, Jim shared what happened and then exclaimed, "Thank God for fear!" Why would anyone say this? No one likes to feel fear or be afraid.

I find that meditating every day in the shower works best for me. You need five to 10 minutes to yourself, where you can consciously cleanse and clear your mind and body. Doing this at the same time every day makes for a great meditation routine. Meditating is about clearing your mind, relaxing your body and initiating contact with your higher self and other dimensions.

In 1999, when Peter Senge wrote the Dance of Change, he described spiritual intelligence as the space, freedom and safety to bring your whole self to work. Nine years later how close are we to seeing and achieving that result? Disengagement, performance gaps, and stress-related illness are all ...

Have you ever gotten out of the driver’s seat and allowed your higher self to take over? Have you ever gotten out of your own way and surrendered to your own higher power? Have you ever let go of your lower self – your human self – your ego – your conscious mind and allowed your higher self – your soul – your divine spirit to take the reins? If so – how did it feel? What was different? When I sit down to write each day, I never know what is going to come out.r

One day I woke up. On this day, I realized that I had been asleep for a very long time – years, actually. Somewhere in my late teens, I decided that life was too scary and difficult to handle, and so I flipped my life switch to auto pilot and crawled back into bed. Every once in awhile, I would groggily awaken, but often it was just for brief moments. Every once in awhile, my spirit would get into the driver’s seat and shake me until I woke up.

It's a mouthful but it's true: each of us has a bit of innate magnanimous magnificence! See, the word "magnanimous" is an adjective. It means "free from petty resentfulness or vindictiveness." It also means "high-minded" and "noble". What an awesome self-realization! To think that we have within us the ability to be "noble", to stand up tall, to be confident in Who We Are and to walk right past all that resentment and vindictiveness we think we rightly deserve to feel.

Yin and Yang To understand the ancient books of Oriental philosophy such as Taoism and the Tao Te Ching one has to understand Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang is the continuous rhythm of life that continually pulsates through the universe, in the seemingly separate but in truth one complementary actions called Yin and Yang. The T'ai-chi T'u diagram illustrates this principle. The symmetrical disposition of the dark Yin and the light Yang suggests cyclical changes. When Yin reaches its climax, it recedes into Yang, then after Yang reaches its climax it recedes back to Yin.

The idea of optimistic observation is basically on the same line of thought as maintaining a positive attitude. When life is experienced through the standpoint of optimistic observation, the perception of events has a powerful impact on the outcome of those same events.

“The way we view life, our perspective, determines how we respond to life. And how we respond to life determines how we experience life” What if there was a way to change your experience of life? To see life not as it appears, but as the potential it promises. What if you could fully manifest the power that flows through you and within you? How might your life be different if you knew you were living in alignment with your soul’s mission?

Have you ever had a moment where you wanted to change in some way, but you didn't because it seemed too crazy, too out of the box, too "not you"? The labels we give ourselves are really powerful.

Yesterday, a marketing guru asked me a question that left me speechless. I had retained Bob to review the copy on my Mystic Warrior website from a sales perspective. He asked about reader reactions. As we talked, I told him how some readers felt compelled, while in the midst of my book, to put it down and meditate. In several cases, they described tingling sensations on the crown of their head and of receiving “downloads of energy and information.” I told Bob they were “attuning with God” and how this is a step towards enlightenment.

You are reading this because you want to obtain the true happiness in your life and you are most likely wanting to be the change you want to see in the world. But then again, you might be ignoring the most valuable thing in your life. “What is the most valuable thing in life” you might ask. The most valuable thing in life that people possess but keep getting ignored is the ‘Development of the Characteristic Qualities’. You might not be aware, but the reason why people can at

Lucid dreaming may be one way of accessing information from the recesses of your mind or participating in a dream but sometimes, it involves even more. Lucid dreamers and those that practice dream control sometimes find themselves viewing places and people that exist and situations that occur miles away. Those that have this form of lucid dream actually advanced to another level, the accomplishment of out of body experiences. A lucid dreamer knows they're dreaming. Some of the clues that one has a lucid dream are noting odd occurrences in the dream.

No one can ever take away your divine inner essence but you can give it away by allowing energetic vampires freedom to lurk around in your life- Sharice Harris They can be physically, emotionally or verbally abusive or they can taunt, smirk, sneer and laugh at you for opening up and speaking your mind lovingly. They are called: ‘Spiritual Bully’s’ because they see Love and optimism as signs of weakness and they often attach themselves to people who do Love in order to get more energy.

Huna came from the Polynesian beliefs, but it is not their religion. It is, instead, a Western interpretation from Max Freedom Long in 1936 of the belief system of the Hawaiians. The words, including Huna, were adapted by Long to aid in his explanation. The Hawaiians have no formal name for the ...

My Miraculous Healing Written by Marijke Verkerk april 2010 My personal healing will ever be the most convincing evidence of our subconscious powers. Nearly eight years ago I solved a near death experience by using the healing power of my subconscious mind which created me, and still maintains and governs all my vital functions. And there is more! At the age of 43 I became a mother, this alone is not very unusual as many woman these day’s consciously choose to have children at a later stage in life.

Know thyself. These words were inscribed in the vestibule of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. For centuries, petitioners seeking advice from the oracle at Delphi would view the inscription. Philosophers throughout the ages offered this same advice to their students. These words are as valuable today as they were almost three thousand years earlier. Part of knowing yourself is understanding your beliefs. The difficulty is that most beliefs are subconscious. They have been accepted without ever having been critically examined.

Regain Your Inner Core By Working On Core Issues The concept of family goes back to the beginning of time. It’s the traditional social system that shapes our inter-personal dynamics and provides the working model for the story we create about ourselves. Of course, we’ve all been children at one time, and have all had our own child-rearing experience. Our parents and caregivers were the figures that have imparted their beliefs that for the children became internalized as e

Public Speaking! Oh you monstrous demon the sends men and women to their own personal hell; how shall we smote thee! Smokers know that they have a 50/50 chance of dying a horrible death from doing it yet fearlessly light up. Some people drink and drive, knowing yet again that the chances of getting into an accident is greatly increased, yet there is no fear there either. But ask them to give a speech and for some, the fear of public speaking reduces them to a quivering cornered mouse.

~ sometimes erratic and sometimes brilliant. " Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices, but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence and fulfills the duty to express the results of his thought in clear form." ~ Albert Einstein The name Albert Einstein has become synonymous with genius. The scientific definitions of our modern age ~ from the Bomb to space travel, electronics and quantum physics ~ all reflect his amazing radical thinking.

I have managed several employees over the years and I'm always surprised with the amount struggling with change and the fear to transform particular areas of their job description or to even grasp new information. The first week of one job in particular, I recall watching the staff to learn, specially, how they worked as a team and on their own. The same week, a few had come to me for advice. They asked with the assumptio I would merely give the answer and they could simply be on their way. As a manager, that was not how I functioned.

Gratitude is the best attitude. ~Author Unknownr If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily. ~Gerald Good There's a recession going on for any of those who have found themselves living in America for the past several years. Heck, everyone knows there's a recession going on in several countries in the world.

So you want to become Self realized, you want to come to know yourself, and although you have studied much and have given much thought to what you have read, you still feel that you are somehow blocked from taking that final step back into the Self, to experience the reality of the elusive ‘I’. You may ask; ‘Why can I not form a clear perception of what I am referring to when I use the word ‘I’ or speak of ‘the Self’, the ‘me’ that is doing the thinking, the observing, the co

It appears that in order to teach us, writers use vehicles that are extreme. Here the vehicle used to teach us the lesson of hope is foreclosure. The losing of property, a home is a metaphor for losing the American dream. Of course, we have all herd of the phrase “Dream home,” and “Cute little house with a white picket fence,” conjuring images of the perfect life with mom and dad, 3.2 children “and two cats in the yard; now everything is easy ‘cause of you” (“Our House” by CSN&Y). In film, writers teach us to keep our dreams and to fight against the odds.

I was making my routine jaunt around the park near where I live and was observing the lush foliage that surrounded me. It made me ponder something…do others perceive the trees as I see them? Yes, our eyes have basically the same components that produce our vision: the retina, cornea, lens, iris and pupil. These components allow us to depict the greens of the leaves, the browns of the bark, the colors of the flowers…but on a different level…on an emotional level, do we perceive things the same way?

Then why do you suppose my bank balance is not showing it? As a young girl I dreamt of all those wonderful things like living in the lap of luxury and being filthy rich. Although, as I a child I lived a meager existence, I had an insatiable desire to have all that I could ever have imagined. ...

When you see the colour red, do you think ‘Danger danger Will Robinson’, or do you think about love, passion and all the good stuff in between? Either response would be appropriate – red is a power colour that is related to the base chakra – the energy centre that gives us a sense of grounding, of security, of loving our path in life, and of course, sex.

We all hold our dreams in our hearts like a pit which carries fire in it. Our dreams, our goals can be very unique, it can be different, it can be crazy and it may seem impossible and may leave people thinking that you’ve gone mad or so but it’s what our heart truly wants. Hence, we should go after it without doubt or fear. It’s not the destination that matters for the lessons that we learn during the journey is far more valuable. I would like to state clearly that this

Detaching very important in order to allow the good into your life. In the past, my ego had to know how things were going to work out in situations I was in. It was important that things had to be a certain way, in a certain time. Despite knowing better, it took a while to do better. It is like beating your head against the wall and getting a concussion yet you keep doing it. When I started to attend a church that taught this philosophy of letting go, it became clear to me that I better change my thinking because the Universe wasn't going to change its policy on letting go!

What is spirituality? This is a koan in itself because spirituality is beyond the intellect. So anything that can be said in words about what is spirituality is going to miss it. Still, we can point to what is spirituality. And spirituality is this very moment. You do not need to leave this moment to find spirituality, because if you do this, you will miss it. To realize what is spirituality, notice what is here beyond your thinking. Do not allow thinking to define for you what is here in this moment, rather notice what is here beyond thinking.

Engaged leadership requires a high degree of self-awareness. Leaders who learn that the way they are being impacts every single interaction, conversation and relationship are ahead of the game. It may sound obvious, but it is the first step towards truly engaged leadership. Being The first principle of “Step Up Now: 21 Powerful Principles for People Who Influence Others” outlines the importance of Be. Know. Do. Being precedes knowing or doing. Leaders often act as if the op

I had the good fortune to spend time with Swami Satchidananda several years ago during my work in Citizen Diplomacy during the Cold War. I directed a non-project organization, Projects for Planetary Peace, and Swamiji was on our Board of Directions. He went on one of our trips to the Soviet ...

I grew up with severe asthma and allergies and so underwent traditional allopathic skin testing several times. Since I had remembered past lives since early childhood, especially the deaths and tortures, I figured I was being tortured once again, lying there as they took a sharp object, scratched my skin and put possible allergens on the wounds. These allergy tests may be effective but they were very painful and the reactions uncomfortable. Imagine my delight when I learned another way, a painless method that is free, portable and one you can do in the comfort of your own home!

Opinions of others or self; Which matters more to you ? Self or Wealth; Which is more precious ? He who is attached to things will suffer much. He who holds on will experience heavy losses. A contented person is never disappointed. He who knows when to stop will stay forever safe. In this verse of the Tao Tee Ching, the 2,500 year old book of oriental wisdom you are being asked to consider how you look at life. Are you reacting to the outer things of life like wealth, fame or what people think of you ? Or are we satisfied with h

I watched The Secret several years ago, and (like so many of you) immediately wanted to learn more about the Law of Attraction. I was fired up and inspired knowing that we have the power to create our ideal lives simply by changing our thoughts. Wow. Amazing. An aha moment for sure. I immediately began focusing on my thoughts and being more aware of whether they were the types of thoughts that I wanted to be having. Would I be thinking these thoughts in my ideal life? And if not, I would concentrate on creating them – happy, positive, loving, inspired thoughts.

It has only been relatively recently that attraction movies and visualization tools have been developed and are having a marked impact in the lives of many people. The general population however is not aware of what they are or how they function. Like any new technology there is often some reserve or reluctance to adopt it until it is more widely known and recognized by the people. So what are attraction movies and visualization tools and what is it that they really do? Fund

If if told you that bloozles were on sale now at 80% off, would that get you excited? Probably not, since you don't know what a bloozle is. (of course it's just a word that I made up)
