The More We Give, the More We Receive

There’s something about giving that frees us. It releases a part of us that has been tucked away, yearning to be exposed and shared with others in ways that add meaning and value to their lives. And in so doing, we also add meaning and value to our own.nnMany of us are generous at heart, but get consumed by our daily hectic schedules and life’s demands. We often forget why we’re really here: “to love one another, as God has loved us.” But when we remember, giving co

A Course in Miracles and Radical Thinking

If you’re not familiar with A Course in Miracles then you should know that the course teaches a radical shift in how we see the world. This isn’t a course in superficial niceness or be good and you’ll go to heaven. This is a course that asks you to radically change your thinking about the world. It asks that you look within for answers and open your mind to spirit. In doing so you learn that the world you see with mortal eyes is in Reality an illusory experience. You come to experience that in Truth you are love.

In Service to Life and Something Bigger tha Yourself

I just finished watching a video of Julia Butterfly speaking about her life's journey and awakening to love. I assume many of you who are reading this know of her and maybe have even heard her speak. She was for me profoundly inspirational but not in the usual way. She invited her audience to take a look at their own lives and to see what they were passionate about and to discover how they, how I could play bigger than we/I am currently doing.

You Get the First Fruits – A Fun Bible Object Lesson for Your Kids

Here’s what you do: The object you will use for this lesson will be a batch of homemade cookies. Ask the following questions to help stimulate discussion: 1. What am I holding?

The World Of Infinite Potentiality

Long, long ago, God/Goddess created a lovely world and when they thought about what the soul purpose of the world would be, they decided that it would become a school where highly evolved beings from all over Creation could come to learn how to love, trust and accept themselves, others and Spirit unconditionally. One of the problems was that each of these beings knew so deeply in their core essence that they were an aspect of the consciousness of God/Goddess that how could they even see themselves as existing apart from God/Goddess.

Learning To Read Auras

Ever Wonder About The Colors In A Rainbow? Why Do We See What We See? The truth is we are made up of energy. This is not new to most people who have been working with others through several modalities in the healing sector. The proof, for all those who are scientifically inclined, can turn their attention to Einstein's Theory, Quantum Physics, and Kirlian Photography! I also want to add paranormal researchers use thermal imaging. It is an instrument that picks up heat signatures in an environment when there is an energy form present that a naked eye cannot see.

God’s Word Has Rhythm: Two Fun Bible Memory Verse Activities for Your Preschoolers

I don’t know about you, but I love putting Bible verses to music and sometimes I like putting a Scripture to a catchy rhythm. I think Psalm 33:4 lends itself nicely to a good strong drumbeat. In fact, when I read this verse I pictured my little ones “drumming” on their knees with their hands while putting this verse to memory. Here is the rhythmic verse I came up with: For the <u>word</u> of the <u>Lord</u> is <u>right</u> and <u>true</u> He is <u>faith</u> ful in <u>all</u> He <u>does</u> Pa <u>rum</u> pum pumr Pa <u>rum</u> pum pumr Pa <u>rum</u> pum <U>pum</u> pum<U> pum</u>

Who Are You?

When I ask people the question “Who are you?” I’m usually greeted with silence. People are not sure; in fact, some have never even stopped to think about it. Can you imagine living all your life without knowing who you really are? Once people recover from the initial surprise of the question they respond with all kinds of definitions, most of which are based on their character or abilities. “I am Anna, I am a teacher, I am a mother, I am good-natured, I am artistic, I

What Type Of Relationship Do You Have With Money?

I have read hundreds and hundreds of books about personal finances, from the conventional world of financial planning, to the trendy how-to-get-rich programs to the New Age gurus of money. But here’s what’s missing from nearly all of them: VERY FEW of them even mention about our relationship with money. Whether you’re aware of it now or not, you have a personal relationship with money: a complex combination of your beliefs, attitudes, energy, history and fears about money AND the healthier your relationship with money is, the more money, success and financial freedom you enjoy.

Attachment to Stuff Can Only Weigh You Down

Among most people there is a strong attachment to owning things. The United States has especially become a consumption-based society, one in which many have actually come to believe that what you own is who you are. This same attitude is steadily being exported to second and third world countries as well. Please don't misunderstand me here. There is nothing wrong at all with people buying material goods (i.e., nonessential items) when they feel like doing so – I most certainly do.

Life's Purpose (Angel Message)

Many people spend their whole lives searching for their life's purpose. They "search" because subconsciously there is a question that remains unanswered, and that questions is "what am I here to do"? It is a question that remains largely unanswered for many, because in asking it they get caught up in "the doing", when the answer to that question has always been in "the being"...the being of YOU. We Angels have said this many times before, but sometimes things have to be said many times in order for understanding to take place.

It's impossible to appreciate your life if you spend most of your time regretting the past and fretting the future.

If you can stop wrestling with your mind and learn to trust your true self, you will be rewarded. A natural state of peace is easily available to you any time you choose to accept it.

Why giving away 10% of your income will make you richer

Tithing is not a new concept. Nearly every religion in the world practices it. Yet it can be a controversial subject for some people.

Personal Transformation: The Greatest Gift You Can Give To Yourself

"Personal transformation is the greatest gift you can give to yourself and to the world, because ultimately you are giving the gift of you in your highest and most fully developed form." What we care about-our hopes, dreams, values, and aspirations - are often buried deep in the unconscious. Most of us were raised in a society that supports making deals with ourselves and others in order to survive. We trade what we care about in order to get what we perceive that we need on a survival level. Or we trade what we care about for what we are told we are supposed to want.

Energy and Influences For February 2012

This month requires a certain circulation of energy so that things don’t get stuck. There could be a tendency for you to become mired in the quicksand of the instinctive center, afraid to move forward, sideways or backwards. You could be like a deer in headlights, frozen in fear and not knowing where to turn so you just dig in, close your eyes, and hope it will go away. It won’t. Not this month. In a river if you get caught in an eddy, you have to paddle backwards upstrea

Creativity - Let Go and Let it Flow!

Creativity – the ability to make, cause to be, become or bring into existence. We all have this ability. It’s not just for writers, artists, musicians and other “creative types.” It doesn’t happen only when you write a poem or paint a picture. Creativity happens anytime you combine ideas in a new way or find a new use for an old or existing idea. It happens when you write a report, a proposal or even a letter. But where does creativity come from? How do you make it happen? As a composer, teacher and performer of music, I know that you must set aside time to be creative.

The Christ Consciousness and the Twelve Holy Days of Christmas

It has been an honor for me to participate in the 12 Holy Days of Christmas, a very special time of year where the veil is lifted between the two worlds. These worlds are really one with angels, teachers, and the Christ all awaiting our desire to know the truth of their existence. The concept of the Christ has been hidden in dogma and man's law. I believe the Christ to be part of the divine Trinity: Father, Son or Daughter (the Christ), and Holy Spirit Mother. The Christ is the "love of God made manifest." The Christ is not a person but an "office" or "position" we all attain to.

Etiquette: A fast disappearing societal value

Is civilization a curse or blessing? Trends, fads, new things and new ways come and go. Some of these actually leave indelible marks on the society, which are either damaging or perfecting. What happened to the good values of the past that were built on good intentions and sweat of founding parents? Etiquette is the guiding light of the society. Manners, decorum, and virtues are all words that describe positive character. What happened to appreciation, gratitude, truthfulness, kindness, trust and many more?

“Why Unconditional Love is Important”

It's very easy to love somebody when they are loving, kind, and good-natured. In some ways we see a reflection of ourselves, and thus want to help that person in any way, shape, and form that we can. When they smile it brightens our day, and when they are sad we want to make them happy again. We go out of our way to do things that will make a difference in their life. And we are even willing to sacrifice a little bit of our own comforts in order to make them happy. But what about those who are very difficult to love?

***Why do Healers and Spiritual People Struggle so Much with Money?

I find it very ironic that so many people I know on the spiritual path often struggle so much with money. I feel in many ways that it is far more spiritual to be abundant than to be struggling financially. When Jesus said the Kingdom of GOD is within us what I feel he meant is that our inner divinity “ what I call the highest level aspect of our monad “ is totally abundant.
