Not that long ago there was a very highly paid television executive that was not happy with her work. Many people in her family where spiritual healers of one sort or another and she had this longing inside to possibly make a change. Here is her true story.

“10% of Our Children Have This Behavioral Challenge” There is a new addictive behavior that has taken over our teenagers and young people. They become withdrawn, separate themselves from everyone, they quit all their social activities and they become secretive. And in some instances, they stop taking showers and even stop doing their homework. What’s this new addictive behavior “Gaming”. This addictive behavior afflicts 8 to 10 percent of young people in the US.

We have lots of scientific studies showing that any kind of stress… be it about the here-and-now or our past creates inflammation and that inflammation causes disease.

It’s one thing to talk about any subject no matter if it’s mountain climbing or surfing. And it’s a whole different story if we take action and actually do what we talk about… and that’s even true with spiritual practice. And if we take action and do our spiritual practice it’s important to see progress. Are you seeing spiritual progress as you do your spiritual practice? A Person Who is Very Stressed

It does no good to try to reason with someone who has a closed mind. Those who are full of anger, hatred, and greed are not willing to listen. And thus all the gurus and saints are saying… “Just Pray” for everyone has their mind made up and they will not listen. And so it is, that we are to pray for humanity. Pray for those who are suffering and also pray for those who are causing the suffering.

When giving service, it’s of utmost importance to remember the one we see in the mirror. Because helping others without helping ourselves leaves us feeling lifeless. But when we help ourselves and others we have a great life. What is Service?

When we are weak we do a great injustice to our guiding light within. But when we are full of strength we imbue our spirit with great power. Mental, physical, and spiritual strength are all vital and essential for life. Faith is the precursor to all three, and all three come from the heart. We have lines of energy that spring forth from the heart that creates mental, physical, and spiritual strength to every part of the body. Have confidence in yourself— for confidence is the foundation for all strength.

With Devotion, We become Onern“Devotion means to approach nearer and nearer to the one you are devoted to”, says the Enlightened One, and He further elaborates, “It is said to be devotion only if you are going closer to the one you are devoted to. And the day, ‘the devotee’ and ‘the one he is devoted to’ come so close that they actually become one, the objective is said to have been accomplished!!! There remains no difference between the two thereafter. Both bec

I believe that music and art is the language of God's heart and when we abide in Him, He communicates with our heart through music and song, revealing Himself to us and giving us revelations of His love and identity. In turn, we communicate to His heart our adoration and awe of who He is and all that is in Him. This is my definition of prophetic worship. As words connect with our minds, music connects with our heart. Music is able to convey a message which only our heart can

Upon my urging Ricardo Madrigal took a 10 day FREE Vipassana Meditation Retreat. Ricardo was longing for a deeper spiritual understanding of himself and wanted to kick start his meditation process. Ricardo said the retreat was not easy, you have hours upon hours of meditation practice everyday… and it’s amazing that all the food and lodging is FREE. But now I feel “CALM” and have a greater sense of “PEACE” within. He also said he learned to have patience which is something he didn’t have before.

We frequently hear about the practice of ‘karma yoga’ in connection with feeding people, or providing medical care and support. These and other ‘good works’ are clearly beneficial to the social body and to the numerous individuals who receive real and substantial benefits from them. These functions, in and of themselves, however, do not constitute ‘karma yoga’ in the truest sense of the word.

When the seeker initially passes the limits imposed by the body-life-mind complex and the ego personality, the experience can be one that is totally disorienting, raising fear and a shrinking back within the limits of the outer being. This is the experience of the boundary where the ego must lose its definition as the consciousness ascends into a wideness and power far beyond that of the individual personality.

H - Is for “How We Can Make Changes in the World” and bring about a good outcome in all endeavors. O - Is for “Opening Up to Our Intuition” and allowing good to flow through us.

February is regarded by many as “The Month of Love.” In February, we love our former presidents, Martin Luther King, Jr., and one another on Valentine’s Day. And yet the reality in this nation is that about 50% of all first marriages, 63% of all second marriages, and about 72% of third or more marriages end in divorce.nn As a Marriage Coach for over 25 years, I’m really not surprised that more married people aren’t “feeling the love.” Most people want to stay in

One of the big issues that all people face is dealing with cravings, habits and addictions and their effects in their lives. The mechanism at work here is not based on conscious decision-making, but on impulses, feelings and pulls that occur subconsciously, whether in the mind, the vital being, or the body. Certain habits may begin with a mental or vital acceptance, particularly as a result of peer pressure or tradition. Thus, many begin to utilize tobacco or alcohol, or other ‘recreational drugs’ as a result of the pressure from outside.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna inquires how he can know an enlightened individual, whether by his talk, or the way he acts, or by some other exte al sign. Sri Krishna replies that it is not through exte al actions or signs that one can recognise the realised souls. The truth lies in their inner attitude and experience. Similarly, an outward show of spiritual humility, or an outward show of apparent egoism may not reflect the inward reality of the person. One must understand the force behind the outer activity to understand its significance.

In today’s age of social media, the overwhelming information about people’s lifestyle choices, their spending habits, their material world, etc. are becoming increasingly accessible by a common man. Even those who live more of an offline life, find ways to keep themselves updated about how people around them are living their life. One common side-effect of this information, unfortunately, is comparison. But one must know that comparison almost always kills joy. rnHow? Let

Everyone experiences the tug of desire. We observe something and suddenly we want to have it. We experience something pleasant and we want to have it happen once again. Sometimes we feel a sudden urge for something after being exposed to a commercial message. At other times we can simply be in a room where people are engaged in exercising the impulse of desire of various sorts and we find that the vibration of desire wells up within us. This is considered to be a normal part of life, so most people do not even pay attention to the process or the result.

“This is a True Story of the Power of Love” This is a true story of a policeman having a massive heart attack and being rushed to the emergency room and a miracle taking place.

When an individual begins the spiritual quest, there can be considerable confusion about different directions, objectives and methods of attainment. In many cases, divergent goals are lumped together, while in other instances, there can be confusion about the sequence of the steps. Sri Aurobindo has provided an overview and a roadmap that can aid the seeker in understanding and clarifying these points.

The law of karma is fairly simple, yet, it becomes difficult to digest. It governs every aspect of our lives, yet it eludes our understanding in difficult circumstances. How does karma work, and while karma plays its role, how are we supposed to respond to it, so that we get that desired peace of mind - are questions that naturally arise in mind then. But when we understand this science rightly and perfectly, it no longer seems difficult; and then it is not only the present s

So much has been said and written about relationships between men and women, that it would seem impossible to add anything new to the subject. But the paradox is - no matter how much you read or consult specialists in this area, you can never find the answer to the main question - why do men and women always compete with each other? Why can't creatures, so obviously meant to be "two halves of one whole," come to mutual understanding and happiness? n nAny man engaged in a rela

In order for any force or action to affect an individual, there must be something that links them together, attracting the energy that is exte al to the receiving station nexus of the individual body-life-mind complex. For purely material forces,, obviously, this connection is existence in the material world. Thus, any embodied individual can be impacted by severe weather or earthquakes or volcanos if they are within the area of the activity. The more subtle forces, those of the vital or mental realms, can impact an individual from a further distance.

How does it work? Traditionally, it is taught that karma is simply the law of cause and effect, the fruits of past actions and little more is said about its mechanism and workings than that. Subsequently, much misunderstanding and vagueness has arisen and continues to be perpetuated.nnIt seems very difficult for us to free ourselves of the idea of karma as a cosmic justice system. In fact, karma has nothing to do with justice and retribution and does not at all work like this

We are trained to appreciate exte al beauty of form, whether in life or in art. This training internalizes cultural preferences. Thus, the ideal of beauty changes depending on which culture is providing the cultural background and which time-frame encompasses the judgment term. Based on whatever our frame is for the judgment, we determine if something is beautiful or not. This is all, however, based on the ego-standpoint and does not take into account the divine standpoint. Where we do not observe beauty, the divine standpoint may see the perfection of beauty.

A man in his 30's would sit alone and meditate and events from the past would come up. He would see his father building his tree house a place where he could escape his parents fighting. And he would also see his mother come into his room and spray pour water on him to wake him up every single morning and he would dwell on this for a long time.

“This is Super Important for Great Health”

Most people live a life without inward reflectoin, reacting to circumstances, conditioned by habits developed through millennia, trained responses and built up expectations. Their lives are fixated on whatever is presented to them at the moment, and they lose any sense of self-awareness in this reactive state. The organising principle is the ego-personality and its relations to the world, its perceived needs, its past line of development and its future expectations. For many, this is a state of sleepwalking through life, a state of absorption in the outer life.

What is it that makes one an established, a powerful or the most influential person in any field?rnSome say it is hard work while some say it is sheer dedication; for few it is sacrifice that leads one there and few others believe it is talent, many attribute it to one’s good-luck and many people give it the name of destiny or hold karma responsible! So what is it actually? rnDOES SOMETHING LIKE JUSTICE OR KARMA EXIST? rnLet’s understand… The law of karma suggests, ‘w

There are two different ways that we can have experiences outside of our flesh and blood body. One is to be connected to our body and have our consciousness travel to other realms. The other is to have our soul travel to other realms… while our body is still back at home. Anyone can soul travel… it’s very simple. But soul travel takes practice… but with practice comes the ability to experience spiritual places that are important for our overall spiritual growth. The 12 Step Technique of Soul Travel

When the body is disturbed in its balance, through illness, injury, or other causes, it causes signals to be sent through the nervous system to the brain, broadcasting the perception we perceive as pain. Some people never experience pain, however, due to either a failure of the nervous pathway, or some blocking mechanism within the awareness.

One of the beautiful elements of this human experience is our ability to envision what we want out of life. Often, we put these reveries in regards to objectives that we want to obtain. According to Devi Chitralekha ji katha teachings, we have individual goals, and we also have cumulative goals as the societies and an international area we all stay in. However, we typically observe an apparent variation from what we declare to be our objectives and what we are doing to accom

Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an enlightened being says,rn“There should be a lot of peace between husband and wife. If they hurt each other, then they are not husband and wife at all. That does not happen in true friendship. This (relation between husband and wife) is the highest friendship of all. It (hurting each other) cannot happen here. It should not happen at all between a husband and a wife; it may happen elsewhere. A husband and wife are indeed considered friends. They

We often believe that ‘I will lead a happy life when I get money... or when I get fame... or when I get success...’ rnAnd with this understanding, we keep chasing fame, money, success, etc., in the illusion that it will bring us some kind of lasting fulfilment, some day...But has that ever happened? No! Then what is the secret of a happy life?rnThe answer is - Right understanding! rnWrong understanding leads to unhappiness, whereas Right understanding brings happiness and

The goal of integral yoga is both a shift of standpoint from the individual egoistic view to the divine standpoint, and the transformation of human nature to express the divine force as it manifests new phases of the evolution of consciousness in the world. This involves thus not only a subjective inner change of the mental nature, but a change in the vital and physical expression of the being in interaction with the outer world.

In our modern world, we see the wide dissemination of yoga, primarily as a means of gaining some measure of control over the body, through the postures developed and taught under the rubric of ‘hatha yoga’. In many instances, teachers of hatha yoga have taken the step of teaching their students about breathing techniques, called ‘pranayama’, as well as various forms of meditation, chanting and devotional singing. Hatha yoga is taught as a means to obtain health, fitness, wellness, and flexibility of the body and potentially as a way to address stress, insomnia, and lack of peace in the mind.
