Spiritual Growth Articles

Qigong meditation is an ancient practice that is being proven by modern science to reduce stress, improve health, balance emotions, and focus your mind. It is a truly holistic form of self-improvement and spiritual growth. Kenneth Cohen translates qigong as “working with life energy, ...

We talk about unconditional love as if it were an everyday occurrence, but the reality is that very few of us will ever experience it this life time, which is a real shame. Spiritual growth teaches us to love each other and the planet in an all-encompassing way with no recourse to judgment or criticism, and although we do our best with our intentions, we often fall short.

Our sense of smell ~ An exercise in gratitude and awareness connected to our spirituality and commitment to personal growth what are the correlations? I was fascinated by our conversation this morning in our Masterheart class and as such am taking the liberty of sharing some additional thoughts for contemplation and reflection and an invitation to consider or ponder as you see fit. How is our sense of smell connected to gratitude, awareness and judgement with respect to how we’re willing to stretch develop and grow ourselves at a personal level related to our level of humanity.r

When a caterpillar approaches its time of transformation, it begins to eat ravenously, consuming everything in sight. The caterpillar outgrows its own skin many times, until it is too bloated to move. It turns its world on its head as it attaches itself upside-down to a branch and forms a chrysalis. This gentle encasing limits its freedom and protects it during the duration of the metamorphosis.

"Most people are so completely identified with the voice in the head - the incessant stream of involuntary and compulsive thinking and the emotions that accompany it - that we may describe them as being possessed by their mind. As long as you are completely unaware of this, you take the thinker to be who you are.” Eckhart Tolle Our thoughts control what happens to us. Where have you heard that before? From the oft-maligned The Secret to the resurgence of cognitive behaviour

The 26,000 year Tzolkin recycles in 2012. There are some personal connections to that within a past life regressio I did in 1989. I’ve been open to these things but always had a skeptical eye open just to keep observant and a bit cautious of getting lost in it all. After all, we do live in the here and now, although there are some curious connections to our soul path at least. If you are open to those kinds of things, that is. For a time I studied with a group that used William Swygaard's methods for regression into past lives.

When was the last time that you received love letters that get you all the way? Last Valentine’s or maybe the year after that? When I say “love letter” I am talking about a hand written one and not one of those e-greeting cards or an email. Let us be honest here, emails and e-greeting cards are great but somehow nothing can beat receiving a letter – a real, traditional, honest to goodness hand written love letter. Somehow, the electronic style of writing a love letter just is not as personal and as heartfelt of the old school, pen written love letter. Writing away

How often do we think our problems are caused by others. “If I could only stop them from acting that way, everything would be fine.” At times, it’s easy to put our attention on changing others, rather than looking within to see what the other person triggered in us. Or, what in us has attracted ...

Our intuition guides us to what is best for us. I believe in this truth just as I believe in God who loves us unconditionally. Our intuition is the still small voice of Goddess. Intuition guides us to what is best for us. In other words, God has our back and wants us to be happy. In order to access this voice of the Divine we need to quiet the mind through meditation so that we can listen within. What bubbles to the surface is our intuition. And our intuition guides us to the highest and best intention for us. What is Intuition?

We all have the ability to create any emotion we want to experience at the flick of a switch. Imagine someone brings you a big, juicy lime. That person cuts into it, and the lime juice squirts onto you. He gives you a piece, and as you bite into it your face puckers as you taste the sour juices. Now, notice that your tongue feels tingly or is salivating. Just thinking about limes triggers a wire in your brain that tells your tongue to prepare for the lime by producing the saliva that is needed to break down the powerful acids. Our emotional brain wiring works in the same way.

November has been a challenging month. Each of us, including Mother Earth, is going through a process known as Ascension. We are increasing the vibratory rate of our energy field in order to match the higher frequencies of Spirit. To put it in simpler terms, think of a radio dial. We are in the process of changing stations from the lower end of the radio dial to the higher frequencies. Since Spirit communicates on a higher wave length, your new attunement will improve your ab

Belinda: Welcome Rabbi Finley. Thank you for joining me today. In my last article, I used the Passover theme of leaving our personal Mitzrayim (Egypt, constriction, slavery to bad habits, etc.) and making the transition into freedom. How do you define the freedom that we’re going toward? Rabbi Finley: What I try to do is define what I mean by an actualized or fulfilled life. I’ve broken that down into several elements: 1. The ability to love and be loved well. 2. To be able

Shakespeare is known for the quote, “To thine own self be true,” from his play Hamlet. People throughout history have yearned for the knowledge of how to be true to the Real Self. When children are young, they seem very free in their expression. A child’s laughter is one of the most beautiful sounds: full, joyous, and resonant. Unfortunately, many of us learn to squelch that natural laughter, to subdue our energy, or to be “seen and not heard,” so that by the time we are adults we have difficulty knowing who we are.

Co-create in the world knowing that you are a Divine being of love and light. Our birthright is to manifest our spirit through our words, actions and our work in the world - our service to humanity. In order to co-create in the world we need to surrender to God. When we let go and let God our ego is out of the way. Spirit is then in charge of our life and our affairs.

Our sexual energy is our spiritual energy. It is part of the soul’s ‘Serpent Power’ that encompasses the totality of Creation, the sacred force that can be used at one level for the creation of a human being, at another level for creativity in the arts and sciences, in business, and in human relations, and at the highest level for the re-creation – the rebirth – of a human soul.

The psychic job is to help you get answers to things that are not accessible to you easily. The psychic main purpose is to help you, if you can trust in yourself that you have done the right job in screening the psychic so you can get the most out of the reading then you have to let go and trust in yourself that is what you need to hear at this moment. Expectation If you go with too much of an expectation you may be disappointed because you are not allowing yourself to be open to get the right answers only the ones that agreeable to you.

We are encountering various immature or spiritually unconscious beings all the time. They can be little children, animals or even grown up people with mental or emotional issues. Although most of the time these interactions can be lovely and amusing, they can also turn out to be extremely challenging, as these beings are ignorant and don’t care much about our expectations or socially suitable behavior.

It was one good day in October 2004. I had been living in the UK for quite a few years; I had been married and divorced and, as life has it, after the storm comes the calm… after having arrived at the conclusion that I was better off without a man in my life… he arrived. He didn’t look like anything I was looking for but he was everything I ever wished for.

What is the difference between a routine and a rut? Is the series of actions that you are currently undertaking a routine or a rut? There is something in all of us that seeks to organize our time. For some of us, that organization is necessary to move us through a busy and demanding schedule. For others, the organization serves more as an assurance that time is actually moving rather than standing still. Organization is a way of marking time. But have you organized your tim

The direct voice mediumship of Leslie Flint is a triple miracle. It is a miracle enough that any messages from the afterlife came through at all. The second miracle is that the length and quality of communication is the greatest and highest I have ever heard in the history of mediumship. The third miracle is that other great souls such as Dr. Marshall, John Whitehead (Mickey), etc. managed to help bring through souls from rather high planes of consciousness who would not otherwise have been able to come through at all such as Rabindranath Tagore, St. Matthew, and Mahatma Gandhi.

I remember a lady who asked me to help her with a situation regarding psychic attack. In this instance it was particularly unpleasant. The lady worked in a hospital where there was a nurse who was familiar with Voodoo magic. She was using it on patients and staff, terrifying all with whom she came into contact. Eventually, the woman had been found out. The lady who came to me asking for help had been volunteered to fire this woman. Her colleagues had been offering her everything, from prayer to rosary beads in order to help her.

Angels are messengers from the celestial realms and they bring their messages of joy, peace, comfort, love and Divine guidance to us when we need them most. Angels can be found everywhere. In some religions they are very highly respected. They are depicted in churches, works of art, landscape features (the Angel of the North), statues, Christmas cards, Christmas decorations, stories, films, television programs, and block buster, best- selling books.

It was a month before All Hallows Eve. We were in a Jr. College in Boston. A group of friends were sitting around our dorm room. It happened to be in an old apartment building on Beacon Street. It was the late 60's. We started telling ghost stories one by one. All of a sudden we all simultaneously heard a woman scream in our heads. This was to set the stage for the events to follow.

The Indigo Seer:nA Perspective on ClairvoyancennnClairvoyance – the ability to see spirit – results when judgments, imprints, denials and various traumas associated with the Indigo chakra or “Third Eye” have been resolved. All of us are equipped and therefore capable of seeing spirit. Our ability to make effective use of this beneficial tool depends on how much effort we are willing to put into clearing this chakra. Clairvoyance is not a gift divinely bestowed upon a

“There are many health benefits to eating Dandelions Greens and the roots, and the greens are great in salads, soups, and stews. And the greens also help to detox the liver, are very important for healing diabetes, for boosting good bacteria in our gut, for healing cancer, and creating health and vitality.” Dandelion Greens also called Taraxacum officinale grows all over the world and have been used as food and for healing for hundreds of years.

It is a wonderful thing to stand where you are - and to know that you are either allowing joy into your life or that you are feeling the desire for something more deeply fulfilling. Either one is a sign that your inner guidance is working to show you the way to go. The guidance of intuition starts out very subtly - offering us opportunities to make healthy shifts along the way. Sometimes we rationalize with ourselves to go one way or another but when we go the wrong way, negative key indicators become increasingly more apparent.

After 17 seconds of holding a thought, the Law of Attraction is activated. You then begin attracting the essence of what you are thinking about. This is the starting point of your emotional grid. If you hold that thought for at least 68 seconds, there will be enough momentum to create a substantial grid to attract other, specific thoughts that merge with your beginning point of attraction.

In most cases we try to communicate with ghosts in the same way that we would talk to a neighbor. Many of us have learned this from Hollywood movies and television shows. Characters speak with ghosts in the same way that you would speak to a friend: with verbal communication. You will often hear phrases like: 'Give me a sign!' or 'Who are you?' or 'What do you want from me?'

Everything in our universe makes perfect sense. The reason that it all makes sense is that the laws of the universe control all that exist. The same laws that govern the physical universe also govern the spiritual universe as well. As spiritual entities, we exist simultaneously in two universes; the physical universe and the non-physical universe of emotion, mind, consciousness, perception and experience. Welcome to Psycanics. Psycanics is the study of the soul, the physics

In Traditional Chinese Medicine energy flows through the body. And everything within the body is mirrored in other parts of the body. But does it stop there? Or does mirroring manifest out into the Universe? And what about celestial event?

Try journaling!nnI have been journaling for two years now, and it’s like having a special friend. Someone who’s always there to listen.

At the risk of appearing really off the wall, I'd like to express some considerations that you may share as well. It has been several decades since I first started inquiring deeper within the constructs of reality, seeking congruence of belief systems and daily living. I’ve shucked the belief systems in favor of ‘experience systems’ that offer more congruence. As you will soon see, I have a penchant for going deep, but the reality is in my daily living and business dealings I introduce the very grounded and practical aspects of collaboration, communication and conversation.

If you answer yes to any of these ten questions, you may be rna victim of low self-esteem... 1. Are you afraid to take risks? 2. Do you usually anticipate the worst in any given situation and fear the outcome? 3. Do you simply fear the unknown? 4. Do you worry so much about what others think of you that you cannot perform? 5. Do you constantly wonder if other people are talking about you? 6. Do you seem to be more sensitive to negative feedback than other people are? 7. Do you fear criticism? 8. Is your life limited to a very small circle of people?

What are Guided Imagery Scripts?

The body--our container, our vehicle, our means of communication and of transportation. The majority of the time most of us think of ourselves in terms of our bodies. How could we not? It’s what we see when we look in the mirror, it’s what other people see when they look at us and talk to us. It’s what our friends and lovers feel when they touch us, to hug us or make love to us. When we are sick it is particularly easy to focus on ourselves as bodies. The discomfort continuously draws our focus. It’s as if the body is crying out—look at me, pay attention, something wrong here!

Do you have a dream or vision that God has given you and you are uncertain about how to get there? Are you in transition, thus far the directions have been clear, but now the vision is unclear? Is your vision unclear?

There was a time in my life when I felt I had lost my joy. I felt miserable. I didn’t want to do anything or be around anybody. But slowly and surely, my joy returned as I began to rest more on the Lord. My strength returned too. Nehemiah 8:10 says this: “…for the joy of the LORD is your/(my) strength.” This is such a great verse for any Christian to know whether young or old. Try this fun Sunday School lesson from the Bible to help your kids learn this great Scripture by heart. It’s called “Popping for Joy!” Here’s what you do:

I'll be honest with you.nnI'm not the best person to write about thisbecause I'm not an expert on this topic.nnBut, I have to write about it somehow becauseI'm currently practicing it and it seems to bevery powerful so far.nnThere are many self-improvement strategiesthat use the sub-conscious mind.

Over the past several weeks I've received dozens of email solicitations for books, CDs and videos that promise to reveal newly discovered techniques to improve my life. These emails promise a wide variety of benefits: how to get rich, lose weight, meet the woman of my dreams and buy a million dollar mansion with no money down. In some cases the salesman will throw in a "Ginzu knife" or "pocket fisherman" if I order immediately!

Why do people choose to struggle? That question has been asked a million times, and still the answer seems to be out of reach for those who cannot even fathom the idea that struggle IS a choice. You will fight, argue, "struggle" with the belief that any experience that causes you to feel "bad" is NOT a choice, for why on earth would you CHOOSE to feel bad--and yet many times when faced with great change in your life, feeling bad is exactly what you'll do--hence, struggle ensues.

1. Understand How People, Events and Activities Influences YOU Energetically Everything we do and everyone we interact with has an energy signature. There are three ways we respond to the energy of the people, events and activities in our life. Usually we are neutral energetically to most activities, circumstances and people so doing something or hanging out with someone often do not change our vibration much either way.

Spiritual growth is a very personal journey. We are spiritual beings in a human body from our first breath to our last. Each time we breathe in, we accept life and all she has to offer us. With each out breath, we release all that we no longer need. As small children, we wonder at nature and the world around us, and we display an enormous sense of excitement about all things new. As we grow, this diminishes as we learn how we are expected to behave.
