Do you battle with negative thoughts or just can't turn off the dialogue in your head? Do you find yourself having conversations with people who aren't even there? Many people suffer from compulsive and negative thinking, but you can learn to stop these voices in your head by creating a mental gatekeeper. A mental gatekeeper is an imaginary guard created to stop unwanted, worrisome, or crippling thoughts from gaining entrance in your mind and planting an orchard of negativity, depression, or self-doubt.

In the perfect family what you see on the surface rarely reflects what lurks unde eath. There is usually a pink elephant sitting in the living room everyone sees but steps around as if oblivious to it’s presence. Cut and paste smiles come forth for outsiders and the children grow up to be mini me projections of the illusions and lies. Skeletons are hidden in closets never to be revealed, the theory being if I can’t see it or I don’t acknowledge it existed it won’t hurt me. Perfect families also have rules 1. Masks must be worn at all times no one is allowed to see the ‘real’ your

Aluminum is one of the most common heavy metals in our environment. It is found in a wide variety of materials and objects from common household products through to medical vaccinations.

Entitlement is a mindset that is born out of a troubled childhood. It is developed when the individual was so deprived as a child, and they adapted by thinking they were entitled to whatever they could take. The other side of the same coin is that they were completely spoiled as a child and assume that everything is theirs for the taking. Both behaviours generally indicate low self esteem, and often, both behaviours display a lack of understanding about possession or respect for other people's property.

David Wilcock, in his video 2012 Event Horizon: Prophecies and Science of a Golden Age, states that with the unveiling of the information that has been held secret from the masses for thousands of years comes the potential for what is called apotheosis.

It is with great pleasure and honor that I announce the birth of my new baby "Collaboration In Spirit" Meditation CD. For quite some time I felt strongly guided to create a meditatio CD.

Grand Dude and I are training for a fall marathon. We both have all the gadgets, shoes, etc. I have a GPS watch that I absolutely adore. It frees me from marked trails since it'll keep tabs of how far I've run. Last week I was on one of my long runs and about the last mile, the battery suddenly went dead. I thought, it just needs a recharge. So, I plugged it in and charged it right back up. I went on a run the next day and I was only ½ mile into it and the battery died again.

Kindness involves the quality of being warm-hearted, considerate, compassionate and gracious. It is the willingness to do good, kindly acts to help others in need. The source of kindness is an inherent benevolent nature that expresses sympathy and gentleness toward others. It comes naturally from an open heart that is conce ed for the well being of others. We express kindness when we are considerate of others. This is a conscious act where we let go of the ego and express our Divine nature through kindness to another, expecting nothing in return.

Chapter Twenty One - “The Rag Man’s Intuition”

To build spiritual self-confidence there needs to be a true connection to God, the Universe, and the One and Only. Detachment from the Divine leads to a loss of purpose and thus a loss of power. How can anyone be powerful if they don’t know why they came to this plane? It’s not possible. Most people go about their daily lives thinking they have it all, but barely getting things done. That’s not so with people who have Divine power. They are people with purpose who are diligently working to make life better for everyone, and they are filled with great enthusiasm and self-confidence.

Honor Goddess Gaia as the earth goddess that she is, according to the ancient Greek religion. She is a living being who organically loves and nurtures us in so many ways. All that we need to do is receive her loving mother energy that she so freely shares with us.

As the embodiment of the Sacred Feminine she is also known as Mother Earth, Earth Mother and Mother Nature.

Solar Eclipse May 20, 2012 @ 4:47 PST. 7:47 EST in Gemini. Eclipses are about sudden change. The energy of a Solar Eclipse is powerful. It is the coming together of the Solar, masculine energy with the Lunar, feminine energy that builds to a peak. When the two power points are at the same longitude and declination in a Solar Eclipse, the light and energy from the masculine is interrupted. Thus a shadow is formed on Earth known as an eclipse path which affects our life in those areas affected by that shadow.

What's the reason that at times, Love gets hurt, breaks? Why it gets sick, weakens, becoming anguish and desperation? Why? If Love is light that dissipates shadows, if it is warmth that melts ice, water that gives life to the earth and spaces where universes grow. The answer is true, unique and absolute. It is not Love who gets sick. It is not Love who ends. It is the human being who cannot tolerate such greatness, who cannot reach the height and dignity of the ete al, with the exception of a few cases.

When you become trained as a healer, usually you do not get an operating manual about how to create your practice. But I really encourage all healers and people interested in pursuing a healing or teaching or world service role to create a vision statement or business plan or statement of intent.

Listening is the connective tissue in relationships, and as member of a profession that demands listening with a maximum of attention, it was with great interest that I read a research study showing that an engaged listener's brain activity synchs up with the brain of the storyteller. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Psychological Sciences published a study that showed "coupling" in the brain waves of tellers and listeners, some visible evidence of the way our consc

“There are so many scholarly articles about how our attitude is very important for healing. In fact our attitude has everything to do with healing. If we don’t think we will get better, more than likely we will not get better. And if we do think we will get better, we will more than likely get better. Not all prescriptions come from a bottle, there are healing abilities that are built into each and every one of us.”

Many people think that forgiveness is a gift to others and it’s a way of letting people of the hook, however, forgiveness is a gift that you give to yourself. When we are bothered by the actions of others in our past we are filled with anger, hate, resentment and emotional pain. Forgiveness is a way to release all of those negative emotions from your inner body and begin the healing process. The day you choose to forgive, is the day you choose to live in the present by releas

Often in schools and movies and books, you see classroom scenes where students are made to write down on chalk on the blackboard or on paper using pens a statement over and over again often as a punishment like “I will never lie or cheat or steal or whatever…” It even played a prominent part in one of the Harry Potter books and movies. I think the reason this is so common is because people understand at some level how much importance writing down something is to the subconscious mind.

Sometimes it feels like we are speaking a completely different language... even when we think we understand each other! A woman asked me to help her with her horse the other day.

Prayer is one of the oldest pursuits of mankind. We can only assume that it has been with us as long as humans have been around. Prayer was probably right on the tip of the tongue of the first caveman who saw lightning strike a tree. No one ever teaches us how to pray. Most of us fall into it ...

Chapter Nineteen - “The Power of Oneness with the Universe” And the Lama took the stranger and the apprentice on a short diversion to a cave where an High Priest who was a profit himself lived and meditated for long hours. When they approached the cave all of a sudden there was a large explosion that rang forth from the cave. Frighten and worried about the priest the three profits yelled out: “High Priest” are you OK?
