What is it that keeps you from doing what you want to do in life? Not enough time? Stress? Fatigue or low energy? Feeling depressed? Poor health? Not feeling up to the challenge? What is it for you? What if I could show you one thing that would change all of that? Would you be interested?

Most of us identify with our thoughts and assume that we are the mind. However this is not the case; you are not your thinking and you are more than your mind. Thoughts flow through your mind like water down a stream every moment of every day. It has been said that an individual entertains over 60,000 conscious thoughts each day, and even this is probably and understatement. Many people suffer guilt, frustration, and anger toward the self because of the thoughts that flow through their minds.

Letter to a Prisoner contains all of the 365 daily lessons in A Course in Miracles. Also included are Carrie Triffet’s The Crash Course from her book Long Time No See and Gary R. Renard’s text transcription of The End of Reinca ation.

So you want to be a psychic, you have watched every episode of the Medium and are sure you can do what she does because really how hard can it be? And its true for some of you the gift of insight will flow effortlessly, words will spill like a fountain of knowledge from your mouth. But do you really ‘know’ what being a psychic really entails or are you happy to be a sideshow at a fair throwing out one line predictions.

John 14:6 is probably one of the most beloved and memorized Bible verses of all time. It says, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father accept through me.” Simple, but most profound. Help your kids memorize this amazing Scripture by playing this very fun Bible school activity, which I call “Way, Truth, Life Dice.” Here’s what you do:

"First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.” — Epictetus I conduct transformative communication and self-empowerment seminars. These seminars provide an environment for spiritually based personal development. During one part of the training we ask participants what are some tangible, material things for which people strive. Typically the resulting list looks something like this: cars, computers, a big house, an attractive spouse, children, job, jewelry, insurance and vacation time. Then we ask why people strive for such things.

If you are reading this article and have a good idea about what you would like to write about, then you definitely do have what it takes to get published. eBooks are very different to hard back books and are easier to write and much easier to get published. Learning about how to get your eBook completed and online is simple, I have completed one book myself with minimal fuss and stress. I want to say that I am not at all technical, so if I can do it anyone can!

It's easy to get caught up in negative emotions, often without even realizing it. Stop for a moment and check in on how you're feeling. Is there anything bothering you right now? Perhaps it's something to do with your finances, your job, a particular relationship, or your health? If you look beneath the surface, however, you'll discover that it's really none of these things that are troubling you. What's really bothering you are the stories you're telling yourself about your current circumstances.

HOW DO I CHANNEL? The secret to channeling is just to quiet your conscious mind so that you can hear Spirit speaking to you. In meditation and trance we are connected to our Higher Self and to our guides and angels. Channeling is really very easy to do. The most important part of channeling is just believing that you can do it. Many people have blocks to psychic work as they believe that it is "evil". There is nothing that is evil if it is used for good. Source gave us this amazing mind and the ability to tap into Spirit.

image018_0000 Sometimes I help friends and clients create a spiritual practice, during which I will explain every juicy nugget I’ve gathered over the last thirty years; the Spiritual, philosophical, and practical nuts and bolts, and the habits it demands. All in all this can take me about five minutes. Maybe I'm being a bit hard on myself. Let's say fifteen and call it a day.

If you’re a person who has no fear at all, you’re very rare and supremely blessed. Most people and other animals have endless fears of all kinds. Did you know that you can reduce the severity of your fear, and in some cases you can transform it completely?

When asked his favorite instrument, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart responded, “the human voice.” Perhaps Mozart considered the voice as God’s authentic expression, while manmade instruments, although artfully played, provided simply a conduit through which true music traveled. When we think about the complexity of singing – either on the level of a Mozart opera or in the shower – we notice the elements involved.

The other day I saw a friend I hadn’t seen for quite a while. We had a lovely conversation. At a point in our discussion, I remarked that after all these years of spiritual work I felt much more equipped to deal with the fast changing energies that are sweeping the world today. One week before this meeting I also bumped into an old lady friend whom I hadn’t seen for a very long time, and she said to me: “It is shocking how rejuvenated you look”.

Sonia Choquette says in her Oracle Cards (Card no 19 – Survival): “Your Healer Guides […] want you to recognize that the psychic attacks you’ve suffered through the unconscious, negative behaviour of others have left you injured. You’ve been betrayed and energetically wounded […] Stop blaming yourself for what others have done to you”.r

Karma: Is it good or is it bad? You decide!nnWe hear this word so often and have one thing stuck in our mind – it’s either a bad thing or a good thing. The other issue is: do we believe in Karma? Regardless of whether we believe in that word or not, it is still there. Karma plays a big part in our experiences and life lessons. Even if the “word“ Karma does not exist in your personal vocabulary, karma still exists in your life.nnBy human nature, we usually drive oursel

An important concept of many belief systems around the world, the afterlife is certainly an attractive prospect. None of us want to simply accept that the physical death of our bodies will mean the end of our existence. The question whether there really is a life after death has been, and still is, debated hotly whenever the subject is raised. So should we believe in it or not? The fact is, that many people were brought "back" to life through advanced medical technology afte

In the Beginning, there were seven days of Creation. So at the End, there will have to be seven reciprocal days of Destruction. But don’t get worried. “Seven” is an ancient and universal symbol of complete achievement. Thus, we have seven days of creation, seven colors of the spectrum, and seven notes in the musical scale. The Hindus speak of seven chakras, Aristotle speaks of seven spheres, Dante speaks of seven heavens. There are even seven deadly sins.

Who rules your mind? If you are like most people, it probably isn't you. That would require clarity. That would require discipline. Thoughts are powerful. They determine your experience, and they influence the experience of others. You can choose to be clear and to discipline your mind. The question is: Will you be in charge of what you think about today?

Before you Begi Spell casting always seems to be stereotypically shown as some spooky ritual that involves a full moon, black candles, sacrificial ceremonies, and plenty of magical potions, powders and props. This is not an entirely accurate picture. Magical dealings need not be so strict in nature. There are certain items that are needed to cast a spell, but what you use and how you use it are ultimately up to you. In fact, some say that if magic is not personalized, it is

In America, we look at the month of July as the celebratory beginning of our nation’s independence from King George of Great Britain. As children of the world’s then-superpower, we revolted against the constraints of the remote royal family and declared our path, thus forging a life based on freedom of the individual and of each state. When we step back and look at our spiritual choices, we see that our beliefs, long held and practiced, provide a sense of comfort, yet also keep us close in a circle and cycle of ritual and acquiescence.

We all know the battle of the mind vs. the senses… is the tail wagging the dog or did we simply forget to hitch the mule to the cart? In a sense (pardon the pun), it's the popular theme of mind over matter – a very powerful concept akin to the word of God (logos) that created the world. Now let's say you have any one of a number of nasty habits or New Years' resolutions (current or past) that you're keen on disciplining. They could range anywhere from trying to get in a regimented exercise routine, losing weight, stop smoking or eating meat, sexual abstinence or imbibing drugs/alcohol.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 4 decades, chances are you’ve at least heard of Soul Train if not Don Cornelius himself. Just as a quick reminder, Don Cornelius is the creator of the Soul Train show. He went from being a local DJ in Chicago to creating one of the longest running television series ever as well as creating a brand that has outlived him through award shows and cultural influence.

Healing our heart is a multifaceted process that takes patience. The first step is to acknowledge that our heart is broken. Whether it is through the death of a loved one, a relationship ending or a betrayal in a close relationship the broken heart will heal. Once we accept the pain and embrace the experience the process of healing our heart has begun. The natural inclination is to protect the heart by denying that the heart is broken. Anger and blame can easily be a way to mask the pain focusing outside of self.

True freedom means complete responsibility. This is the natural outcome of the truth that life is a mirror for your consciousness. All forms of victim thinking have some reluctance to taking full responsibility for your life along with the need to blame some person thing or circumstance. In that situation you become bound by what you are reacting to and by the thinking behind the reaction.

Divine Feminine Grandma has the nurturing, patient, unconditional love energy of the Divine Mother. It is a deep, abiding love that knows no limitations serving as a foundation of trust, strength and endurance. In many ancient cultures the Divine Feminine Grandma raised the children, not the parents. Grandma personified wisdom, protection and stability for the child. Divine Feminine Grandma also embodies intuition, non-judgement, kindness and playfulness - the exact ingredients needed to raise a balanced conscious being. Qualities of the Sacred Feminine

If you have not previously thought about looking for leads on the internet for your network marketing business, perhaps it is time for you to reconsider. All the traditional teachings about network marketing explain how it is necessary to make a hot list, a warm list and a cold list, and begin to call them all and continue to call until the lists are exhausted, and then to make another list...

Now and then. What a wonderful phrase. Let me show you what I mean. Now, we experience many trials. Then, in Heaven, we will be free from all suffering. Now, we only see God as looking through a glass darkly. Then, we shall see Him face to face. Heaven is definitely something our children should look forward to. It will be worlds apart from the way we know life to be now. In fact, Revelation 21:23 says this: The city has no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it.” Now that’s what I call different!

Spiritual parenting is about the intention to love, support and guide our child or children to what is best for them on all levels - body, mind, emotion and spirit. We divinely create these beautiful beings with Goddess's grace, birthing them into the world. We cannot hold onto our children nor impose our visions upon them as they have their own paths, their own visions. Spiritual parenting teaches me to let go of my own limiting beliefs about what I think is best for my children.

We find ourselves at a unique point in history: at the precipice of human transformation. In this world of rapid change and mass confusion, many of us feel a deep longing for something more—for connection, love, joy, peace and meaning. We are all awakening, each in our own way and in our own time. As our world changes around us, our world view is changing. History is not just the evolution of technology; it is the evolution of thought.—James Redfield, The Celestine Prophecy The Evolution of Our World Viewrn(An adaptation of the “Longer Now” from The Celestine Prophecy.)

Where’s the Connective Flow? With so many things shifting in our world today, it’s hard not to get carried away with political rhetoric, fear, anxiety, etc. So often, in times such as these, it’s easy to just want to control your own little piece of the world and micro-manage all that comes in contact with it. That’s how it’s been for me lately.

As a child, Shiloh was often teased and ridiculed by her peers, not unlike many people in this world. After years of this, she became fed up and decided that she had experienced enough of this torment and would learn karate to defend herself. After all, she knew that if she stood up for herself ...As a child, Shiloh was often teased and ridiculed by her peers, not unlike many people in this world. After years of this, she became fed up and decided that she had experienced enough of this torment and would learn karate to defend herself.

I AM AFFIRMING THE POSITIVE daily! Daily. AFFIRMING the good in your life can only bring YOU more good. AFFIRMING the negative does the same thing yet we as humans seem to get caught up in the negative and sometimes can be "happy" feeling like a victim. Does that ring true for YOU in any area of your life? I KNOW that at one time I felt like I "had to be" negative and when I was in that space I was "happy". I thought I felt good at the time receiving Negative Energy UNTIL, I experienced AFFIRMING THE POSITIVE! Lets do that NOW. AFFIRM THE POSITIVE!

My daughter, Mackenzie, will graduate from high school in a few weeks. I don’t know whether to laugh or to cry. I am filled with emotion. Mackenzie is my firstborn. I agonized through THREE days of labor as she prepared to enter the world 17 years ago. Somehow, all the pain and suffering of ...

Back in the 1930s, the late great psychic diagnosticia Edgar Cayce said, “Thoughts are things---crimes or miracles in their own right.” The eyes of Cayce’s psychic soul, seeing everything as energy, readily perceived that our thoughts, emotions, attitudes and beliefs determine from life to life who we are, how we interpret events, and the reality in which we find ourselves. Cayce fully understood that it is useless to judge or fear anything. What looks like a meltdown of the

Have you found what you want? I ask clients this question at the end of each coaching session, making sure that loose ends are addressed before we part. The client’s job is to show up, be ready to work and ask for what they need. Many clients get edgy around that asking part, preferring to focus on what they can give. Asking implies neediness, an inability to function on our own in a culture that celebrates independence and self-made lives. But coaching, at its core, is about knowing and receiving what we most want, in order to pass that on to others in our own practices.

Many of us speed through the day without much awareness. The whole day is about doing and then doing more. For others of us, we feel lost in our day, directionless, not sure what to do next. By the time the day is finished we often feel frustrated. We didn’t get enough done. We didn’t meet our ...

This is the time of year when life gets very busy, and we find ourselves rushing around doing holiday shopping, decorating our homes, and hosting and attending parties. All of this occurs when the change of seasons beckons us to retreat inward, to connect to Source, and to become quiet. The ...

95% of the people who I've seen attempt this technique had overwhelming success in just two sessions! You too will be forced to come to terms with your own Amazing Sixth Sense as the simple proof on the sheet of paper stares back at you! The Problem that keeps most from becoming Great Of all the ways to develop your Sixth Sense, the absolute best way is still to give live readings on strangers. The great dynamics of it just can't be imitated. The problem is that for most beginners this sounds a little scary. No one wants to look like a fool in front of a complete stranger.

In part 1, we looked at rescuing and care-taking. In this article, we are going to be looking at people pleasing. This is a behaviour that is deeply entrenched in a vast majority of our population, and is quite a tough habit to crack. When a child learns that it gets attention for being good, clean, tidy, or doing well at school, for example, the message it receives is that it is only lovable when it is doing what others want. The more it hears this, the more it learns to put aside its' wants and needs, and to adopt the behaviours necessary to gain the approval/ attention it needs.

Depression is a condition that can be very misunderstood. It affects many people from all walks of life and arrives for a variety of different reasons. It is indiscriminate- about 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 or 8 men will suffer from depression at some stage of their life, and women are much more vulnerable to it than men. If one quarter of the women on this planet is depressed at some stage of their lives, and one eighth of the men, then depression is a very real issue in our society. It carries with it a sense of shame which does not help you to ask for help when you are suffering from it.r

All relationships are a reflection of the sacred relationship, the relationship we have with our Self. What makes the sacred relationship work makes all relationships work. What tarnishes or detracts from the sacred relationship, detracts from every relationship. If you lie to your Self you ...

In an age when people discuss the real meaning of truth and authenticity, it is often very difficult to establish what the truth is. We live in a time when it seems that money can buy you what you want, including the ability to dupe the people you are trying to convince to use your products so that you can turn a healthy profit.

Relationships are the core of Life, but they can be a challenge. The real challenge is the way you deal with the differences that start to show up. They always show up because you have two people with different communication styles, different ways of resolving issues, different needs and expectations, and different fears. And all of these will have arisen from their earlier conditioning and relationship experiences.

I was in a drive-thru line at Starbuck’s last week when I had the sudden urge to do a random act of kindness. I paid for the coffee of the person behind me. What was a very pleasant morning all of a sudden turned into an exceptional morning because I stepped outside of myself to make a stranger's day a bit brighter.

People often ask me if I would take a walk with them. In general, I say no, because my daily walk is my sacred time to connect with nature. It is my version of going to church. I spend time communing with the elements and all the Beings that surround me and it is truly a Divine experience. When I am with others, I cannot "hear" what these Beings are trying to tell me as I am idly chit-chatting and cannot focus on the joyful active meditation. So, unless I am teaching my Meditation and Nature Walk Class I usually walk alone.

Forgiveness is one of the deepest and most intense spiritual manifestations. And from the spiritual perspective, it has to be completely honest, integral and absolute. It requires of a great effort and after this, follows the experience of conciliation and then balance and harmony. n Why is so ...

Forgiveness is logical. It isn't something that you should do. It is a practice that makes sense. When you forgive you improve your well-being and influence others to improve theirs. When you forgive you empower yourself. Forgiveness is a gift that you give to yourself and to the world.
