The public awareness of Reiki energy healing hascome a long way since I started my Reiki practiceyears ago. I remember trying ever so hard toexplain what Reiki was to those who were open andcurious. Today, Reiki energy healing has becomepretty much mainstream. Chances are, if you stopsomeone on the street, I venture to guess that atleast 50% have at least heard of it. Many peoplehave had their first experience with Reiki in ahospital setting. Either they were ill, or a dearon

When most people think of mysticism, they certainly don’t associate it with science. I recently discovered that both Einstein and Newton, two of the greatest scientific minds of all time, were practicing mystics. To be fair, it is likely that neither historical figure had an inkling that they were practicing mysticism. They weren’t spewing out religious ideologies to followers, but they did indeed use this esoteric form of gathering information to complete their studies.

Recently I have been pondering the power of surrender. I have been contemplating this word and what it really means. There are many definitions and most have negative connotations. In our society this word has often been misunderstood. Yes, one might say the bad guys surrendered to the good guys, or in a war one side surrenders to the other. Our images usually are one of being weak or defeated when we have to surrender.

Blessings and Love to each of you! Sanat Kumara and Friends through Athene Raefiel It appears on a world scale that the immediate changes are not happening fast enough. There is still a great need for balance and sustenance. The Governing Bodies of the World have dedicated themselves to a world economy that has set everyone up to need everyone else. This indeed is quite metaphysical in nature but it does not take into consideration the nature of Mineral, Plant, Animal and Human life on your planet.r

From the moment of our birth onward over the span of our human sojourn, we are conditioned to be other than what we truly are. Nowhere is this more prevalent than in our general understanding and subsequent expression of honesty.

These are interesting times. The world is changing rapidly nowadays, or at least we are learning about the changes much faster than previous generations. The main difference between those generations and ours is our familiarity with new technology. We read faster; we learn earlier; we ...

Nettle leaf herbal infusions is my first article on how to make herbal infusions. I have always been interested in herbs to improve my health and well being.

“If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live.” -Albert Einstein

Not only was Whitney Houston a great singer, she was an icon! I ironically recall when she first came out that critics were questioning whether or not she could make it as a singer because at the time she was known more as a model. I guess we now resoundingly know the answer to that question. More than just a great singer, Whitney has been more of an inspiration for many. She had great voice control, a beautiful smile, a pleasant personality and set the standard for many other great voices to follow.

Many people consider their pets to be part of the family and the amount of money that is spent annually on feeding, grooming, treating and looking after their pests grows exponentially year on year. Having a pet is a very expensive operation, when you consider all their needs plus vet bills. However, it seems that many people dote on their animals and really want the best for them.

Hundreds of thousands, more than likely millions, of people have grown up being taught that sex is a sin. It is considered dirty and should only be done to produce new life, and even then it should be done quickly and with extreme secrecy. In some ancient societies, if a woman was raped within a town or village not ...

There is a simple form of meditation, vipassana, which means to see things as they really are. It is a very ancient form of Indian meditation that involves sitting in a comfortable position with the legs crossed, or in a chair, if necessary, with one's back straight and spine erect. The most important thing in meditation is not to sit in a lotus position or half lotus position. If you cannot sit with your legs crossed in the popular positions just sit in a position with your spine erect to facilitate the correct breathing and the correct flow of energy.

In a previous article I noted that I would talk about why I opted not to follow-through with my rabbinical studies. I was raised in a fairly orthodox Jewish household by grandparents that survived the Holocaust. I attended shul on a weekly basis, spent hours studying with various rabbis, and was fully invested in learning Hebrew, Aramaic, and Yiddish. I fasted before Shabbat, and was absolutely focused on being a Mensch and not dating a Goyim. I assumed that as my grandmother

The Law of Attraction is the Law of the Universe that states that what you think about and focus on is what you bring into your life to experience. While most people understand the concept of thinking positively of things they want to create down the line such as a great relationship, more money, successful career, dream house etc., they quite often don't realize how powerful thinking, or pre-paving, if you will, can be used on a moment to moment basis to make their daily li

One of the greatest joy's in life is to spend a moment with God. Just find some time though out your busy day and just be still. In this busy world we get caught up in life that we tend to forget one very important part of ourselves our soul. We feed it on Sunday when we attend church, and when we read our scriptures yet is it enough? We feed our bodies through out the day when are in need of a quick pick me up we turn to the cabinet in search of a quick snack to tide us over till our next meal.

I read somewhere that the dynamics of every romantic relationship are decided within the first 3 months.

This means that the things which we would usually spot go ...I read somewhere that the dynamics of every romantic relationship are decided within the first 3 months.

To be able to manage the out of balance moments of our lives is a skill that everyone can use! Once we understand that we are always creating, you can learn how to support yourself when those "out of left field" things come around in your life. I was listening to a CD about energy and the Law of Attraction today and a new light went on about the what we experience in our everyday lives. I see it as a constant alignment of energy (good and bad), we are always creating with our thoughts and feelings, we are a constant-creation-of-vibration so to speak!

The inner journey Can you say something about your own inner journey? Life is like playing hide the key with God. God has hidden the key and now it is up to us to find the key again. It also takes us a while to realize that the key is hidden in our own heart. The heart is the door to allow life to guide us. The heart is the door to say "yes" to life. The heart is the door to surrender to life.

A few days after I published an article about the subconscious mind and the misconceptions being spread by so-called self-help gurus, I read a message channeled by Mike Quinsey about the awakening process that humanity is currently undergoing. The following is an excerpt:

The Realm of Possibilities There is a realm that one can operate on where the impossible becomes possible. There is a place or plane in reality where there are no limits. It is hard to comprehend with our finite minds, however. It takes incredible faith. It takes a faith that is unlimited, undefined and pure. It takes unleashed faith to ride the waves of the incredible possibilities of life.

How do you know when something is holding you back? When you think of your past, does it fill you with regret, blame, sadness, fear or any heavy emotion that weighs you down? If the answer is yes, that’s a sign that you probably need to release what’s weighing you down. Do you feel hopeless, doubtful or a general sense of tiredness when you think of your life? If the answer is yes, it’s likely that you need to release what’s draining your energy. To the extent that li

My marathon training is well underway. With the heat wave coming through the Chicago area the past several weeks, it has been miserable running conditions. But I have been reminded of what I tell other women; develop a plan and stick to it. No Excuses! So for my running schedule calling out a 4 mile run tomorrow and knowing the heat index will be 110; it means that for personal safety I can't run at my preferred time which is the end of the day or sometimes lunch.

Be willing to forgive self. Willingness is the first step in forgiving ourselves. The act of self forgiveness helps us to let go of the past. This is essential as we continue to heal our past and move forward in our new life. The Oxford English dictionary defines forgiveness as such: “to grant free pardon and to give up all claim on account of an offense or debt.”

If you’ve got a child in the house, you’ve probably heard the word “whatever” a few too many times.

The simple answer to that question is that you do not know most of the time that your body is being affected by the toxic onslaught. In cases of severe poisoning, the body has a few reflexes, which include vomiting and diarrhoea to expel the toxins quickly from the body. However, most toxins are invisible and we are exposed to them on such regular basis, that they build up in our system and lead to disease and disorders in the longer term.

For most people, walking is a normal part of our day to day routine. It’s just something we do, like breathing. I was so proud, as I watched our 22yr old son Phen, walk towards us. He walked right into my arms and gave me the biggest best hug ever. I love hugs like that, don’t you? No one would ever guess by watching the way he walks today, that he nearly lost both legs to a horrible car accident. January 13, 2009, 7:30 pm I got the phone call every parent hopes never to

I was cruising through YouTube last night when I cam upon a song by Chic called Good Times. During the Disco Era when I used to dance to that song under flashing , surrounded by hundreds of people like a great tribe I heard the words but never really paid attention. As I listened to the song last night I remembered how it felt to be moving with so many people lost to the rhythm of the dance. During those times I was one with the universe. I was one with the people around me and my dance partner; I was one with the music and the flashing lights; I was definitely connected with everything.

Difficult people are on the hunt for a quarrel. It's not personal, usually. It's just that you happen to be the most convenient target. Difficult people are insecure. They want YOU to think and live like THEY think and live. Misery indeed loves company. They feel ...

As we approach 2012, the end date of the Mayan Calendar, we have all observed how our lives have grown more intense. This is due to the higher energies or light coming to the Planet at this time. This light has a vibratory rate much faster than we are used to. Those of us who are doing inner work are finding that releasing outwo patterns is imperative, because the old ways are not working any longer. Instead, we must find revelations and healings of self and life at a quicker pace than ever before.

My journey with toxins probably started around the same time as yours. I wanted to talk about my relationship with toxins because I do not think I am very different from most other people. Although the details are most likely to be different, we drank from the same tap, ate the same food and breathed the same air. You may have been luckier than me with your health, but you may also still not know what it is that is making you sick and tired.

Some people call it being careful and well calculated, yet hesitation can become more of a vice than a virtue. Being indecisive is a major setback to goals and achievements. “To be or not to be” can steal the moment from a person. Some opportunities come once in a lifetime, and when they are gone, they can never be recaptured. Hesitation and procrastination are family members. Sometimes, these two can be mixed up, creating confusion about the right way to deal with the problem.r

Your mind has two facets; two distinct functions to play. The two aspects include the conscious and the sub-conscious mind and each plays a very significant role in helping you with your goal realization. rnYour conscious mind is involved in your every day activities, one which you use in your daily routine. The actual power of the conscious mind lies in its ability to make the right choice. It is like the commander of a force who decides the activities of the soldiers who ne

Back in the early ’90’s, when I was first beginning my spiritual healing practice, it was popular for practitioners to increase their clientele, by setting up shop in various cities, and working out of New Age bookstores. This method seemed to be working for many people, so I too decided to give it a try. It was really a lot of running around, but because it turned out to be fairly lucrative, I continued my monthly traveling route to and from the North Carolina cities of Raleigh, Wilmington and Greensboro, for nearly two years.

You know what really annoys me? The insistence that a child’s academic achievement is all that is important. A grades A grades A grades! I read an article last year that really stuck in my mind, and the gist of the article was ‘even though he only has his O levels he has still done well in ...

Joy. We all know the word and we all want to have joy, but do we know the joy of being used by God? Do we know the joy of walking by faith day after day? We can have joy. We as children of God are to mediate on His Word every day and we are given joy according to Psalm 19:8. We can have comfort ...

Adding humor to our life is a wonderful way to bring in more balance. Seeing the amusement in even the most challenging aspects of life lifts our spirits. Having a change in perception is the result of adding humor to our life. Instead of seeing the glass as half empty we see the glass as half full. This has a positive ripple effect in other areas of our life.
