Robert Thurman once said that the possibility of becoming a buddha was not in the realm of imagination for most westerners. The idea that one could be connected to everything, have unlimited awareness, and live in perfect joy in this society is so incomprehensible that people cannot move, seriously, toward the attainment of enlightenment.

I had written an article on Spinal Stenosis it has led to this. Dreams do come true when you truly want to heal. Joe who ran the Boston Marathon, has spinal stenosis herniated disc ran the entire 26 miles with absolutely no pain. He is still doing well. He gave us the medal for finishing the race which will go up in the office. I am so proud of him and glad to be part of making his passion become reality. That is Joe with me in the picture. I believe if you truly want to heal you can. Joe proves it.

I feel naked. As I am writing this I am actually wearing clothes. It’s thirty degrees outside. I just published my first novel—Human Adulthood: A Spiritual Romance. I have written and published four non-fiction books. There certainly is a level of vulnerability with those, especially since I disclose quite a bit about myself. Fiction is different.

I am sure you would agree that the most important resource of a business is not really the product or service, nor in the customers; it is actually in the employees, without whom the business would not exist. And if the employees are not well then the performance decreases, and with it the ...

Raising Your Self-Esteem Esteem is the value and worth we place on something. Having a healthy self-esteem places value and worth on you as a human being. Low self-esteem prevents you from claiming your “good” in life, and sharing your unique gifts and talents with the world. A healthy ...

Anyone who watches Oprah is familiar with The Secret - a popular book about the Law of Attraction. But many people are frustrated because, though they've read the book - and want their lives to be different - they just can't seem to make The Secret work for them. Well, the Law of Attraction ...

Bring joy and fulfilment into your life. Life can be as joyous and meaningful as we choose to make it. Joy is what makes life beautiful. It runs deeper than mere ‘pleasure’, is more enduring than mere ‘fun’, and is more intense and thrilling than mere ‘happiness’. Joy is what helps us to get through challenges, heals our wounds, inspires us to greatness, and fills our souls with goodness. What brings joy and fulfilment into your life may be completely different fr

Is there a better option to psychology? Are there alte atives to psychiatry and taking pills? The following explores how you can not only feel better for a while but free yourself of the very roots of suffering, of repeating the patterns of negative karma.

As a solo spiritual business owner, it's easy to get overwhelmed with all of the various and sundry tasks on your "to do" list (trust me, I speak from experience!). This feeling can be exacerbated by the energy of the Waxing or growing Moon (the period between the New Moon and the Full Moon, which is where we are right now). During this phase of the lunar cycle, responsibilities can pile up until they seem so pressing that it's difficult to move forward.

I am sure you are familiar with metaphysics and the power of thought, which is: what we think about we bring about, like attracts like, positive attracts positive. And so, what happens in our life, we have created it with our mind, conscious and subconscious. Some people wonder what the ...

Creativity is a cycle. It involves being open to new ideas and new ways of doing things. Creativity is a cycle because it begets more creativity. In other words, the more you develop creativity, the more creative you will be. For instance, once you decide to become creative, you will see things in unique ways. Once the cycle starts, your mind will be on a roll in letting your imagination run freely. Now you will no longer see things in a strict or narrow way. Now, a metaphor for clouds can be silky balls of wool or cotton.

”I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details”. – Albert Einsteinnn“…I would ask, ‘Why was the universe created?’ Because then I would know the meaning of my own life.” -- Albert EinsteinnnnnG-d is infinite and ungraspable. By definition, the more we understand, the more there is to understand. nnBut to know how G-d created t

It seems gastric ulcers on on the rise but we have natural ways of healing gastric ulcers without all those terrible prescription drugs that have lots of side effects.

There is a new study by Dr. Redford Williams at Duke University and Dr. Robert Sapolsky at Stanford University demonstrating that anger, rage and hostility have a very damaging effect on the cardiovascular system. There is so much evidence that hostility is harmful that it is ...

Moving house is a stressful business but that aside it also brings with it important life lessons. We are forced to look through the things of past and ask “Do I really need this?”. We have garage sales getting rid of clutter we question what to bring into our new home and what to leave behind. There will be things we have outgrown, things held onto purely for sentimental purposes and those items we never really wanted in the first place. Personally I think everyone should move house every ten years if only to shift them from their comfort couch of familiarity.r

As I reflect upon the events in my life over the past year, I discover that part of my learning in Sedona has been about taking time for me—and enjoying it. As an American, it is part of our cultural dynamic to work 40, 80 even 120 hours a week. We are not considered a success if we don’t tow this incredibly challenging line. So, we do it. I certainly used to do it. I would come home exhausted, craving a glass of wine in order to drown my sorrows, while trying to achieve some semblance of relaxation or at least escape—if only for a moment.

I think my favorite figurines in our manger scene we put up at Christmas time are the 3 wise men. Even as a little girl, they were the ones I would play with and enjoy pretending that they were bringing gifts to the baby Jesus. The story of the wise men following the majestic star in the sky is one that your kids will enjoy as well.

To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. ~ William Shakespearer

Please enjoy my favorite concepts about energy, consciousness, healing, ascension, evolution, awakening, divine relationships, and more. The information that I get from my divine higher consciousness has transformed my reality and my way of life. I hope this information will make a wonderful difference in your life as well. The Speed Of Love There are so many energies going in so many different directions. Some are in a hurry, while some are going slow. Some are considerate and some are trying to force their way.

The causes of your self-sabotage can be the following: - Self-defeating or limiting beliefs about that particular activity or life in general, such as: I'm vulnerable; the unknown is dangerous; I should not take the risk; life is unfair; I'm not good enough; I’m not worthy; life is hard; I am a victim in my life; I have no happiness in life; no one should be trusted; no pain, no gain; the rich are unhappy, and many, many more.

The human heart is amazing in its ability to experience love, wisdom, compassion, and caring. The human heart is amazing in its ability to experience sadness, disappointment, and sorrow. Living life with a full and open heart means opening to it all and accepting the passion, mystery and flow of life. Living with a full and open heart also means accepting each powerful impact when the flow of life hits hard.

It's holiday time! What a joyous time of year. Right? Well, for many, holiday gatherings symbolize struggles with family members who we tend to avoid the rest of the year. This holiday seaso I would like to invite you to see your family gatherings as wonderful opportunities to heal. Instead of being in resistance to that aunt that makes you wince every time your hear her voice, or to your mom who literally drives you nuts with her compulsive nagging, or to your dad who is a master at judging your decisions, think of them all as gifts.

While the 2012 phenomenon is symbolic of the completion of many great astrological cycles (including the Mayan long count calendar) it also presents us with an opportunity to change our lives on a practical level. The 2012 astrological “alignment” is a portal in time where the energy is right for humans to reach full consciousness.

Remember the fun game you played as a kid that started out something like this…”I’m going to Grandma’s house and inside my suitcase I’m going to pack my teddy bear.” The next child would have to continue this line of thinking by remembering what the last person packed and then add his own item into the suitcase. The list of items got longer and longer and it became harder and harder to remember the list. Therefore, the first person to forget what came next was out and the game started all over again. I loved that game! But my memory was a lot better then than it is now.

I am Shan'Shija. I am the High Self of Jesus Christ. I rise and look at you, into the deepest depth of your soul, for I know how deeply connected you are with Jesus and Shan'Shija. It is a love bond that was knotted. This love bond that unites us and lets us become one. When Shan'Shija transmits the messages the Eleua Energy flows in the purest and sheerest form of divine light. For the Eleua Energy, united with the Prosonodo Light, is the highest energy that can be brought onto Earth and to the planets.

Harassment is rife, certainly in London. It happens in all environments: from entrepreneurial environments, to very reputable companies, to day to day life. It happens regularly, and it is justified by society. I have experienced it many times and I have been disgusted by the low level of people, including Directors. I cannot dress or behave the same way that I could in Italy. Part of the mind here is sick. As a by-product, in some environments and by some people, the people who get the jobs are the people who are more “sexy” and have less “values”.r

It is often the small problems that cause us the greatest amount of difficulty. There is no magic cure, there is only the option to look closer as that which causes difficulty or annoyance and see what is really there. Many a time the blame is placed on another person, ‘he did this and it made me angry/upset me’, ‘she said that and it bugged me all day’. So long as there is a blame game going on, the problem is not being addressed. The problem is not the other person. The problem is your reactions. It is that which needs to be addressed.

AN ANSWERED PRAYER I work in the newbo intensive care unit as a registered nurse. As a part of my job, I attend all deliveries that are considered to be high risk. High risk means that the baby is not responding well to the mother's contractions during labor. The obstetrician is the one that ...

During his junior year at the University of Califo ia, while training to become a world-champion gymnast, Dan Millman stumbled on a 94-year-old mentor nicknamed Socrates, a powerful, unpredictable, and elusive character. He taught a way to maximize performance using a unique blend of Eastern philosophy and Western fitness to cultivate the true essence of a champion - the "way of the peaceful warrior." Millman's first-person account of his odyssey into realms of light, darkness, mind, body, and spirit has since become an international bestseller about the universal quest for happiness.

The beauty and the challenge in writing about manifesting what you need and want is that there is an overwhelming amount of information on this topic. Everywhere I turn these days I am brought face to face with the buzzwords of Universal Laws, co-creation, vibrational frequency, intention, abundance, prosperity mentality, gratitude and appreciation. Despite all the available information, I’m not seeing many people around me creating great prosperity, whether that be wealth, health, relationships, work or leisure.

Have you ever gotten a pebble in your shoe while you were out walking? You feel like you are just getting your stride, feeling good about the progress you are making and suddenly you feel it. It moves around so that sometimes you don’t feel it, but nope, it’s there. You keep going because you don’t want to stop and take the time to get it out. You flop your foot around, slap your toes on the ground, to try to coax it to the front of your shoe where you hope it will settle. But it just tumbles around and works its way back to your heel again. Painfully.

I ask you to believe one thing, as I do, that trees can talk, from that one belief all else is possible. “I am free,” said the Wind to the Willow. “Free from what,” the Willow asked. “Noooooo,” blew the Wind, “not free from, free to be.” “I just want freedom from my roots, then I could tramp across that field, to that rich fertile spot right there.” The Willow pointed a branch with the help of the wind. “Nooooooo, “ said the Wind again, “ you want to be free to move to that spot.” “I hardly see the difference,” said the Willow, who is known to be a bit weepy.

Dear Danielle, I love reading your blog, and yours is a perfect voice that I would love to hear from regarding accepting criticism. How do you accept criticism (in a work environment) that feels negative? Or, do you have any tips on how to do so? Thanks,n- N Dear Criticized and ...

It is being suggested here that we have only one real choice in life:nn nTo let go of fear and resistance and be taken by the flow of life, or, to fight, screaming all the way, as the flow of life takes us anyway.nnLife is. It moves.nnThe only way we can avoid that is to die - either to our awareness of ourselves (insanity), or physically (death).nnTo let go of fear and resistance is, of course, not easy, and there are many different approaches to life that attempt to help us

What is grounding and why is it so important? Sometimes people have a tendency to live in the clouds, most especially those whose awareness is connected to Spirit. Part of our learning experience is to figure out how to balance between ‘living in the stars’ and keeping our ‘feet on the ground.’ Life is filled with dualities, good & bad, hot & cold, wet & dry and learning to balance between our Spiritual as well as our physical natures at the same time is no exception.

Our lives are interwoven with those who need our words and deeds. We are placed exactly where our highest learning is, right where it is needed. The truth is that God’s law of love is always working through us, no matter the appearance. Our egos take on “power plays” that are needed for our ...

Prepare for surgery with self care. Self care and self love go hand in hand. Giving to yourself first is an act of self love. This is important in order to increase your body's ability to heal from surgery. Prepare for surgery with self care. It is essential. Your body, mind, emotions and spirit need to be treated with loving attention. I am making sure that my self care is balanced on all levels as I am having surgery this week myself.

Abuse can take many forms, it happens in many ways and in many environments. There is currently a lot of talking about sexual harassment, also particularly thanks to TimesUp movement. There is so much harassment going on and most of it is not known or recognized. For the brave people who decide to stand up and say something, they might incur in certain behaviors from the abusers. Those behaviors might shake them even further. Here is a short list of behaviors so that they can be a little "prepared" when they stand up. Hopefully we are going to see the END of abuse very soon.r

I am often bereft of words to explain the many deeply transcendent spiritual experiences I have had over the last ten years. I say bereft, because I cannot speak about what is conceptless, beyond human language, and formless. The best I can do is share inspirational stories and weave mystical imagery never knowing if I will trigger the deep inner wisdom of the one consciousness free of illusion that resides within each of us.

Tried and true techniques to engage your audience & leave them wanting more! As a spiritual practitioner, one of the best ways I know to let your light shine is to offer spiritual workshops in your community. Here are 3 of my favorite tips to help you host workshops that ROCK! Tip #1: Set the Scene for Magic I always include "magical boosters" in my workshops by placing items around the room that inspire a sense of wonder and inspiration. I include things like candles and incense as well as stones, pretty altar cloths and even statuary that match the theme of my workshop.

It's Thanksgiving - let's count our blessings. For many of us Thanksgiving reminds us of family visits and turkey dinners with loved ones. It is a time to reconnect. Thanksgiving is a time to focus on gratitude. Let's count our blessings such as the people and things that we appreciate in our life. This is a good time to make gratitude a part of our daily practice not just on Thanksgiving. Mother Nature so freely offers us so much to appreciate. So let's count our blessings each and everyday.

Any inkling of doubt that I ever had regarding whether or not I am energetically connected to astrological phenomenon has been washed away by the events of a few evenings ago. It was then as I sat reading in my favorite café when my stomach began to ache. I wondered if I had eaten too much or if I had some sort of instant food poisoning, but neither of those things seemed quite right. I continued reading from my Kindle while rubbing my stomach when I received the download from the Universe about what was going on.

Namaste This is the phrase that acknowledges the Divine in others. It basically states the god in me recognizes the god in you. This is an important reminder that the Divine, Great Creator, The Universe, or God, lives within each of us, and the statement brings about constant awareness of this fact. If we want to attract goodness it's a good idea to recognize it in ourselves and then we can clearly see it in others. Recently, I've heard many people say that they do not understand how the "Secret" works, or the Law of Attraction which is essentially what the "Secret" is.

I must follow on from my interpretation of ego as the root cause of climate change. On a spiritual level that may well be so, but what other more tangible explanations are there for this horrific destruction of our planet and species? A phenomenon we are almost paralysed to resolve.rnI say it is that of Addictions, perched quietly on the next step down. It is a plague we are all too familiar with. We all have addiction in common as a species growing up in today’s world to s

A couple of months ago in a creative art session at University, we were each given a tray of sand. At first this felt a little odd - 35 years old and playing with a tray of sand. But as I began to silence the mindless chatter in my head and just "feel" the sand running through my fingers I ...

Suicide – What If? What if you decided that life was too hard, that you couldn’t cope and you did not want to live anymore? What if you decided to take your own life? What if you died? What then? What if all of the mystics were right and there was a heaven, and a life after death? What if the “you’’ inside of your body did not really die? What if the only thing that changed was that you were no longer in a body and that you were now watching everything from a bigger perspective? What if there was no judgment on your actions, just Love and Compassion and that you now rea

Despite the fact there has been a fascination with psychic phenomena throughout Europe and America for well over a hundred years, there has been little research into what makes someone inclined to become a psychic. There are though many commonalities in people who are likely to become successful psychics and mediums. Certainly in my experience I fall into many of the categories and so I am sure will you.
