3 Tips To Help You Harness The Moon's Energy With Your Sacred Marketing Message

One of the ways that I'm able to stay in the flow of my personal and professional energy and stay out of overwhelm (well, at least most of the time ;) is by staying in rhythm with the phases of the moon. In fact, I strategically create my business schedule with the intention of harnessing the moon's energy to give my marketing copy and campaigns a mystical edge that sparkles with the magic of my soul's purpose and potential.

Spiritual Awakening Through Near Death Experiences

It is inevitable that survivors of near-death experiences always tell tales of out-of-body experiences. This phenomenal experience always leaves them with a sense of spiritual awakening. Why does the out-of-body experience always result in spiritually transforming the recipient? Can the out-of-body experience actually help us achieve enlightenment? Many people would observe that spiritual enlightenment is linked with saints, yogis, and lamas. When an ordinary individual exper

Are you a fruit-bearing tree? Exploring your Fertility

For those of you who know me, I have worked with women for many years who are struggling with conceiving a baby. I write, not only from a professional place, but also from a very personal place, for I tried to get pregnant for a very long time. This struggle is such a deep and painful road for many people. It can also be a profoundly transformative experience as well.

Beware: This mental attitude that could be undermining your health and happiness

There is no such thing as a vacuum in nature and the same is true of most peoples’ minds. They are full of beliefs, opinions and knowledge that they depend on to give them some identity and meaning. However, the more you fill your mind with beliefs and knowledge the more closed and fixed you tend to become. There is simply no room in there for anything new or fresh. How can innovation or creativity blossom in a mind that is weighed down and overflowing with all that brittle certainty? We need something different.

Paid in Full: A Reinca ation Story

A good case against the theory of reinca ation can be made based on the fact that few people are able to recall their former lifetimes with any certainty. Suspicion about a past life may flicker ever so slightly in someone’s memory banks but then be easily dismissed and forgotten. To catch fleeting memories and make sense of them, one has to be vigilant, look to connect the dots (clues) and be willing to set aside scepticism until truth can be determined. In actuality, we har

Marching to Your Own Drummer

My older brother was a member of a drum and bugle corps. There were many such groups back in the 50's. There may be many such groups in existence now; I’m just not aligned with that slice of life anymore. Back then, the corps would practiced faithfully until they could move as one proud unit before strutting their stuff in competitions. It was at one such competitive event—my brother was not competing that day—that I discovered the frightening truth about the loss of individ

Handing Everything Over to God

Handing everything over to God in the moment is a powerful jewel for self discovery. It is a conscious act of letting go of control and letting God be in charge of all of our affairs. It takes awareness, strength and courage to get to the place of putting our lives and our problems in Spirit's hands on a daily basis, sometimes moment to moment. Often when we are exhausted from trying to go it alone we are then ready to surrender our problems to the Divine.

Healing the Broken Heart

Healing the broken heart is a multifaceted process that takes patience and self care. The first step is to acknowledge that indeed our heart is broken whether it is through the death of a loved one, a relationship ending or a betrayal in a close relationship. Once you acknowledge the pain and embrace the experience healing the broken heart can begin. This sounds simple yet can be challenging. The natural inclination is to protect the heart by denying that the heart is broken in the first place. Anger can easily be a way to mask the pain and keep the focus on blaming the other.

Waiting For Enlightenment

My son went on another extended trip this time to a debate camp 2000 miles away from home and I am theoretically on vacation. Vacation from what? Before he left we had a spat because he always waits till the last minute to pack. I was particularly mad because I have ten thousand things to do and his flight was at 6 o'clock in the morning the following day. When I came home from the airport and took a look at the house I almost cried because there was no space in the house tha

Practical Spirituality On Reclaiming Real Science April 6, 2011

There seems to be a gap between what leaders want and what the people want that is supported by false religion and pseudoscience (another form of religion that uses scientific jargon). This gap has existed for a long time, but has been growing since the Age of Enlightenment. During that time, and throughout history, religions began as counter cultural agents in the society created to better the life of the individual by getting him or her to realize they were more than a small group of people struggling to survive.

Breaking Free

I have read that baby elephants in captivity are chained by one leg to a post. They try hard to free themselves but are unable. After awhile they give up. When they grow up, they believe they still can't free themselves, even though they have the strength to break free at any time. If the story is true, humans are a lot like that. A good many of our ideas about ourselves were created when we were small, powerless, and defenseless. We still carry those identities within us. They activate automatically in the face of challenges.

Junk Food for your Soul

My teenager’s act of rebellion is listening to rap music. Personally, I cannot stand the music. The beat is okay on some songs, but the majority of the lyrics are horrible. Now, of course, this is my personal opinion, but I don’t think there is much positive to be gained from lyrics that are centered on cussing, sex, drugs and gangs. Rather than take the irrational approach of throwing away all the CDs and his stereo, I choose to talk rationally with him about his choices

Learning to Trust What We Hear From the Angels

Angel guidance when it comes is always loving and kind. They are waiting to help us whenever we remember to ask them as they cannot help us unless we ask. However, when we do ask, the angels are delighted to guide us in the areas of our lives that are not going as we would hope they would. They can see into our hearts, and so the answers that we get from them may be slightly different to the question that we ask. However, they know us inside out, and back to front, and so they know the questions that we are not asking as well as the questions we are.

Free Will – The Bubble of Creation: Why We are a Spark off the Bigger Flame

Imagine a child blowing a large soap bubble and as it leaves the wand it slowly hangs in the air, iridescent and beautiful. Now the child takes his wand and passes it through the bubble one more time, making smaller bubbles from the big one. He blows again, and a myriad of little bubbles stream forward, each iridescent and beautiful, each made from the same original material, yet each floating off into the air individually and separate from the large bubble they started from. You have just envisioned how God made free will and the universe’s first creations.

How to React When You Find Your Teen Smoking

Where there's smoke, there's often a teen playing with fire – a lit cigarette. If that teen happens to be yours, you may be clouted with emotions ranging from disappointment to rage to shock when you discover them smoking. Above all, you may be worried, because teen smokers are prone to turn into adult smokers. Teens can develop a nicotine addiction with alarming speed – sometimes in as little as several weeks. Many teen smokers assume they can stop whenever they choose, but few can easily kick the habit.

Past Lives ….. how do they link in to your present life?

In order for the soul energy to heal parts of its past or conclude an ongoing scenario, it creates present situations or feelings that direct a person towards their past lives. These may come in several formats. They may come in the form of unexplained fears or phobias, where it does not add up, or as a strong curiosity about past life experiences. There has been much controversy and curiosity that we have been here many times before. Dr Weiss describes the process in a wonderful metaphor: “It is as if a large diamond were to be found in every person. Picture a diamond a foot long.

Breaking Free of Our Comfort Zones

In 1992, a Chinese freighter mistakenly dropped a crate of 30,000 rubber duckies into the Pacific Ocean. Three months later, many of these “friendly floatees” were discovered on the coasts of Indonesia, Australia, and South America. Some daring ducks headed toward Alaska by crossing the Bering Strait and even sailed through the Arctic Ocean, finally landing on the coast of England. Due to the accidental release of the rubber duckies, scientists were able to better understand ocean currents and wave patterns.

Those are the best laughs, and when you think of a situation that made you laugh like that, it can’t help but put a smile on your face.

The Closing Ceremony

Yesterday was the last day of my 46th year and I kept hearing as much in my mind. As the thought continuously made itself known to me, I decided to revel in the fact that an ending and therefore a beginning was taking place. I looked at my surroundings as though this was the last time I would see everything—and in fact, in a way it was true. I will never be that person I was yesterday again since today, I am who I am in this moment of now. It was refreshing to see the world in this Light.

3 Keys to Identifying Your Divine Right Client

The other day I was chatting with my new business co-creator, Sharon Desjarlais, about what she calls your "Divine Right Client." This concept of the Divine Right Clients (DRC) transcends the idea of a "niche," or "target market" by recognizing that you and your DRC aren't just a good business fit, but an energetic match made in heaven! From this perspective you can see that you have a karmic agreement with your Divine Right Client to bring them the exact message, healing, counseling or wisdom that they need at the perfect moment in their lives when they are ready to receive it.

Weight Loss Mindset Series

Hi, my name is Dave and I am the owner of Tryary.com. Obviously, given my belief in the Law of Attraction, it comes as no surprise that I believe that weight loss is as much what you feed your mind as it is what you feed your body. There are literally hundreds of weight loss and fitness programs, but if your not in the right mindset, you won't get anywhere in the long term. This, however, is just my opinion and given that I've never had to actually lose a significant amount of weight in my life, who am I to say anything.

Accelerated Soul Development – is this the reserve of the special ‘few’? We are all capable of exercising our psychic abilities. Like any other area of human endeavour, some people excel in different skills to others. However, there is no ‘magic stick’ with which those who experience psychic phenomena are hit. The questio I have often been asked is “how do I get to the level you’re at?” My answer is that it is quite simple but challenging. As in learning to drive, the more you do it the easier it becomes.

LIFE JUST IS

We each have several defining moments in our lives; college graduation, marriage, and the birth of a child are just a few examples. A powerful moment can also be when we make a sudden realization, allowing a shift in consciousness. Some may only have one epiphany in a lifetime, others may have several a week; but either way, these shifts are important to not only the individual but the collective unconscious as a whole. When one benefits, we all benefit.

We're All in Different Places, And That's Okay

Sometimes it can be difficult to resist the impulse not to put people in a box. For most of us, sizing people up and then applying the labels we feel best characterizes them is such an ingrain habit that parting from this tendency requires an extraordinary amount of diligence and attention from us. For my efforts, along this line, I try to stay mindful of the truth that not only do people have the capacity to change, that people actually do change and are in fact constantly c
