Poop on My New Book by Leah Guy| Jan 01, 2008 For me, the New Year always offers a sense of hope and excitement. Some say it’s just another day, and that it is, but whether it is just a mental state, or an energetic vibration from collective consciousness, there’s something unique about this ...

My inner monsters are those characteristics about myself that I don’t like very much. These are traits that I’ve worked hard at over the years to minimize; but occasionally one will rear its ugly head. Some of these character defects are: anger, pride, procrastination, over-committing, perfectionist, people pleasing and the list goes on and on. Discussing this with friends recently, one of them commented that these defects never go away; they just get watered down. And I whole-heartedly agree. What keeps my inner monsters watered down are the tools I’ve picked up over the years.r

In this series of posts about Divine Creating I will share stories that demonstrate how the Universe creates through us. We are always creating through our thoughts, so let’s remember to manifest more consciously with intention. In Divine creating we focus our thoughts and intention on co-creating positively in union with God. Sharing stories of Divine creating encourages and inspires more consciousness in manifesting. What we focus on we create more of with the love and support of Source. Energy follows awareness. Asked God for Help

I’ll never forget the sit, stand, kneel and pray routine I learned as a child at the St Dominic Church. Memories still fill my mind of being taught “how” to pray. Although with good intention, the church’s teaching was more about how to kneel and hold my hands together properly rather than the fostering of communication with the Higher Intelligence (God.) Since then I’ve come to my own conclusions and best practices when conversing with “Big Man” within. Here are my insights:

I never expected to be living in the vicinity of Medjugorje, where there is a Shrine of the Virgin Mary, located in the hills of the southern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. On June 24, 1981, six young children were given the gift of witnessing an apparition of the Blessed Mother, Virgin Mary, one quiet evening in the little village of the former Yugoslavia.

You catch a thought, an inspiration pops into your mind. A light bulb goes off. You begin to toss it around in your head, giving it consideration. Your mind begins to wrap around the possibilities as you sit with it for a few days in contemplation. Your emotions begin to engage in this now ...

Have you ever danced with someone who was in total control, who knew exactly when to turn and step to create a flowing movement of beauty and grace? When you allow the other person to lead, you accept their guidance and give up control. And together, you create a joyous sequence of steps that inspires, uplifts and possibly transcends gravity.

“It is only when we silent the blaring sounds of our daily existence that we can finally hear the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, as it stands knocking on the doorsteps of our hearts.” K.T. Jong nnWalking is a perfect way to get to know more about the world around you. You’re moving at a slower pace than the car, and you can always stop whenever you want to take a closer look.

I listened to an online introduction on evolutionary spirituality and evolving beyond the ego led by Craig Hamilton earlier this month (April 2010). Craig is an amazing speaker (and seeker) who shared many insights on evolutionary spirituality and evolving beyond the ego. This article is second in a series of three.

I call this the other "F" word. No, not because it is insulting or deragoratory in any way. It is just that it has so much charge associated with it, almost like the word "God". Many people are turned off by it, and some people get defensive when this word is mentioned as a possibility to ...

In these uncertain financial times, we are all wondering what in the world we did to get into this mess in the first place and what we can do to get out of it. Surely, unbridled corporate and personal greed played a very large part in creating the fiscal fiasco that we are currently facing. ...

We are guided by our beliefs! We live our lives in accordance with what we truly believe in. If we believe we are born with sin then we carry a heavy baggage of guilt with us throughout our life. If we believe the doors of Paradise open to us when we sacrifice ourselves then we're willing to blow ourselves up into smithereens gladly. If we believe we are the chosen people above everyone else then we feel separate from all around us. If we believe in Lord Ganesha who will remove all obstacles from our life, then we pray to Lord Ganesha whenever we have a problem.

The world described in the TV- series "Game of Thrones" is on a dense planet with a very low collective consciousness. The lifestyle and mindset are close to the Dark Ages in European history on our Earth. These are several clear signs of low consciousness: 1. The system of values a. Power and revenge vs. creativeness and art. Most of the people have significant mind pollution; they obsessively pursue revenge or seek to gain power via ownership of land, money or women. 2. The social and economic position of womenr

Many years ago, my children were raised on the various teachings and concepts of "magic" as I was studying different religions and spiritual beliefs. I had come across many metaphysical teachings woven throughout most of the different religions. It was very important to me that they stay ...

What’s in a Word? Words impact our lives and have more power than we can imagine. Words create the core of our communication, personal expression and are powerful enough to manipulate our reality and existence. Think I’m speaking “out of context?” Then, why at age 50 are you still allowing the ...

I would imagine that your current customers know that you product or service is the best, but how about the large universe of prospective buyers that have not yet tried what you have to offer? How are these prospects supposed to know that you have something far superior to offer than your ...

Freeing from Structures I am Mother Mary. I am the comforting energy, the loving energy. And I myself stayed on your planet. In a convent I had the honor to stand by God's Son, Jesus Christ. I was a priestess.

The issues that we develop throughout our life as accumulated experiences that form the same theme become the means through which we interpret all things to give them the same type of meaning. We make them about the same thing. The meaning we give them spawns a reality around them as a form of self-delusion. We make-up a story in our imagination that forms an assumption as a belief that we then mistaken for reality, and act on as if it’s real.

I would like to talk to you about Body Images. We all have this wonderful image set in your minds of how we want to look and how we see ourselves being.

Working with other people is a daily fact of life for most of us. Corporations, nonprofits, private industries and consultants all depend on people to remain viable. Even more so, their employees need to provide at least some level of cooperation among themselves in order to promote and supply the benefits the organization offers. Working together is another matter.r

You're driving along, minding your own business and all the sudden the sunset has assaulted your senses with all the color and light of an otherworldly portal. Before you know it you find yourself...contemplating life? Why do we do that? Is there some spiritual force there, or has the sunset tweaked our brain? To answer this, we have to explore the feeling. When you saw the colors, the lights, the size... was extraordinary, right? But was what you felt simply the sum of its visual parts, or was there something more?

For years we’ve been pointing out that there are two types of many things… for example, “missionaries” and “missionaries” – yes you may have heard us through N talk about that… and of course there are many varieties within these missionaries...

“Guardian Angels are Real” Down through history angels have been talked about and every spiritual group talks about angels in one form or another. And in the US 80% of the people believe in angels. But how do we talk to our guardian angels? First of all, it’s important not to pray to angels because they are like worker bees working in accordance with the amazing plan of Great Spirit. Angels do what they are supposed to do in order to help all the people they watch over. We are to talk to them.

Awareness Engineering is founded on the premise that two things are required for the human experience. Consciousness is required for us to be aware of our (or any) Existence. Existence is required for Consciousness to have something to be conscious of. Both are axiomatic and foundational to life. Therefore, the highest purpose we each have is to establish experience in the subconscious and/or super-conscious mind. These experiences are the basis for personality, behavior, and

The comment caught me off guard. Sometimes you go through the motions of daily life, and then something sticks out. This was one of those moments. We were talking about how cynical this world can be, and it can even cause a person to doubt themselves sometimes. The author has a known lack of confidence, and even self-worth. (Orphans have that). These kinds of topics are nothing really new. But, then it came, out of nowhere. The comment (actually a question): "Are you saying God made a mistake in creating you, or that he made a mistake in trying to redeem you?" Wow.

We spend our lives running from one event to the next. We have become so busy, we have forgotten to be still. Just what rat race are we on? I like to say that as busy as we are, we need to get to the opposite peace and quiet. This race includes running from those bottom lines! RUNNING By Merry ...

A principle has leaped out of thermodynamics so hot it’s bubbling up in other disciplines as a major law of physics, to wit: “This principle predicts natural configuration across the board: river basins, turbulence, animal design (allometry, vascularization, locomotion), cracks in solids, dendritic solidification, Earth climate, droplet impact configuration, etc.”

We are entering into a time that has been spoken of for thousands of years. This time has been called the Apocalypse, the New Age, the Golden Age and the End of the World. But for those of us who understand the message of the Mayas and of the indigenous peoples of the world we know this time to be one of new beginnings and endings.

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is joyful for some people and stressful for others. If you begin to feel pressured by a need to give just the right gift or the perfect holiday meal, perhaps these commonsensical birds of Christmas will re-mind you to peaceful balance. So often we forget that the real gift of the season is each and every one of us--which means you! 1. Fly like an eagle to the heights of inspiration and soar into the Spirit of the holidays. Winging

All of us at some point or another have been asked or we’ve asked the questio “How was your day?” Generally speaking people are well intended and ask out of their kind heartedness and concern. However, upon inspection this unassuming question can unexpectedly handicap our intent at conscious evolvement and trap us in our ego. This is because this common question is very leading and we rush to answer it without much awareness.

Self care is crucial to emotional healing. Emotional pain doesn’t happen at a convenient times. Everything seems to be going along fine and suddenly, in a flash, you find yourself at the bottom of an emotional hole in the ground with no way out. Everything seems all wrong.You have tripped into what I call an “emotional land mine.” That is an emotional trigger that gets tripped by a recent event that indicates some unfinished emotional business. You are hurting, and often don’t even know why.

Our relationship with ourselves is our first and most fundamental relationship: all other relationships flow from that. So the most powerful thing you can do is to love yourself unconditionally and allow that to flow into your relationships. Two of the core issues underlying relationship stress are a lack of self-love and low self-worth. Therefore, the absolute starting point for healing and transforming your relationships is to grow self-love and self-worth. However many struggle with this, and do so for three main reasons: 1. The belief it is selfish to love yourself.r

Recently a beloved friend and yoga teacher, invited our yoga class to form a group intention: “I am strong and flexible and I can easily dance with the winds of life.” I loved that so much that I’m making it my intention. And how will I begin to manifest that intention? I turn to Flying Lesson #3: Take the Pilot’s Seat.

By Ram Giri We’ve all heard of the predictions of change and we do see an enormous amount and speed of change all around us, from technical innovations to natural calamities and man-made disasters, to political revolutions, to religious fanaticism and more. The transformation predicted for our age is in full swing but what does it lead to? What is being born? What is the essence of what we are witnessing, and most importantly: what can we do to be part of the solution and not part of the problem? (After all no one in their right mind wants to end up in the camp of the dinosaurs).

D I E T, Detoxing... for Health One of the most 'in your face' aspects of going on a detox is adapting to the taste and texture of the new range of foods you will be eating. Most people turn up their nose completely at the range of 'healthy' foods recommended by their nutritionists. This is a natural reaction strengthened by the selfish ego and compounded by the taste buds. There is however a way of approaching this problem by priming the person taking the detox and by teaching them how to adapt their pallet so that they can acquire a taste for the foods more quickly.

Right from childhood, we are familiar with words like stress, negativity, frustration, and anger. We understand that as adults we will be under duress, we will be angered by work pressure and overall lead a stressful life. These days, even kids say that they are over worked and stressed at school. Positive and refreshing words like relaxation, happiness, joy and satisfaction are practically unknown to most people. People know that letting your mind, body and soul relax after

After a function last evening, I sat in my friend’s car venting my anger. I was in the midst of playing the blame game towards the facilitator of the event we had just attended. After about a minute or so, it occurred to me to take a different stance.
