• The Year 2012 I am Master Lao Tse. With the deepest joy of my light it is an honor for me to greet you with the words OMAR TA SATT. Sangitar has encouraged me to put my messages in a nutshell. But what Sangitar does not take into account is that there are no nutshells beyond the veil. Everything is in flowing energy without a stop or standstill. I greet you with such great esteem, with esteem and respect for your courage to be in the duality here on Earth at this time. For surely it is not easy.

Move the Energy We’re all familiar with those “hot and hazy” days of summer. You know, the days when the air feels as if you could cut it with a knife- it feels stagnant and suffocating, as though there’s less oxygen available, making it hard to breathe. On these stiffeling days we turn on ...

Today I want to talk about a very important topic, which is constantly mentioned, but never deeply understood…. How many of us have not been in a situation in which we crave certain foods, certain feelings, emotions and relationships? How many of us have not developed certain addictions in order to compensate for that illusion of lack and loveliness? Here is the deal…

Do you ever look at other people and think if you just had what they had you would be happy (content)? Perhaps a celebrity, or even someone you work with or see regularly? "They have it made", you think to yourself. If you could only have what they had you would be happy, too. The reality, though, is that life will likely throw you some time of curve over the long term. It could be people letting you down, feeling too hot or cold, health problems and aging, accidents, unjust legal problems, or - of course - the unexpected things you never saw coming.

I'd like to dedicate this article to the short life of Kelty Patrick Dennehy. The impulse to write about my own past experience of depression and suicidal tendencies has been percolating to the surface of my mind for a while now. It's a subject matter that goes largely unnoticed and unspoken for most, until someone is directly or indirectly affected by it.

Forgiveness can take forever - but Love will set you free Everyone seems to be working on forgiveness these days. We want to how to truly forgive so we can be at peace. We want to experience this feeling we have been told about that truly sets us free. The truth is, the feeling and freedom we ...

Understanding Procrastination If I may use some modern and classic allegories and ancient 'religious' terminology mixed together I would like to share this: The way to overcome procrastination is to invest time to understand how the mind works - that we each have 2 minds the higher and the lower and through learning how to regenerate the lower mind and through the higher mind take charge of and full responsibility for your own life. This you can achieve through meditation and through developing an understanding of yourself (and you can use any ancient religious text to do this).

Norina, the medium of the golden-blue frequency on planet Landras, has been in touch with Sabine Sangitar regularly since Landras ascended. In this channelled meditation she invites us to travel to Landras with her. * I am Norina. I am the medium of the golden-blue frequency of Landras and I greet you with the words OMAR TA SATT. And I call you my family, for I, too, am of the golden-blue frequency.

You are having difficulty in your marriage relationship yet your children feel the tension in the home and have difficulty to the point that it is interfering with their school work. Do you sugar coat the painful reality from your children so you do not feel guilty? Afraid of hurting You maybe afraid of hurting your children so you hide things from them and this may create a different perception that everything are alright when you are having difficulty in making ends meet. Quarrelling Your children are aware that you are quarrelling all the time if not with th

nThe fall of 2000 a two hour PBS special featured the fifty year career of improvisation comedian Jonathan Winters. Winters, a fixture on TV during the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s is known for his unscripted, seat-of-the-pants comedy. When asked where his ideas came from, Winters mentioned a higher power. “I certainly like to think that I’m in charge and I know exactly what I’m doing and what I’m going for,” the 74 year old comedian sa

Lots of spiritual and holistic entrepreneurs hold back and hide out when it comes to getting the word out about (i.e. marketing) their heart-centered programs and services. Sadly, the cost of holding back is high for you, the struggling business owner, and for your potential clients who are going un-served as a result. So how do you know if you're light is shining brightly? How do you know if you're subconsciously holding back in your marketing, even if you think you're doing enough? Here's a simple litmus test you can use... Is your practice full?r

Living in joy, having peace of mind, money, health, employment, love, romance, wholeness, healing and worth are all available to each of us. Especially when the perception of ourselves is large enough to embody all these states of being. Far too often your energy is sucked up by fear, stress, worry, feeling inadequate, past drama, resisting challenging, questioning if you're enough, self-doubt, pain and searching for love. This is a small self-perception that is accessible from living life on the surface.

Labor Day weekend always seems to come so quickly, doesn’t it? For children enjoying a summer break, for beach combers still searching for that one, brilliant shell to add to their collection and for those of us who relish a leisurely walk through our neighborhoods in the cool of the early evening, the inevitable approach of fall is always a day early. Labor Day itself, set aside to honor the workers that keep our country running, is a noble way to complete the season known for relaxation. This weekend reminds us that work can be more than the way we earn income.

Decades ago, I saw a metaphysical movie that wonderfully illustrates the alchemical power of love. In "The Enchanted Cottage," a homely, self-effacing maid and a blind, crippled war hero fall in love. She blossoms into an attractive, self-confident woman and he into a charming, handsome country gentleman, both happier than ever before. Oliver and Laura ascribe their transformation to the legendary enchanted cottage, but one day, its spell is broken by the pitying comments of

What do you think? You might be pro-religion or anti-religion, but either way you might notice a decline in religious values in America today. This is a spiritual blog and the changes might impact you in some way. This post looks at the decline of religious influence in contemporary America and what it might mean. Didn't the beginning of America go back to pilgrims fleeing religious persecution from an English King? They wanted to do it on their own terms. Let's take it from there.

We live in a material world whose main trait is inertia, which is also one of our main traits. Our physical bodies, as well as our personalities, are naturally submissive to the law of inertia; we’re lazy, more or less.

Do you work hard to avoid the embarrassment of not having enough and making good on your promises? Or...do you work hard because there's so much of life to experience and you want it all? Reputation, or self-satisfaction. What the Joneses think, or the merit of your inclinations. The ...

I learned about energy healing by receiving healings from a practitioner. When I tried to find my horse's chakras, I took my first steps to becoming a healer myself. Finding the chakras on my horse, Echo, was easy for me. Echo became my first client. Energy work, energy healing, pranic ...

Stop for a moment right now and think of something that happened in your past that you still carry some regrets about. Perhaps it's a botched relationship, a job that you lost, a business that failed or a business you failed to start, an accident you either caused or one that affected you, etc. You can also complete this exercise by thinking back to something pleasant that you experienced, such as falling in love, getting a promotion, or having a wonderful time on vacation.

Throughout history, shamans and other wise men and women of knowledge have possessed the power to journey deep within to tap the universal source of information and wisdom. Shamans have always known that the answers we seek can be found within. Bypassing the stumbling blocks of the outer, material world, they perfected techniques of accessing higher mind levels to find answers, gain insights and achieve profound understandings. WHY JOURNEY? The shamanic journey is a technique

Krishna Jayanthi Lord Krishna is considered to be the Lord's most glorious incarnations. Even saying and remembering His name brings joy because Sri Krishna himself was a manifestation of joy at all levels and in all walks of life. No other God in the Hindu pantheon, or for that matter in any other religion, is associated with so many romantic tales and so fully radiating with all the divine attributes as Sri Krishna. Krishna Janmashtami is also known as Janmashtami, is a yea

What is the message you would tell the world, if you had only 5-10 minutes? How do you condense a lifetime of lessons, wisdom and growth into such a short window? Obviously, you would have to write everything down, prioritize and edit, until you had a gem, highly polished and ready for public viewing.

There's the story of the girl in the marching band. At one July 4th parade as her marching band arrived in front of the large crowd gathered on Main St, the girl spotted her mother in the crowd. The proud girl then yelled to her mother, "Look Mom, I'm the only one in step!" Many of us have ...

I started my martial arts training under Steve Bab an accomplished ‘Lao Gar’ martial artist. Then one day my training partner came to class with excited talk of another Kung Fu class in the area. So along we went the next week to check it out. This system seemed to incorporate many more training regimes and we decided to give it a go as well.

Today, I want to share with you three amazing eating rituals that you can incorporate into your daily life. When practiced with love, consciousness and intent, they will surely change your relationship to food and your overall outlook towards yourself and all that surrounds you. In order to apply these rituals, our understanding of food, nutrition, and eating must undergo a radical upgrade, as we are called to become alchemists in daily life in order to transcend the many layers of density that we have created through our social programming.

The term "Universal Law(s)" is often bandied about in New Age and Metaphysical circles, yet I am also often asked by students, "What does Universal Law mean? What are the Laws?" "Universal Law" is a term applied to principles that describe how the Universe (or at least our experience ...

My teenage daughter had a book report due last week. She selected the book the first week of school and was so excited to read it. The book has over 800 pages. I raised my eyebrows when she first told me because although she enjoys reading she is not a voracious reader. For her that is a lot of pages; to be honest, for me that would be a lot of pages as well!

To say that the Bible is simple, would be incorrect. However, I do believe that there are passages that are simple to understand. This is good news for our preschoolers. There are a ton of great Bible verses we can share with our little ones and Psalm 100:3 is one of them. This Scripture says: “Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us and we are His. We are His people, the sheep of His pasture.” That’s Christianity 101, right there in a nutshell. Here is a fun Bible school activity you can play with your preschoolers to help them learn the 5 important parts of this verse.

Would you like to feel more love in your life? Divine love is not a limited, restricted love but an all encompassing pure and radiant expression of creation. Divine love is the only way to lead a life filled with hope, peace, compassion and love.

The elements of a good read are largely personal, individual to each reader. While a literary story draws one type of reader, the action/adventure draws another. Tastes and needs differ. This is why there are so many genres in fiction, so many categories in nonfiction. Take for example the ...

What is ceremony? And what is ritual? Are they the same thing? In some circles, these are two, distinct activities. In others, they are interchangeable. Still in others, there is only confusion. We look in the big dictionary, the three-pounder, and what we read there we could swap one for ... What is ceremony? And what is ritual? Are they the same thing? In some circles, these are two, distinct activities. In others, they are interchangeable. Still in others, there is only confusion.

Everyone has heard that survival of the fittest is what drives evolution. We have not only heard it but believed it. We now know this is not true, but will have a hard time letting go of the original idea that was nothing more than a disproven theory. We will probably hang on to it not only because it is an accepted idea that most people believe, but also because it supports a self-serving attitude and egocentric orientation to life. It implies that it is more important to excel and to dominate others than to be cooperative.

It's no secret that our financial system is collapsing in the country and that the world in general is in turmoil today. A lot of people are in fear for their survival, and that is perfectly understandable. When our survival is threatened our fight or flight mechanism comes into play just as it has since the beginning of the human race. It is why we're still around today as a species.

Brett Favre, quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, announced his retirement this week. At a news conference yesterday his simple explanation for the move was that he was tired. At thirty-eight and possessing graying hair, Favre and his family have been through multiple tragedies and upheavals ...

The Thanksgiving holiday is fast approaching. As such, this is traditionally a time for reflection and for the giving of thanks for all that we have in our lives. Unfortunately, our modern day interpretation has been muddled a bit. With all the football games blasting on the television sets, as well as the never ending sea of food that fills our stomachs until we can no longer button up our pants, it's no wonder we have lost site of what this holiday is really about.

We can heal this world. We can begin by healing ourselves. Others will follow the example. It is time to give up fighting and to start realizing that some people are just sick, sad souls, not knowing the process of life. Be at peace, and know that the Great Spirit is cheering for each one of ...

Have you ever had the feeling that something was not quite right, but you couldn't explain why? Or maybe you just felt the urgency to do something without being able to rationalise the sensing? YES, you have? Well that is your intuition, or as it is often referred to, 'the inner voice'. Other terminologies that may be more familiar to you are: gut feeling, hunch, presentiment, sixth sense etc. I know that some women try to ignore or suppress this precious gift, because it is often looked upon as being 'irrational', stupid or simply labelled as 'hysterics'.

It is truly inspiring to witness, through this and similar magazines and expos around the globe, how many diverse and exciting approaches there are to healing. Yet beyond the differences, the specialties, the variety of emphases on physical, emotional spiritual or general healing, there are three basic principles of which both client and practitioner should be aware. First principle: Nobody heals anybody else. A healer is one who facilitates an individual’s own self-healing. Primary responsibility is always with the person seeking healing.r

You may want to change your money story because of how you model your parent’s view of money and abundance. You may not realize that you may also be in resistance to your parents way of acting out with money and that may be affecting how you attract money in your life now. How your parents treated you Do you remember how your parents treated you or each other when comes to money this may be the key to changing your financial story because it has been holding you back from achieving your goal.

Your mouth goes dry. You start sweating. Your heart hammers. Your legs feel weak. The English language suddenly seems as foreign to you as ancient hieroglyphics. Are you at the dentist's office? Did you find out you owe money to the IRS? Are you going crazy? Maybe a bit. You're a shy person who's looking for love – and who's also terrified of finding it. So sit down, get out the smelling salts and consider some of these tips for wrestling shyness to the mat and getting on with your love life. Narrow the playing field

“Body and mind are one.… The body is the actual outward manifestation, in physical space, of the mind.” ~Candance B. Perth Today, I want to share with you some reflections that came up after a short trip this past weekend. As many of you know, my “formal professional” studies revolved around both clinical and holistic nutrition. Not many people are aware about my passion for evolution and consciousness, which is why people usually ask me questions about nutrition. I know many of you may have the same questions, which is the reason why I’m sharing this story today….r

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 ...

When we embark ourselves in marriage, we embark ourselves in the most meaningful partnership of our lives. Like all relationships, this partnership requires a continuous and mutual exchange of energy and, because of the nature and depth of emotions involved, communication and choices based on ...When we embark ourselves in marriage, we embark ourselves in the most meaningful partnership of our lives.r

Everything is changing. We are changing. Things that we once believed are changing and the time has come to re-evaluate everything we have come to believe. To be truthful, anywhere separation exists is a place for us to take a closer look … for wherever separation is taught … is a place where ...

• Preparations for the Festival and Easing of Light Body Symptoms I am Angel Gabriel and I greet you with the words OMAR TA SATT. At this time of the energies many of you are being prepared. Particularly those who will go to the Festival of Love soon. You have gone into the intention and have given the high lights the permission to prepare you for this Festival.

With two powerful words in the title, I have to start by defining what I mean by spirituality and healing. Let me define spirituality not with words, but with experiential situations. First, in spirituality something greater than your conditioned ego controls your heart. That means your thoughts and past conditioning don’t limit the expression of your heart. Just think of the quality of love shared in a spiritual moment. Your love for the people in your life exists without an

I've worked with a lot of master champions. Some have mastered a sport. Some had a skill like ballet. Some have mastered a musical talent or instrument but some of them master everything. They do that by mastering life. They become enlightened. To be in the presence of such a being is to me the epitome of life. There is nothing more exciting, calming, rewarding, clarifying, and intriguing than to talk with a master. You are talking on a direct line to God. When you first look for the love in anyone, you are really looking for God.
