Delays can be De-Light-Filled, Delightful Living in an instant gratification society we often find delays frustrating. Many of us carry devices that give us instant information, instant connection to others and instant news of the day. The idea of finding delight in any sort of delay is beyond our patience.r

As we have just passed the end of another glorious year of life and adventure we are presented again with the opportunity to make a decision as to the way we choose to perceive our life's circumstances. Every day our mind judges and qualifies each moment of our lives. Either life measures up ...

Sometimes the winds of change blow through my life and it seems as though everything is crumbling. When that happens here is what I usually do. TRY TO FIX IT First I try my best to run around and pick up the pieces thinking I will just put everything back in their original shape. Right! DENY ...

Performing sacred ceremonies creates enormous power, focusing thoughts, emotions and intentions; stimulating and energizing cosmic energy and the person performing the ritual or sacred ceremony.

How we look is so important in this culture. How we look becomes how we see ourselves. The image in the mirror seems like who we are. We carry that image around with us inside our heads, and when we think of me, we think of that image. We have many self-images, and our inner image of what we look like is perhaps the strongest. We are most identified with that self-image because identification with the body is so strong and because the mind needs something to pin the idea of me on.

Naturally when I first started having visions of those in spirit, I thought is was my imagination. But as the years went by and I had more and more visions, and people understood that these visions were of people they had known and had since passed on, I began to believe that my visions were truly spiritual visions of those in eternal life. But I took a long time to come to that conclusion. For me this was very important.nnIf today, lights started flashing off and on in my ki

A common problem that everyone faces is feeling like their life is spinning out of control. This is usually a result of not living in congruency to what matters most to us. Most of the culprit is the challenge of balancing your work and personal life. I visualize a car heading in a direction and then finding that one of its wheels is losing air. Life coaching is all about airing up all the tires. The quick fix on getting back on track is to do some internal investigation into where the source of the leak lies.

I recently visited a meeting on a topic of interest primarily to men. Out of 30 attendees, only 4 women attended. When a female acquaintance joined me at my table, she noted the few women at the meeting and said she thought the odds were good she’d find a man to connect with since the subject matter was of mutual interest. After a few minutes of scanning the room, she sighed and said that although the room was filled with men, she found none of them suited her.

The New Earth exists within you right now. In order to experience a New Earth you must align with its “high” vibrational frequency. Enlightenment is simply alignment with the new earth. Here are 10 easy techniques to help you accomplish this: 1. Trust that you will always be looked after. Act ...

Mystic Healing Art is a profound instrument of meditation and abstraction, that takes us to a mystical experience, clearly defined, in which we learn to see that other spaces and times exist inside us. When we change the reference of the superior reality, then, we realize that this reality is ...

Beginners who want to learn how to meditate effectively often come across a variety of meditation techniques that can leave them feeling frustrated and confused. There are variations in how long you need to meditate, whether you need to sit in a certain posture, what to do to still your mind and what to do with your breath while you're in that posture, and what kinds of results to expect and when to expect them.

WHO AM I ? It seems cliché to say the most important question you will ever ask yourself is “Who am I ?” It is the question that has led to a thousand self help books yet do we ever have the courage to sit naked in the truth of our identity?

Spiritual awakening is basically reached as one comprehends the world where people are living in as the place much better than the way other people comprehend it. It is, in this sense, as one improves on their consciousness and gets increasingly aware of how things are around them. This is the reason why people need to realize why they need to obtain a spirit awakened rather than swamping into materialistic and worldly desires. If the spirit is awakened, one can actually get

The egoic mind is the cause of suffering. Nothing more. Suffering only happens in response to a thought. We suffer because we think something about what is happening, what happened, or what might happen. We create a story about what is, what was, or what will be; then we suffer over it. We particularly suffer over fears, which are negative ideas about the future, although any idea can cause suffering if it is believed.

These Biblical parenting tips will provide the keys your family needs to overcome the battles facing you every day. Don't Start A Home Without Them. We'll show you how to get started. Before we get started, let me ask you a question. What's the first thing or image that comes to your mind when I say the word "parent"?

It may be time for an attitude adjustment, and Biblical parenting has the answer you are looking for.

A Channeled Message for March 2012 has been received by me. I would like to share it with you here. "Be who you already are - a Divine being of Love and Light. No need to work at becoming at-one with God. You are already at-one. The challenge for you is to remember the truth of your being. I AM. All else follows from there. Remember who you are - LOVE made manifest in flesh." Channeled by Maureen painting by my niece http://lorrainebrennan.com/s5painting4.html Meditation

Healthy caregiving is a loving, energetic exchange in which we are the conduits for light force energy. This exchange results in a positive energy flow first to ourselves and then to others through the heart center. As a true caregiver, we can open our heart compassionately in healthy detachment and maintain a positive flow of energy with the other person without suffering with them. This compassionate detachment keeps us from taking things "to heart" which can stress the heart center, resulting in physical and emotional distress or depression.

God said: What is the good of anything without love? What is the good of the most beautiful mansion without people of love in it? What is the good of a most beautiful diamond ring without a beloved's hand to put it on? What is the use of anything without love? What is the use? What is the use of teachers without love? What is the use of children getting A's without love in their hearts for knowledge? When and how was it that love became forgotten? Or, if not forgotten, shu

Willingness is a Beginning Willingness is the courage to go on faith -- with or without proof. The willingness to learn makes it possible to acquire knowledge. The willingness to know creates the opportunity to understand. The willingness to accept I have a problem is the beginning of the solution. When I am willing to admit I have a problem, I can realize a truth. I may not know exactly what it is, but I am now aware a problem exists. I cannot solve a problem when I do n

Belief in God: (Or not?) A friend of mine told me he was an Atheist. I asked him what that meant. He said: "It means I don't believe in God." I asked him: "What do you mean by God?" He said: "A divine being who created the world and who judges us." I responded: "I don't believe in that god either, but I'm not an Atheist. When someone asks me: "Do you believe in God?" It doesn't compute. It's like asking me if I believe in that tree. God is obvious to me, not something I need to believe or not believe in.

“GRATITUDE is the GIFT of being thankful….In living an Abundant Life, giving this GIFT becomes the prayer of the heart that opens your life to the riches contained in it.” (from my book 5 GIFTS for an Abundant Life: Create a Consciousness of Wealth)

Living Under Higher Laws A wonderful phenomenon occurs as you evolve self. You begin to live under a new set of laws. This new set of laws is called the laws of the Divine, or the laws of the Higher Self. As Divine laws vibrate at a high frequency, when living under the laws of the Divine your ...

Despite the pain it elicits, loss teaches us about the delicate balance, intensity, and richness of life. We cannot experience the pain of loss without first having experienced the joys associated with what has been lost. In the movie Shadowlands, poet Joy Gresham, in speaking about her impending death to author C. S. Lewis, expresses, "The greater the love, the deeper the sorrow and the longer it will take to work through it. That's the deal." The heartbreak that wounds us most deeply eventually leads us to greater enlightenment, blessing our lives with a more spiritual depth of life.

Few of us ever escape the chains of our reality and see beyond the forms before us. We mire in our knowledge and all the things we gather to us, forming a shell that hardens with time. For me I have seen past it only a few times and always in the strangest of ways.

It’s become more and more apparent to me lately that I’m a child of the 80's. I may have been born in the late 60's but my high school and college years spanned the full spectrum, 1981-1989. Not only do I remember the Reagan years as the “all about me” years but I can hear just about any 80's tune and know precisely where I was and who I was hanging out with at the time of it’s release.

Few of us look forward to confrontation. When we have “issues” with someone our energy has become strained or “jammed up.” We often feel the energy between us and this person has become a battleground and confronting them feels like we’re heading into battle. And ...

If you ever hear yourself saying that there are simply not enough hours in the day, it can pay great dividends to use your sleeping time to be creative. It’s estimated that we dream for roughly half our 7 to 8 hours of sleep. By using simple and repeatable techniques, we can seed, remember and interpret our dreams. What’s more, the quality of the inspiration we get in our dreams can lead us to enlightenment that is difficult to get to when we are awake and our conscious mind is active.

You are a center of influence. You are a nucleus. Everything you think, feel, say, and do has a ripple effect. Your effect ripples outward and affects the world. You affect the people in your life--in your family, in your workplace, in your community--you have an effect. Unfortunately, most ...

Are speculations over how time might have begun and what happens to our consciousness after the body dies really the most pressing of spiritual issues? Isn't how we embrace the present moment far more critical to our growth and our ability to contribute to the world? For centuries religion has prospered largely on the premise of offering "answers" to the questions of how life began and what happens when the body dies.

Last week I returned from Southeast Asia and an opportunity of a lifetime. I spent 14 days traveling on the Irrawaddy River by riverboat, 600 miles into the remote center of Myanmar (Burma). This is a land frozen in time. There is no internet access, no cell phones or land lines. Cars are only found in the larger cities where they are used as taxis. You can’t use your credit card because Myanmar is not connected to the world’s banking system.

10 Ways To Open Your Heart Why would someone even want to open their heart? An open heart offers us so many possibilities and a connection to the Creator that is our birthright. It is actually a more natural state of being. Life is simply more full when your heart is open and you are most able to bring the things you love and desire into your life. Be it financial success, loving relationships, knowing and acting upon your true calling, etc…you feel all around more fulfilled.

A friend of mine is working towards enlightenment (an oxymoron, I know, but just follow the story here). She meditates every day, trying to clear her mind and be in the moment. She’s very good at it. So good, in fact, that she’s discovered one thing they don’t talk about much in spiritual studies: enlightenment is boring. Boring, that is, to our Western mind that gets engaged in the process of getting somewhere (enlightenment), then forgets that it is often the journey,

We tend to focus on what we can see and it sure appears as if we are separate from each other and our environment. Yet we are more than we seem. Many of us know this from direct experience. We have glimpsed another reality in which we are all interconnected through the one seamless whole that animates all life and cloaks us in abundance, beauty and divine love. This other reality feels more real to us. It also feels good, because it evokes in us love, compassion and awe, emotions that are directly linked to our wellbeing.

Saturn — The Most Dreaded Planet Of The Solar System On the off chance that there's one consider one's natal graphs that should be dreaded, then it's the impact of the terrible Saturn or Shani. A yagya or homa summoning the planet on Shani Jayanthi keeps every single terrible sign away. It is said that the repulsive planet was conceived in the Jyeshta or Vaigasi (Tamil) month on an Amavasya or new moon day. This year it falls on 25th May, 2017. Saturn makes a large portion

Slaying Dragons nnWhen I was a boy reading the stories of "The Knights of the Round Table" and other adventure tales of knights, ladies, and evildoers, my friends and I were inspired and spent many afternoons playing heroes and villains. In the woods of our backyards we went on many daring excursions, faced serpents with crested heads, and dark and wily villains, and emerged victorious. Knights and dragons are primary themes in our Western heritage. The power of these stories

I get a snapshot of world events from the things I experience as I move through each day: captions in newspapers and on magazine stands, conversations on Facebook, clips on the radio or on YouTube, and through the atmospheric vibratio I touch in my daily meditation practice. I know that there have been clouds of dissension in the ethers for some time. I can see them in the media and sense them in the unseen. Over the past decade, our world has been struggling with increased local and global unrest as well as greater natural disasters.

There was a Unitarian Christian minister and professor who once said that everyone believes in some type of God, whether they think of God as a big person in the sky, a power, or whatever. He said that when you found what they fought for, argued about, and died for, you had their God. In his ...

Yes, we are living in a world where we are constantly shown, by the media, man's inhumanity toward each other through violence, terrorism, and war. Never has there been a time that our light is more needed than now. During this powerful time in history we, as a group of conscious beings, actually can shift the awareness of the planet. The soul work we are doing has prepared us perfectly for this precise moment. Our voices, actions and intentions will inspire and heal so many.

Have you ever caught yourself being propelled back to a specific time in your past and suddenly a mental snapshot brings back forgotten feelings or emotions… as real as if you were still there? It is as if although much time may have passed between that past event and today, between the person you were then and the person you have become now, that memory still has a strong hold on you.

What does the popular phrase ‘Set your mind to it’ really mean? Perhaps looking within will help... (Doesn’t it always?) If you think of your mind as a gigantic compass and your current emotion as its magnetized needle you’ll understand that how you’re feeling is one of the most sophisticated ...

I first went to see Dr. P because I had a pain in my leg, now I go to him because he helps me pay attention to what my body says and needs. Let me explain.

We were all placed here on this earth for a plan and a purpose. However, we do not always feel like that. In fact, I had been a Christian many years before I even realized God had a plan and purpose for my life. I was just an ordinary person, doing ordinary things. Then one glorious day, God ...
