We've all heard the saying... "Know the truth and the truth shall set you free." But I'm willing to bet, you haven't REALLY heard it. Here's the thing: If you find yourself stuck in a job you don't want, a marriage that is unfulfilling or out of sync, or a home life that leaves you empty, you ...

I turned 50 years old last night, the fourth night of Chanukah. Debbie had presented me with a list of extravagant gluten-free desserts and offered to make the one of my choice. Having difficulty with decisions regarding Debbie’s treats, I told her that for such an important birthday, it would only be proper for her to make all of the desserts offered. I was joking, kind of, but Debbie as always, generous beyond measure, agreed to make all of them and to invite a few of my

In this day and age many people are disillusioned with modern medicine. They find that practitoners are only treating symptoms instead of getting to the core of the issue. Most of us know that the core of the issue can be tracked back to the mental and physical health of the person. How do we find the core? A new concept is opening doors for many people. This concept is called a personalized retreat. Such retreats are built specifically to address the needs of the individual, couples, and small groups. See the November issue of Delta Sky Magazine to learn about four such retreats.

What do you think the word ‘Self’ really means?rnDoes it refer to my personality? My body? my name? or something else?rnLet’s analyze this a bit… When I say, “This is my watch”, I am a separate entity and the watch is a separate entity, isn’t it? Similarly, “this is my body” implies I am separate and the body is separate, right? Whatever I calI as ‘my’, i.e. my personality, my body, my name, etc. – all of these belong to me, but they are not me, they a

In the stores right now they have packages of pre-made madras curried lentils with rice and beans that are expensive. Here is a healthier organic version, that is much less expensive than buying those precooked packets. And this recipe is great tasting, and will do that body good with all the longevity giving goodness of legumes. Plus it’s very easy to make, and this dish freezes well for later use.

We tend to view everything from our individual ego-standpoint, and as a result, we take difficulties as being our own, as well as any obstacles, setbacks or delays being directly tied to ourselves. We tend to believe that we are either bound by some karmic destiny, or by the astrological pattern of the stars to determine the birth we have taken, the situations we have to endure and the obstacles we have to face, as well as the eventual end result.

Accessing abundance requires that you be consistent in your endeavors, rather than having a few, infrequent, randomly spaced, quality events. To be consistent in your endeavors to access abundance, you need to help yourself be successful by having an awareness of the areas needing change. Where ...

So many people these days are searching for a spiritual path. Each of us is motivated by our own particular dissatisfactions, but the real motivation is the same: we crave to reduce our suffering and enhance our happiness. Suddenly, we wake up one morning with a new path in our life; it can be Buddhism, Kabala, Sufism, New-Age traditions, or anything else. There is often a whole new community of people indulging in our newfound interest, and another world is suddenly availabl

We all want to feel happy and at peace, but somehow we aren't able to feel that way all the time. One day, everything seems to be going just right - you get a promotion at work, your love life is blossoming, and your health is perfect. The next day, you're fired, you break up with your partner, and you get the flu. In short, both bad and good things come to us from all directions. nn Kabbalah explains that there's a way to see beyond all these "chance occurrences" and to feel

I'd like to present to you the second extract from my novel Redemption, where AI buddy Rob helps Ann understand the concept of reinca ation and confirm the existence of her past lives. ***** “You appear to have missed your turn again, gorgeous.” Startled out of her daydream, Ann glanced across at her E-A device, sitting in its holder on the dashboard. Rob waved to her from the screen, the background image showing a brutal landscape full of hairy humanoid figures. “You should’ve taken a right back there,” he added, helpfully, “if you were hoping to get home, that is.”

Grabbing some cereal in the morning or a hurried toast and glass of milk is a common morning meal for most people. Most people's morning are really hectic and eating a good hearty breakfast is not really a priority on the list. In fact, , most people forget that they need to eat anything and just gulp coffee. Hunger pangs are forgotten and stomach rumblings do not even reach your own ears. Then by lunchtime, you are super hungry and binge on greasy food. Then, there is a huge

As a teacher of how to use one's mind to manifest the things a person wants, I very often get the objection, "But what if what I want isn't what the Universe, my Higher Self, wants for me?" My response is, "Why wouldn't the Universe want the best that you can imagine for yourself? Your Higher Self is in you, around you, thinking through you." Most people still have the old idea of the Universe, God, as a wise old man, sitting on a throne, doling out good to us a little at a t

Can we really leave it up to the "powers that be" to sort out peace on earth? I think not. We have to realize that we are the "powers that be" that make the difference. Article 1 of a 6 part series.nnAs there are silent depths in the ocean, which the fiercest storm cannot reach, so there are silent, holy depths in the heart of man which the storms of confusion and sorrow can never disturb. To reach this silence and to live consciously in it is peace.nnHatred severs human live

During times of storms and cyclones those trees that stand arrogantly upright very often get uprooted but those trees that bend down generally are saved easily. Certain plants and creepers during storms manage to sustain because as per changing times they mend their ways. Whenever storms manifest in particular direction they too bend in that direction. No doubt no compromise can be made with respect to giving up of ideals. Sins cannot be encouraged yet wherever we err without

You can have what you want in life, but you must align yourself first with your desire. There is only one way to do it, and that is by matching the vibration. The good things in life have a high vibration, and if you want to get them, you must vibrate in the same way. You can't attract great opportunities when you are feeling down and depressed. Only when you are excited and motivated, amazing things start happening in your life. There are several ways to raise your vibration

Do you ever find it difficult to trust loving another because of past hurts or betrayals? Do you wonder if risking your heart may not be worth the possible loss and pain? n To put our faith and trust in another whether it is romantic, family, friendship or the opening to a stranger is the greatest gift we can give to another. It is also the most blessed level of soul opening and connection that enriches our own lives. But it can only be birthed from the release of fear and da

Everything in existence owes its existence to a life force current, or spirit, that animates its existence. The same energy that causes my heart to beat is causing your heart to beat. The same innate intelligence that is directing the movement of every atom, molecule and cell of your body, is also directing the movement of every being, planet, star and galaxy. And the same volition that is compelling me to write these words for you to read has moved you to read them. Shakti

Destruction is the cleansing aspect of the transformation cycle. It is a changing of the old that makes room for the new. Spiritual destruction flows from universal consciousness and is integrated into our actions and intent by the way that we would choose to evolve ourselves and the planet that we interact with.nnThere has not been a single consciousness on this planet that sought change that did not also embrace destruction.nnGautama the Buddha created destruction when he c

“Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.” - Brené Brown The Master was never impressed by diplomas or degrees. He scrutinised the person, not the certificate. He was once heard to say, "When you have ears to hear a bird in song, you don't need to look at its credentials." The passage from Anthony De Mello’s book, One Minute Wisdom underscores the message that brilliance always seeks its own path to reveal itself.

“And Guided Meditations are NOT for Long-Term Use” As of late, I’ve had many people come to me who have been listening to some very expensive guided meditation that they bought… and they have become very depressed. The truth of the matter is that all these guided meditations are not true meditation in any way, shape, or form… not even close. What is True Meditation? Meditation is about slowing down the mind to the point that there is nothing going on and the mind goes into a deep state of rest. That only happens with T M meditation and Vipassana meditation.

“Great for Pain, Anti-inflammatory, Antibacterial… and Much More”

I mentioned in part 1 that when we are rejected we have to deal not only with the emotional pain but also the conclusions and beliefs that may get stuck in our thinking. Everyone has been conditioned by life and have taken on many beliefs, some of which serve us while some don’t. When something painful happens we tend to automatically use it as evidence that our limiting belief is true and we end up with a second level of pain caused by believing that is the truth about us.

"Let the beauty we love be what we do." Rumi We all do it at various stages of life. We work. We spend much of our life in an activity we call work. This is often simply a means to an end. It is a function we perform in order to have certain things that we want. Many of us identify with our ...

In his unfailingly interesting and often brilliant, "The Act of Creation," Arthur Koestler understands breakthrough ideas in science and art as something that happens exclusively in the mind. In the early 1990s, Kevin Dunbar, a McGill University psychologist determined that the ground zero of innovation is not the lone scientist peering into his microscope, or the mind. It's the environment. The story of Genesis is one of movement, not environment, fostering innovation. Yet t

Over the past twenty years, dumbbells have been a wonderful tool that have enabled me to help many beautiful people while leading group exercise classes or conducting one-on-one personal training.

While working with the physical aspect of an individual has been very gratifying, I hav

Some call it the “Morphogenetic Field”, some call it the greater “Mind Field” or simply the “Field”, I call it the “Field Of Blessings”. Regardless of what it is called, it is a palpable energy Field. Most of us know someone for whom life seems to work, at least most of the time. Those fortunate few who seem to be so blessed. We wonder why, what is their secret? The secret is they are plugged into the Field. When we align ourselves, plug into this energetic Field, we too can

We all begin our lives with a lot of hope for the future. In this game of life some people reach their goals and end up satisfied that they have made the best use of their existence on earth, and others die in frustration. The difference between success and failure is often in having proper information and guidance about what should be done and what should not be done. So, what is the information and guidance that can make the difference between ultimate success and failure?

Debt keeps you trapped for years if not for life when you do not have a plan of action to get out. Men feel a sense of shame with debt for not being able to provide for their family and women fears for the family in general. One of the major causes of break up in families is debts, money problems. How did you get here?

There is a saying: "We are what we eat". Unfortunately, not every person understands the deeper meaning of this phrase. We compare ourselves to the people around us, and we encounter folks who have different eating patterns. Time after time, we wonder why people with bad habits live longer than do those who watch what they eat. To understand this from the Western philosophy point of view is practically impossible. For example, the logic of Western medicine is that food consists of calories, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and relatively recently discovered vitamins.

The spiritual principle of Oneness states in effect that, at a fundamental level, literally everything in the Universe is connected to everything else. This is not merely some idealistic spiritual tenet; rather it has been an accepted scientific fact ever since Albert Einstein and other prominent physicists first established that the atom was not creation's lowest common denominator. According to Deepak Chopra in his book "How to Know God":

I, Kryon, will bring you messages of change. I have been chosen to speak to you through Sangitar.

Life these days is very demanding and stressful. If you are like most people, you are working hard to survive and still you feel unhappy, like you don't have enough time to get everything done, thus your life becomes stressful. Stress makes you tired and causes frustration and unhappiness. It can even affect your health. The solution comes from the spiritual world and is called meditation. A few minutes of meditation every day can drive stress away and boost your self-esteem. It can also give you a feeling of completion and fulfillment.

Q. Can affirmations change my life? A. When we wake from the world of form, for some time the process can be very messy. The ego structure is now stronger than ever because it is unraveling the word of form - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Everything during a period of post-awakening (which can last for years) is extremely vivid and extremely intense for this reason. Highs and lows are extreme.
