Human Consciousness: Permanent Center of Our Soul

An atom is the subtle form of the cosmos. Its central portion represents the sun of our universe. Electrons revolve around the nucleus (sun) just as planets revolve around the sun of our solar system. Just as infinite space exist outside the periphery of the solar system so too there is a lot of space present in the atom. Between various solar systems of the cosmos there exists ample and optimum space separating each of them. Similarly there are varied differences in the cent

Sleep Your Way to a Stress Free Life

How many hours of sleep do you usually pack in a day? Is it tempting to pack more work in a day and skip few hours of sleep so that you ultimately have a productive day according to you? Well, it happens to most of us. The first thing that we compromise on is our sleep. We just tend to take it for granted. This is pretty surprising and shocking at the same time because extensive research and studies show that your mind, body and soul need at least 8 hours of sleep daily in or

Conquering the Mid-Life Crisis

Mid-life wake-up call rnWe have come to accept a mid-life crisis as a natural phase of life. This critical period in a person’s life may include such feelings as discontentment, boredom, restlessness, wanting complete change, confusion about identity or life direction, and questioning prior decisions or the meaning of life. Do you think such a critical transition would be as commonplace, even expected, if we were all tuned into our innate nature and living our lives in full

How You Evolve

Human beings have been evolving for millions of years. In the last few decades we have evolved considerably: growing taller, living longer and developing greater brain density. The last part of our brain to develop is the area at the top of the head, and in this space, the crown of your skull, is where the frontal and temporal lobes reside. It is in this part of your brain that the latent memory of who you are and why you were born is stored. This part of your brain is the se

Purity

For one to become pure in this world, one must first attain the knowledge of the Soul. The Soul, by nature, is absolutely and completely pure, and our real true identity is nothing but ‘Soul’. Yes, we are really a Pure Soul, indeed! However, the Soul remains in a dormant stage until the Enlightened being, who has experienced the Soul and has the ability to make others experience the same, connects us with our true form!!! When we acquire Self-Realization, we grasp the und

Staying Connected

The Universal Spirit has become you, embarking on a great journey to experience and enjoy this magnificent universe from your unique perspective. Remembering your connection wit

Where Do You Place Your Loyalty?

In the United States we just celebrated our nation’s birthday and Independence Day. In other countries as well there is national pride. Just wait until the Olympics come around and we will all be rooting for our individual countries. Is there anything wrong with national pride? What about loyalty to the place you work? Can there ever be too much loyalty? Let’s see what the Bible says about where our loyalties lay. Peter and the apostles in Acts were being told by religiou

Trust

Learning to trust continues to be one of the most challenging spiritual practices of my life. A long time ago, when I was a boy, I clearly remember making the choice to trust people I met. When I was young, friends seemed rare and precious. I felt fortunate to be able to call even one person a true friend. Today, I am blessed with many friends, and they are deeply precious to my heart. What's changed for me is that instead of trusting people to do what I want them to do, I tr

Your Trusted Higher Self

How is it that so many of us have been denied our power for so long? Many of you do not even know what I am referring to as it has been so long since we were fully connected. Many more of you know something is missing or so says the whisper of the little voice inside your head. We started out enlightened and then moved quickly into ignorance or so the story goes. We worked together as one tribe and knew to survive we must stick together. Where did those enlightened and cooper

Step into Your Dreams

Whether you’re starting out or a season veteran, following your dreams remains an elusive yet fulfilling quest. Ask any person who has traded their career to follow an endless dream and they’ll advise you they have not worked a single moment in pursuit of their passion. Yet for many, chasing one’s dream may be filled with fear and intrepidation. The fear of the unknown is stifling to some. For others, placing trust in a universe that rarely interacts with them can be soul-destroying.

Practice Daily Self Care

Practice daily self care as an essential way to honor your body, your mind, your emotions and to honor your spirit. It is imperative that you practice daily self care in order to live a balanced life. We are spirit beings in physical form and we need to take good care of ourselves on all levels. When we practice daily self care the act of loving others becomes easier without taking from your life force energy. Nurturing others is more organic and flows when we care for ourselves daily.

RAISING YOUR VIBRATION

“Creating” (allowing) miracles requires willingness and faith; however, I must confess, most miracles have their roots in desperation. Let’s be real. We spin around, not thinking clearly so much of the time. If we don’t “hit the wall,” we don’t work on improving things. That method doesn’t have to be necessary, but it is typical. As I matured, my life evolved. I was no longer experiencing significant disappointments since I gave up my intense agendas. I was no longer a victim because I gave up blaming others for my circumstances. I learned not to judge others harshly because:

Loving Yourself

Loving Yourself The way I have always understood about loving yourself is loving your body, your face, your personality, etc. I have always thought that I loved myself but every spiritualist kept saying no. I could not understand it and thought maybe because I am overweight. That is part of it but the secret that no one realizes is that it has to do with following your path in life.

Connecting To Your Spirit with a Spiritual Life Coach

A Spiritual Life Coach is involved with Spirit as well as with issues in normal life. Your Spirit is with you and cannot be totally separated from the rest of your being. It cannot be stolen from you, nor can you split it off when you do not like a response that you receive from your spiritual nature. Maybe you were never taught to nurture your Spirit. How might we define spirit? It is our higher essence which is found primarily in the seventh chakra (top of head). It is that

Four Ways to Teach the Truths that Transform the World

(Excerpted from "Let Go and Live in the Now" -- Red Wheel/Weiser, 2004: 850 words) nnWe human beings are born with an indefinable longing to grow beyond ourselves, to penetrate and illuminate the mysterious depths of our own heart. The ideal and pursuit of perfection is literally seeded into our soul; it pervades our very being.

The Evolution Series

Who Or What Is God?

Let's face it: the truth is the only time any of us will absolutely know for certain who or what God really is, is when we finally leave this planet, moving on to the next dimension. For centuries mystics have reported that the reality of God is truly unknowable. Nonetheless, throughout recorded history men and women have shared their opinions and viewpoints about the essence of God, the Creator, the All-That-Is, and so on.

Why Is It We All Tend to Act like We're “Judge Judies?"

"The tendency on the part of human beings to "judge" (i.e., label, criticize, condemn, and so on) plays a significant role in fostering separation among people. For whatever reason, our minds have what appears to be a natural inclination to pass judgment on people, places, situations, etc. While no one wants to be considered judgmental, as this description carries a very negative connotation, the fact is everyone does judge. It is essentially impossible to completely avoid making judgments, for nearly every one of our thoughts has some judgment associated with it.

Tonight while dancing around my condo listening to 50 Cent, I thought about the correlation between happiness and spirit.
