rnJust the other day we discovered a glitch in the system of receiving my husband’s paycheck. Actually the glitch has been going on for some time now. He broke his foot 4 months ago. Ever since then we have been on work man’s comp. When on work man’s comp you do not get paid what you normally would if you are working full time. We were not sure how things were going to work out. I am here to tell you though that there are blessings in all things. If I did not share this

The sensation of pain can make it seem difficult to let things go. When life hurts, we tend to want to hold on, as if holding onto our pain will somehow make it feel better. The problem is that the opposite is the case: the more we hold on, the more we suffer. The more we cling, the more pain we create.n nSuffering comes because we cannot let pain go. I wrote a while back about learning to be like water, and water always flows. Unfortunately, pain can act as a dam, inhibiting

When you feel disillusioned or depressed, it can seem impossible to change your mood. Happiness can seem like a prize that other people were given and you were cheated out of. It may appear that the circumstances of your life are preventing you from being happy, while someone else’s circumstances allow him or her to be happy. You might be saying to yourself, “If only I had XYZ (more money, better looks, a better job, a family of my own, a different family, a different body…), I would be happy.”

Friends, don’t settle. Raise the bar. You are not making a mistake seeking something higher than gratification of the physical senses. There is nothing boring about peace and joy. Peace simply frees one’s mind for future adventures of the soul. Life always supports us when we pursue something higher.

Fear is an energy that can stop you from moving forward. Not having control of this fear or not knowing when it is going to appear is also devastating. This fear is a feeling that comes over your body and you may feel paralyze to go forward in any which way. Fear does not judge Fear does not ...

Resulting from how the planet operates these days, there's a need for more spirituality. In addition, there are indications that spirituality has grown more predominant as compared to it had been twenty years ago. A lot of this have to do with the reality that individuals are weary of being run tattered by the lures from the society. Many types of the demands on today’s nation try to put on us, mainly because they take away those conditions of isolation which our intellects

Rama Navami Bestows Relief From All ProblemsrnRama Navami is a major Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Rama on the holy land of Ayodhya. Lord Rama is the elder son of King Dasaratha and Queen Kousalya. He was the best of men with a sterling character. The noblest lesson embodied in the Ramayana is the incomparable (supreme) significance of righteousness in the life of each person. Lord Vishnu had taken this incarnation to destroy the demon king Ravana. On the d

No matter how evolved we think ourselves to be there are moments over the course of day and during a lifetime when we feel swamped by the circumstances of our lives. We find ourselves swept along by the currents of what came before and impacted by the actions of others. It may be seemingly ...

My job as a Certified Therapeutic Coach® and facilitator is to guide people to a point where they can choose to live in the moment. A point where they realize that asking “why” or “how” is not important or necessary because they experience both by simply staying present. Often we knowingly or ...

Are you working for your Yoga practice, or is your Yoga practice working for you? A discussion on two different approaches towards asana practice, in hope for a balanced solution Introduction Who’s working for whom? Are you working for your asana or your asana working for you?

I know this cliff very well. I have spent almost 40 years there. Many of the excuses that lie within the vast cave s of this cliff, I probably created. This cliff was formed on the self-imposed limitations of human creation. It stands tall and erect and takes your personal power to feed itself every time the words "I can't" are uttered. On the other side of this cliff is an ocean called "I will". As you stand on the cliffs of "I can't'" you can almost hear the rustling of the ocean waves that carry the energy of your "will".

If you are wondering how to increase your concentration and memory, you're not alone. Several million of people all over the world are under a constant lookout for an answer to this question. Concentration and memory are closely brain functions which are closely intertwined. Without improving your ability to concentrate, enhancing your ability to recall facts and figures can be quite difficult. The good news is that concentration is a skill that everyone can learn and master.

The objectives of the integral yoga cannot be looked at as a short-term ‘sprint’ to the goal, but as a longer-term ‘marathon’ where patience and endurance are of paramount importance. In order to achieve that long-term commitment without flagging of the effort, without discouragement and without burning out and giving up, the seeker needs to achieve a balance in the inner psychological standpoint that forces him to stand back from the ever-changing play of the 3 Gunas, and particularly not to get either wrapped up in the ambitious energy of Rajas, nor the discouragement and torpor of Tamas.

Quite obviously, social networking sites have become one of the best alternatives to share opinion and thoughts with like-minded people. No matter, which remote place you are belonged to, you just need to visit such sites to get established with an opportunity. When it comes to have a discussion on such websites you can’t ignore the importance of a Christian social network , which is primarily dedicated to allowing the internet users to get in touch with a community of like

"You're Robin Rice?" the young, dark-haired woman asked me. We were in line, signing in for an open mike poetry reading at the local bookstore. I'm not exactly a household name, but as I am an author, some people know of my work. Despite my own "off" mood, which had been in a downward spiral ...

The future of the earth lies in our hands, and not only in our hands but in our hearts, our minds, and in the ability that each of us has to contribute to the vast network of light and of consciousness of which we form a part. This network includes every living soul and allows each of us to make more of a contribution to the whole of life than our smaller self would have us believe is possible. Yet, the truth is that each heart and each life makes a difference of immense prop

Research studies have already commenced in Brahmavarchas Research Institute (Shantikunj, Haridwar, Uttaranchal, India, website: www.awgp.org). Deep thinkers in the ream of science and philosophy have joined in this endeavor on a full time basis. It was well nigh impossible to carry out such a gigantic task merely with the help of effort and inner yearning. And yet my subtle preceptor center (Guru Satta) inspired me and gave me necessary help in a big way. In this way the hour

To be a healthy and happy person you have to take part in life, you have to be ready to participate in all things that make life worth living. Health is an important part of life, maintaining balance is another part of life and having vision and peace of mind completes the circle. Many of us live a life that is so full of “busyness” that we forget to find quiet time for ourselves, time to withdraw from the world we live in and create a separate world that is ours alone. This

“In the long run, our attitude towards life’s lessons – and the direction our life takes in life – are one and the same; show me someone who resists the Light of Life’s correction in the course of his or her soul, and I will show you someone whose destiny is the darkness of total self-enclosure.” nnEven though the Truth is never further away from us than our wish for its awakening and self-healing insight, there are distinct moments in life when it comes closer to

Thought has power. Power, however, has its conditions of action. A ‘passing’ thought running through the mind, disappearing as quickly as it enters, does not have the same impact as a concentrated and persistent focus coupled with the gathering of emotional or vital force to accentuate its impact. Similarly, a thought generated more or less mechanically has much less impact overall than one that involves the attention and support of the being.

The term “Divine” is used by Sri Aurobindo, starting with the title of his magnum opus, The Life Divine. How do we understand the term?

Evolution takes time. Hundreds of millions of years were required to move even small steps forward, as universal “time” does not fit into the “human” time-sense. Humanity measures things in terms of an individual lifespan, and in increments that we have devised from our humanity-centric viewpoint. Thus we speak of generations, and look for change to occur in months, years or decades. Centuries seem like ete ity to us, and millennia are beyond our immediate ability to truly understand.

For Douglas Hamm a way of being closer to God is capturing His beauty through the lens of the camera. The spiritual images by Douglas Hamm are a collection of photographs he took of clouds, mountains, rivers as well as people in submissive poses. Accompanying the photos are verses from the Holy Bible that compliment the subject of the photograph. The response to these pictures has been phenomenal. People felt the same experience as going to church while looking at these spiri

Guilt is a useless emotion. It interferes with learning and is based on something completely false. I'm not talking about the process where you recognize a mistake and learn from it, this benefits you. But the thought-forms of guilt do more to interfere with your learning from mistakes, because what you’re actually doing is ruminating over what was said or done rather than deciding that you will not do or say that thing again. Learning from a mistake is a decision you make.

Don’t parachute into the maze” was a phrase I spoke in the middle of a reading with a client. I quickly wrote it down! I was referring to the maze of our thinking. We don’t want to jump out of the plane and into the maze of our thinking! No matter how pretty that maze looks ...

You can learn how to snap out of a super bad mood and change your state. It takes a bit of practice and an ounce of self growth, but you can learn to master your moods. When you drift into a bad mood don’t forget you are also drifting into a much lower energy vibration. Call it hormones, call it being stuck in traffic, or call it dropping a kilo of yogurt all over the kitchen floor – it can be overcome.nnUp until I was about 17 years old, I was an impatient and moody pers

We have searched for the "Fountain of Youth" for lifetimes. We've heard stories that tell of a mystical spring that grants eternal youth and vitality to all who drink from it. It's the stuff of fairytales. Or is it? nnPhysical longevity is a hot topic these days. You read about various technologies which offer new and plausible methods such as regenerative medicine, bio-technological advances, and stem cell research, that hold the promise of increased life spans as we search

The Law of the New Thought, by William Walker Atkinson, is a great introduction into the basic principles of New Thought.

However, he does a good job of sharing the basic principles and the book serves as a great primer on the concepts of New Thought.

Pope Benedict XVI, while on his trip to Australia, told a crowd of 200,000 people that the world's natural resources are being squandered in the pursuit of "insatiable consumption." He urged everyone in attendance to care more for the environment and reconnect with the principle of peace. nnHe also addressed types of "poison" which are afflicting the world's social environment such as substance abuse, the exaltation of violence, and sexual degradation. He has been applauded a

The idea of a trinity of aspects or statuses of the Divine has arisen throughout the major religious and spiritual traditions of the world. It is relatively easy to conceptualise this by looking at how we experience the world. We start with an individual perspective, and reference life from that standpoint. Our interaction with the world provides a second aspect, that of the universal creation of which we are a part and within which we participate. The third aspect is the one that the Upanishads reference when they try to avoid the limited definitions available to our mental framework.

The human being is composed of a number of different forces working along their own lines and attempting to find some kind of harmonious interaction between the parts of the being. There is the physical body, the vital being, the mental being, the psychic being and the spiritual planes beyond that. Many times, the vital or the mental adopts a mode of action without taking into account the needs, and limitations, of the physical body. This is true for spiritual seekers as well as those living the life of the world.

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,

What is the real meaning of success? It can be a matter of great debate. Different people define it differently. For a majority of people achieving professional heights is “success.” For students, securing good grades is “success.” For parents, seeing their kids doing well in life means “success.” So, it is clear that success has different meaning for different people, depending on what is important in their life. From these simple examples it is clear that for mo

You are an expression of the divine Self, and it creates through you in two ways: It inspires and moves you, as much as you allow it to, to create the reality it intends for you, and it also allows your egoic self to create the reality it chooses. So, two things are going on in any moment: the divine Self, or essence, is attempting to move you according to its intentions, and the egoic self is attempting to move you according to its desires, beliefs, and other conditioning. I
