Numerology Made Easy and its background

Numerology From birth to death, you’re a number. In most cases, you are a series of numbers. The physical side of numbers are used in some concrete way. For example, without numbers, telephone companies would not have a structure. However, there’s an invisible side to numbers. In the world of the metaphysics, this is known as Numerology. Numerology is an ancient and accurate science. It seems numbers and Numerology have always existed together. In my collection of books on

Navigating You And Me With Love And Compassion: Two Sweeteners for Intimate Interaction

Everyday Dilemma: Do I honor my thirst to be alone for awhile, or do I follow the longing in my heart to be together with friends and family? For years I believed intimacy meant being together with my beloveds - all the time! Everyone I knew suffered greatly from my youthfully exuberant misunderstanding! As a woman, it seemed natural for my life to revolve around the notion of ‘we’. Unfortunately, it did so without my knowing the ‘I’ that made up my part of the duo. When I realized I could meet this ‘me’ by being alone with myself, I was both relieved and scared.

What is Fear of Success and Why Does it Limit Your Growth?

One of the strangest fears is the so-called fear of success. Fear of failure is understandable - it 'hurts' to fail, to have your limitations revealed - but to actually fear that you'll get what you've been working for all your life... Well, it just sounds daft, doesn't it? Well no, actually. Fear of success is very real and very serious, and quite often the worst thing about this fear is that it goes unnoticed. And that's because the person 'suffering' from it seems to be happy and seems to be successful, but they could have so much more!

***FREEDOM

In the United States, we are coming up on a national holiday known as Independence Day. It is an annual remembrance of a day when the thirteen British colonies in North America agreed to an act of treason against the crown of England. With some really good karma these men defeated the armies of England and we became who we are. The irony is that even though we have freedoms unequaled in any other country in the world, many people are still slaves and prisoners to their own minds.

Don't just work yourself, work on yourself

Several years ago Michael Gerber published a book called the E-Myth. The fundamental premise of this book was that an entrepreneur is someone who works on their business, not just in it. The person who only works in their business, who effectively IS the business, is called a technician. An entrepreneur’s focus is on developing standardized processes and structures, a business blueprint as it were, to enable the business to be equally effectively whether he runs it himself,

Are Your Feelings Reliable? Interview with Rabbi Mordecai Finley, PhD. Part. 2

Belinda: You often distinguish between thoughts, feelings, and intuition in your classes. Let’s talk about feelings first. I see many people using feelings as their main criteria for making major life decisions and relationship decisions. They’ll talk about their feelings as if they’re the most sacred and true part of themselves. Do you believe that feelings are that reliable? Rabbi Finley: Feelings are definitional of the limbic system and the ego self. That’s what feelings

***HOW TO HAVE A WONDER FULL DAY

I saw a sign that read, “Wake up every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen that day”. As a spiritual teacher and healer, I thought that was one of the most profound things I have ever read for several reasons. First, it acknowledges that most of what we experience in our lives is manifested from our thoughts, although many times it comes from our subconscious thoughts. Second, I am convinced that how we start our day dictates what kind of day we will have. “Start our day” means what is going through our minds when we first wake up.

What Do Our Top 10 Fears Say About Us?

People are strange, don't you think! They worry about this and they worry about that. And then 'this' and 'that' usually never ends up happening. But whilst they were worrying about something that didn't happen, a few more minutes or hours or days of their lives passed by. As Homer J Simpson would say: "D'oh!" And it's the same when it comes to people's top 10 fears, really. So just why do people have these fears - why are these fears so common, and what do these fears say about us?

Navigating You & Me With Love & Compassion: Our Dualistic Dance of Relating

The Everyday Dilemma: Do I take care of myself now, or everyone and everything else first, including my career? Most of us truly wish to infuse our lives with love, compassion, and caring. And, you have probably been enticed by the common notion that bringing these words to life requires you to ‘be’ and to ‘do’ things in a certain way. Trying to live these words out loud can produce a lot of confusion and frustration as you juggle meeting your own needs and the needs of your beloveds – significant other, children, parents, siblings, friends, and of course, your career or job.

***THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

I donate a lot of time giving advice to people on “ask the experts” sort of websites. There are two questions that always seem to be repeated. The first is “what is my purpose in life” and the other is “how do I increase my self esteem?” The ironic twist to these questions is that they both have the same answer, regardless of age or circumstance of the person asking. The amazing thing is that after giving this same answer hundreds of times, I have never had anyone write me back and say “you were wrong!”

STAYING GROUNDED IN CHALLENGING TIMES

These are challenging times, with vast economic, environmental, and spiritual changes. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with stress, worry, or depression – to feel out of control, ungrounded. Staying grounded is our safest and most effective strategy for coping with today’s challenges and finding positive solutions. Grounding is the kinesthetic sense of being fully present in our body and our environment, moment by moment. It’s the continual flow and integration of senso

***Nonjudgment

Many books, seminars, workshops, and meditations concentrate on the power of forgiveness. Even I have taught numerous workshops and written about forgiveness. Forgiveness allows us to let go of resentments and negative thinking that will eventually make us sick. The notion is that we have to forgive everyone who has harmed us, including ourselves. I have come to the realization that philosophy only scratches the surface and needs deeper analysis.

***THANKSGIVING FOR LOSERS

Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are upon us. Millions of homes will have families sitting down to massive amounts of food, warmth, cheer and stories. Many more homes will be vacant, foreclosed, silent and empty. Even more will be filled with abuse, fear, loneliness, depression or sorrow. It is easy to feel grateful when our bellies and bank accounts are full. It is not so easy to feel grateful when they are empty. This article is not for the ones who have many things to be grateful about. This article is for the ones who feel that they have nothing to feel grateful for.

***All Perception is Projection

All perception is projection is one of my favorite teachings of Derek O’Neill. It is one of those ultimate truths that apply to every facet of my life. Sometimes it is so basic that I totally miss the true meaning of the teaching. It is the basic premise of the higher teaching that we create everything that we perceive for our own enlightenment. I had a great example of the operation of this teaching in action this winter.

Fear of Commitment is Really Fear of (What?)

How do we solve a problem like fear of commitment, or commitmentphobia? Well, we begin with understanding what the problem is all about, I guess. And, to give the answer away right at the beginning of this article, it's about fear of the unknown. Yes, some might argue that it's also about fear of rejection, too - and that is true to an extent - but fear of commitment is much more about not knowing what's around the corner.

Overcoming Fear of Public Speaking -- Easy as A, B, C

Can there be any greater fear than fear of public speaking? And the crazy thing about this fear is that very few of us ever get to do any speaking in public.

What is there to fear about talking in front of people? It's not as if public speaking puts your life in danger or anything, after all! Well, this is another of those learned fears, believe it or not.

It is also a depressing and stressful time for many people, in part because the shortening of daylight and also in part because it is the time of the metaphorical jou ey of the dark night of the soul, preparing for the return of the light. Medical professionals and counselors agree that this time of year has the highest incidence of stress and anxiety for western cultures.

***BLOCKS

Many times I hear people state that they are “blocked”. They often apply this term to the fact that they are not getting what they want. They are “blocked” from financial abundance. They are “blocked” from true love. They are “blocked” from healing a physical, emotional, mental or spiritual problem. They spend a fortune going to spiritual/alte ative healers, shamans, gurus, psychics or energy channels to get “unblocked”. It has occurred to me that all of this is a huge illusion that is totally unnecessary.

***THE PROBLEM WITH HEALERS

The call begins when we work in the illusion of the material world. There is a nagging voice in the back of our mind that whispers constantly that we are destined for something more compassionate and meaningful in our lives.

*** Having a "why me" day?

Most of us have had one of those “why me” days. Sometimes we don’t understand why life deals us particular life experiences or circumstances. Rather than dwell in this analysis space that leads to negative emotional mindsets like victim-hood, make a conscious choice to play messages to yourself that sound and feel positive. Choosing a mindset of empowerment will result in greater awareness of how you show up in life situations and help you break patterns and cycles that no longer serve you in your life.

***Activate Your Intuition: Creating Sacred Space to Unleash Your Inner Wisdom

LOVE AND WORK: THE PLEASURES OF OUR LIVES

Long ago I read a book that featured one of Dr. Sigmund Freud’s most famous theories. Freud said that man has two basic needs: love and work. As a young woman, I had already figured out the universal need for love, but the idea thatrn‘work’ was equally as important was a big ‘aha’. And so it was for me that my work became a meaningful part of my life. Today, it’s even better that my work involves helping others to find meaningful work, too. If you already have meaningful love relationships in your life…and enjoy work that feels like the perfect fit for you…you are a lucky one!

***PERFECTION

I noticed on Facebook that someone posted a statement that “it is okay not to be perfect.” I responded by saying that everyone is perfect, for which I was told “that is your ego talking.” To me, this is a fundamental misconception that guarantees suffering for anyone that believes that we are not perfect. In order to believe that you are imperfect, there is implicit in that belief that we are flawed and somehow have not lived up to some standard imposed by others. Therefore the creative forces in the universe have created something that is flawed and subconsciously you believe God is failed.

***Taking Responsibility

I was in an automobile wreck the other day. It was quite serious, a freak accident involving defective brakes on my car. Specifically, the brake rotor on my right front wheel spontaneously sheared in half. This resulted in my right front wheel locking up and forcing my car into the curb. When the tire hit the curb the front axle separated and the wheel ended up in a ninety-degree angle to its proper position. It cost over $5500.00 to repair. The wreck happened while I was traveling at approximately 35 mph. Ten minutes earlier I had been traveling at 75 mph down an interstate.
