The Realization that Leads to Genuine Letting Go

By Guy Finley We all know exactly what it is like to be certain we have let go of something sorrowful or worrisome, only to find ourselves in a similar sad situation moments later. Dropping this person and picking up that person doesn’t end the loneliness that drives us into dead-end relationships. This isn’t letting go. We have only managed to put the emptiness on hold. Changing jobs to get away from someone or something that sets us off doesn’t cancel our conflict. This just delays the inevitable angry feelings that always surface whenever we feel threatened. Our anger cannot …CONTINUE READING HERE: The Realization that Leads to Genuine Letting Go

LOVE YOURSELF, NO MATTER WHAT YOU WEIGH!

by Maurice Horwitz I hope this finds you all well and happy. I want to share a special thought with you today. Here is a thought provoking and very powerful quote from the book, A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles, By Marianne Williamson… “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You …CONTINUE READING HERE: LOVE YOURSELF, NO MATTER WHAT YOU WEIGH!

Jump the Fence and Run For It!

– by Francis Rico Referring to our “human situation,” ancient wisdom traditions have long said that we are unwitting residents of a “barnyard” – and, that along with having been co-opted as a resource for the benefit of the “Masters”, we have become complacent and co-operative with our captors in response to our need to be cared for. Representing the path of personal freedom, shamans have always placed their allegiance with nature, with the wild and free, rather than with the “safety” and well fed organization of the barnyard. No matter how well cared for, barnyard creatures are still dinner …CONTINUE READING HERE: Jump the Fence and Run For It!

Story 4. Dear Elizabeth Lesser...

Dear Elizabeth, In 2012, I read an article you wrote that was published in O Magazine. Your topic became a prompt during a writing bootcamp I was in last year. It caused a spark within me to ignite and has since burst into a flame atop a tall torch shining its guiding Light on a transforming path between my female ancestors and me, and beyond. It was “Mamisma!” THE writing prompt perfectly fitted to descend me into the past. To my surprise, however, it turned out to be a “calling” from my future! One thousand words spilled through the ink …CONTINUE READING HERE: Story 4. Dear Elizabeth Lesser…

The Impact of Lacking Self-Esteem on Business Professionals

By Dr. Joe Rubino Studies show that at least 85% or more of the world’s people suffer from some degree of lacking self-esteem. Although one might think that such challenges are only characteristic of the poor, uneducated, or lower socio-economic members of society, people from all walks of life can suffer situational or more widespread challenges with their levels of self-esteem. Many very successful business people lack self-esteem in some areas of their lives. Perhaps they feel socially challenged or they have difficulty establishing close or intimate relationships. Perhaps they experience low self-esteem with regard to their physical appearance or …CONTINUE READING HERE: The Impact of Lacking Self-Esteem on Business Professionals

THE POWER OF STORY!

On writing, and publishing, a novel of ideas – particularly one with Spiritual underpinnings: It’s been three months since I posted my initial thoughts. I ended my last post with the questions: A novel of ideas? Spiritual underpinnings? The why and wherefore. And, what does it mean to tell a good story? A novel of ideas – why not? If there has ever been a time that was calling us to explore new ideas, that time is now. As I sit here, on September 16th, in the sweltering heat of a California beach city – a city that’s been experiencing …CONTINUE READING HERE: THE POWER OF STORY!

Freedom From the Fear of Feeling Powerless

True spiritual “power” isn’t the ability to imagine and implement an endless series of new solutions to old problems. Rather, it is a radical new and higher form of self-understanding, one that illuminates and transcends our unconscious need to have any painful problems at all. Which would you rather have: a personal fire truck and a fire to put out every day, or a life free of painful fires? The truth is… most of us spend a great deal of our time struggling, in vain, to sort out one conflict or another… with others, with the world, or within ourselves. …CONTINUE READING HERE: Freedom From the Fear of Feeling Powerless

The Destructive Force of 'Fear'

If you’re a human being, you have emotions. We can’t deny them any more than we can deny having a right hand. We love with passion, we enjoy a good sad movie, and at times we are overcome with tears of joy. But when do our emotions become destructive to our health? While we can’t simply shut off our emotions, we can learn to guide the destructive ones….to recognize them as destructive, and then loosen them…the same way a tight knot is loosened and set free. One emotion every person with a serious illness struggles with is fear. Fear is …CONTINUE READING HERE: The Destructive Force of ‘Fear’

Beliefs: Impact on Results - Steering Your Beliefs unto the Right Path

This is a quick post about expectations, what you expect will happen, what you actually believe will happen when you are either making an affirmation or deciding on goals you would like to achieve. It could also be in the way you deal with different events in your life. In my book Driving With the Brakes On, I discuss beliefs we have, and how they can be subtle, yet influence or steer an outcome, often without us knowing we have done so.

Five Ways To Watch Energy

By Catherine Carrigan, Amazon No. 1 best-selling author and medical intuitive healer www.catherinecarrigan.com It is sometimes difficult to explain to other people how I do a medical intuitive reading. One of the simplest things I do is simply to watch the energy of any situation. This morning, I was speaking briefly with a gentleman in another country who has been concerned about his liver to the point where he has prescribed himself several rather harsh liver cleanses. We are scheduled to have a full session on Thursday morning, but we were chatting briefly to arrange the schedule. I tuned in …CONTINUE READING HERE: Five Ways to Watch Energy
