How we experience reality is determined by the beliefs we hold and the “lenses” through which we choose to view the world. Our Mindset is the key to the lives we lead so are you holding the mindset of a Creator or a Victim?

The integration of self-understanding and love of others is a powerful interface. It is a required journey for every human being regardless of occupation, economic status or belief system. Practicing self awareness, leads to consciousness, the proper awareness outside of one’s true self. This dynamic practice empowers it’s practitioners to fully embrace joy and purpose beyond task and obligation. It mitigates painful thoughts and emotions. Being self aware provides a new

You’ve been exposed to the concept that “everything is energy” and you’ve been told we live in a “vibrational universe”. You’ve been introduced to the Law of Attraction and that to attract what you desire; you need to be in vibrational alignment with your desire. Sure, easy as pie, right? Only, once you begin to analyze the concept of alignment, which we all do, you find yourself asking how does one align their vibration to what they desire?

Science has come to an indisputable conclusion: Everything we perceive through our senses as exte al stuff (or matter)—like the coffee table, a bumble bee, the sidewalk, the mountains, your neighbor, the earth, the cosmos—is only electrical signals in our brain. That’s it. Electrical signals! We see a colorful bird in our exte al world. But it’s not out there, it’s in our brain.

You're already there. This is perhaps one of the greatest messages of all time. For we have taught ourselves that "happiness" or "paradise" is somewhere far from here, something we don't have and can't get to, no matter how much we want it, and no matter how hard we try. But if you've ever been depressed on a beautiful day or joyful on a rainy day, then you know that it is how we feel that determines what we see and how things look. The truth is that paradise is a thought, not a place.

Many people come to me and complain that life is too complicated. That they never feel like anything is going right. That as hard as they try to fix a situation it remains unresolved. Blah, Blah, Blah, … you get the picture as we all have felt this way a time or two – some more frequent than others. I can understand, appreciate, and even empathize where their frustration and disappointment is coming from; yet, my answer, no matter the excuse, seems to be – “Get out of your own way.”

A Course in Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your Weight Forever by Marianne Williamson An Official Hay House Book Review By: William Constantine Typically, I am excited when a new book from Hay House comes for me to review; however, when I received Marianne Williamson's “A Course in Weight Loss”, I was less than enthusiastic.

There is an old adage, “Life is what you make it,” and I couldn’t agree more. Life doesn’t need to be so complex; in fact, it can be easy and stress free! Sounds, too good to be true, right? Do you know why that is? It’s because we come from a society where we have been taught the harder we work the more we get and the more we acquire the more successful we will be. This age old mentality is WRONG!

The spiritual concepts of "Awakening" and "Enlightenment" connote the continuous realization that you are an ete al being who is on an unending spiritual journey. It comes from a deeper knowing that the real you is beyond the body and mind. It is the process of celebrating every moment of the day with the feeling of being intimately connected to the entire Universe, as if it is a living, breathing, conscious intelligence that loves you unconditionally. When you surrender to this truth - you will feel a profound awakening into a higher consciousness.

Transpersonal Hypnotherapy or Spiritual Hypnotherapy as it is more commonly known, is one of the most powerful healing tools around today and has been used for centuries. The ancient Egyptians utilised the power of trance in their healing temples, where they practiced soul whispering, restoring the subconscious mind to its connection with the soul and thereby conditioning the mind to heal. Spiritual Hypnotherapy is a holistic therapy, embracing Mind, Body & Spirit.

S.E.L.F. or “Self-Explore and Learn through Feedback” is a complete system for awareness-raising, transformation, self-healing and for raising human potential. Its operation is based on a new “Science of Consciousness” paradigm that utilizes theories and practices that regard the subjective, system dynamics and bio-electromagnetism. To Experience or not to Experience? Psychology has mostly gone away from analyzing how we experience the world to therapeutically modifying how we react to how we experience the world.

When I was a teenager, I remember questioning in my bible study class. My question pertained to the validity of Christianity. In other words I asked "How do we know our religion is the right one? Is there really a 'right religion' versus a 'wrong religion'? What makes us so sure that our way is the one and only way?" The questions stemmed from the passing of my grandfather, who was not a Christian. I wanted to know if my grandfather was burning in hell or saved.

Imbue Yourself With Joyrn(Excerpted from a group channeling held in Los Angeles, CA.) Evolutionary entities are on the planet at this time to be joy in their lives, in order for the light of joy to emanate from that which you are and shine upon those around you so that they can be uplifted a little bit. At every stage of your existence, there is always something that you tell yourselves to negate the joy of your existence. There is always something that just is not good eno

How you view the world around you is also creating what you believe and how you act or react to certain situations. I had so many clients in the last 3 months share with me the many things that seem to be coming up for them. A few common ones were noticing that they were having issues with family and friends. They felt after loving them and doing for them was unappreciated and that they now felt taken for granted. Another was that they had friends or family they really love a

Awaken Your Magnificence We have all heard the wisdom of the Law of Attraction. We know that we are to "be" before we can have. We know we are to give before we are to get. We also know we are to learn before we can teach. Wisdom is having the experiential application of what you have learned.

Do you have expectations of how you think things should be or the need for specific results? Do you feel the need to constantly be around someone? Do you eat just for the sake of eating without being hungry? Are you obsessed with hanging onto things? Do you lack trust in your relationships? People get emotionally attached to many things whether its people, food, objects, work, money or numerous other things. Emotional attachment is like an addiction.

As a Psychic Medium, one of the hardest parts of the job is helping a parent cope with the loss of a child; however, that said, it’s also one of the most rewarding aspects. For the purpose of today’s blog, I am going to focus on the loss that comes in the form of miscarriages and abortions and I hope to provide you with some insight as to my experience with communicating with the child.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people hold wildly inaccurate ideas and beliefs about spiritual gifts and the people who openly use them. Let’s start by having a basic understanding of the most common ones in order to release unnecessary fears of the unknown: • Automatic Writing – To have the ability to write without conscious thought.r • Bilocation – The ability to be in two places at the same time.r • Clairvoyance – The ability to perceive information outside the normal human senses.r

People Pleaser Syndrome By June Blunk People Pleaser Syndrome affects many people. Perhaps, you or someone you love is plagued with this affliction. I am a recovering people pleaser. Just maybe, I will always be attracted to pleasing, but I catch myself when unhealthy urges arise and change my motivation to love. Whether you catch it in its early stages or when its full-blown, either way, mercifully there is a cure. How do you know if you or a loved one is plagued with this dreaded disorder? You are a people pleaser if:r

Understanding Hypnosis All mammals (including humans) have a mammalian brain. In this brain there is also the reptilian brain. The reptilian brain is located in the Brain Stem, or the upper part of the spine into the back of he head. It is ancient, even before eye development. This is where the Fight/Flight System of survival is located. Hypnosis is the confusing of F/F. Hypnosis is commonly referred to as: The Grazing Zebra Syndrome.

A key "Essential" to Showing Up in one's life is that of communication. How we communicate with others, and perhaps more importantly, with ourselves requires a vital understanding of how powerfully it impacts our lives. Your success in all areas of your life is contingent on your ability to communicate effectively. Your personal relationships, home life and professional life are a reflection of your communication skills.

Marriage is not just the act of two people making their relationship public and permanent. It is the promise which two people make to each other to enter into a bond which will constantly require growth from both parties in order to stay intact. For many reasons, marriage in this day and age is increasingly cut short by divorce. Couples often venture into marriage with the illusion that their relationship and feelings for each other will never change. But relationships are a dynamic, mutable force. And loving someone is something we learn to do. It is something we must practice.

Russia, in the late 80s was under the spell of a charismatic healer who came to the country on prime time every week on their TVs. Dressed in black, fixing his hypnotic gaze on viewers as they sat transfixed in their homes, he promised to cure the entire country. He performed “remote psychological anaesthetization.” Anatoly Kashpirovsky was a self-professed mass healer and hypnotist who made his name during the collapse of the Soviet Union. He was born on August 11, 1939 in the small Ukrainian city of Khmelnitsky.

If you are reading this article from Abundance Belief, I believe those who are really interested in dowsing will subscribe to my newsletter. I have been practicing dowsing for almost 8 years now. At first like most others, I found it fascinating that the pendulum could move by itself and point to a specific answer on a set of pendulum charts. Slowly through more practice and attending more dowsing classes, I found that dowsing could do even more than what I had imagined; from finding information and seeking lost objects to communicating with one’s Higher Self and other divine beings.

Twin Flames are two halves of a single unit. We all have a Twin Flame.

Beside using muscle testing, we can also use a dowsing tool called pendulum. A pendulum is an object suspended by a cord or string. We can use pendulum as a tool to access and identify information from our sub-conscious mind, to trace any limited belief, perception and judgement that may be blocking us to freely experience and express abundance in our life. Benefits of Using Pendulum * Access Sub-conscious Memory. * Identify Hidden Information in Memory Bank. * Trace Limited Belief, Perception and Judgment.r

How does the Ego impact our spiritual and personal growth? The first time I read about the "Ego’s" impact on our spiritual development and higher awareness to this universe, was when I read The Dalai Lama’s book-"the art of happiness". This was by the way the first guide book for self improvement that I have ever read. I was desperate for help, maybe hope. looking for something that will give me the hope that there’s more to life, that things can change dramatically, and tha

By Linney Elder What are negative judgements? Negative judgements are generally based on our personal beliefs and perceptions about a person or situation. When the judgements are directed at ourselves, it's those unwanted thoughts that creep in hinting at how unworthy we are, how lacking, making us feel inadequate and ...

Many spiritual seekers have become acquainted with Mahavatar Babaji, and an artist’s conception of him, through Paramahansa Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi. Some claim that this same Babaji was known as Hariakhan Baba, from the early 1800s till 1922, and that he reinca ated again in 1970, in a cave in northern India, looking much younger but changing dramatically over his fourteen year inca ation.

The word Karma is new age and trendy. We see it used on food products, bath and body products, on business names, as titles of songs, etc. But how many of us really know what it means? Karma is often thought of as reciprocal punishment, with the same connotation as, “An eye for an eye.” Many people use the word Karma to describe negative forces that they are powerless over, using comments like, “I can’t help that I keep losing my job. It’s just my karma.” And some people mis

To most, the word “Ego” evokes the following descriptions: egotistical, narcissistic, self-absorbed or selfish. Actually, ego is responsible for many more human tendencies and emotional characteristics that keep us from living connected, authentic and happy lives.

Here’s a quick 30-second experiment in increasing your capacity for abundance: Just for a moment, allow yourself to silently acknowledge everyone and everything you feel genuinely blessed to have manifested in your life – your kids; your community; your health, your possessions; your home…. Notice that as you deliberately become aware of all there is to appreciate, you naturally breathe a little deeper and feel a little lighter. You might experience this as a sensation of rel

As I headed off to the market this morning, I realized how much I actually enjoy this simple task. I love walking along browsing all the stalls to see what fruit or vegetables are in season checking the prices and talking with the vendors. People are smiling and talking, the sound of music comes from a gentleman sitting on a chair in the centre of the walkway playing an accordion.

What is incomplete in your life? What part of YOU are you ignoring? Do you strive on getting your goals listed and work hard to achieve them? This is both admirable and encouraged behaviour to help move you forward. We all know the power of setting and achieving goals. However, something often gets missed out. We brush over or ignore the behaviour patterns that hold us back from achieving those goals in the first place. It can then be difficult to truly move forward if we still have parts of ourself stuck in a lower vibration.

Over the course of my lifetime I have had many friends, family and one exhusband whom I had to say goodbye to. Sometimes I was the one being left behind, such as when my sister died. Sometimes I did the leaving such as occurred with my ex. Sometimes we both did the leaving such as with some of my friends. The pain of letting go is not imaginary. It’s physical. Even when both parties agree it’s time to let go, the pain is still there. Letting go is tough because the mind with its disce ment of “it’s time!” can be out of sync with the heart which loves without judgment or reserve.

In the past I have written many posts and articles about human energy and how it relates to healing and transformation. But now we stand on the cusp of a great shift. This shift has been referred to by the Mayans, Hopis, Hindis, Tibetans and many other ancient cultures. Current predictions are that we reach the cusp of this shift on Dec 21, 2012. These years leading up to this cusp have a heightened energetic intensity to them. Many of my clients want to know: Exactly how does a world-wide shift happen anyway? What is happening and what should I be doing during this time?

Each day, many of us unintentionally place limitations on ourselves by way of our conditioned mind. What we perceive as a purely natural reaction may actually be creating limitations for us and take away our inherent ability to empower ourselves. What is driving your life? We are all on a journey of self-empowerment from day one. But, the question is, are you consciously seeking self-empowerment or working from a conditioned mind?

Every emotion you have is designed for a specific purpose. For example, guilt is just meant as a tap on the shoulder letting you know that the way you reacted, or whatever you may have done probably isn't in the highest interest for yourself and others around you. There are those who may lay "guilt trips" on you, but that is merely that particular person's reaction which does not have to affect you. That is another topic in and of itself, this article is merely discussing you

Releasing the Shadow: Bringing Dark Aspects of the Personality to the Light "Everyone carries a shadow,and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is." Carl Jung For most of us, the aspect of our psyche called the Shadow is more often than not the source of our troubles rather than their solution, the nemesis of our self-esteem, success and happiness. The term “Shadow” was originally used by psychological theorist Carl Jung to

It's only natural that in a technological era, ancient spiritual practices such as yoga and Buddhist meditation would be studied using the instruments of technology. The trend first came under public scrutiny in the 1960s, when the Transcendental Meditation movement publicized EEG readings that showed that meditators produced increased peaceful alpha wave brainwave activity while practicing their technique. Since then, the connection between brainwave activity and spirituality has attracted even more interest and debate.

First of all, let me say that I am no expert in quantum physics, so for those of you who are not inclined towards reading a whole bunch of scientific technical terms, you may now breathe a sigh of relief, because I'm not capable of writing them either! In fact, in order to write this article, I had to do a bit of research on quantum physics, and just so that I don't write the wrong things and make a fool of myself (haha!), I'm just going to share an extract from this article

Many people are confused about what it means when we talk about the outer world being a reflection of the inner self. It IS a complex concept, and it's one with several different layers of meaning. Here are three layers explained, each incrementally more advanced than the one before. The Simple Version: The first and simplest way to look at it is that whatever is within you is what you'll recognize most obviously in the people and circumstances around you. Whatever beauty and love you carry, whatever pain and aggression you carry, you will readily recognize that in others.

Where were you when on that terrible day? Until ten years ago, during my lifetime at least, that question almost always pertained to the day the shots rang out and killed Kennedy; his presidency the seeming symbol of refreshed and restored hope to a nation that had been bruised, bloodied and battered by two successive World Wars. All those lives lost. All those sons and daughters, fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters. Perished. Some burned alive even. And, then, a chance at rebirth. Until shots rang out from a grassy knoll and killed it.

Where is the Sub-Conscious Mind Located? Most people know that the root cause for our struggles is in the sub conscious mind. We all are aware that we have a conscious and a sub conscious mind and the sub conscious mind is the powerful one of the two. Most of the time we are on cruise control and the sub conscious mind is running the show. The role of the conscious mind is to direct the sub conscious mind. However, to do this you need to be aware and be in the present moment. Creating the life you desire.

Looking back now, my path to A Course in Miracles probably all started in 1969 when I accepted Jesus my personal Lord and Savior, under the influence of the Campus Crusade for Christ. However, after joining a Christian brotherhood of aspiring monks, where I was daily quizzed on how many Bible verses I had memorized and could recite verbatim, I was totally confused by it all. Their version of reality just didn’t sit well with me. I felt like a parrot of Bible verses, that I didn’t even begin to understand, or the town crier that nobody wanted to hear. Jesus would show me more, much more.

Extraordinary times, like the ones we are currently living, tend to bring out the best and the worst in everyone. Tendencies, beliefs, and even decisions get easily polarized because there are forces at hand that push us to make tough choices—about relationships, work, finances, health, and social issues.
