Shift to Wisdom by Developing Diamond heart Awareness within Your own Consciousness and Accept the Christ Self within your Human Soul Part 1 Today I read an article in the Huffington Post in the mindful living section written by Agapi Stassinopoulos Author of the book “Unbinding The Heart” I wish to quote a few lines for you as an introduction to my own article “Shift To Wisdom By Developing Diamond Heart Awareness Within Your Consciousness by Accepting the Christ Self

How has Spirit has revealed itself to you? As a young child I always felt and often saw what I called “angels’. I felt like I was always being observed. I didn’t feel alone. Later on, as I learned to meditate, I really began to connect deeply with Spirit and an intimate relationship developed where I received guidance and felt very loved.

I’m watching ‘American Idol’ again and am often asked WHY in astonishment. The show remains a great metaphor for how to create your life and actively participate in it – according to your dream. Stephen Covey says to begin with the end in mind. All the kids dream of being the ‘next American Idol’ – that is their end – but they have to start somewhere. And they all line up for auditions amidst the thousands of others. What is your dream? I see so many clients who want either: • A relationship • More money • Successful business • A purpose and meaning

I once watched a David Attenborough wildlife program that showed the life cycle of a caterpillar. Not just an ordinary caterpillar this caterpillar lived in Siberia; a place where it was only sunny for a short period of the year and icy cold the rest.

Have you ever stopped to think that there could be another reason for your brain other than storing and processing information, for decision making and making our bodies function? Our brain is the control centre of our bodies and its capabilities can be somewhat underestimated by many. Take a moment to consider the possibility that your brain could not only be used to make your body complete tasks like walking or talking or for storing information but that your mind has the possibility to be unlocked enabling you to heal yourself both mentally and physically simply by feeling more positive.r

On Achieving Happiness: The founding fathers wrote in the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

GROUNDING: It takes approximately 3 - 4 weeks of daily practice to "get" this technique once learned, you can ground anytime. Anywhere, in a matter of seconds. I also call this: awakening to the spiritual self. Prior to attempting to meditate, begin to practice the following: To awaken to the spiritual self that we are, we begin first by realizing who we are; we are spiritual beings having a human experience. We begin to learn to greet each other with the Namaste greeting. A

Breathing: One of the most undervalued… One of the most undervalued self-help and wellness techniques in our arsenal is breathing exercises. Breathing is such an involuntary action, many of us go about our day not even giving it a second thought. For me, coming to understand just how important the breath is in my overall well-being came about during the spiritual experience I had in 2015. I had just began

To accept out of love has tremendous power. It permits to reinvigorate stagnant energies, dissolves old pain and to open up to the infinity of your heart and being.

There are many factors in life that can function as catalysts for letting the mind undergo fundamental transformation. Those who sense the poison behind the unconscious living soon discover these catalysts and move on to stable inner peace.

For many folks, this time in history is one of tremendous challenge and change. Many individuals are being forced to make decisions that they thought they would never have to make. The decision to sell a beloved home, the need to relocate in order to find work, adult children moving back home again or downsizing in order to pay off debts. Whatever one’s challenge may be, what if within that challenge was a blessing in disguise?

We don´t like to be vulnerable. We don´t like to be at the mercy of pain and sadness or any other intense emotion that runs through our body. We like to be in control of what we feel and experience, to defend ourselves whenever we are hurt, to appear strong and powerful. So we run from our pain, whenever we sense it coming. We try to outsmart our suffering by avoiding it as best as we can. What we don´t actually realize is that running away from our feelings is actually what causes us to suffer.

Many of us are living, but are not really alive. We do not truly live our experiences, but perceive them only through the veil of past impressions, thoughts and concepts. We are more at home in our constantly analysing and evaluating thinking processes than in our direct sensations. And by so doing, we disconnect from the beauty and magnificence that life has in store for us. Joy, happiness, love, peace are all vibrations of our hearts, that want to be felt and experienced at each moment of our lives. But only rarely do we allow ourselves to be really happy and fulfilled.

When we experience something truly beautiful, it can open-up the universe and allow grace to bathe us in Her sweet embrace. Whether it be an incredibly gorgeous landscape, the smell of a rose in full bloom, an exquisite piece of music, or a delicious mouth-watering bite, when the senses are titillated and deeply experienced, we create a portal to commune with our true essence. That essence is pure, radiant and divine. Picture this: You are walking at sunset at on a long stret

Its seems to be a week of people talking about relationships.........and more about ending relationships than starting them. It is difficult when one is in this position in life. This is my spin on a few situations that have come up for discussion, but first a tip, the only relationship you really need to work on is the one with you. Everything else will fall into place.

Are you ready to receive in each moment who you truly are? Are you ready to receive each moment in the fullness of your being? Are you ready to receive everything you´ve once rejected, because you deemed it bad and negative and feared that it would turn you bad and negative? And are you ready to receive the bliss that you rejected, because you considered it too magnificent and simple to be true for you or because fear told you it wouldn´t last forever?

This article was originally published here -rnhttp://www.thepurplebridge.com/3-keys-happiness-life/ 1. Appreciate what is here (live in the moment)rnWhat is already there does not need anything to exist, it is just there. You may wonder of its value, reasoning as to why they are there, how they got there, how they may be for keeps or how they may be improved, etcetera. These wonderings are philosophy – thoughts, questions and answers, discussions, debates, dissecting truth

Do you have complete faith and positive anticipation of what is to come? Do you wake up every day like a kid on Christmas morning full of excitement? If not, why? Many of us dread the “future” because our lives are not going the way we want them to. However, you are the one who is in control. You are the creator of your own reality. You are the one who is calling the shots. When you live in faith and positive anticipation knowing all is well exactly as it is you release y

What is true freedom for you? Does it mean to have the power to do whatever you want and whatever pleases you at every moment? Is it related to your finances, to the ability to afford whatever you want and desire? Does it mean not to be bound in any way, be it by your work, your partner, your children or anything else? Freedom, as I experience it, is an expression of Beingness. I feel freedom whenever I allow the truth of my being to shine through whatever I experience. I feel constricted, whenever I get caught up in resistance.

Children who are being born today are radically different from those born as the parents of their parents, but the same rules that applied to child-rearing twenty years ago still apply today. Actually, they are more important today than ever before, because this new “breed” of child, the crystal or rainbow child, implies and requires additional care on the part of the parent. These new children are genetically different and are the beginning of a new human species. They h

Wow! 2012. I feel like I’ve lived a year already in only two months. And from what I’m hearing, I’m not the only one. This year is turning out to be vibrant, satisfying and full of change. We’re starting a family in a couple of months and have bought a new home. I’ve written and submitted a novel and also created some new product. It’s all very exciting and abundant. How busy is your year? Are you experiencing a lot of new things at the moment?

Lost Your Identity, Gain Your Freedom! So I had one of those scares this morning - I woke up and ALL of my calendar appointments were gone! It was devastating. I panicked, wondering what I was going to do, and then began the scramble to get it all recovered from my back up. Fortunately, it was almost all there and the rest could be easily recovered. Whew! Time for a bunch of deep breaths and a brand new grounding connection to the earth. In retrospect, I could see the humor

Fear is the number-one ingredient of any form of self-sabotage. And fear is a blessing. Fear is unconsciousness. And fear may be a wonderful gateway for conscious living. How do these seeming paradoxes fit together? Well, it all depends on how you approach and experience fear. It also depends on how actively aware you are of your fear at each moment that it holds you in its grip.

Illegitimi non carborundum is a Latin phrase that means "Don't let the bastards grind you down". Although the term was not actually used when Latin was a common language, it has become a popular catch phrase for those of us that are trying to be optimistic and not let other people get us down. The term "illegitimi non carborundum" was originally coined in World War II, first by the British, then by the U.S., and later by the 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater. The wo

Meditation has different meaning for every person. For some of them it is simply clearing the mind and relaxing the body which gives you the feeling of peace and quiet that you need. During this process you create a pleasurable state of being and it is a way of escaping from the reality around you. For other people it means an extraordinary experience of alter state of reality. Basically, the meditation is a tool, used to cure sicknesses which exist only in our mind. But let’

Have you ever seen someone walking an untrained dog and asked yourself, “Who’s walking who, the master or the dog?” It doesn’t look like a good time for either, as they both tug and struggle to be the one in control. In the case of your Higher Self and your ego, who is taking the lead with running your life? It is interesting to observe how dogs interact with their masters and other dogs. A dog’s behavior is not that different from ego when it comes to the shenanigans that often take place. You may recognize some of these traits in yourself or others:

Whenever we speak of fighting, we generally refer to fighting through violence. Something is there menacing us in some way and we feel the need to crush and annihilate it. We may see this menace inside or outside of us. However, menace as a way of seeing and interpreting our reality always takes root within ourselves. Fighting that comes out of the feeling of being menaced, is always a way of reacting instead of responding. The difference? To react means to be governed by conditioned and automatic behavior.

I forgot a friend’s birthday this month. A friend that I’ve known for over 20 years. I really have no excuse, as it just so happens that 7 birthdays of close friends and family fall in the first week of January. So I’m usually prepared for this week and quite aware of each birthday on each day. But this year, I slipped up with her birthday which fell on the Saturday. So, early on the Sunday morning (my time) I received a text message asking, “Are you OK? Just wondering why you forgot my birthday.” I felt terrible!

Inner happiness is an inside job; a mindset, an idea, a thought, a decision. It's a willingness to see things differently. And it requires action, commitment and perseverance. It also requires letting go of grievances, and letting go of grievances requires letting go of the thought system we used to invent them. And it's in the letting go of grievances where many of us get stuck. We like our grievances; they give us a sense of identity as they invoke feelings of loyalty and c

Let us start with a little query: Are you tired of struggling? Then let me ask you another one: who or what is causing you to struggle in your life? Though you may not be fully aware of it right now, you are the source of everything that happens in your life. And whatever causes you to struggle originates from you.

An amazing realisation was gifted to me by a dear friend recently. I have always been of the understanding that many of our mental health issues are caused due to chemical imbalances in the brain. This pre conception is due to working within the mental health sector for almost four years.

Each one of us knows to what extent the human experience can be hard and painful. And most of us try to live our lives doing their best to avoid painful experiences and to look for those that feel pleasurable. We tend to forget that the more we try to avoid pain and run away from it, the more we actually suffer. And we end up being caught up in this way of experience.

We are living in a world where there is a lot of contrast and division. Battle lines are being drawn and tempers are rising. As we break away from old paradigms, or ways of thinking, it creates separation and fear. It can be threatening and scary to move away from one way of thinking and perhaps entertain another way of looking at life. With our new administration we are being asked as a country to look within and find a way to shift our view, so that a whole new way of being can emerge. We are being called to put down our disagreements and shift our focus to finding solutions.

Happiness is a cruel mistress, I have held her, made love to her, but she never lets me keep her, or worse yet I have let her go while chasing ghosts. It is the ultimate tease to me. She lays there just out of my reach offering glimpses of what life could be. But like water it runs through my hands, no matter how tightly I grasp my fingers she still slips away. Now I sit here and I look back at those times I held happiness and with a whim I let it go. I didn’t appreciate th

There is a lot of speculation around about 2012 and the dramatic changes that are going to occur this year. So colossal they have been likened to that of biblical proportions. Everyone has their own thoughts, opinions and views and I thought that my views are just as important to be heard as those of any film producers that re expressing themselves so dominantly with films such as 2012 an ARMAGEADON. My views may not be as in your face dramatic as those box office hits but they may offer and alte ative thought pattern that may be embraced by others and so I choose to share.

I first separated from my, now, ex-husband around Thanksgiving in 2006. I knew something wasn’t right. I just wasn’t happy. I was actually, rarely happy. Don’t get me wrong. He was and is a marvelous, wonderful, generous, very handsome man. We rarely argued. He was good to me. Very good. But, something was wrong. Something was missing. I talked to friends….”It’s just a phase. You’ll get over it.” Okay, when? I continually wondered. When do I feel like me? When

I recently spent a week in the African bush re-experiencing things that I’d almost forgotten about. Bush safari experiences are special for me as I’m transported into a different world. A world where man is insignificant and nature rules. This magic world, once again, showed me insights of which I’ll share a few with you. 1. Timing is Diviner

I am reminded today of the fact that all we have is this present moment. We can’t be anywhere else than where we are right now. We can’t, by sheer willpower – in this moment -- make ourselves into something we are not. No matter how fiercely we may want to. Years ago, my heart was broken by a man who wanted something different, while I wanted him. An old story, indeed. I tried with all my will to alter that hollow feeling, that echo in my head of “he doesn’t want me

Walking into Kylie Minogue’s concert a few evenings ago, I walked past two teenage girls stepping into a floodlit area. “Hey! Look at my shadow!” the one shouted excitedly to her friend, as they played with the way the lights fell around them. Being a coach who works a lot with the shadow self, I got excited at a possible wider concept of that statement. Imagine if we as adults were comfortable enough with ourselves to excitedly say to one another, “Hey, look at my shadow. This is my selfish side!” or “Hey, look at my shadow. This is my lazy side!” orr

There is one day that I can never forget. The Rodney King trial and the Los Angeles race riots that soon followed. I can still see the image of Channel Six News helicopters scurrying the area, taking shots of a city in peril. Thousands of people were running around in the streets, buildings were set on fire, businesses were looted, and police officers worked to try and restore order and peace. Of course, it was absolute chaos. But chaos is only a temporary state of disorder,

Self-care is something most people don’t practice on a regular basis. Think about it, when was the last time you did something solely for yourself? Whether it’s a massage, focusing on more positive thoughts, or taking a vacation, we all need self-care. We can come up with a long list of why we don’t have time to indulge in self-care, but self-care is actually more important than we realize. Contrary to popular belief, self-care is not selfish nor will it make you lazy. In fact, the more you practice self-care, the more productive you will be.

It has become more widely recognized that ‘Our thoughts create things’. Those of us who open ourselves up to the possibility of being more than just one physical being in one lifetime, then we are becoming more of a universal thinker. It may seem out of this world initially but when you open yourself to the possibilities you will soon discover that it is easier than you first perceived. In fact, it soon will become secong nature. Energy

The more you are able to open up inside, to you and your energy, to everything that wants to flow through you, the more your perceptions of the outside will change: your way of dealing with situations implying other people and the way you relate to them. Whereas surrender, receptivity and compassion are feminine aspects of your being, important masculine aspects are clarity and disce ment.

Today (May 31st) is officially ‘Quit Facebook Day’ - and with Facebook continually in the media gathering the popularity (or notoriety) that it has, I’ve started to wonder what it’s really all about. Facebook, being everywhere, is now part and parcel of our society today. Most organisations and people want you to ‘befriend’ them or ‘like them’ (with the ‘fan’ option no longer being available!). The power and influence of social networking can no longer be denied – and Facebook seems to be the Big Mamma. It was launched in February 2004, by Mark Zuckerberg.

The personal development industry has grown in the last number of years. More and more people are starting to understand the importance of “growing yourself in order to grow your world”. Many aspects of personal development work are designed around WHAT you want in life. You’re encouraged to set goals, create vision boards; keep a cheque for $1 million dollars in your wallet and so forth. Is Personal development work being translated into being successful? And does success always involve money? Or is success whatever you want it to be? Could it be called wellbeing?

As we crow in consciousness, it becomes important for us to take responsibility for the things we create. This is the basis of accountability. You create your reality. This is your birthright. You have always been able to manifest with your thoughts and your words. Now you have reached the place where you are able to do this consciously. Humans have the unique ability to observe our circumstances from every angle and make decisions or rationalize based on what we see. Unfortu

Time can be your friend or your greatest nemesis; a means for great experiences or deep suffering. Indeed does suffering require time. I can´t suffer without experiencing time as a reality and myself as a being subjected to time. If you really understand that what you are is beyond time, you access the key to find inner peace out of every form of suffering. Whatever it is that seems to disconnect you from fulfillment: You can leave illusion behind you at any moment and get back to the reality of your true Self.

Three years ago I was an empty cup. I used to think that art and music were overestimated and they didn’t add value to my time. Thank Earth they didn’t listen to what I said and they both saved my life in the end. In my new life, what I enjoy the most is listening to music while I am in motion. Running, driving my car or riding the bike I used to dream about until six months ago. It is totally alike to my childhood bike and I was sure I would never find it. BUT I did find it

In my recent public presentations, I have been inspired to share about how: *knowing what I want *effectively living in two worlds at once *being in the “now” *personal organization result in living a fulfilling, balanced life. I call this the Spiritual Science of Balance because these are steps anyone can take and achieve the same results. Knowing what I want is step one. Not what I should do or can do, but what I truly want for myself. This is not from the selfish me-fir

The Drawing Out Process is an easy yet very powerful way to release fears, self-criticism, and other emotional struggles. These "characters" within you are drawn out and returned to a state of wholeness and peace - so that you can finally feel whole and at peace.
