  • Finding Peace Within

    Learning how to live peacefully is about no longer viewing life as a struggle and no longer feeling that you need to be in control or manage anything around you.
    Finding peace is about acceptance of everything, of not only yourself, but about accepting your place in life.  This doesn’t mean in any way that you should give up; it means you can let go of any resistance you feel to the moment you are in.  You can still strive for things and be driven, but along the way, you can accept whatever path you are on.  Without trying to control everything, we will walk down the path we are meant for because we are not holding ourselves back.

  • Letting Go Of Your Old Self

    Finding out who you really are is about letting go of who you think you are.
    We develop certain ideas of who we are and hold onto them, even if they do not fit the real us.  Sometimes our habits and even certain ways of being feel so real that we cannot imagine living without them.  What do you do then; how do you let go of something that feels permanent to you? What you need to do is to see past the idea of it being permanent, for nothing is permanent and you can change as fast and as often as you desire.

  • “Hair standing on end” Prickle feelings in spirituality and holistic medicine

    By Floco Tausin

    Many of us experience that prickle feeling with the body hair standing on end and the skin looking like “goose bumps” time and again. It is usually associated or identified with chills, shiver and certain emotional states. Less known, however, is that this prickle is informative and effective in the fields of health care and spirituality. This is suggested by both medical studies and the experience of spiritual masters of different cultures. (more…)

  • The Upanishads – Like this, As that

    By R.J. VIGODA

    As bees suck nectar from many a flower
    And make their honey one, so that no drop
    Can say, “I am from this flower or that,”
    All creatures, though one, know not they are that one.

    Chandogya Upanishad

    Virtually every spiritual system on earth espouses the existence of an original source.  A source from which all existence emerges and all knowledge flows. (more…)

  • Dreams and Destiny

    Waking up to your destiny is about finding your path; it is about letting yourself be led by instinct, emotion, feeling, knowledge, and with what feels right.
    Destiny is not about control or how you see things.  Instead, it is about becoming part of where and who you should be; it is not about what you are forcing yourself to be and do.  Destiny is a word we use to give meaning to our lives.  It is what we are meant for, where we belong in our life.  We tend to think it is something we have to find or adjust;  yet, simply put, it is already part of you, inside of you, and it speaks to you constantly, not out loud, but from within, by what attracts you, what stirs you, and what, deep within, speaks to your mind and heart. It is a feeling of trusting yourself to follow what you desire, whether it be big or small; it is a preference you can feel.

  • You And Your Destiny

    Understanding your path or destiny in life is more about finding out who you are than being who you think you should be.
    We often go through life living a blueprint of our lives. Following plans laid down ages ago, acting out a future to please others or even ourselves.  We choose not to let go of the ideal so that we can fulfill some grander plan we have devised, often without thought to our true happiness. Why do we let happiness escape our plans, why do we live a life that we are not destined for?  Why do we not even try to seek that which we are meant for? Often, we choose the safest route, one we can see and understand, one we know we can do so that we will not fail. Failure being the worse course of action, because if we fail at our plans, what are we worth.  Failure isn’t always planned, but sometimes losing at something means there is another way.  If that path closes, perhaps what you were meant for is something different, something better and more in tune with the real you.

  • Psychic Ability: Is It Real? What Does It Mean?

    The term psychic power refers to any ability by which mind can interact with matter by means beyond currently understood laws of science.

    Parapsychology, the scientific discipline devoted to the study of psychic ability and other paranormal phenomena has coined the umbrella term psi to refer to a number of distinct categories of psychic ability, namely: (more…)

  • Is Heaven a Fairy Story?

    In an interview with the Guardian eminent physicist Professor Stephen Hawking, author of The Grand Design and the classic A Brief History of Time provocatively dismissed the possibility of an afterlife as a “fairy story” for people afraid of death. Although brilliant in his field, Hawking is reaching beyond the remit of his expertise with this remark.

    In considering an afterlife, we must consider consciousness (for presumably it is that which survives physical death), and that is an area science knows precious little about. The idealized concepts  of heaven and hell are man-made constructs for man-made ends, but the possibility of an enduring consciousness is highly realistic. Although modern physics does place such importance upon the role (consciousness) of the observer that it is deemed impossible to make an observation without influencing that which is being observed. Thus even physics says consciousness matters. (more…)

  • How To Be Centered And Balanced In Life

    So you try to do all the right things in life; you try to be present and engaged, relating to the moment, seeking truth, and yet you still feel lost and drawn away from reality.
    How do you stay centered even when you try?  There can be many things that unbalance us and keep us from staying grounded in life.  And from experience, we realize that control over ourselves does not help. (more…)

  • Fate vs Free Will?

    Predestination, Free Will, or Both?

    Are we victims of inescapable fate, or do we really have the power to create our own destiny? That is the age-old question.

    This world, and this lifetime, have infinite possibilities yet you will travel one path. How do you really know if this path is for you? The age-old concept of Karma views every action as the cause of one or more effects. In essence ourselves and our lives are the result of countless past actions, as well as contributory causes to the destiny of the universe. Discover more about Karma and how it can be a powerful tool in shaping your destiny. (more…)
