Are You Waiting for Someone or Something to Rescue You?

By Marie T. Russell
Marie T. Russell

Are You Waiting for Someone or Something?

The pattern I have seen repeated both in myself and in others around me is what we could call the sleeping beauty/frog prince complex. It consists of waiting for something or someone to deliver us from whatever situation we have gotten ourselves into.

Stepping Into Our 5D Frequency For Planetary Transformation

By Judith Corvin-Blackburn
Judith Corvin-Blackburn

Stepping Into Our 5D Frequency For Planetary Transformation

By nature, we are 5th dimensional humans. This has been encoded in our DNA. 5D humans live from their heart’s wisdom. They feel fully empowered and emit unconditional love and non-judgment for themselves and all others. 

Open to Possibilities: Flowing with Life, Motion and Change

By Jean Walters
Jean Walters

Open to Possibilities: Flowing with Life, Motion and Change

It is true that change is the only constant. You cannot stop it or interfere with it. It is ongoing and occurring every minute all the time. What you can do is learn to deal with it appropriately so that you are not creating anxiety around change. You can learn to flow with it.

 

Are Your Beliefs Working For You or Against You?

By Rich Rahn
Rich Rahn

Are Your Beliefs Working For You or Against You?

What are beliefs really? Beliefs are opinions, assumptions, prejudices, judgments, ideas, and attitudes through which everything you experience in life is filtered. They are the lenses through which we see the world.

Which Movie About Life Are You Watching?

By Alan Cohen
Alan Cohen

Which Movie Are You Watching?

Sitting on an airplane in flight, I was listening to an inspiring audio seminar on my iPod. Then the in-flight movie came on. Since I was in a bulkhead seat and the projection screen was just a few feet from me at eye level, it was almost impossible not to watch the movie. So I kept listening to the audio seminar with my ears and my mind, while the movie paraded before my eyes.

 

Your Natural Power of Imagination Is The Basic Creative Energy Of The Universe

By Gus Fowler
Gus Fowler

Your Natural Power Of Imagination Is The Basic Creative Energy Of The Universe.

Losers visualize the penalties of failure. Winners visualize the rewards of success. Today, we are going to talk about creative visualization, that is, the technique of using your imagination to create what you want in your life. There is nothing new, strange, or unusual about creative visualization. You are already using it every day.

How To Stay Calm In An Emergency or Under Stress: A Primer

By Hersch Wilson
Hersch Wilson

How To Stay Calm In An Emergency or Under Stress: A Primer
The singular and most important idea that will help us stay calm in an emergency — or at any other time — is that we have a choice. It often doesn’t feel like we have a choice. Something happens, we get rear-ended on the highway, and we are quick to anger.

All The World's A Stage and You Get To Choose Your Part

Lora Cheadle

All The World's A Stage and You Get To Choose Your Part

If, as Shakespeare so aptly pointed out, all the world’s a stage and each of us are merely players, playing our parts until we fade away into oblivion, the question inevitably becomes “Who is choreographing your life?”

There Are No Limits: Separation Is An Illusion

By Jonathan Hammond
Jonathan Hammond

There Are No Limits: Separation Is An Illusion

In Nature, there is no separation. Everything is connected, and if it is a cooperative and connected universe, then that means that we are each an inextricable part of that interdependence. This leads us to the second principle of Huna: There are no limits...

Rediscovery – Seeing with Our Hearts

By Dery Dyer
Dery Dyer

Rediscovery – Seeing with Our Hearts

In acting as a conduit for the universe’s love, human creation ultimately creates love. As author Maxine Greene puts it, “Imagination is what, above all, makes empathy possible. It is what enables us to cross the empty spaces between ourselves and those . . . we have called ‘other’ over the years.”

Unconditional Love, Finally! We Have Found The Answer ... And It Is Us.

By Will T. Wilkinson

How The Brain Builds A Sense Of Self From The People Around Us

We are highly sensitive to people around us. As infants, we observe our parents and teachers, and from them we learn how to walk, talk, read – and use smartphones.

By Elizabeth E. Meacham, Ph.D.
Elizabeth E. Meacham, Ph.D.

Three Steps for Re-Visioning Our Planetary Stories

In my teaching, I develop and work with a variety of Earth-connected spiritual practices. I have developed three progressive phases of practices that effectively grow Earth-connected sensitivities. The combination of the steps consistently creates a shift in perspective, which produces experiences of healing and rebalancing within the web of life.

The Dilemma of The Freedom to Choose

By Lisette Schuitemaker
Lisette Schuitemaker

The Dilemma of The Freedom to Choose

Across the globe, the freedom to choose what will define our lives is vastly different. We who have many options open to us often suffer from stress, because this freedom brings with it a responsibility of being a good judge of what fits us best.

How Can I Experience Things That Aren't Real?

By Philip Goff
Philip Goff

How Can I Experience Things That Aren't Real?

When I see red, it’s the most religious experience. Seeing red just results from photons of a certain frequency hitting the retina of my eye, which cascades electrical and biochemical pulses through my brain, in the same way a PC runs.

How To Heal Human Suffering: Reconnecting to Our Source and to Each Other

By Deepak Chopra
Deepak Chopra

Reconnecting to Our Source and to Each Other

There have been calls to reconnect to the source of the subjective world. In every case, it was the troubling ignorance about the human mind that motivated a few outstanding thinkers to try to bring down the Chinese wall dividing the physical from the mental.

Are You Being Sabotaged By Self-Doubt?

By Katherine Gibson
Katherine Gibson

About Self-Doubt: Whether You Think You Can or Think You Can't...

Self-doubters tend to dismiss compliments and embrace criticisms. They focus — even highlight — their weaknesses, ensuring that others see their shortcomings as clearly as they do. Eleanor Roosevelt's clever one-liner "No one can make you feel inadequate without your permission" says it all.

I Am More Than My Body: Stepping Out of The “Real World” Illusion

By Jim Willis
Jim Willis

I Am More Than My Body: Stepping Out of The “Real World” Illusion

Pinch yourself, for instance, and your body seems solid. Your senses insist this is the case. It seems to be an essential, irrevocable truth. But the plain facts of science, regardless of what normally seems so patently obvious, prove that your senses are deceiving you.

Learning The Art of Leading Yourself: Moving From Acquiring and Achieving to Being

By Randi B. Noyes
Randi B. Noyes

Learning The Art of Leading Yourself

Seeing life as a series of "have to's" can be destructive. In reality, we don't "have to" do anything. On the contrary, we choose to do everything.

Dare To Be True To Yourself: Heed the Call and Dare to Live

By Randi B. Noyes
Randi B. Noyes

Freedom of Being: Heed the Call and Dare to Live

Viktor E. Frankl, in his book, Man's Search for Meaning, recounts his experiences in a concentration camp during World War II. He maintains that though he remained a prisoner, his inner self would always be free. He always had the freedom to think whatever he wanted to think; a freedom no one could take from him.

The Coronavirus Pandemic Has Revealed How Fragile Everyday Life Is

Moments of social disruption are a valuable reminder that so much of what we take for granted — our sense of normalcy — isn’t necessarily normal at all.

The Power of Meaning: It Determines Our Reality

By Sarah Mane
Sarah Mane

The Power of Meaning: It Determines Our Reality

The meaning we give to something determines our reality and life experience. If you see a grizzly bear coming towards you, then the meaning, or interpretation, in that moment will be one of danger, fear and survival. If you see a kitten...
