How could anyone "lose" steps in Reiki? Isn't Reiki channeling the universal life force energy? What is there to lose? Quite a bit, we are just finding out. There has always been some conjecture that the woman who brought Reiki into this country, Mrs. Takata, was not given all the steps. Some people believe that's because she was a woman. In this case, conjecture is irrelevant. Even the material that Dr. Usui discovered was only part of the information on how to practice what we now call Reiki. The "lost" information has come back to us through channeling. We were contacted by an elderly gentleman - 5,000 years old, give or take a few years - who calls himself Wei Chi. He began channeling through us...
There's a shift going on. Every day we hear of a new crisis. The stock market is crashing, people are losing their jobs, the house market has collapsed, businesses are failing, huge corporations and financial institutions are bankrupt or receiving billion dollar government bailouts. On top of all this smoke screen, in less than a week we in the US will elect a new president. If you've watched a TV, heard a radio or picked up a newspaper recently, you've likely been affected by the fear, worry and despair that is portrayed by the media in recent times. You are a sensitive being. Without realizing it, you pick up the thoughts and feelings of others and take them on as your own. Many of the emotions...
Whether you are new to transpersonal healing or have met with psychic counselors for various reasons, attending a psychic fair can be an eye-opening experience. Depending on the activities and venue, you will have the opportunity to explore alternative and holistic options for improving spiritual and mental well-being. While the atmosphere may be charged with enthusiasm and enhanced by calming music and light, don't expect the stereotypical carnival side show. It may surprise you to see how the psychics offering their services look and act. No Gypsy Caravans While some psychics may dress comfortably and colorfully, there's a good chance you won't find the multi-scarved gypsy with the gold hoop...
What is Body Detox?
As we grow older as a society I think we are beginning to realize how important health and body consciousness is to the everlasting state of our existence. We can look at people who are 25 years old that have maintained a McDonald's diet and notice how much closer to 45 they actually look. Then we can look at a 75-year-old person who switched to a completely healthy diet over 30 years ago and you would never believe they were older than 50. The correlation between diet, exercise and good health has become paramount to a long-lasting life, and people are jumping on the "health train" in droves. Within this new realization is the idea that body detox might be a route to this good health. But does it...
The New Age in 2009
Introduction The beginning was ever so slight, only the inkling of an idea here and there, devoid of any real shape or form. Gradually the idea took amoeba-like form in the metaphysical and spiritual counterculture groups of the 1970s and 1980s. Then as with all of nature's creations, a period of successive mutations, shaped and re-shaped the new form. The evolved form that emerged in the 1990's was more robust, but hardly perceptible as the start of a profound shift. The idea persisted, gradually gaining critical mass through popular works such as The New Earth by Eckhart Tolle (2005) and the film The Secret by Rhonda Byrne (2006), finally surpassing its tipping point through to today where we find...
The night has been associated with a lady dressed in black velvet and bejewelled with glowing diamonds we know as stars. The shining stars of the night, together with other celestial bodies, however have been more than trinkets in the sky. The astrologers have for centuries looked to the heavens for some star or planetary activity that might impact people's lives on earth. So what is the history behind astrology in the western part of the world? In the ancient times, the practice of astrology is meant only for the royal blood, during this period, the royalty credibly relied on astrologers and placed them in respected positions in their palaces. When the astrologers brought some bad news though, they...
What's More Down-to-Earth Than Your Body?
What's more down to earth than your body? One of the first things to look at when aiming for down to earth spirituality is how you view and experience your emotions. I have worked with clients who have had a difficult time emotionally because they held a belief that they didn't belong here on earth. Is this you? Do you feel alien? Like it's a mistake that you are here? That you were born? If you answered yes to any of these questions, acceptance of your decision...yes, YOUR decision to come to Earth is the first step you'll need to take in coming down to earth spiritually speaking. It's no fun being a space cowgirl or cowboy. If you're not inhabiting your body fully, then you are missing the point...
As we filter through the enlightenment maps that we have gathered throughout our mystical journeys, one creates an index of core spiritual experiences, where we draw upon our inner ability, to completely and wholly, understand these events. In ones handbook to higher consciousness, is a time known as, the fashion during the enlightenment period, a time in which we process life experiences. Refer it to our core essence where this is amassed as a result of its importance. Once we understand the sequence of events encompassing it we find the cleansing energy of peace and harmony within. To understand and know that you have thought up your life with the thoughts you think, words you speak and the course...
Feed Your Spirit With Joy Not Food
The best and most effective weight loss plan in the world is happiness. When we are full and radiant, we hold more LIGHT inside. We are enlightened. We've Lightened up! Have you ever heard the saying, "As within so without"? This means, "What we feel in our inner world moves to its expression in our outer reality." That's a Universal Law. Years ago when I started my daily spiritual practice, I was prompted to dive in, after being stuck for more than a year in a serious funk. I was overweight, irritable and bored with my life. Yet, I did not know where to start, to change my daily experience. I only knew the depth of my restlessness and private misery. Around this time a friend recommended a book on...
How Answered Prayer Restores and Substantiates...
One of the most mysterious subjects of the Christian faith is prayer, particularly regarding how it works, and how it is answered. Many unbelieving people simply cannot entertain the logic of prayer. It is clearly something that must be experienced very personally. But, how does prayer actually work? How is it answered? There is probably no simple or succinct answer. But, let me take you into one way how prayer is answered from my own personal experience. I've prayed recently, for several weeks in fact, for an extra portion of epieikes (pronounced epee-aa-kes), the character quality of spiritual forbearance, gentleness, and reasonableness, which Paul talks about in Philippians 4:5 and 2 Corinthians...
Opening The Door Between Worlds
Many people mistakenly believe that in order to be truly happy in life, their dreams must come true. Sadly they have it backwards. In order to for our dreams to come true, we must first be truly happy. We must learn to be thankful for every little thing. Feeling true gratitude and thankfulness prepares us for the next level in life. Appreciating every thing we have here and now will help open the door to the future. We must first become what we dream of, and then our dreams will manifest. Here is an exercise that has helped me tremendously: What is it that you dream about? Being wealthy and owning your own business? Being in love? Being popular and attractive? In order to attract those...
Many psychics across the internet claim that they have had a psychic mother or grandmother that was a psychic. They claim to have mystical powers because of what their ancenstor's are giving to them now in their life. How far is the connection between psychic grandmother's and Indigo Children? Are people really born psychic? Over the years, I have given some psychic readings and I have also gotten some psychic readings from advisers in Lily Dale, NY. Lily Dale assemblies has always been known for being a psychic town of people that choose to live together. I noticed that many of the psychics there had psychic grandmothers and grandfathers, mothers and fathers. I did not have a psychic grandmother or...
Careers & God - How to Discover Who You Are
You work because you have bills to pay. Or do you? The fortunate ones work because they love what they do, not because of the bills. Even if they won the lottery, they'd still get up every morning doing what they love. How about you? In discovering your life's work, you will not only find out who you are, but spiritually find far more to your career choice than meets the eye. Unless we were thinking of joining the church as a priest, preacher, or nun, who'd have thought spirituality and our careers would go together? They do and I'll show you how, right now. Your soul is that part of your being which came from God. The day you were born you already had all the talents, interests and skills you were...
So you want to be a doctor, lawyer or Indian Chief? The truth is, God doesn't care what your career is as long as you make use of the gifts He gave you through the career of your choice. As author Mark Victor Hansen says, "We're spiritual beings in a physical universe and we are here to make a spiritual contribution. Unless you are fulfilling your spiritual mission, you anesthetize yourself." Well put. So let's wake up and feel excited about work again! If your best spiritual gift were friendliness, you might make a perfect Wal-Mart greeter, sales person, or social host or hostess. You have to like people to be genuinely friendly and these positions match your gift. If your chosen gift were...
Your Authentic Nature Leads You To Authentic...
Hi, I am Dale Symons. I’m a spiritual Counselor and an Authentic Happiness Coach. I’ve been interested in the question of “How to Achieve Happiness that genuinely nurtures your Authentic Self” for many years now. Yes, I’m an old soul in more ways than one. Discovering my Purpose and my Authentic Nature When I was eight I was disturbed at the display of aggression and unhappiness in my fellow students (Does this seem familiar today too). I thought, “this cannot be the way we are meant to live. I was convinced that humans have a higher purpose and a higher consciousness that could be used to make this world a happier place in which to live. At that early age I intuitively knew that to make...
What is the point of spiritual development?
We use all different types of methods to help improve who we are. We exercise and we read and we think about who we are on the earth and try to grow in our lives A very good way to learn to grow is through spiritual development. Doing spiritual exercises like downloadable meditations helps us to teach our higher selves or subconscious, invaluable lessons. Through the hundreds of development circles with guided meditations we have been privileged to be part of and run , we have seen how as a person learns to communicate better and with the correct boundaries with spirit, they also learn to do the same with people on the earth. A great example of this is when one of our students told us that when she...
Myth Busting the Law of Attraction
In the last week I've had several 'spiritual' discussions with people about money. Today, I got another one of those money fairy emails, this one with a threat of loved ones dying if I broke the chain! Seriously? People have so many misconceptions and issues about money, finances, wealth and abundance. So desperate are we for meaning in our lives we flock to anything that might spiritually explain our place and worth in the universal scheme of things. Add to that an unquenchable thirst for stuff and material wealth and you end up with a confused and frustrated population easily influenced by superstition and phony baloney promises. We were absolutely ecstatic when suddenly the airwaves exploded with...
The Path to True Inner Peace, True Happiness...
The other day I received an email that said, "The shortcut to anything you want in your life is to be and feel happy now." It seems inspirational on the surface, and virtually everyone wants happiness, inner peace, and spiritual abundance, but a statement like that is just another example of a success technique or "prescription" that doesn't work - or that you can't actually take action on, no matter how hard you try. There are many methods to help you experience success and happiness, from setting goals to hypnosis to repeating affirmations to focusing on what you want and having it appear, to visualization and using the so-called Law of Attraction. All of these approaches assume that you are in...
The Ancient Walk-About Way Of Adi Da Samraj
Adi Da Samraj is a distinctive spiritual teacher, philosopher, and artist. His divine teachings are a light to humanity. He is not an orthodox teacher who leads people through sheer superstition; rather he is one who awakens. He is a contemporary Buddha; in him the Divine manifests in its uttermost glory. In his individuality one finds manifestation of spiritual, philosophical, literary, and artistic genius. When he asserts that he is the One, that divine guru who awakens, then he speaks the ultimate the truth of Vedanta. His writings throw light on his wisdom and the truth he inaugurates. In the very beginning of the essay, "I Am The One Who Would Awaken You" in his book The Ancient Walk-About Way...

There are 7 Chohans, one for each ray. A Chohan is an Ascended Master, who is selected by the Maha Chohan to focus the Christ Consciousness of their ray. Their selection is based on to the degree before and after their ascension, they embodied the Laws of their Ray. The Mahan Chohan represents the Holy Spirit in all 7 of the rays.

Self Help - Mind Body Spirit Information That...
Regardless of personal viewpoint about spirituality, many have wondered what would have happened if Saddam Hussein hadn't been stopped when he first invaded Kuwait back in the early nineties? Well, this story explores that scenario to its surprising conclusion and then reinvents the scene time and again in a sequence similar to 'Groundhog Day' but in a self help mind, body, spirit theme. The result is a story that has led many readers to question their concept of so-called reality! I initially believed I was writing a fictional story about angel ET benefactors influencing our world. But when I completed the first book, The Blue Star Millennium, found on , many readers were convinced that the...
Preparing For 2012 - A Psychic & Intuitive...
Phew, the energy out there has been intense lately! It seems that everyone I know is going through a time of profound questioning. Much has been written about Earth Changes and 2012. But what does that mean for you on an emotional and spiritual level now? I offer some points of contemplation as well as real world examples of psycho-spiritual preparation in action! What if more people expressed more Divine Love? What if more people had humility? What if more people could see a glimmer of Light in everyone else? What if more people had greater compassion? What if more people had a greater percentage of their identity coming from the knowledge that they're a Beacon of Light from Source and a lesser...
Inner peace and joy are spiritual gifts. The gifts of Spirit enter the heart when we make the choices we need to make to be available to them. What are these choices? PRESENCE Peace and joy exist in this present moment - not in the past or future. If you are in your left-brain ego programmed mind - your wounded self - you are likely thinking about the past or the future with a desire to have control over something. The moment you are out of the moment with a desire to control, you cut off access to the spiritual gifts of peace and joy, as well as to the gifts of love and truth. GRATITUDE The heart needs to be open in order to receive the gifts of Spirit. Nothing opens the heart faster than deep...
The Secret To Living From Your Higher Self
What does it mean to live from your higher self? The idea of the higher self is an age old spiritual understanding and it is one of the universal beliefs present in virtually every religion and tradition from the beginning of time. When primitive man stared up at the night sky, transfixed by the moon and stars he realized that there is something bigger than himself and that there is a universal intelligence behind life and creation. Even though all this seemed much beyond himself, primitive man realized his intricate connection to this life force - always seeking ways to connect to it and to strengthen his relationship to That which he felt an indescribable connection to. Much has changed since then...
Nodal School - Quick Lessons
Where we find Rahu in the chart is the new lesson for this lifetime, but Rahu is the planet of great obsession too, so the lesson itself can become an obsession and keep us in the clutches of maya. Where we find Ketu is the tool to help us learn the new Rahu lesson in life, this tool might happen through both negative or positive experiences, Ketu is also the answer to our moksha or spiritual liberation.. So we should use this tool to move forward on the spiritual ascending path..Sometimes Ketu can cause stagnation, because we tend to identify ourselves with it too much, rather than venturing into our Rahu lesson. Rahu in 1st, Ketu in 7th...Rahu in Aries, Ketu in Libra We have to learn about...
Hypnosis is a term used to describe a non-ordinary state of consciousness that allows clients to respond to suggestion with higher than normal receptivity. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. Hypnosis is a state that can spontaneously come about for a person or it is a state that can be self-induced or induced with the help of a facilitator or hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy is the practice of therapy that takes place in the non-ordinary state of hypnotic consciousness. Hypnotherapy directly engages the client's conscious and subconscious mind in the process of doing therapy. The hypnotherapy process is usually interactive and involves verbal and non-verbal communications between the client and...
Yoga and Spiritual Self-Reconciliation
Yoga is a broad term, but it has many styles that are encompassed within this health maintenance system. Most forms of Yoga address physical, mental, and spiritual health - while some are a little strong in one area, but might be a bit lacking somewhere else. One example would be Hatha Yoga and its many popular sub-styles. When Yoga traveled outside India, it evolved into non-Hindu cultures who chose to keep the spiritual aspect out of Yoga classes. Yoga is not a religion, but Hindu principles do exist within some Yoga studios. For example: Yama and Niyama are Hindu principles, but many of us would recognize them as universal principles within all religions. We are all familiar with not stealing...
Nothingness - That Which Has No Substance...
What is the true nature of reality? What you see, hear and touch is a reflection of energy organized into forms of matter. Your senses perceive energy waves through nerve reactions in the brain and it creates the thoughts about what you see, hear and touch. These thoughts are your experience of the world. The world of form changes constantly. All living things are changing s they go through their life cycle, Non Living things also change based on their environment. The mind has a hard time comprehending the absolute, from which all things flow. Words are limited in describing the vast field of energy that is the basis for all. In meditation you can free your mind from attachment to thought, and...
Many people are interested in living more meaningful lives in which their actions are based on ethical and compassionate principles and a larger awareness of life and our connection to the universe. As life gets faster and the world gets closer through technological advancements, many people are trying to grasp with how they live their day-to-day lives in balance and harmony. Concepts such as sustainability, green business, organic food, energy efficiency, spirituality, equality, human & animal rights, health & well-being and non-violence become more common and make up part of what I call Conscious Living. Being "aware" of our actions and framing this in a larger context is also an essential...
Yoga and Its Benefits
The aim of any true spiritual path is to raise our awareness to allow us to directly perceive the spiritual dimension. Being spiritual means to recognize one's own spirituality and recognize the transcendental essence of ourselves and others. It also means to see that we are all connected to God and to respect each other in that regard. That is one of the objectives of Yoga. But how can we be sure that there even is a God? This comes through a reawakening of our higher sense of awareness and the knowledge of our spiritual identity. It is through the process of yoga and the path of Sanatana-dharma that we can reach this higher awareness and comprehend exactly who we are. The Yoga-sutras of Patanjali...
Sacred Places of Australia - Parallels in...
p>As a DNA Theta Healing practitioner and a native born Australian, I have often been struck by the parallels Theta Healing shares with Aboriginal natural healing. With DNA Theta Healing we work with belief systems: Genetic Beliefs, Core Beliefs, Soul Beliefs and History Beliefs. We are also working with quantum physics. There is no separation between you and environment. The way you react to something is the way it comes back to you. What you think is what you get. With DNA Theta Healing we are able to trace our beliefs to very specific times, specific people, and specific places. It just like going on walkabout like the Aborigines of Australia, however instead of going on a walkabout in the...
Spiritual Etiquette
Just as it would be frowned upon to pass wind or burp in public, as this goes against the generally accepted social code of conduct, so there are certain attitudes that are not going to support us in our spiritual life. If we would enter the stream of expanded consciousness and evolution, then we need to be aware of the spiritual code of conduct. Once on a spiritual path, our evolution is closely linked to the high invisible entities. These entities are 'turned off' by certain behaviors. Our evolution is dependent on their help. It would be helpful for us to be aware of the habits that stop us from getting help from them. We live in a material age. So it is hardly surprising that even our approach...
Spiritual Path - Finding Your Purpose
How do you know if you are on your spiritual path? What is spiritual growth? Your life is your spiritual path and if you are wondering whether you are growing spiritually, you are. Each second of your life is an opportunity to fulfill your purpose here on earth and no moment is too insignificant to ignore. As you go through your day, coming into contact with different people, do you take each encounter as an opportunity? How would you feel if you had been in a deserted place and not seen another person for weeks or maybe even months? You would be elated to see someone. However in the course of our daily activity we overlook those entering an exiting in our lives. Are we so busy thinking about our...
The Spiritual Quest
Most spirituality information is concerned with the question of, "what are some of the challenges people face when attempting to live a more spiritual life and how they can overcome them?" The biggest challenge people face when attempting to live a more spirituallife is that they are going against a lifetime of conditioning andbeliefs that have continually reinforced the idea that they are a separateperson from all other people, places and things. They have been taught their whole lives to view the world exclusively through their physical senses and to believe in Newtonian physics which tells us that the universe ismechanical and so are we. Because of this conditioning many people define themselves...
Coach Pete's Tips - How to Connect With Your...
Recent surveys have shown that the overwhelming majority people believe in a god, creator or a Supreme Being. Most people pray and believe their prayers are heard. There have even been studies indicating that prayer can speed up healing. The great majority of the world's people believe in the existence of a Supreme Being. We may call God by different names but fact is all civilizations, cultures and tribes since the beginning of time believed in a power greater than themselves. There is a saying that there are no atheists in a fox hole. As some one who has experienced combat I can attest to the truth of this statement. When faced with a crisis even the most battle hardened soldier prays. A November...
How Discovering Law of Attraction Can be...
Law of attraction is based on the principle that ‘You Attract What You Want.’ Sadly, none of us attract what we want. Instead, we are getting what we don’t want. Here, reality of life questions the law of Nature. Which is true? Human Life or Nature? Confused. Now the only soul on earth that can reveal you the Ultimate truth is the ‘Great Guru.’ Clad in saffron, these spiritual gurus preach the theory of existence and the theory of life: starting from the story of Creation, they will draw your minds through millions of years and leave your mind completely blank and intoxicated that ultimately you forget what you are. Why did the love guru fail? They fail simply because they do not teach...
Wicca is one of the most misunderstood traditions that is around. Due to media and history, witches are classed as demon worshipping, animal sacrificing freaks. But it is not like that at all. There are now days different types of Wiccans, which form into two different groups, modern Wicca and Traditional Wicca. These two groups also include covens and solitary practitioners. Even though Wicca is a branch of the Pagan Religion, it is a tradition all of its own. So what is Wicca. So many people who practice wicca have different views of what wicca is, and there is always the debate about whether it is a religion or a tradition. And to tell you the truth there is no wrong answer when it comes to that...
Are You Getting Inspired By Spiritual Gurus...
These flamboyant self help gurus are not really moved by the worries of the world as it appears to many; rather, they are laughing from within thinking of the fortune awaiting them in the form of worries of their disciples. The more the worries are, the richer they are. Sadly, even the educated class of our society is also falling preys to these frauds. With innumerable problems surrounding them, these people blindly believe that they can get an immediate cure by extracting a share of spiritual energy from these magicians. Spiritual energy refers to the energy of the mind. Somewhere in the past, the concept of spiritualism collided with religion in many worlds, leading to confusion among the people...
Nestled in the old-growth forests surrounding Cassadaga Lake in Eastern New York, the community of Lily Dale sits as a beaconing force to the Spiritualists of the world. Sometimes dubbed as "The Town That Talks to the Dead," Lily Dale is considered by many to be the central location of the Spiritualist movement. Even though this fascinating place attracts thousands of visitors and devoted followers each year, it remains a mystery to most people. There are many questions about the history of the place and what it meant to the people who founded it. What is this place exactly? What did the Fox sisters have to do with it? How was a prominent political leader like Susan B. Anthony involved? Read on to...
By their very nature, controversial religious movements grab the public's attention, creating an interest in the religion and bringing out supporters and critics alike. The Church of Scientology, Wicca, Mormonism, and Jehovah's Witnesses are all examples of religions that have received much notoriety for their belief systems, with much of this attention being negative and continuing to present day. However, this type of attention is not limited to these modern-day religious sects. It can be traced back thousands of years. In fact, one of the largest and most controversial religious movements was that of Spiritualism, which was founded in the 1840s. The story of the religion itself as well as how its...
Beyond Duality The wisdom that Spirit shares too that these illusions within the ego self of the soul are a gift, that when we are choosing to reside "only" within the ego self of the soul's rabbit hole or ego fits are we free from seeing the present being gifted to us. That sometimes within another soul or event gifting us with the soul rememberings Through life experience that we are meant to remember, embrace, and treasure that these soul rememberings may come through here in the field of duality we live in as the opposite of that soul remembering through life experience so that we may choose to remember, embrace, and treasure the soul remembering. I came away from that film then with the...
Chi, the Boundless Life-Energy You Can Tap
The word has its roots in the ancient Chinese culture and philosophy. Chi refers to the natural energy that pervades the entire universe. It is the life force of all living beings as well. It has metaphysical connotations. It is at once supernatural and paranormal. There are quite a few terms or expressions that represent chi in various countries or regions. In India, for instance, it is 'prana' (breath) and 'therapeutic touch' and in Japan it is ki, 'the life force energy'. Reiki, a Japanese healing technique, uses the 'spiritually guided life force energy' for curing illnesses. Some of the earliest recorded philosophies in China mention the 'metaphysical energy' that flows through and sustains...
White Sun - The Three Realms
All sentient beings reside in these three realms of the universe. We exist in the realm of human beings. The deities exist in the realm of spiritual world and the suffering souls in the realm of the underworld which is Hell. The realms of spiritual world and underworld are intangible and invisible to us. Human beings were born in the realm of spiritual world as deities because of their benevolent or righteous deeds while as humans on earth. They will exist for a certain period of time because they are not immortal yet. They are not fully enlightened beings and still have to travel in the cycle of birth and death just like us when their 'life' comes to an end. There is no suffering there and deities...
White Sun - The Heart Teaching
The Sutra of Hui Neng said that, "Since time immemorial, it has been the practice for one Buddha to pass on the original truth to his chosen successor, and from one patriarch to another to transmit the awareness of the original heart." This transmission was accomplished without words. It was the teaching that went directly from heart to heart. What was passed down from one generation to the next was the heart teaching, the direct link between human nature and divine essence. This teaching enabled the past saints and sages to see beyond forms and made it possible for them to perceive with perfect clarity, no confusion, contradiction or conflict. They were then able to practise the truth with...
Seeking Guidance From Guardian Angels
Angels are known to be messengers of God, often depicted to be winged creatures. These supernatural beings are believed widely in many religions, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and even Hinduism. Angels are mystical beings that serve as a link or an intermediary between man and his Supreme Creator. In the Christian Bible, they are known to be the attendants to God's throne, God's messenger to his people, and personal guardians to each and every person. While there are also evil angels or fallen angels, the divine angels are the ones that people can look up to for guidance and help. It is possible to ask help from guardian angels as it is believed that every one has them. In Hebrews for...
A Window Into Another Dimension
Gazing at the artwork of Orna Benshoshan feels like stepping into another world - a world of endless possibilities, of distant horizons and landscapes full of light and mystical figures that play, dance, meditate and experience life on a higher sphere of being. Having an Orna Benshoshan painting on your wall is like having a window to another dimension. This is a natural result of Orna’s process, which involves opening her consciousness and channeling images that come to her from a different realm of existence. Though she never completed formal Art studies, Orna has a distinct style of her own, marked by her bold use of color and her unique sense of form, light and space. While the...
Jesus Was a New Age Guru
After years of searching, learning and growing spiritually I came to a realization one day when reading the bible on a hunch that I had. I had this hunch after developing my school of thought based on the law of attraction and that all things in the universe are connected. I asked myself the question, what if we really misunderstood what Jesus was teaching? My hunch was confirmed when I started looking in depth at the gospels. I realized that Jesus was the first new age guru! I was a person that grew up in a family that was deeply religious. Many in my extended family believed that the bible and its teachings were the word of God. They believed that the bible was whole, without error and the...
Discover the benefits of daily journaling
Introduction The word journal comes from the French “jour” which means day. Journaling each day is having a visit with your best friend, you. This ancient practice dates back to the 10th century Japan. Successful people throughout history have kept journals. Journaling has a positive impact on your well being. James Pennebaker, researcher, states that writing strengthens the immune system and decreases symptoms of asthma and arthritis. He also states that writing about stressful things helps you come to grips with them and thus reduces stress in your life. Journaling is a chance to explore ideas in an unstructured environment. Christina Baldwin: “Journal writing is a voyage to...

The next level up from a psychic reading, or psychic medium readings, is called a channelled reading. Click here for an accurate phone psychic medium reading or psychic reading medium phone reading During this type of reading the channeller is not a medium or a psychic in the traditional sense but they will have developed their sixth sense by meditating and other disciplines and be able to reach the outer realms where other beings of energy reside, have intelligence and are able to communicate that intelligence through the channel to the sitter.
