Although it is often distressing to feel confused about what next step to take on your spiritual growth path, the mental state of confusion is actually a higher state of consciousness than being certain of your beliefs and spiritual principles. Feeling confused or "lost" is actually a signal that you are about to be given the opportunity to take a big leap forward in your spiritual growth. That is, you are being given the opportunity to become even more of your Authentic Self, living your life On Purpose, while experiencing more Joy and less struggle in your life. Confusion is a red light that is telling you to STOP! LOOK! and LISTEN! It is telling you that you are reaching a crossroad,[..]

The Law of Rhythm is basically indicating an expression of habits. A habit is something you do consistently, therefore it has a rhythmic movement to it. The Law of Rhythm shows you your habits and those of society and the planet. For instance the planet is in the habit of going from season to season, that is the rhythm of nature. Words are merely trying to convey the concepts for you to achieve a realisation of the principle behind the outward actions. Please take these words very precisely and loosely at the same time knowing they are trying to create a picture for you to grasp what cannot be expressed in words. The law of rhythm is an expression of habits. Habits are expressed within[..]

Why would anyone, of any religion, seek spiritual growth from Yoga practice? How compatible are Yogic concepts with other religions and philosophies? Is Yoga a wing of Hinduism or an ancient Universalist approach toward living? Let's take a closer look at why people are choosing the Yogic path for their spiritual health. Yoga was practiced for thousands of years by Hindus. When Yoga moved out of India, it was assimilated by people of many cultures and religions. These new non-Hindu Yoga students could not erase their previous religious, philosophical, and political learning. That said, the teachings of Bhakti, Raja, Karma, Jnana, Hatha, Kundalini, Mantra, Tantra, and Yantra Yoga will[..]

Most of us are scared of what others think of us. Especially in regard to our negative beliefs about ourselves which our mind is constantly pre-occupied with disguising as someone else's problem. Usually these negative beliefs have something to do with the fear of revealing our deep insecurity. Our deepest fear, I would say, is that of mass ridicule, or being laughed at. But what have to lose in reality? Can we really lose who we are? I contend that we have nothing in the first place that can be lost. And when you have nothing to lose, you are free. Or the other way of putting it and in the words of one of my favourite singer-songwriters, Bob Dylan, 'When you got nothing, you got nothing[..]

The history of Indian attars goes back for five-thousand years, to the dawn of perfumery. Because they are distilled so gently, attars are like no other perfumes in the world. They retain the vibrational essence of the flowers, and of Mother Earth herself. Long before the word "aromatherapy" was invented, people recognized the healing attributes of attars. For example, Gulab, or Rose Attar, supports a woman's femininity on all levels. Mitti is grounding and calming. Kewda is clarifying, helpful for mental fatigue and creative blocks. For thousands of years, Attars have also been used to enhance meditation and spiritual growth. They still have value for these things to this day. The[..]

When it comes to spiritual growth, most of us know it requires focus, dedication, devotion, and sustained effort. However, what do you do when you have a busy life. Between work and taking care of the children and your husband, what if you barely have ten minutes to yourself anymore. Although spiritual growth might be really important to you, what if you are having a hard time fitting it into your schedule. Here are some suggestions. It is natural and not uncommon to view worldly endeavors and spiritual endeavors as separate functions. From this perspective, one is always competing with the other for your time and attention. On the one hand, you have responsibilities to manage and[..]

Frequently metaphysical growth and progress are described as climbing a spiritual mountain. This is your own personal mountain of growth and evolution. If you wish, you could call it Mount _____ (fill in your own name). I will guarantee you that it is a very tall mountain and will take a great deal of your personal effort to master the climb to the top. The top of this personal mountain may be crystal clear to your view or it could be shrouded in fog or clouds, mysterious yet beckoning. As inviting as this personal spiritual mountain might be to you at this moment, we need to back up for a moment to see a wider perspective. Think of a different tall mountain with an extremely broad base:[..]

As soon as Jesus Christ the good shepherd speaks, those who are his sheep hear his voice and they obey. This is the key and one of the secrets to spiritual growth and development and maturity. Jesus Christ speaks and we obey. It is all really quite simple. He knows every single one of his sheep and Jesus is always giving to his sheep. He feeds them and guides and leads them to good pastures and refreshing water. This is one of the ways whereby we know that we are one of his sheep. He comes to you and guides you and leads and feeds you and refreshes you. Is that happening on a daily basis? Now, do be honest. When you are one of his sheep, not only are you in the hands of Jesus Christ[..]

Although video and web conferencing are making headway due to the visual impact they create, audio conferencing is not perceived as an outdated mode of communication.  It is being developed constantly to enhance user experience and make it more cost effective.  For short talks or concise business meetings, audio conferencing is still vouched for, as a speedier mode and cheaper mode of communication in comparison to its video and web counterparts. Audio teleconferencing is variously referred to as conference call, audio teleconferencing or simply teleconferencing.   While a basic telephone call allows only two callers to participate in a conversation, this service allows more than two[..]

Hearing God speak through the still small voice is a vital medium, apart from the word of God 'The Bible'. The Bible states Elijah was instructed to stand before the Lord but '...the Lord was not in the wind... was not in the earthquake... was not in the fire...after came a gentle whisper...then a voice...' I Kings 19: 11-13, because Elijah heard God's voice his perception changed. Frankly speaking, on rare occasions can we hear God in noisy situations; the reason why we are urged to observe a 'quiet time', a time to refrain from being distracted, a time to be alone with God, is to enable us hear the Lord's voice if He chooses to speak to us, especially if it is through the still small[..]

The use of organic plant nutrients instead of the man-made chemicals in the hydroponic garden eases the work of a gardener. The matter is that the absence of synthetic chemicals eliminates the problem of ppm amount and pH balance of the water. If there is no need to calibrate nutrients, to check pH level of the water, and calculate fertilizer’s amount, a beginner of the hydroponic gardening will definitely make no mistakes, which means many problems may never occur. A dual root growing system is made by special composition of the medium in the container: the upper part of the medium is soil or soil substitute, and organic nutrients can be supplied directly to this upper part; the[..]

Until recently, vinyl banners were looked down upon as low-grade substitutes for other advertising media. But with the technological evolution, these vinyl banners have started gaining pretty decent popularity amongst the masses. A few reasons why they are preferred over their counterparts are: 1.    You can use them for indoor as well as outdoor advertising: The best part about these vinyl banners is that the place where you are planning to put them up would never be a constraint, whether that’s inside your office or your house or even outdoors. They have this characteristic flexible and durable nature, that makes them an instant hit with the banner printing companies.  Moreover,[..]

Hydroponics gardening is a way of growing an industrial plant indoors in the growing medium other than land. One of the methods includes suspending the ancestors in the water resolution with the resolved hydroponic nutrients in it. Such a method offers the industrial plant a possibility to receive all the essential minerals and vitamins for the optimum development. As a result, nutrients are used more effectively and the crops gained with such method are best and richer than those grown with other gardening methods. The majority of gardeners, who grow plants hydroponically inside, choose the Ebb and Flow system, which waters the plants with the service of the set timer and pump,[..]

Using only leftover firewood from his cooking fire and the red yellow substance he found in the dirt floor of his Altamira cave dwelling, Paleolithic man painted bison on the cave wall to such a relatively high level of sophistication that had Picasso gasping "After Altamira, all is decadence." Picasso must have meant that the use by the cave dwellers of crude charcoal and hematite as their paint, and the cave wall as their canvas to express their innermost fears, doubts, and joy is an art form so primal and pure it could never again be duplicated. All the modern decorative painter might probably want to do is to come up with faux verdigris finish for the cheap metal wall art he came[..]

It is the most popular service with people wanting to invest in the forex market as well. But, finding a good broker is not easy as you have to do a lot of research on the internet and read up the reviews posted by traders to get a hang of their customer service and speed at which deals are transacted.

She finds herself working in a law office. She's there on the weekend to catch up with some typing but doesn't mind doing the overtime because she likes to be caught up and have everything in order by Monday morning. She tells him that the year is 1941 and she finds herself typing away listening to the radio. Gerry asks her who is playing on the radio. She answered by reciting a few musical groups from the time. Benny Goodman is what is currently playing, currently in her mind in 1941 that is. So after collecting all the small details of this particular day he then says to her, "Okay, in a moment I'm going to lift your arm and drop it, and when I do I want you to go to the most[..]

The origin and history of tarot cards and readings is oft contested; some theories point to Northern Italy in the 15th Century, some say they date to medieval times in Western Europe. The modern incarnation of tarot cards are derived from Italy and the meanings they represent haven't changed. Traditionally Tarot cards were said to be used for entertainment and card games, but they are currently used for meditation and for giving fortune readings. People often go for Tarot card readings to try and solve problems and for self improvement reasons. A tarot deck is made up 78 cards with each featuring different pictures or symbols. There are many different types of tarot card decks that are[..]

The world of Tarot is a wondrous and fascinating place filled with mystical power and interesting legend. How the various tarot decks evolved from their original form to that of the common deck of playing cards is one of the best stories in history, but let us take a look at some of the most well known cards that make up the old-fashioned tarot deck. Remember, however, that many different tarot decks contain different cards from one another. Especially in the case of the minor arcana, the suits can change from deck to deck. There is not any consensus right deck, they all have their own powers to help a trained reader divine the future. 1) The Fool One of the best known cards in the tarot[..]

There are three layers of interpretation when you read the tarot cards. First, the individual cards and it's traditional meanings. Second, the card's meanings according to the corresponding positions in a layout. Third, how the rest of the cards relate to each other. Elemental Dignities is a method of giving special attention to and eliminating irrelevant cards based on the card's elements (air, fire,earth,water) It is also called dissonance and resonance. Each suit/element is strengthened, weakened or remained neutral in the presence of other suits and it basically transcends the individual meanings of the cards. So here are the rules: 1. When the suits/elements are the same, they[..]

It's interesting because, while the popularity of psychicshas waxed and waned over the course of the last severalhundred years in popular culture, even with today'sscientific, "prove it to me" mentality, there has never beena better time to get work if you've got the gift! Thankfully, the days of the stereotypical traveling psychiccircus are long behind us, and many of us enjoy our rightfulplace in professional society, alongside other hard workingservice industry people whose primary focus is to helpothers. Now, while it is true that it's not quite as easy asbrowsing the local yellow pages for work, but of course,with technology being so readily available, you are going tohave a number[..]

If you thought being psychic or having some special natural power was scary then it is time you thought again. There are studies that go to prove that it is quite possible and find it quite feasible for the brain to understand and know a lot of things that are outside the range we call normal. Technical subjects like science and technology don't provide us with all the answers and there are still things defy the common logic and reasoning. There are still many unexplored and unexplained facts that we see day to day that are separate from our reasoning mastery. Extra sensory projection (ESP) is one such common marvel that has been accepted all over as a special power that certain humans[..]

This article is the final one in a series about releasing unresolved feelings or painful experiences by clearing and cleansing the aura and your chakras. In this second part of the final article, you will learn a technique you can use for yourself and your children to balance your chakras and release anything that keeps them from working in a healthy way. Chakra Meditation Before you begin, place a drop of the essential oil blend in the palm of your hand and rub your hands together.

First Chakra: Think about the color red and see it[..]

An intuitive reading provides information about who you are as a spirit and your path in this lifetime. Readings are best for those who want to gain greater spiritual insight into the issues they are facing, or if feeling challenged to access answers that are emotionally based. As I read an individual, I help them to look inward guiding them gently while opening doorways and helping interpret what's is found behind those doors. A reading can be a very enlightening experience. My clients are surprised at the accuracy of the information they receive, and the outcomes of exploring this information. I am often asked by clients to look at why someone in their life is causing them so much pain[..]

Long gone are the days when teams would fear opening a three game series against Oakland. They'd go up against Mark Mulder on Friday night, face Tim Hudson on Saturday and then wake up early and try to salvage a game against Barry Zito on Sunday. A trio that dominant hadn't been seen since Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and John Smoltz were in the same Atlanta Brave fraternity. And just like the timing of a live grenade, Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane knew when to let go. Mulder was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals for Danny Haren, Kiko Calero and minor league catcher Daric Barton. Hudson was shipped to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for Charles Thomas, Dan Meyer and Juan Cruz.[..]

This one simple request resulted in such precious practical teaching. Never be afraid or slow to make relevant requests. We move onto Luke Chapter 11 and verse 13. It is another very precious moment on the journey to Calvary. We read of Jesus Christ praying - Jesus at Prayer - Jesus communicating with His Father. And Jesus says to us His Disciples - "Follow Me". Here is one way to follow Him more closely - in the realm of prayer. This is one very practical way whereby we can be obedient to God - simply by praying. When we read of Jesus praying - it is as if we are on very holy ground - and we can almost feel like intruders, as we overhear Jesus talking with His Father. When Jesus[..]

What vital lessons can we learn from these words written around 3,300 years ago? There are many sound solid practical relevant lessons if we are willing to make the time to understand. I have been reading and studying and teaching from the early Chapters of the exciting book of Exodus, and this scenario takes place in Chapter 5 as Moses and Aaron go in to see Pharaoh and ask to be permitted to go and worship the Lord God Almighty. Pharaoh said, "Who is the Lord that I should obey Him?" I do not know the Lord, and I will not let Israel go. Subject closed! Pharaoh thought he was the great I AM! And the command is issued - verse 7 -no longer supply the people with straw for bricks! This[..]

Can fear and faith live alongside each other in the one person? Whatever made you ask that question? Well, there is a lot of fear out there just now and may just be increasing as this serious financial crisis continues and as the political disturbances and bloody global conflicts appear to be increasing at an alarming rate. Yes, fear and faith are both very real and it is possible to experience both simultaneously. Consider these men of faith in New Testament times. When Paul came to Corinth he experienced weakness, fear and much trembling, and his faith was strong. His preaching was not an exhibition of oratorical wisdom, nor persuasive words, but the power of God flowed through him,[..]

How many of us are where we are today because someone has prayed for us? We have been brought to salvation and to fellowship and service because of someone's precious prayer. Who are you praying for? Keep on praying. Never give in. Never give in. Remember Jesus saying to Simon Peter, "Simon, I have prayed for you." That did not prevent him from sinning, but he was forgiven and loved and restored and emerged as that dynamic leader. When we see someone erring, the Biblical teaching is, to go straight to God, and seek to pray them back. Another thing we learn here in these concluding sentences of John's first letter, is that in the believer, continuing sin and continuous sin is avoided and[..]

We are encouraged and instructed in Psalm 134 to lift up our hands as we worship the living God, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Worship is the highest activity in which any man can be involved. When we worship our audience is Almighty God. Praise and lift up your hands. There is an emphasis on praise. God is serious about Praise. This is a serious matter. To lift up holy hands is appropriate. It is not to make us look good or super spiritual, nor to draw attention to ourselves, but as gesture of worship. It is a biblical expression of praise. In the New Testament it is commanded! When it comes to Praise and Worship, leadership is so vitally important. It is as if we are[..]

The birth and launching of the Church of Jesus Christ teaches us today some crucial significant letters must never be evaded nor avoided. It would unwise and irresponsible to do so, yet there are people who compromise on what is taught in the scriptures. In the opening verses of Acts Chapter 2, where Dr Luke tells us how The Church of Jesus Christ was launched and birthed, we have elements and characteristics were are absolutely vital. Is this exaggeration or accurate? Some people were baffled, amazed and perplexed when Jesus Christ poured out the Holy Spirit, baptising these women and men. Only God would have used such a radical method - and in such a setting - the Temple in[..]

I would love to discuss with everyone called the stages of a "Major Life Crisis." We all go through this process sooner or later in our lives. But when this cycle hits us, it brings us to a state of confusion which we don't feel comfortable within ourselves. It feels like a tornado just carried us into an unsafe place within our own inner being of fear and insecurities. Our lives are being changed all at once. One moment we feel that the universe is taking care of us and then "VAVOOM". A Major Life Crisis makes us feel as if we want to either run away from the problems or it puts you into a state of mental, emotional, and spiritual warfare. Sometimes you just feel helpless and allow life[..]

It has long been surmised that emotional trauma can lead to physical illness. It is also conceptualized that such toxic trauma fragments may exist at the level of our energy fields. Treatments such as EFT ( Emotional Freedom Technique(TM)), TFT (Thought Field Therapy(TM)), TT (Therapeutic Touch(TM)) and others seek to restore the individual's energy field. What, if any, effect might this have on others close to the client such as family members, friends, colleagues etc.? If we are connected via a collective energy field, then it is reasonable to speculate that some, or all, of the "negative" information in this realm may be detrimental to others around the holder of such negativity[..]

One of the greatest challenges of our times for individuals like yourself is to be connected to the Great Divine. Yes, I know, the "Great Divine" is another term for God. And that is one of the reasons we are challenged so in these times. The word "God" is so full of baggage. Terrorists use the term to help them describe what it is they believe they are doing. (I am not defending terrorists. I am merely stating a fact; they often use the term "god" to somehow justify their heinous acts.) Further, so many people in the Baby Boomer generation have come to this time with all kinds of ideas of what God is and is not. Many still hold that God is a punishing Agent when we have done "wrong."[..]
