Reconnect From Within

What does it mean to listen?”

Most people have heard of “the still small voice” but perhaps never related it to a voice that is heard all the time. We hear this voice through hunches and gut feelings. We hear it through flashes of insight and intuition. In the East its known as “The Adjuster of Perception” and some call it “The Holy Spirit” or “The Comforter”. It matters not what you call it. Everyone, at some time or another has heard a voice or got a feeling that felt like or was interpreted as instruction of some kind.

These feelings, when looked at “after the fact” are called “hindsight”. There is a saying that describes this instruction when it has not been followed. Its goes this way, “Hindsight is 20/20″. This means that the feelings or instructions we got are never wrong. This is the truth. Read the rest of this entry »

Today there is a powerful spirituality movement.  When I say spirituality I am not speaking of religion; I am speaking of something different–a connection with the Divine.  This connection is what many mystics call “union with God.”  Sometimes this happens through a religious path, but not often.  When it does the person who achieves divine union usually finds herself on the outside looking in.

One time a minister in a somewhat interfaith organization told me that the spiritual ministers usually didn’t make it as successful ministers.  That statement and the truth of it says something in itself, I think.  Spirituality is not a good thing when it comes to maintaining buildings or systems, which are basically the little units of power that everyone needs in order to be able to function in a power-over society.  Spiritual people draw on another source of power that is shared by everyone and everything.

If you really want to know “the secret,” access your business creativity and live your Life Purpose, there’s one jewel in your treasure chest you must dig out, polish up and wear proudly – the gem is your intuition. Without it, you are likely to be confused and looking to others for your own answers.

Now, that being said, it’s perfectly good and necessary to seek out spirituality and business knowledge from others. However, there is a difference between being a workshop junkie and being a truth seeker. The workshop junkie looks for the next quick fix of temporary, adrenaline-induced inspiration (quick to wear off), while the truth seeker looks within and asks, “Hey you, what do you really want to study and learn about next?” She then finds her next step – whether it be a new relationship, an enlightening book, a tele-class or a workshop (wisdom lasts a lifetime).

“You learn that if you sit down in the woods and wait, something happens.”

- Henry David Thoreau.

Deepening what you know about your spirituality, and deepening your spirituality per se, are two different things. Deepening what you know about spirituality is relatively easy; just read everything you can get your hands on, go to lectures, talk endlessly with all kinds of people, and soon you will deepen what you know about spirituality. You might even become an expert and know everything there is to know about spirituality! Trouble is, knowing and being are two very different levels. We can know all there is to know about spirituality, yet not be spiritual at all.

Many people these days want to deepen their faith, but they haven’t a clue how to do it. They may pick up some hints, such as it requires solitude and a one-on-one relationship with that which is sacred, but this is rarely talked about in our congregations, because we need to congregate! None of this solitary business, how would the church pay its bills? Read the rest of this entry »

Mike Adams of News Target. com shares a true story of what is probably the least-understood health secret in the Western world. he claims it is something our doctors never told us and health authorities never learned. And yet it could be the key to solving the very health problems we may be suffering from right now, including high blood pressure, asthma and even arthritis.

 Mike goes on to say that this secret isn’t patented.  It’s not available by prescription and it costs almost nothing. In fact, from time to time, it falls out of the sky and collects in huge poos on the Earth.

Essence is the totality of who you are – the one – just as it is right here right now. Immutable; changeless; timeless; spaceless; depthless; completely independent of all arisings; block of rocklike solidity; infinite darkness; indescribable – none of these descriptions come anywhere near to what it is like – they fall abysmally short of the mark, and your interpretations of these descriptions does not even come close to these “pointers”.

There is no possibility whatsoever of being told of how exquisitely rich this one is, that who you are is. You are going to have to experience this for yourself. You are going to have to travel the “journey of self discovery” yourself.

You can be this essence because who you are is this essence. Read the rest of this entry »

With “Eat, Pray, Love,” by Elizabeth Gilbert, topping the New York Times Best Seller List, and “The Secret” still creating a sensation around the country, there’s little doubt that women are on an individual and collective journey to discern their life’s purpose and awaken their spirituality. Although women continue to believe and participate in traditional religious practices, it’s clear that many women are seeking tools that help them define themselves and inspire them to live the best life possible.

New Age or a Certain Age?

While about 20 percent of women identify with one or more elements of the New Age movement, a much higher percentage are on metaphysical quests – even though they might not define them as such. If you were to break down the demographics, the pattern that emerges is a snapshot of a woman over 40 who has spent most of her life excelling in her career, taking care of her husband and children, or both. It seems as though women of a certain age begin to question their assumptions about their lives, reflecting upon careers spent trying to get ahead and caregiving roles that might not fit as comfortably as they once did.

Taking Stock and Stepping Out

What triggers women to step outside of their lives and critically assess where they’ve been and where they’re going? Perhaps, like Gilbert, they are coming out of a divorce and trying to build a new life. Maybe their children are all in college or married, and they need to redefine themselves. It could be that a parent has died, and they are faced with their own mortality. Rather than the hackneyed “mid-life crisis,” these women are experiencing a “mid-life assessment.” They might have a deeper understanding of who they are, their dreams may have come more clearly into focus, and perhaps they are better able to articulate their priorities. Above all, they are open to utilizing all available tools to help them both achieve their goals and achieve inner peace. Read the rest of this entry »

Health Benefits of Ginger

1. Prepare. Find a quiet place and get comfortable: that’s the first thing you need to do in order to use visualization imagery to manifest your desires. Take a deep breath in and really breathe in as much oxygen as you possibly can. Hold it for a few seconds and then exhale… and as you let each breath go, imagine that you’re releasing all the thoughts you’ve been holding onto – all the thoughts that currently occupy your mind. Just let it all go. Allow all thoughts to float away with each exhaled breath.

2. Relax. Being able to relax is an essential requirement of effective visualization imagery. If you cannot get yourself to relax, you cannot gain the full benefit of a visualization session. Relaxation is the key. You want to get as deeply relaxed as possible. Even if you’ve only got five minutes, strive to reach a deeper level of relaxation each time and the effects of your visualization imagery will be that much more profound.

3. Use power affirmations. Once you’ve got yourself to a calm and peaceful state of mind, it’s time to use some empowering affirmations. Affirmations help to get connected and to reinforce that connection with Source Energy.

Begin with simple affirmation statements such as: I am peace… I am harmony… I and balanced… I am healthy… I am love… I am grateful… I am happy… I am filled with unlimited energy and power.

Just allow yourself to feel the energy of this powerful connection. Allow it to take hold of you flow through your entire body. See in your mind’s eye, this vast universal power you have at your disposal. Bathe in this positive, loving, light energy as it washes down over you. You should feel noticeably stronger and more empowered than you did before.

4. Notice how you feel. If you play full on and let it happen, you can actually feel this energy as it moves in, around and through your body. You may notice it as a powerful surging force. Or you might see it as a pure white light that’s pouring over you. Some tend to feel it as love. Just remember that however you receive, what you’re feeling is energy.

Just imagine that you’re tapping into a higher power. Know that you are part of this Source Energy and that visualization imagery is what enables you to tap into its flow — whenever you want. Allow it to happen. Don’t try to force anything. Just allow this beautiful, powerful, never ending energy to circulate.

5. Appreciate the energy. Love it. Feel deep gratitude for it and know that it’s yours to use at any moment in time. You’ve tapped in and you’re turned on. You’ve made the connection to the divine. Just allow yourself to receive it in whatever way it comes.

When you value it and appreciate it, Source Energy will continue to serve. The more often use visualization imagery where you tap into infinite source energy — the stronger access it on demand. It’s always there, and the more you use it, the more you’ll see wonderful things happening in your life as a result of you tapping into this higher vibration.

6. Look for clues and insights. As you notice your energy escalating to new heights, what you want to do here at this point is to pay attention to the signals, ideas, insights, solutions to a problem as they suddenly appear. You may get the answer to a pressing problem during your visualization, or may come at some point later. But the trick is to simply become aware of the signals as they are presented. Be open to ideas of all sizes and shapes and be sure to capture them by writing them down or by using a digital recorder. Act quickly, so the idea doesn’t escape you.

Visualization imagery allows you to connect with Source Energy. Value this unlimited source of supply and your connection to it. Love it, respect it, cherish it and it will become your greatest ally, helping you make your dreams come true.

Now that you understand the basics, here’s how to make visualization imagery work for you automatically. Just pop in the CD of your choice and follow along. You’ll be gently led on a guided visualization, designed to help you use Source Energy to go from where you are now to wherever you desire.
