Self Help: Coping With Setbacks In Your Progress

February 14, 2011

Self help improvement is like a process of travelling a spiral, not going round in a circle (although it may feel like that at times). The spiral widens out and we become more expansive and better over time, although sometimes it may seem like we are back at exactly the same point. You have to keep faith at times that you really are improving. You may be back at the same place in some ways, but you are seeing it differently, with a new and heightened awareness. Remember that.

Chinese New Year 2011

February 4, 2011

The other thing that is most useful about the Chinese New Year, for me at any rate, is the Feng Shui aspects to it. I have been practicing Feng Shui, the art of placing items in strategic places around the home in order to maximize beneficial influences and minimize negative forces, for a number of years now. Now, whether you are skeptical about the efficacy of this practice or not, the fact is that it does focus the mind and gives you rituals to perform that symbolically tunes your mind towards what you want to achieve in your life. It turns your home into a symbolic and sacred space. Esoterically, it reinforces that YOU are the center of power in your life, and that you can conduct and use the invisible spiritual energies around you to manifest in the physical world, for good or for ill.

Using The Body for Emotional Intelligence & Intuition

February 1, 2011

We start to gain access to this inner body guidance when we simply begin to develop awareness; to go within and pay attention to what our inner being is trying to tell us through the medium of the physical body. If you have never paid heed to your body and its messages to you, but simply regard it as a vehicle to get you around in life, then you are not only closed to ANY form of guidance from this direction whatsoever, but you are also at grave risk of ignoring critical messages that the body is trying to communicate to you about your physical health. Illness is most often a manifestation of inattention to the needs of your physical, mental and spiritual being. If you cannot even receive THESE critical messages, then you are definitely closed to the infinitely more subtle refined messages that are available all the time.

Initiative & Goal Setting For A Truly Empowered Life

January 31, 2011

Initiative. This is a word that we hear often and believe we understand. However, most people have no idea what it means in a practical sense, certainly not with reference to themselves. Passivity seems to be the order of the day. All too often, we look to others for the lead in what to think, [...]

Can Animals Have Mystical Experiences Too?

January 4, 2011

This is an idea that makes sense to me. We find that, contrary to previous prejudice, neither language nor tool-making are unique to human beings. Various animals share these abilities. Now, the latest research indicates that animals may also share in our ability to have mystical experiences. Here’s an interesting article about the possibility that [...]

Dealing With Bereavement, Grief & Loss

October 4, 2010

When we encounter some sort of life tragedy, there is an understandable human tendency to shut down. We experience mourning, bereavement, depression, intense sadness. It might be the loss of a loved one or of something we valued such as a job or a home. It might even be some sort of physical handicap such as the amputation of a limb.

Such feelings are normal and part of the human condition. Indeed, even animals are known to grieve the loss of loved ones, or go through huge emotional changes when subject to massive upheaval of environment. Hence, there is nothing abnormal about feeling deep emotions of loss or regret….
