Somewhere between the ancient world and the modern world, exists this divide, or at least, it's perceived that they are divided. When this conversation happens, it is usually predictable. The modern world is demonized with its technology and busy pace. And a romancing begins of by-gone eras of ancient village life, which can still be experienced in parts of the world untouched by modernization. There is a push to get back to nature, back to basics. We visit these ancient societies, and…

Elevated states of consciousness are not only for “special people” who dedicate their lives to meditating on a mountain top or in a monastery.  They are possible for all human beings, and make us more present in our daily activities.  We can choose how to be in every moment, we can choose love and happiness, bringing the spiritual into our daily activities, to totally transform our human experience.

Empathy is defined as “the psychological identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.” Empathy results from understanding another deeply.

There is a story about an old Chinese farmer who lived in ancient times. He was the envy of his rather small village, because unlike most of the other farmers, he possessed a horse. One day, however, his horse ran away and his neighbors who soon heard of his misfortune were quick to offer him words of consolation. “What a shame that you’ve lost your horse; how…

Our ego plays an extremely important role in our life—survival. Its single purpose is to ensure our daily and mortal survival. Unlike what has often been written or said, it can exert a positive, as well as negative impact upon our lives, including the connection between our humanity and Divinity. Understanding its true purpose and potential for good can allow us to fully live and experience the best of what we and life have to offer—humanly and spiritually.

Ego—Our…

Abstract: Learning that we are the ones that have control of each and every thought and emotion, and that it is up to us to really observe our self and also our surroundings to see what is happening around us that may lead to that emotion.

When you wake up in the morning, you have a choice to make, to either begin each day with a clean start, or hold on to things from yesterday or even further back. This was something taught to me as I began my healing journey 9 months ago.…

To the degree that old unhealed wounds and unmet needs are carried into adulthood, we will see our partner as having the power, even the responsibility to rescue us from this pain by providing us finally, with the quality of love that we never received.

It answers specific questions in nonlinear and non-empirical ways. Once we learn how intuition gives us information, simple tips can help us begin to tap its power in our lives, from learning what intuitive abilities are to tracking practical, intuitive…

Most couples wait too long to get help. Unnecessary suffering occurs in secrecy and isolation when you are too embarrassed to ask for assistance. The time to get help for your marriage is when one (not both) of you feels the need for it. Putting this agreement in place before things deteriorate will support early intervention and prevent painful, time-consuming…

Abstract

It's time to reclaim ourselves. It's easy to come second in the busyness of the modern world. Without self, we become weakened to the affects of illness, and become unable to adapt to the constantly changing world around us. Finding and keep self is the foundation of a happy, balanced life.

The modern world is filled with busyness. It demands our attention. Other dominate our time and energy. We struggle to…
