There is a real need to find healing, oneness, balance, and peace. This is true at any given moment; it is something we all seek, deep within, and that can be…

The Universe, by design, is an intelligent Universe with math and physics being a key "language" in understanding its laws and principles.  "A Course in Miracles" and the Universal Law of Attraction tells us that the Universe, being Limitless, can't differentiate the scope or magnitude of a Miracle.  The Miracle is just as likely to be something constituted as small as it is grand just by our own perceptions.  Let’s talk about how a Miracle actually "works" and why we shouldn’t put an…

Emotional Pain can be devastating and often occurs after a break up, death or divorce. Emotional pain can also be debilitating. Emotional pain can affect your mood; performance, professional life, relationships, and can occupy your mind and cause you to lose interest in almost everything except your emotional pain. Emotional pain can cause you to fall into depression and cause you to consider yourself worthless. It can even make you feel as if you have no reason to live or induce destructive…

     Living a spiritual life, becoming aware and listening within, is an accelerated path of growth and evolution. Sometimes this journey inspires peaceful, joyous and lofty thoughts, feelings and experiences, but not always. Along the way you are likely to experience times of sudden and unexpected change and confusion.

     I recently saw a client, a woman about to turn forty, whose world and marriage was turned upside…

We humans have many connections to the air element that go far beyond what we might identify most commonly. Sure,…

A love that transcends dimensions and touches your soul, the one that’s ‘you’ seeing back at  ‘you’ …sounds mesmerizing ? Yes it happens, rare to come by and happening probably once in many lifetimes – true and pristine, pure and eternal. To put it straight and clear – you meet your soul…so far, you thought it was all ‘in you’, you forgot that a part of it was always walking etherically beside you and one fine day, you see it in ‘human form’ and guess what, you ‘freeze’, time stands…

"The day is coming when…

Manic depression, post-traumatic stress, and addiction are all complex psychiatric disorders that many suffer concurrently. Those of us who have been diagnosed with one or more of these mental illnesses (co-occurring) contend with debilitating symptoms, which may include severe anxiety, dramatic mood swings, rage, ruminations, flashbacks, and nightmares. Our manic episodes are often life-changing and can result in death. Although there are no cures for any of these disorders, adopting a…

Beware the Glamour

By Kathy Custren

Glamour may be used to describe when we see something especially beautiful that beguiles us in a certain way. For those of us who say we appreciate beauty in all its forms, the application of glamour can be seen as a dichotomy of negative and positive traits. We may like it best—maybe accept something or someone more—when it is beautiful; yet, we are cautioned…

Quantum Mechanics: a theory of matter that is based on the concept of the possession of wave properties by elementary particles, that affords a mathematical interpretation of the structure and interactions of matter on the basis of these properties, and that incorporates within it quantum theory and the uncertainty principle —called also wave mechanics. 

The common ground between spirituality and science can help us come to an understanding of what I call “the quantum…

The Embodiment of Me, Myself, and I

“If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.” – Lao Tzu

This may be a little challenging initially but we don't need a psychologist to analyze our own "multiple…

When you close your eyes and take a deep breath are you filled with peace or does a voice chatter away in your head reminding you of all the things left undone? Most of us have active minds that are prone to worry. Learning the ability to shut off the stream of thoughts and connect with one’s own inner voice allows for the cultivation of rejuvenating peace and inspiration. It allows for one to learn to not worry about the future or the past but to be present, to wake to life. Meditation is…

Many people are very uncomfortable listening to their thoughts. Recent research finds that people, especially men, would rather endure pain than be alone with their own reflections. But if we do not learn to comfortably move within, relax, get in touch with our inner thoughts, learn to watch them as a witness, and then release unwanted ones, our inner turmoil will continue to nag at us and we will always be on the run.

We are uncomfortable going within because we are fearful of what…

One of the most valuable teaching instruments aiding in the evolution of human consciousness is the all-pervading universal Law of Cause and Effect. It is simple yet so profound. It teaches us by simply returning equal and opposite reactions to our own personal actions. In this way the traits of the ego,which we are unable to see, get revealed to us for the purpose of deeper introspection. The ego is blind to its own faults but is an expert at pointing out the flaws of others. So one of the…
