726. Self Healing
     Self Healing What does it mean to self heal? How does one even begin to start self healing? I believe that 'Self Healing' is the ability to be quiet, to go within and allow yourself to hear, it is the ability to shut off the outside world and mindless chatter and go deep, deep within and listen to what the body is telling you. This is a hard learned concept, since we have never been taught how to achieve this state of being. However, I believe that we have to trust ourselves and allow this pr…



727. Livin' On A Prayer By Lois Grant-Holland
     When I was a child, I thought as a child, and I prayed as a child. Every night I closed my eyes tightly and said the words my mother taught me:"Now I lay me down to sleep,I pray the Lord my soul to keep.If I should die before I wake,I pray the Lord my soul to take."I didn't have the faintest idea what it meant, or why I was supposed to say it every night before I went to sleep, but I did it religiously, because that's what my mother taught me to do. It never occurred to me to ask her about it;…



728. Heal Emotional Difficulties With Your Imagination By John Beder
     How did an artist accidently learn healing visualizations and improve his life? How can you do the same? Read on.Last year a family counselor approached me and said, "You’re an artist, why don’t you do up some feeling cards for us?" Looking confused, I asked, "what are feeling cards?""When all else fails, she replied, we use them to stimulate therapeutic conversations with clients and their families." She showed me a set of improvised cards with pictures of facial expressions on them and on th…



729. Enlightenment Takes You to Selfishness By Roy Klienwachter
     An act of selflessness is the highest expression of selfishness and unconditional love because it considers the soul first.Selfishness does not preclude consideration of others, but selfishness is necessary before consideration of others is acted upon.Few people really understand the true meaning of selfishness. We were born selfish and even before birth we came to this earth for selfish reasons.All of us act from selfishness because we consider what is in our own best interest first at some l…



730. True Justice and Freedom By Lynn Bradley
     The world’s idea of justice and freedom fall short of their purpose. Prison bars keep the guilty from repeating their crime while behind them. They cannot change the person. Freedom comes with a price. We have to take responsibility for our actions. We are never free from the tensions of living on the earth. We must pay the price of making a living and existing among people of different temperaments and cultures. Being in Christ is the perfect answer because he has already paid the price for …



731. Mankind's Ten Worst Enemies: #7 Lust By Saundra L. Washington
     In the first Epistle, the Apostle John uses "lust" to describe any strong desire for, inclination toward or deep attachment to things of the world. Lust of the flesh (epithumia) is the desire for worldly ambitions, selfish aims, and worldly pleasures. Lust of the eyes (epithmia of opthalmon) wants everything it sees and wants everyone else to see it.John warns us: Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in …



732. Sinners by Choice By Saundra L. Washington
     God said, “Thou shalt not…” and we continue to tell God, “we will.” We continue to prefer the terminal disease of sin over the eternal love and glory of God who wants fellowship with us. And, we are sinners by choice.We are sinners by choice because we consciously and knowingly refuse to do what we know we ought to do. We clearly see the road on which we ought to walk, but we refuse to walk it. We see the Christian fight in which we ought to engage, but we refuse to enter the conflict. We choo…



733. Trailing Clouds of Glory By Teresa Proudlove
     Most of us are familiar with the inner criticism and gnawing self-doubt we hear when we want to take the next step in our work or life. Rather than staying stymied we can observe our thoughts, let them go and return to the truth of who we really are. William Wordsworth reminds us of our one true home:Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The soul that rises with us, our life’s star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar: Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter na…



734. Your Anchor in a Storm By Daniel N. Brown
     Many times, when we fall into trials we may be tempted to ask, "Where is God? Well, God is there even when we can't see Him.On gray, gloomy, rainy days, high above the overcast sky, the sun continues to shine. We can't feel its warmth or see its beauty, but it still exists.God's beauty and His love for us are real even when our circumstances are difficult. If we think "above the clouds," we can have hope knowing that God is still there.Just as gray, gloomy, overcast skies are temporary, so are…



735. The Power of Love By Melanie DewBerry-Jones
     “There must be a higher love/Without it life is wasted time.” Those are the opening words to one of my favorite Steve Winwood songs. What could a higher love mean in your life – in the life of your clients?Often, during a speaking engagement, I include a potent and important word that has people flinch — “Love.” They try to manage their flinching by adjusting their seats so that their neighbor or I won’t notice. But, however subtle the movement, there it is. I’m not sure what all that flinchin…



736. Confessions of a Solitary
     Some people prefer to take the solitary spiritual path in life instead of the conventional religious path. Instead of attending church services, we walk on beaches, in mountains, or simply work in a garden in order to commune with the Creator. A need to avoid rituals is often a reason why. I find rituals of any kind worthy of a shudder. I understand the rituals are important. Going through the motions, though, makes me uncomfortable. I am not into touchy-feely stuff. I am not knocking religion,…



737. Who Is Afraid Of God?
     Most of those who call themselves believers, profess that they are afraid of God. What does this mean? Let us talk more about this. Are they really afraid of God? Are they afraid of God as much as they are afraid of their friends and others while doing something wrong? For example, a colleague of yours has to rush out and has left the mail box open. You are very curious to take a look at it. If no one is around, will you be still afraid thinking that at least God is watching? Please think about …



738. Counsel for Non Church Goers By Lynn Bradley
     Not going to church has the advantage of having free time on Sunday morning and not having to bother with getting out of bed and traveling to the meeting place of worship service. In America you have the right to attend or not attend.The Bible Christians go by is not a fairy tale. It is a message from God that everyone desperately needs to receive. The problem is that it is a collection of 66 books. People who are unfamiliar with it don’t have the slightest idea of where to look to get the mes…



739. Will the World Really End on December 12, 2012? By Jean-Claude Koven
     I was recently asked how I interpreted the Mayan and Hopi predictions that the world, as we know it, will end on the 21st of December 2012. Would there be global war — possibly triggering a nuclear holocaust? Would the planet’s life forms finally succumb to the ecological quagmire that’s been building in our soils, oceans and atmosphere? Would the current steady increase of previously unknown diseases overcome our ability to defend against them? Or will we suddenly move into a new Golden Age i…



740. Law to the Nth Degree By Lois Grant-Holland
     Most of us know that the universe - God's universe - operates on an independent structure called Universal Law. The laws of the universe - God's laws - are an invisible influence that gently force the natural order under which the universe operates to be maintained. We can't fully understand 'karma' without understanding how it works, and why it works that way, and how the way it works affects our lives on a daily basis - without first understanding the laws that support it.In order to underst…



741. You're Standing Between Two Clouds By Michelle Jacobson
     On one side there is a dark cloud. It is full of pain, sickness, disease, poverty, and death. All of the curses talked about in Deuteronomy 28 are swarming in circles.There is a bright cloud on the other side. It is a white cloud with health, prosperity, peace, and life. All of the blessings talked about in Deuteronomy 28 are floating in this bright cloud.A calm, deep voice says, "Choose."You respond with the obvious, "I have chosen. I want life."The deep voice tells you to continue to lo…



742. Manifesting Abundance Though be Careful What You Wish For By Michaela Scherr
     Does attracting abundance take lots of meditation and positive affirmations or does it take a bit more than that? Is it as easy as setting an intention for abundance to materialise at our door step?Well, meditation has, without a doubt, brought me inner peace and a change of perception. Positive affirmations set the mood for my day, and setting intentions enables me to goal set conceptually without getting caught up in every detail. These all work exceptionally well on a spiritual level.Wha…



743. Clear Mind, Empty Head: A Leak In "Mind Like Water" By Maya Talisman Frost
     There's a lot of talk in meditation circles about emptying the mind.This is a roadblock for many people. Why? Because it's counterintuitive. After all, we spend most of our waking hours filling up our minds.We go to school, we get trained, we read, we learn, we absorb information from all around us. Then someone comes along and tells us that the best thing we can do is EMPTY our mind? Why would we want to do that?Empty isn't a good thing in most cases. Empty wallet? Empty gas tank? Empty bank …



744. The Search for God's Intention By Joseph Ghabi
     I believe in the source we refer to as ‘God’. This is the powerful Universal Energy from which all that is manifests. This energy is always there and is available to all. My God is the same as your God and everybody else’s God. However, we still try to categorize and define that energy in different ways, depending upon our belief system and religious orientation.God is love and so are you. God is compassion and so are you. God is perfection and so are you. God is forgiveness and so are you.…

747. Remember the Sabbath
     Sabbath-keeping is an essential component of the Judeo-Christian story. And in our fast-paced, 'you snooze, you lose' culture, it ought to be reclaimed as essential component of the human story as well. The admonition to keep Sabbath harkens to the earliest Hebrew texts, first with the mention of God's resting on the seventh day in the creation story, followed by the story of God raining manna down from heaven in Exodus 16, promising the Israelites bread for six days as long as they would honor…



748. The Tess Syndrome By Lois Grant-Holland
     There's a lot of talk about angels these days. They're getting some pretty good press.Angels are the intermediaries between God and the human race, according to every major religion in the world. Angels have always been recognized and respected as the messengers of God, bringing truth to the human race in times of trouble. The most important truth they bring is the reminder that God is part of us, and we are part of God, and we are never alone on this journey we call life.Back in the old days,…



749. It Seems We Have All Taken a "POW" By Deborah Haight
     Just for a moment think of what is stopping you from living your dream. Is it fear? Is it change? Most people in today’s world have thought that at some point in their spirits evolution that money is the root of all evil. The correct way to look at that is that the love of money is the root of all evil. Money itself is a means to an end.In order to achieve anything in this world we need resources whether they be friends, information or money. I have always lived my life with the knowing that I…

2. Standing in the Gap By Kimberly Chastain
I’m weary of saying No to my children. Not just the everyday No’s. Don’t hit your brother and No, you cannot have 5 pieces of candy. I am weary of the No I am continually saying to our culture. The world is bound and determined to take away my children’s innocence. They want my children to grow up way too fast. They want my little girl to dress like an adult. They want my little boy to know things he is way too young to know. I’m weary of saying you can’t go to that movie, because it is not ap…

3. Making the Impossible Possible By Dayo Olomu
"I learned I was not, as most Africans believed, the victim of my circumstances but the master of them." - Legson KayiraOne of the things my Christian faith has taught me is that with God nothing is impossible. I live by 4 Ps - Prayers, Planning, Perseverance and Persistence. Hence one of the words that are not in my dictionary is 'impossible'. I seldom use it. Ditto words like providence, destiny and fate. Anything I want to do, I do it irrespective of any obstacles by using the 4 Ps.To me, n…

That is, most would probably agree that we are certainly AT EFFECT of the mysterious forces that appear to act randomly, but could we consider that it is actually "us," the human factor, that greatly determines the cycles and torrents of Nature's release's.Could it be that Man is the emitter…
