Meditation

Here is where it all begins. It cannot be otherwise. Here we have come to listen, we have come to hear. An old woman sat here yesterday on a park bench, a brown bag at her side, her eyes sparkling as children frolicked on a carousel. "Nice day," I said. "You're right," she said, and smiled. We built a bridge and sat there silently. And a policeman came, took the brown bag,. . .

Conflict is a word

Conflict is a word many of us either were taught or learned by experience to avoid. Fighting. Nastiness. Anger. Family Feuds. On a national level, “conflict” connotes failed diplomacy, armed warfare, environmental devastation, even genocide.

The Body-Temple, A Song of Glory

One of the most fascinating stories I've ever heard came from a respected psychic teacher who received a phone call from a man in a hospital to have both feet amputated. The psychic wasn't given this information, but intuitively heard the man's feet complain that he never let them rest. Knowing this to be true, the man promised to change jobs and his feet, deciding to trust him, healed immediat. . .

What Dreams May Come

THE EASY Way to Accumulate Wealth

If the idea of accumulating wealth appeals to you but daunts you at the same time, step back and chew on this fact for a moment: building wealth is 90% maintenance, and 10% brilliance.

Ways to Make Life Fun

Contrary to the opinion of many parents, it’s OK to want to have fun in everything you do in life. It’s not selfish, insensitive or self-centered.

True Happiness

Accepting New Ideas

Much of the time when a new idea comes to us, we handle that idea and move on, without ever becoming consciously aware of the process.

How can this be? To understand this, let's br. . .

Commit to Doing 80%

Instead of trying to be perfect, it is better to do your best, and often your best doesn't look like going all out all the time. This is especially true when you are making changes in your life.

Just Say YES to Self-Care

We say we want to change things, we set New Year's resolutions in place and we create lists of self-care goals. We make promises to ourselves, and sometimes to other people in our lives.
