Two Realities : One Life

lafontaine

Holy moly, welcome to August already and the on-going, ever-morphing energies of 2009. The late spring and early summer energies were pushy, demanding, relentless, unequivocal and challenging on multiple levels. I hesitate to say were, since plenty of challenges remain, but at least I'm starting to feel like things are moving into my life again. I would say that I'm finally having an energetic thaw in terms of feeling enough energy moving to get me off my recliner, but now that I'm up I tend to … [Read more...]

A simple acceptance of all that is

miejan

Let's be clear about one thing: The Edge magazine has always been open to any and all belief systems and modalities with regard to spirituality, metaphysics and healing since its founding in 1992. I have interviewed ufologists and crop circle experts, scientists who research mysterious orbs, an astronaut whose life was changed while viewing the Earth from outer space, ghostbusters and people who heal others by the laying on of hands, experts on the healing qualities of quartz crystals and … [Read more...]

A Grain of Sand

peterson

Time and again I wonder about the soul’s indifference to our feelings, yet it allows us to choose a direction or path that we will take. From the smallest choice to the larger, more dynamic family or career choices, our soul watches. Many people ask me what does the soul look like. Mostly, it reminds me of a lava lamp. About 16 inches tall. Brilliant in color and light. A gold and silver flowing intermixed. Illuminated by the source within it. Rays of light and energy escape its boundaries … [Read more...]

Finding Your Way

eisen

"Show me the way...please!" Have you ever said or thought that? Some people sit in uncertainty, stressed out or empty. They know there's more to life, but they can't seem to find "the way" for themselves or their life. They read self-help books, go to motivational seminars, but their heart isn't going there with them. If you're one of them, you may be inspired for about two minutes before you go back to what you were doing before. Then here it comes...the self-criticism or beating up on yourself … [Read more...]

Their time is occupied, but not their brains

olson

The school year has ended for school-age children, but soon they will be studying again, while Facebooking and YouTubing, and searching online while listening to music. Simultaneously. While most adults support the act of studying for children (teaches them discipline! keeps them off the streets!), my own three teenage children reported that in preparation for final exams this past spring, they did a lot of stuff that, well, may not be very meaningful in the long run. Their time was occupied, … [Read more...]

dyer

"I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor." - from Walden, by Henry David Thoreau There are four words in Thoreau's quote that I want to highlight: encouraging, unquestionable, elevate and conscious. Excuses Begone! is encouraging you to challenge patterns and feel inspired by a newfound awareness of the life hidden beneath your excuses. Invite yourself to move out of established thought patterns, and realize … [Read more...]

Reclaiming Our Sexual Wholeness

grace

As we align ourselves with the accelerating planetary shifts, everything that is not about love is being asked to be transformed in our bodies, our energy fields, our lives and our relationships. While we cannot effectively ignore these shadowy parts of ourselves, we can recognize them and then release or integrate them. Acknowledging the lost, sad, shameful, forgotten parts of ourselves is the first step in reclaiming our sexual wholeness. As we embrace and then release that which no longer … [Read more...]
