What is it that we look for the most in life? On what do we place a higher value than love, money, health, sex, work and success? Above all else comes happiness. It is our No. 1 priority, although these many elements are clearly integrated in it. Happiness is the big umbrella that saves us from the rain. So what is happiness? More important, how do you find it? Even more important, how do you hang onto it? It's an age-old quest, as they say, and one that unconsciously drives most of us. The … [Read more...]
Finding the Grace in Life’s Most Challenging Situations
When a relationship breaks down and the person you thought you would spend the rest of your life with suddenly departs, the pain can be quite excruciating. All the old stories - betrayal, humiliation, anger, blame, self-recrimination and simply being alone in a world full of loneliness - come rushing to the surface, all wrapped in a terrible sadness. Unexpected life changes happen to thousands of people every day, very recently to a friend of mine. So how do you deal with it? How do you recover … [Read more...]
Healing our Eating Habits is not just about Food
It used to be that Japan was a model nation when it came to healthy eating - and to some degree it still is. Food is one of the things I enjoy most about visiting that country. I love shopping in the grocery stores where the food is fresh, clean and cared for, and eating in traditional restaurants where it is lovingly prepared.But in 20 years of regular visits I have noticed quite a shift in the eating habits of younger people whose diets now include a significant amount of Western-style foods. … [Read more...]
Why it’s so Hard to be Kind to Ourselves
For most people, one of the enigmas of life is that we can show great kindness to others yet generally deny that same gift to ourselves. Something that sounds so simple can prove to be extraordinarily difficult. The wounds of childhood that perpetuate a sense of being unworthy or undeserving conspire with shame, guilt, a lack of self-love and other negative beliefs to prevent us from being genuinely kind to those who need it most - ourselves.Consider what the result might be if we were to hold … [Read more...]
Facing up to the Challenges of Life
It has been called the reflection of the soul, the barometer of emotion, a dynamic canvas that is constantly in movement.The human face speaks a language far more complex and expressive than any verbal communication. For the newborn child, the mother's face is the first mirror it sees of its own self. What's contained in that face - love, joy, anxiety, disinterest - will have a profound effect on the infant and on the adult it will become.Through our faces we reveal important truths about … [Read more...]
Healing in the Spotlight – as the Funds Flow in
When popular TV dramas feature energy healing, real-life healers tend to run for cover. Or they feel compelled to watch in irritation and frustration at the way their profession has once again been misrepresented or maligned.So the flaws in a recent episode of the hospital drama "Grey's Anatomy" - "The Laying on of Hands" - hardly came as a surprise. But it was interesting and somewhat refreshing that the show tried - within its own limited confines - to portray healing … [Read more...]
Time to Examine Our True Intentions
Why do the hopes and dreams of many people turn out to be forlorn, plunging them into feelings of inadequacy and even hopelessness? Sometimes their lives even move in the opposite direction to where they want them to go. The answer lies in one of the most subtle dimensions of consciousness, the hara line. This is the level of intentionality. It lies a quantum-level deeper than the Human Energy Field. In the model of consciousness I have taught for many years, the hara line is the earliest … [Read more...]
Why an Auric Detox is Vital to our Health
However considerate-or not-we are towards our bodies, virtually everyone these days is aware of the damage caused by toxins. They are in what we eat and are often unavoidable-sugars, salt, fats and food additives; there are harmful chemicals in the air we breathe and often in the water we drink. There is also the ever-worsening pollution of the environment by electrical and magnetic fields (EMFs) that disturb the natural functioning of the body's systems. Miraculously, but not surprisingly, the … [Read more...]
