Youth Baseball Practices Don¡¯t Have
To Be Long To Be Good
Author: Marty Schupak
Back in the late 70's an old college professor of
mine was fond of saying, "Don't confuse activity with accomplishment." Jump
forward about eight years and imagine me observing a coach running practice for
his little League team. At the start of practice most of the 10, 11, and 12 year
olds are very enthusiastic. As the practice progresses I notice only two forms
of activity taking place. One has the head coach throwing batting practice, with
each hitter getting 10 to 15 swings while each pitcher takes a turn throwing to
the assistant coach as the others stand and watch. I, too, stand and watch and I
don't know who is more bored- the players or me. When I saw a member of the
board of directors, I commented on how poorly I thought the practice had been
run. The board member responded, " If you think you can do a better job, then
volunteer to coach." (Me and my big mouth.)

Your sacred space
Author: Cathy Goodwin, Ph.D.
Many of us have a place in our lives where we feel
especially free and creative. They are places we retreat when we want to recover
from a bad day, celebrate a good day, think through a knotty problem, or write
the first draft of our next chapter. Some people head for the hills and the
parks, but sacredness can come anywhere: one friend confided that she wrote her
best grad school papers in a pizza parlor. Sometimes your entire home, and
sometimes a special room in your home, will be a sacred space.

Your Reasons To Be Thankful Abound

Tracking our things to be thankful for - Everyone
of us has many things to be thankful for. The problem is that we don't always
see this to be true. Me included :-). Therefore; playing something as simple as
the thankfulness game can do wonders to get us track. This is something that
takes little more effort on your part then your time and commitment to actually
carry it out.

Your Psychic Time
Author: John Holland
Here's a scenario you're probably all too familiar
with: You get up, take a shower, eat breakfast, get dressed, and go off to work,
all the while trying to feel positive and hoping for a great day. You hit heavy
traffic (or the bus or train is crowded), you remember the kids forgot their
lunches, and finally you look down to realize that you're currently wearing your
cup of coffee. Your stress and anxiety levels have risen to critical levels
before you even get to work. So if you don't stop, breathe, and check in with
yourself, the rest of day will most likely be crazy, leaving you scrambling to
catch up. And obviously, if your body and mind are stressed, it's that much
harder to acknowledge and listen to your intuition. But one of my students
doesn't settle for “living” like this.

more serious conditions like asthma or depression. Indeed, the world in which we
live, the day to day postures we assume, the stress which many are under, and
barely able to cope with, has created a large segment of the population in the

movie “How Stella Got Her Groove Back” that we lose sight of who we are. Life

tend to loose “us” in being there for others. Although Stella got her groove
back by meeting a man that was 20 years younger than her, how do we know that
Stella’s groove is going to stay? Stella still had some matters in her life that
she needed to clear up before taking a vacation to Jamaica. Taking a vacation is
a temporary fix. When you come back all the problems are still there waiting on

Women learn to speak from imitating other

speech communication haunt women from one generation to the next.
Additionally, studies show that male students are often somewhat favored
over female students at every academic level in schools. Men often have more
experiences speaking before groups. They learn methods of communicating by
imitating other men from childhood onward. This often makes males better at
skills such as negotiating, the job interview, public speaking, leading
meetings, introducing speakers, moderating panels, and more.

WHY WE NEED DETERMINATION!
Author: ROY BURTON
If it is our aim to succeed in life then many
qualities will be demanded of us. We must have not only courage and ability, but
also intelligence and integrity to name just a few. To aspire to success you
will also need to understand, either consciously or instinctively, the necessity
of having a worthy goal and believing in its eventual realisation. And above
all, to reach that goal you will need to have in your armoury one of the most
valuable weapons you can possess, the power of determination. There are
thousands of people around who have great talent and ability and yet because
they lack the determination to strike out sadly achieve little. There are many
well-educated and knowledgeable people, who, because of their lack of vision,
will forever occupy lowly positions. They are, sadly, the losers in life who see
the major successes going to those who are often less well equipped than they
are. The determination to succeed is the factor that distinguishes people who
are great achievers from those who are co

Why the Elephants Don't Run
Author: Jim Donovan
A number of years ago, I had the rather unique
experience of being backstage in Madison Square Garden, in New York, during the
Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. To say the least, it was a fascinating
experience. I was able to walk around looking at the lions, tigers, giraffes and
all the other circus animals. As I was passing the elephants, I suddenly
stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only
a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that
the ele-phants could, at any time, break away from their bonds but for some
reason, they did not. I saw a trainer near by and asked why these beautiful,
magnificent animals just stood there and made no at-tempt to get away. "Well,"
he said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to
tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are
conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They think the rope can still
hold them, so they never try to br

Why is Coach Bobby Knight Explosive?
Author: John Boe
Bobby Knight is presently the head basketball
coach at Texas Tech. Prior to being hired by them Bobby Knight spent twenty-nine
years coaching basketball at Indiana University. In those twenty-nine years he
coached many successful basketball teams and in fact, brought three NCAA
basketball championships back to Indiana. He was recognized as a strict
disciplinarian and used a “hands on” coaching style. Coach Knight was feared and
respected not only by the opposing team, but by his own players as well. His
winning tradition at Indiana University made him an icon for college basketball.
Here is a man who was at the top of his game and appeared to have it all. So
what happened? Why did Indiana fire him as their head basketball coach?
Essentially Bobby Knight lost his job when he lost his temper. It has been said
that people are a lot like steel, once they loose their temper they are rendered
useless. Unfortunately when most people think of Bobby Knight, they picture an

What's Hard to Find, But Always With

To create a wonderful life, you first need to make
a choice: will you use your thinking to help yourself to the happy, fulfilling
life you wish for, or will you allow the often haphazard, random ideas we gather
over time to non-consciously run your life for you? What you think leads
directly to feelings and actions. Think in one direction, you will feel and act
accordingly. Think differently, your feelings and actions will be different.
Those thoughts are powerful, aren't they? The only trouble is, ideas can become
so ingrained that we don't even need to be aware for them to exert instant
control over us.

A common fear – and criticism of self-help

is the natural starting place for anyone who wants to lead an ethical life as

What is Reiki?
Author: Pamir Kiciman
The question is an intellectual one. Our

Reiki and the priorities as well as capabilities of today's science this
evidence is scarce. Another type of evidence, however, is emerging and
establishing itself. This is the testimony of the human experience, echoed down
the ages, which is boldly changing our thinking and being. Fundamental ideas
about health and well-being are being transformed as a direct result of the
reigning mechanistic model of reality. This model, of which allopathic medicine
is one segment, views health as the absence of disease in body and mind; a
static state that limits the definition of health. Health is a dynamic state
involving our whole being. By missing the forest for the trees, our healthcare
system has exacerbated our psychophysical challenges, which are formidable in
this increasingly complex and toxic world.

What is Life Balance?
Author: Michelle L. Casto, M.Ed.
Balance could be defined as having a strong
personal foundation, an appropriate level of stimulation in each life area, and
knowing your limits. Each person will have an individual definition of balance;
based on their life unique situation. However being balanced does imply making
conscious choices and having more control over your life. Alan Loy McGinnis, in
his book, The Balanced Life, “I have discovered that highly effective people are
not so much brilliant as they are balanced.” In other words, balanced people are
not workaholics. Stephen Covey also discusses this concept in his book, The 7
Habits of Highly Effective People, “Equal energy is devoted to both work and
family.” Balanced people do not buy into the myth of “having it all.” In fact,
they realize that to find their unique balance, some things will have to be
sacrificed at one time or another. Balanced people do not let areas of their
life negatively impact the other parts of their life. Obviously you cannot honor
family and career if one or the

same time I am letting “The Boys” out, I would see my neighbor with two bowls
and a blanket. He would place these items under the big tree in his front yard
and then go back in the house and come out with the puppy. The puppy would have
a leash that is a couple of feet long and at the end of the leash there is a 5
pound weight or dumbbell, I am not sure of the correct name for it. Anyway he
would put the puppy under the tree to eat and to play under the shade of the
tree. The weight was used to keep the puppy from being able to runaway.

What Are You Waiting For?
Author: Della Menechella
It’s the new millenium. Are you ready to finally
realize your dream? I’m talking about the desire that you carry deep down inside
of you that you attribute to some adolescent fancy. It’s the dream that isn’t
practical and can’t possible be fulfilled. Well, it is possible to fulfill it
and the time to do so is now.

Weight Loss: A Side Effect of
Adaptive Wellness
Author: Dr. Dorothy McCoy
Changing any behavior has its challenges. Changing
the way you have eaten for a number of years may take a little more time than
some other habits. Perhaps, you like the way you eat, you simply do not like the
consequences. Left to my own choices, with no nasty consequences, I would eat
chocolate cake at least twice a day until I couldn’t stand to look another
morsel in the face. However, it does not work that way, there are health related
consequences. Good food is one of the great joys of life and you have the right
to enjoy it. Healthy food can also taste wonderful. No matter what you have
heard-- they are not mutually exclusive terms.

Weight Loss Without Dieting
Author: Bob Belive
I hadn’t really thought too much about my
100-pound weight loss over three years ago because it seemed so simple, or
natural to me. This really started by watching a show on Larry King Live. The
content was on alcoholism. As a result of that show, I began to curtail my
cocktailing from a daily routine to 1 day a week, and then none at all. Within a
month my pants felt much looser. I liked the feeling. I then asked my wife Ellie
if I were to cut back on my food a bit did she think I could lose weight. The
look in her eyes was my answer.

We Learn Best from the Worst

It is one of the paradoxes in life that we learn

from the unkind; yet strange-I am ungrateful to those teachers."

Isn't life fantastic? Even if there are problems
at the moment, think of all of the wonderful gifts that surround us. We have the
ability to visit museums and beautiful parks for little, if any, charge. We can
attend movies and live shows for just the price of a ticket. We have the option
to eat out at an unlimited number of restaurants, and choose from an almost
obscene array of groceries at the corner store. And on top of all that, we have
special people in our life that we can share our love and care with.

Want a successful life? Follow your
intuition.
Author: Lynn A. Robinson
Think of someone you know who leads a successful
life. They exude an aura of calm and inner peace, yet you can almost see their
“spirit.” They crackle with infectious energy. They may have millions or they
may not, but their success is obvious in their “presence.” They enjoy life and
they love to share that joy with others. Does that sound like you? It could be,
because you have within you a mechanism that can guide you unerringly to a
positive and vibrant life. That mechanism is intuition -- the compass of the
soul. It’s available to you 24/7, fifty-two weeks a year, ready to point you in
the direction of energy, passion, and joy. And best of all, you don’t have to be
a “gifted” intuitive to take advantage of all that it offers. You can get
started on a successful life – or a more successful life – right now by
following these simple suggestions:

Using the Internet to Find Health
Information
Author: Marie Anakee Miczak
The Internet has opened many doors for people with
a multitude of information swirling around, waiting to be accessed & downloaded.
While a sizable amount may be deemed junk by those unfamiliar with the net,
anyone must agree that there is a ton of good as well out there. A key area of
good net content is that of health and healing related information. At one time,
health topics were usually in the new age or natural health genre, even boarding
on the side of quackery & obscurity but nowadays every company, branch of
medicine and trusted physician worth his/her salt has a website. These websites
aren’t simply billboard ads anymore either. The net surfing public is no longer
satisfied with such sites, they want real information & the health field has

Unveiling of Fear
Author: Orin Black
Numerous labels have been placed on fear in an
attempt to cover the wide spectrum of avenues down which we come face to face
with this, often times misunderstood, force in our lives. In our world of
dualistic views and beliefs, courage would definitely be pinned as Fear's
opposite or neutralizer. But this type of comparison minimizes the true nature
of Fear and undermines the real purpose Fear has in our lives. Fear is not to be
conquered or hidden; it is to be acknowledged and then unveiled.

Unleash the Potential of Booklets to

Author: Paulette Ensign
Does writing a booklet make you an 'authorlette' ?
It sure does. That is one of several key reasons to write an informational tips
booklet - author status as an expert on your topic. It takes much less time,
money, and stress to write a booklet than writing a full-length book, and can
bring as many or more benefits. Writing a booklet is less overwhelming than
writing a book. If you have already written a book, you might want to divide
that book into booklets and make more money from the parts than you will for the
whole. Or, you may want to write a book by writing a series of booklets.

Just about anytime we approach the subject of

because denial and lying are two very different things.

TRUE SPIRITUALITY
Author: Guru Aditiananda. Spiritual Grand Master.
What we call self-growth/development or personal
growth/improvement is in fact Spirituality. It is much above religion and
politics and forms the third dimension to our over-all personality - after body
and mind. True Spirituality is to set the subdued and subjugated spirit within
us - FREE - face reality, and rise towards the realms of GOD, seeking Liberation
from the cycles of birth and death. It is our personal preference to nurse our
spirit and nurture our own personal growth/self-development, get
Enlightened/Empowered ; and in the process find true love, true power, real
happiness, ecstatic delight, divine bliss and evolve further as a perfected
human being, so as to attain Liberation. The whole process starts with
self-acknowledgement.

we clarify our relationship to what we are writing about. We find its meaning.

"Time Surfing"

Live in the moment. Stay in the present. How many

either having thoughts about something that just happened or something that is
about to happen in their life. Those thoughts might be from a few seconds to a
few minutes, hours, days, or even longer in either direction - past or future.
Very few people are capable of actually living and thinking in the constant and
consistent movement of "time". I call that very rare state of being, "Time

Three Steps Critical to New Year's
Resolutions That Work
Author: Jerry Lopper
This is the time of year when many of us will make
New Year’s resolutions-some out of habit, others out of the sincere hope to
improve some aspect of life. Research and experience tell us that most
resolutions fail. Why is that? There are many reasons-some quite obvious, such
as not really wanting to make the change-but one reason that accounts for many
resolution failures isn’t reported in the general literature. When you try to
make a change to a life situation while violating the spiritual law of
attraction you’re bound to fail. You won’t find the law of attraction in any
scientific text (yet), but it is critical to any change you wish to make in
life.

Three guiding principles of courage
(and it’s development)
Author: Tracy Brinkmann
I have come under the personal belief that
everyone is a leader to someone. Whether that someone be an employee (or
thousands of employees), your spouse, a child or at the simplest level, oneself
– you are a leader. As a leader you have the responsibility to develop a level
of courage first within your self, then to instill that level of courage in
those that look to you for your leadership. It is key to note here that you must
first achieve a level of courage within yourself before you even attempt to
instill it in those around you. Why? Well the answer is simple… how on earth can
you pass on that which you do not have? You will never be able to encourage
others beyond the very level of courage that you carry and demonstrate on a
regular basis. Your level of courage is the only limiting bar. Raise that bar
and you raise your ability to encourage others.

Thoughts Run Our Lives
Author: Dorothy O'Donnell-Uhlman, D. D.
The major function of our subconscious mind is to
take orders! What kind of thoughts are we sifting through our subconscious on a
daily basis? When we worry about having enough money, love, work, we're we're
not giving orders...we're focusing on "lack" which will surely produce more of
the same. Learn to drill "I am becoming a millionnaire" a few hundred times a
day...find a "trigger time" and place. One of mine is in the shower; another
during a walk. "My life is filled with love"..a few hundred times a
day....although other thoughts are insidious, we can be firm and steady with the
thoughts which will produce what we desire, not the opposite. When I first
experimented with self-talk it was just that...an experiment. Shortly
afterwards, we were gifted with a three week stay in Europe, then I started

There are some people who can’t tell a lie, many

children, we were raised to tell the truth and taught that honesty is always the
best policy. We were told stories about George Washington and Honest Abe Lincoln
to reinforce the virtue of truthfulness. However, as we grew older, we realized
that the truth sometimes hurts and that few relationships could survive the
harsh reality of brutal honesty. To keep from hurting others, we learned the
usefulness of telling “white lies.” On the other hand, self-serving lies can be
damaging and are frequently used for personal gain or to avoid punishment.

The Tribrain and Trauma Therapy
Author: Jef Gazley, M.S.
When someone experiences a trauma they go into
immediate shock. This is very similar to hypnosis. Under hypnosis a person is
more suggestible and tends to remember everything that occurred while in that
state, even if it is on a subconscious level. Because of this a person, when
abused, will remember vividly everything about what it was to feel like a victim
and they will also remember everything about what it is like to be an abuser.

The Toddler's Guide To Perseverance
Author: Maria E. Andreu, Life Coach
My two year old daughter asks me for ice cream
about one hundred times a day. You think I'm exaggerating for effect, but I am
really not. She starts when she first gets up in the morning, requesting it as
her breakfast. (I say no). She asks mid-morning, several times. She asks for it
as an appetizer to her lunch, asks for it when my mother is caring for her (I'm
blissfully not privy to that, as I am in the world of grown-ups, coaching!),
asks at snack, dinner, and about 70 other times during the day. Sometimes she
employs tactics of terror, kicking and screaming until our very nerves tremble.
Sometimes she flashes the sweetest smile.

THE STRATEGIC THINKING MINDSET
Author: Charles Albano
Textbooks on strategic planning describe
actions taken in the marketplace by competing companies to gain competitive
advantage. Major types of strategies are catalogued and given various names
by different authors. Often these strategies and tactics are so bold and
innovative that they "change the rules of the game." Leaders are
increasingly being advised to seek that objective in planning and executing
their strategies. The pace of change today is dizzying with new
technological breakthroughs occurring at shorter intervals and global
competition putting the heat on. Mergers and acquisitions change the
competitive landscape unexpectedly, and strategic alliances develop even
among companies that were, or still are, competitors.

The Secret Of Affirmations

I knew the power of affirmations. For years I'd
used them sporadically, and for the main part, silently. At this point, however,
I needed to make some drastic changes. So I began saying affirmations out loud.
I declared them in the shower, in the car, while dressing, on walks, after
meditation. Within a couple of months, I had several "miracles" that helped me
get my life back on track. I was looking to set up a private practice of
hypnotherapy, but couldn't find a reasonably priced office. In the space of four
days, I was offered two offices, and was given the furniture for both.

I’ve got to admit, I’m a big fan of comfort. I

my sanctuary. I live here, and I work here. I like it to reflect peace, order
and beauty, so when a messy remodeling project was underway - like the recent
replacement of a water-damaged bathroom ceiling - it affected me. I was stressed
and cranky. My husband might not have been quite so generous and called me
downright crazed.

The Power of Belief and Expectation
Author: John Boe
While you may not always get what you want, you
will always get what you expect! Belief is the most powerful state of mind
because your belief system defines and shapes who you are and determines your
potential. I believe Henry Ford was correct when he said, “Whether you think you
can or think you can’t – you are right.” Your belief system doesn’t
differentiate or judge, it simply accepts as truth what you feed it.
Interestingly enough, the power of belief and expectation works just as
effectively on your feelings of self-doubt and limitation as it does on your
thoughts of success and achievement. Think thoughts of defeat or failure and you
are bound to be discouraged. In his classic book, The Strangest Secret, Earl
Nightingale revealed that the strangest secret in life is that you become what
you think about. If you want to know what you believe, look at what you are
experiencing in your life. As within, so without. Your thoughts are creative and
express themselves through your emotions, which in turn, drive

It is quite evident that we are living in one

restaurants we are engulfed by musak. I recently had lunch at a popular
restaurant and found the background music so loud that it interfered with normal
conversation and the enjoyment of my lunch. When I asked the waitress if she
could turn the music off, or at least down, she said, " I don't think we can."
Surely we as a people are still in charge of volume controls.

One aspect of the vision statement that is often

The magic of transformation
Author: Vered (Tanmayo) Neta
When I was a kid, my mother took me to a beautiful
Walt Disney's movie: 'The Awakening Desert'. One of the scenes showed a huge
cactus suddenly transformed into a flowering phenomena. I never forgot how,
within seconds, all the buds emerged and turned into colorful, open flowers.
What I did not know, at that time, was that the scene was photographed in slow
motion and was shown in fast motion. For me it still symbolizes how quickly
something that represents rigidity and pain can be transformed into beauty. For
years I've tried to catch the moment when a flower opens and it's petals start
to bloom, only to miss the exact moment again and again. It was suddenly there.

THE MECHANICS OF WISHES
Author: Jenka
Here is how our physical world works. When we wish
for something, that energy goes out into the world and every suitable person
around us is given the opportunity to make it happen. The one who follows his
intuition and provides our wish, goes through a kind of metamorphosis, because
of this very act, which enables him to also get his heart’s desire. This type of
activity happens all the time without our conscious awareness of the process.

The Inside - Out Approach
Author: Nicholas J. Gabriel
No lasting change will occur in our lives
unless and until we first change ourselves from the inside - out. Nothing
about our job, our friends, our marriage, our finances or any other aspect
our lives will change. Nothing in our physical, mental, spiritual, social or
emotional life will change unless and until we change ourselves first. Most
of us can identify circumstances in our lives that we want to change.
However, we remain unwilling to change ourselves from the inside-out.
Lasting change can never occur unless and until we change ourselves. And all
lasting change comes from the inside - out.

Whilst awaiting my father's approach with bottles of home-brewed ginger beer

something caught my attention. Someone had used a knife on the tree. And that
bothered me even then!

The Great Inquisition
Author: Rahel M. Smith
In order to build solid rapport and meaningful
connections with others, it is essential that we express genuine interest in
their past, present, and future. This act is also known as being
inquisitive.Sincere interest in another is expressed by asking questions and
actively listening. Matching and mirroring our counterparts' body language and
communication style is another useful method. Individuals are naturally inclined
to respond positively and reveal themselves to those they perceive as showing
genuine interest. Acting on this truism, we have the potential to become more
charismatic individuals capable of connecting with and influencing others
regardless of their background, ethnicity, or religion.

The Energy of Feng Shui
Author: Eileen Rawson
As we enter the 21st Century we will become
increasingly aware of our need to live and work within a harmonious and balanced
environment. By raising the energy of a space we can bring about fundamental
change in our lives, allowing us to move forward and experience a more positive,
healthier and happier lifestyle. From the time a building is designed it
develops an energy all its own. Anything that happens within that building will
leave an energetic imprint upon it. Over time there is inevitably a build up of
negative stress that will affect all who work or live within such a space. We
are all familiar with the term 'sick building syndrome'. People in such
buildings are constantly plagued with sickness from colds and flus, to the more
serious illnesses such as cancer etc. Then there is 'Predecessor Law', whereby a
business or relationship can seriously suffer as a result of moving into a space
where the previous occupants experienced bad luck or financi! al difficulties.

The DNA of Top Achievers
Author: Chris Widener
Of course by now we are all becoming aware of DNA.
It is the source code that determines who we are. When we look at DNA we can see

has been a tremendous breakthrough for scientists and will continue to be so for
some time, I think.

The Cliché of Balance

The world we are living in is changing at a fast

rapid. This roller coaster ride of change is affecting every aspect of our

spirituality. Some authors have called it a Future Shock, others have called it
Mega Trends, but whatever the tag you give, it is there.

The Canvas of Your Life
Author: Dale Masker
If you ask an artist, “what is the most
intimidating thing in your World?” Most will answer you, "A Blank Canvas". You
would think it would be some statement about selling their art, or acceptance of
their art, or fear of criticism, but it is the blank canvas that intimidates
them the most. A blank canvas in your life can be the same way. It can be
exciting or intimidating. It is all in how you view it.

The Call to Grow
Author: Anne Benoit, M.A., M.A.T., C.H.H.C.
At the beginning of one's journey on the path to
expanded levels of living and self-awareness, there is often much pain. Grief,
depression, frustration, self-pity, and anger--all are common and can act as
potential motivators to make necessary changes. In addition, experiences of
scarcity and powerlessness in our interactions with the self and others can
propel even the shyest, most passive soul to seek growth and personal change.

The Blackout Distinction - Plan &
Program
Author: Danish Ahmed
By now many of you have probably heard of the
blackouts that spanned the north-eastern US States, Ontario (Canada) and now
London, England. I was listening to the radio and heard an official talking
about emergency situations and how these situations could and should be dealt
with. He talked about a distinction between Plan and Program. He suggested that
currently most governing bodies have an Emergency Plan, and do not have an
Emergency Program. Although he quickly mentioned this distinction, I believe a
closer look can help us understand the problem, and by comparison, apply it to
our personal growth journey.

The Biofeedback Way To Starve Stress
Author: Mr. Golin
If you're like me, then you've probably flirted
briefly with some sort of meditation or guided-imagery technique in an attempt
to give stress the slip. Unfortunately, I always ran into the same problem.
After wrapping myself up into a reasonable facsimile of the lotus position, I'd
close my eyes and set sail for inner peace. About 10 minutes into my journey,
I'd start wondering if I was doing it right. Am I relaxed now? I'd ask myself.
That little voice of doubt always managed to be just loud enough to disrupt any
attempt at achieving relaxation. The end result of all my endeavors was always
the same: a sigh of defeat and a couple more instruction books relegated to the
bottom of a closet. But a couple of months ago, hope came to me through the mail
in a package from a company called Thought Technology. Inside was a hand-sized
piece of machinery with the enigmatic label GSR 2. It was a biofeedback unit. I
vaguely recalled biofeedback as a sort of 70's self-improvement fad that
somewhere along the line was qui

The Benefits & Dangers Of Spiritual
Community
Author: Asoka Selvarajah, Ph.D
Being involved with a spiritual group has many
tremendous benefits over going it alone, but it can also have many pitfalls. On
the one hand, you have the benefit of interacting with people of like mind to
your own. However, on the other hand, you have the many frustrations and
challenges that come with participating in a group of diverse individuals, each
with a separate opinion of what constitutes a correct approach to the spiritual
path.

The Art of Motivating Salespeople
Author: John Boe
When the tide comes in, all the boats in the
harbor go up! The long-term benefit of an incentive program is to coax your
sales force out of their production comfort zone. Once a salesperson stretches
to a new level of personal production, their self-confidence and expectations
skyrocket. Traditionally, sales managers have relied primarily on commission to
motivate their sales force. Unfortunately, a compensation structure based solely
on commission does not address separate motivational factors and therefore,
commission alone will not motivate your sales force to peak performance. The
challenge of designing an effective sales incentive contest is that it should
not only appeal to your top producers, but it must also excite average to below
average salespeople as well. A successful incentive program is a mixture of
awards, recognition, and peer pressure. To encourage salespeople to reach their
full potential, successful managers personalize incentives.

THE ART AND SCIENCE OF SELF-DEFENSE
Author: Dr. George I. Petrotta
Many martial arts schools teach a subject which
they call "self-defense." More often than not, these schools teach various
methods of physically causing injury to an attacker to prevent him from causing
you harm. While it is good that we have such schools around, it is unfortunate
that many of these schools are not teaching self-defense at all. Some of them
are teaching methods to win trophies in martial arts tournaments, some of them
are teaching ancient outmoded ways of combat, some are teaching methods intended
to be self-defense but are really methods of committing unlawful acts, and some
of them are teaching elaborate methods to commit suicide during the process of
attempting to protect oneself. The first rule to learning effective self-defense
is to know the meaning of "self-defense."

Surviving Work: A Family Affair
Author: Michaela David
For anyone who does not know the term
"family-of-origin", it comprises our immediate family members - mother, father,
siblings and perhaps grandparents. These are the people from whom you learned
the safest way to react to life situations. For each person in this family, you
created a set of behaviours which best suited their way of interacting with you.
When you go off to your job, you take this learned behaviour with you and apply
the creative adjustments that worked within your family, to your bosses and
co-workers. Depending on what you learned in your family-of-origin this course
of action can be a smooth road or slippery slope.

Surviving Betrayal Requires a Leap of
Faith!
Author: Cynthia Wall, LCSW
I define a betrayal as any experience, even one
that should be insignificant, that produces ongoing resentment, anger, fear and
helplessness. Has someone you trusted deeply ever betrayed you? Have you
betrayed someone you love? We may rage and punish ourselves and the other, or
deny the pain, choosing to stay in the hurtful relationship. If we can't let go
of the feelings we may need to hold a shield over the heart, fearing more hurt,
thereby limiting emotional intimacy. This doesn't just affect the relationship,
it destroys self-esteem as well. Or we may choose what looks like the easiest
path-to leave--only to discover that we attract others with whom we repeat the
pattern, wondering why we ever tried to trust again!

the skin is there to protect our inner organs and vessels, the animalistic
behavior is there to protect the existence of the physical being---an outer skin
of sorts.

him if there was anything wrong, and he started to explain that his dog had died
last week. The dog was seventeen years old, and he had trained him from a puppy.
The dog could dance, sit-up, beg, roll over, “say his prayers,” and many other
tricks. My friend hurt so much that as he was talking about his dog, he had
tears in his eyes. He swore he would never have another dog, because losing him
was so painful that he never wanted to go though this again. However, over the
next six months my friend became very depressed. When he came home from work to
his empty apartment, he felt very alone and missed his dog more.

Spiritual Nutrition
Author: Suz Andreasen
In the age of fad diets, we all think a lot about
shedding those ten pounds for summer. But underneath the waist size and the
reflection in the mirror is an emotional component to how we view ourselves.
Many people find that shedding those ten pounds makes them feel better and yet,
they still carry a negative view of their own image. If you are unhappy with
your body image, can you get rid of the pounds by getting rid of your mindset?
Will you lose the weight and keep it off by changing your Spirit of Self?

Spiritual Laws to Attracting
Prosperity
Author: Linda Pliagas
Antonia Martinez needed money quickly. She had
only a few days to come up with back rent or risk eviction. Martinez decided to
put her holistic studies to the test. "I had been training back then with a
spiritual teacher. We had been working on a technique for focusing and
harnessing power to help bring the object of thought into manifestation."

Spiritual and Physical Protection.
Author: Craig Nicholson
The safeguard from evil that God has in place is
that when anyone chooses evil, they embody a lower vibration. Thus they
automatically descend away from the area of the high vibration of God, and so
cannot overcome him. Neat, huh? So how do we safeguard ourselves from danger and
from evil? It helps to have a practical balance between physical and spiritual
action. God helps those who help themselves. So it's important to tighten your
seat belt when you drive on the highway and to stay away from high crime areas
in the city, especially late at night. This should not be done with fear but
with love for being practical. Also, the more we raise our spiritual vibration,
the more those of low vibration will want to take advantage of us.

SPIRITUAL ABUSE...What is it and How
Can One Overcome its Destructive Effects?
Author: Sue Wilson, B.S.Ed.
Dr. Charles Whitfield, in Healing the Child
Within, defines one aspect of spiritual abuse as teaching children to believe in
a wrathful, punishing deity and scaring them into perpetual allegiance to a
particular religious organization (page 37). Any denomination of Christianity
could be accused of this to some degree, but the fundamental, radical ones
(those which teach the whole Bible is the inspired word of God and must be taken
literally for the most part) do the greatest damage by far. Let’s look at the
problem more closely.

Sowing and Reaping
Author: Dr. Wm G. Seavey
Every day is an opportunity for you and I to sow
something into people’s lives. It can be good or it can be bad. Have you ever
thought about what you sow (invest) you also reap (return)? Reaping is the
return on seeds sown. Did you know there are good seeds and there are bad seeds
and you can sow either one? And the seeds I am talking about here, good or bad,
will always produce a crop. You have but to sow them. And depending of which
seeds you sow you will reap a like harvest. A careless slip of the tongue, and
injury is its product. A comment with purpose of heart, and thankfulness is its
product.

Something for the Fearful Flyer
Author: Thom Rutledge, Author of Embracing Fear
What do you say to the person who is afraid of
flying and whose livelihood depends on traveling great distances? The truth is
most of us are afraid of flying to one degree or another, ranging from mild
discomfort to intense dread. Let us assume that you have a fear of flying that
falls somewhere between discomfort and dread. If you are like most people, your
position on this continuum will likely vary from circumstance to circumstance.
Turbulent weather is a common variable that moves us toward the dread end of the
scale. Plane crashes in the news are another. And of course, the recent
terrorist attacks have nudged us all in that direction. Even with the odds
overwhelmingly in our favor, it is pretty difficult these days to board an
airplane without thinking about the possibility of hijacking.

Smokescreens
Author: Pinkee Venus-de las Alas
Just like the movie “The Truman Show,” I see the
world like a big movie set and every person is an actor. You produce, direct,
and write your own movie. During the “filming” process, you act out certain
emotions because you know that people will be watching. Your verbal and
emotional responses to some questions thrown to you are like scripts that you’ve
mastered over and over. “Are you okay?”. Smile. Make eye contact. Say, “Of
course, I am.” “Do you mind if I borrow this?” Make eye contact. Nod head. Smile
then say “Sure, no problem.” “Are you happy?”, Show a ‘toothpaste’ smile then
reply, “Of course! Why shouldn’t I be? I have a good job, a car and a nice
house. God has given me a lot of blessings. I couldn’t ask for more.” Laugh.
Then add, “ I’m happy…really!” Flip hair. Laugh louder.

Sex. Possibly the most loaded word in any

a century ago, and his insights still reverberate across the decades, and did a
lot to break apart the rigid taboos against talking about sex that are a legacy
from the Victorian culture.

Selling Yourself - A Core Life Skill
Author: Dr. Asoka Selvarajah
One of the most important skills you can ever
develop is the ability to sell. You are required to sell yourself all the time.
You do it when you apply for a job or a pay rise. You have to sell yourself to
your potential love partner. When you go to the bank to apply for a loan, you
are selling yourself there. To get other people to agree with you, you have to
sell your ideas. Even if you want to do something creative and arty, you
ultimately have to sell people on liking it. It's not much fun admiring your
masterpiece all by yourself.

appeared to be endless either direction I looked. Having studied and practiced

heavy burden which was my body. I let go completely. I left and welcomed
whatever was ahead.

confronting us at different stages in our lives. Parables provide us with images
and symbols that crystallize human experience into digestible pieces. As we are
symbol seeking creatures, parables serve to illustrate each lesson we are about
to embark on. They inform, they guide and they teach.

Some people have no problem parachuting from an airplane while others of us
think that’s a really dumb idea and our insides get all stirred up even thinking
about it. Some of us rather enjoy standing in front of a group of people

The challenge with too many salespeople is that

income they achieve. I must tell you, though, that the highest paid professional
salespeople I know have burned their bridges to other sources of income and made
that total commitment to selling as a career. They must succeed! They are not
willing to look back! They look only to the future and the exciting
opportunities each day in sales brings them.

implement, and they forgot why they were interested in your product or service

SADNESS IS A STATE OF HAPPINESS
Author: Monica A. Frank, Ph.D.
One day when I was seven–years–old my father
allowed me to choose our Sunday family activity. He said we could either take a
drive across the Mississippi River or ride on the last streetcar in St. Louis.
At that time of my life I had never seen an ocean or even a great lake and I was
awed by the vastness of the Mississippi River. It never occurred to me that the
river would always be there and the streetcars might not. I chose the river. Of
course, driving across the river took all of fifteen seconds. Immediately after
we crossed the bridge I regretted my decision. My regret at the time was that
the streetcar excursion would have been lengthier. My regret later was that I
never again had the opportunity to ride a streetcar in St. Louis.

Author: Stephen Morgan
While all eyes were fixed on men of Middle Eastern

since September 11th came instead from from British and American citizens. Most
certainly they will not be last to launch suicide and terrorist attacks against
Western countries in the name of Bin Laden. This begs the question of what
motivates and lies behind the psychology of these two individuals and the
capacity for Al Qaida to recruit directly from natives within the countries it
wishes to attack. Reid’s attempt to blow an airliner and Padilla’s plans to
detonate a nuclear dirty bomb will be repeated by other of their ilk.

time you are rejected, a tiny piece of your self-esteem is stripped away
from an increasingly suffering self-image. Why is that?

beliefs, fears, hang-ups, and even relationships that don’t fit in your future,

By the time I was introduced to drugs, cigarettes

with my friends. I decided to run and hide from my problems which started a very
bad habit. Originally introduced to rebellious behavior by my older brother and
cousin, since I was not busy with enough activities and interests, I was more
easily influenced to go along with what they were doing.

PUT AN END TO UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Author: Rhoberta Shaler, PhD
Do you have energy leaks? You know an energy leak
by your losses--loss of time, loss of a feeling of control, loss of
organization. An energy leak is what occurs when you are driving along and
suddenly remember something that you should have done by now, or something you
have forgotten. An energy leak happens when you have not taken care of a
relationship is sue and now you are avoiding that person. Energy leaks fall into
the category of 'Unfinished Business'.

Psychosomatic Energetic
Author: Dr.med.Reimar Banis M.D./N.D.
Psychosomatic disturbances are very frequent
causes of therapeutic blockade´s in the general practice. We are often blocked
already at the diagnosis of such disturbances and let ourselves be deceived by
the delusion of somatization. As naturopath´s we are moreover willing to
incriminate such disturbances to Amalgam-intoxication, dysbiosis, focus, milk
and wheat-incompatibility, endobiont´s e.g.. In our effort to overcome these
"enemies" we see no longer the underlying emotional conflicts of our
patients.The uncovering of deep emotional conflicts also is time consuming and
the therapy often becomes unsatisfying. With a new developed test system
psychosomatic conflicts can be uncovered in a short time and more precisely than
with any other method we know. Compared with kinesiology the results are more
stable and reproducible. Also I have developed energetic remedies (emotional
remedies = called „Emvita? for the therapy of psychosomatic disturbances which

Protect Yourself from Identity Theft

Millions of Americans use credit cards, take out
money from savings and checking accounts, write checks, and open new bank

themselves at risk for identity theft. However, there are many steps that one
can take to protect oneself from being an identity theft victim. In addition,
knowing how an identity thief gets his or her information will allow a person to

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ENERGY VAMPIRES
AT WORK
Author: Judith Orloff MD
The quality of our relationships affects our
health. Our relationships are governed by a give and take of energy. Some
coworkers and colleagues make us more electric or at ease. Yet others suck the
life right out of us. As a physician and energy specialist I want to verify that
energy vampires roam the workplace sapping our exuberance. With patients and in
my workshops I’ve seen their fang marks and the carnage they’ve strewn. But most
of us don’t know how to identify and cope with vampires, so we mope around as
unwitting casualties, enduring a preventable fatigue.

Power Words
Author: Ralph Carpio
One of the most amazing areas of self-creation
comes in the form of words. The things we think and say to ourselves and the
things we think and say to others carries a creative surge of power. This is an
area of creation that is often underemphasized. It is truly incredible how we
can become so unaware of the words that come out of our mouths. When we don’t
make the effort to scrutinize them carefully, this area of our power can easily
slip our grasp. Our words, our utterances are powerful creative energy, plain
and simple. They are the energy that can either allow or deny our dreams.

P is for Priorities
Author: Gail McMeekin
Your choices determine the quality of your life
experience. The act of making choices implies the chance or the power to select
one option over another. Positive Choices are life choices elected to support
your body, mind, and spirit. Negative life choices, such as doing unsatisfying
work or staying in a destructive relationship, undermine your joy of living.
They drain you of your precious life energy and potential. Yet, in the wake of
stress and life adversities, we often forget that we do have the power to
re-create our lives by Adding and Subtracting Positive and negative life
choices. In fact, learning and then implementing this basic yet challenging
technique empowers you to claim the life you truly desire.

In India, the method for training an elephant is
the following: When the elephant is very young, its leg is tied to a small post
with a thin piece of rope. At that age the elephant hasn’t the power to break
the rope or dislodge the post. It tries for a while and then gives up. As the
elephant grows, there’s no reason to increase the girth of the rope or the post.
The elephant of course reaches such size and strength that it could, if it
wanted, easily break free from the restraint. But having tried and failed
earlier, it stops trying, convinced that it’s entrapped ...Doesn’t that sound
like us?

Overcome Objections and Close the
Sale
Author: John Boe
Unfortunately, the first two orders many new
salespeople receive are “get out and stay out!” It is human nature for your
prospect to procrastinate when asked to make a decision involving money. Studies
indicate that a prospect will say no on average five times before they actually
buy. As a professional salesperson, it is important to remember that an
objection is not a rejection of you personally. Simply put, an objection is
nothing more than a request for additional information. As a general rule,
prospects are hesitant to commit to purchasing a product or service until they
have convinced themselves they need it and that they are getting it at a fair
price. Top producing salespeople not only expect objections during the sales
process, they anticipate them. Believe it or not, objections are a good sign and
you should actually look forward to them. If your prospect weren’t somewhat
interested in your product or service, they wouldn’t be asking questions.
Typically, your prospect’s objections fall into four m

twinge here and there, which was never there before. Old and recently acquired
injuries seem to feel sore for much longer and recovery time is a lot longer
also than it used to be. Shuffling to the bathroom, you look at the tired eyes,

Author: Michael Nudel and Eva Nudel, Ph.D.
People use five senses to perceive the material
world around them. However, the material world consists of more subtle
occurrences than can be perceived by the five senses, and if people become
attuned to the higher dimensional worlds, they can more easily comply with the
Laws of the Universe. As small parts people must submit the Laws of Universe. In
other words, by developing people's ability to sense energetic fields, they will
perceive the world around them with a more complete perspective that includes a
newly developed bio-energetic ability. Developing bio-energetic abilities is a
fascinating and evolving process. Once you begin developing your energy and
healing abilities, it is not possible to stop, turn away, or forget the

to adapt them to yourself. The more you understand your psychological make-up

Monkey Removal
Author: Michael Claridge
How many monkeys are you carrying? Come now, I am
sure you are carrying at least one or two – maybe more. Are they heavy? Do they
bother you or have you become good friends? Some monkeys can be pretty heavy. I
have carried a few myself a time or two. Not too fun if you ask me.

Midlife Career Change: It's about

I hear from many people who feel trapped in a

creative dream, recover from burnout or just try something new. The old
challenge is now a "been there, done that."

Menopause Manners For Men
Author: Valerie Otto
Menopause is not what it used to be. Women are
approaching this time of life differently - the new outlook is energized as most
women are healthy and become free of many past identities and responsibilities.
A natural option like Oona is one I know many women will find valuable in
dealing with the bothersome symptoms at this time and I’m hoping to see more
women incorporate another valuable and natural ally crucial in making this next
stage truly exciting -- our men! But we can’t do it alone. So based on our
completely unscientific research, here are tips I hope our better half will find
useful.

Meditation: Can sitting with your eyes

Author: Jim Malloy
What comes to mind when you think of meditation?
People sitting on remote mountain tops in exotic lands? Lines of monks sitting
on monastery floors in deep concentration? Ages ago, meditation may have been
practiced only by a select few reclusive types. But today, millions of people
from all walks of life are enjoying the many benefits of meditation. No longer
shrouded in mysticism, meditation has emerged as a practical and valuable tool
for relieving the stress of modern living, and improving our overall quality of
life. How can practicing meditation improve your quality of life?

Maybe it's Good

I'd done a lot of walking in the last two days and

Marketing or Manifesting?
Author: Cathy Goodwin, PhD
A friend was working with a marketing coach,
chosen for his hard-nosed, no-nonsense approach. Disappointed with the results,
she suggested there might be a more fundamental problem, such as positioning or
lack of a sizeable target market for her product. The coach responded, "You are
being negative! That's the problem -- not the market. Visualize -- don't
analyze."

Manifest away

The sun crept over the horizon and lodged itself

MANAGING YOUR TIME
Author: ROY BURTON
We often see on our televisions graphic images of
terrible car crashes, mostly where somebody had been speeding and come to grief.
Later tests usually showed that the crash occurred because someone, in order to
save time, had taken a terrible risk, and lost the gamble. But what if the crash
hadn’t happened, and the driver had got away with the chance he had taken? What
if he hadn’t been killed? What would he have done with those few seconds saved
had he lived? The probability is that those precious, golden seconds would have
been wasted anyway, squandered on some triviality. Yet the driver had forfeited
his life and brought grief and suffering to many others just for that.

Making Miracles - The Chewy Surprise
Inside
Author: Rita Louise
In the Bible, there are many recorded
instances of miracles occurring. In the Old Testament, Moses is said to have
brought plagues of frogs and locusts upon the Egyptians, parted the Red Sea,
and rained "manna" from the sky. Likewise, in the New Testament, Jesus said
is to have turned water into wine, healed the sick and infirm, and brought
Lazarus back from the dead. These stories may seem incredible, exceptional,
and stupendous to us. Unfortunately, they may also appear unachievable for
regular people like you and me.

Making It Happen!
Author: Bill McGrane
ABSTRACT: Have you ever wondered who you really
are? Take a moment and reflect on yourself as a person. Be brutally honest.
Consider who you are and how you live. Are you where you want to be? Who
controls your personal power? Is decision making easy? What is your level of
stress? How do you relate to others? Do you like the way people respond to you?
Is your job or career satisfying and fulfilling? Are you prepared for the "what
ifs" in life? What are your top three frustrations? Can you recognize
reoccurring destructive behavior? How would you like your life to be?

amount on your purchases. Online purchase stores are now offering its customers
up to 40% Cash Back on every purchase made. For shoppers, who do not like to
venture out for their shopping and make all their purchases from online stores,
these Cash Back rebate programmes actually pay them back for just the pains you
are taking to go online.

Make a One Decision Not Just a New
Years Resolution
Author: Judith Wright (founder - The Wright Institute for Lifelong Learning)
Every year the majority of us make a promise to
ourselves that we will change some habit we find unseemly – we make a New Year’s
resolution. And for a time, even if it is just a fleeting moment, we actually
believe that we will keep that promise. We will stop eating a pint of Ben &
Jerry’s every time we have a bad day, we will only wear our workout pants when
we’re actually going to the gym, we will water the plants, eat nutritious meals,
and be at work on time. And this year, we’ll actually do it…Yeah, right.

Magnetic Fields as a Form of Energy
Medicine
Author: William Pawluk, MD, MSc
Just imagine, reaching into the body and healing
an imbalance without touching anything. This is what medical magnetic fields do.
This is the essence of energy medicine. These magnetic “waves” are the future
medicine. Magnetic field devices becoming available to the public deliver fields
to the body that are “like a breeze in the trees”. The branches and leaves are
moving but nothing is seen to be doing it. This “air” moves through the body
like it wasn’t even there. This is the magic potential of medical magnetic
fields.

Looking At Time With A Capital T
Author: Maya Talisman Frost
I keep a fossil on my desk at all times. Whenever
I feel rushed or find myself creating a sense of urgency, I pick up the fossil
and caress its polished surface. It’s over 200 million years old. Suddenly,
returning that phone call or meeting that self-imposed deadline doesn’t seem
nearly as critical. My ancient arthropod reminds me that, in the scheme of
things, this moment is indescribably insignificant. I find that remarkably
comforting.

Living Purposefully: Making thoughts
and actions count
Author: Gwendolyn M. Duhon, Ph.D.
What does it mean to live purposefully? Simply
put, it means that we live each day as though it may be our last chance to make
difference in the lives of others or in our own lives. It means that we decide
to make our living meaningful and focus our energies on accomplishing our goals.
Living purposefully requires that we think before we act- consider the
consequences of our actions in relationship to how it affects our lives and the
lives of others. Before we utter careless words, ingest unhealthy food, or act
in ways contrary to common sense we must consider:

They report that the Los Angeles Times and Weekly World News printed articles
about a man living in China named Wu Yunqing. Mr. Yunqing was 142 years old in
1980. The article includes a photo of him riding his bicycle! When he was
interviewed about his diet, he answered, “I eat corn, rice, sweet potatoes, and
other fruits and vegetables.? Remember the study done by Dr. Alexander Leaf, who
published the findings of his research about the oldest people in the world in
the January, 1973 edition of National Geographic magazine? He reported that the
three most consistently disease-free and long-lived people on Earth are the
Abkahazians of Russia, the Vilacabambans of Ecuador, and the Hunzukuts of
Pakistan. None of these peoples suffer from Western diseases: no obesity, no
cancer, no heart disease! On average, these people live to be over 100 years
old. The men are physically active and st

In our search for wellness and health, we

We are all susceptible to wanting the latest miracle pill, the new sleek workout

are about sinplicity and the basics. So my advice is, if you're looking for diet

Listening to the Soul
Author: Kim Eickhoff
Listening to the soul is the fourth and final
component of what I call, Working it Out, Within. Listening to the soul is
mainly about spirituality. I believe that we each have a spiritual side. It is
that component that drives us to find meaning for our lives and to live as fully
as we possibly can. For some, it has to do with believing in a higher power or
God. For others, spirituality is about how they view their connection to the
environment, nature, other people, and the world as a whole. I do encourage
others to find a way to celebrate their spirit, because I believe that this is
the piece that ultimately gives our lives true meaning. However, I do not
believe in telling others how to do this for themselves. This is a decision that
we each must make on our own, and it is very individualized as well as very
personal.

Life Is Easy, Isn't It?
Author: Jerry Lopper
"Life is easy" seems easily understood
intellectually. Take what comes along with thanks and gratitude; the
circumstances and choices we make are perfect for us. All this feels right when
said in a contemplative atmosphere. But after a few doses of life's reality, we
have a difficult time bringing "life is easy" to daily application. Loved ones
with health problems, layoffs and down-sizing, widespread terrorism, and random
killings, all cause us to choke a bit on the phrase.

Levels of Life... Creeping up the
Ladder of Excellence
Author: Edward B. Toupin
Have you ever wondered why someone felt so distant
or seemed so different than anyone else in a crowd? Have you ever wondered why
you always seemed to struggle with some mundane task in your life while others
seem to soar? If you answered yes to either of those questions, then you need to
sit back and evaluate your current situation and determine the best way to begin
moving up through the various levels of life. Life is a series of levels, or
steps, that lead to many different paths. Each step allows us the security and
knowledge necessary to take on the next big step to bring us fulfillment on our
path toward our vision.

Letting Go and Moving Forward
Author: Karim Hajee
Let's face it Many of us choose to hang on to
things that at some point have hurt us, angered us, made us feel sad, or
depressed us. If we choose to hang on to them, we will never move forward and we
could even create physical or medical damage to our bodies. To prevent this from
happening we need to let go but no one really tells you how to let go and move
forward. Sure it's easy to say: "Just let go, move forward, forget about it,
just let go." But that really doesn’t work. I’m about to show you how to let go
and start moving forward.

Letting Go – In my own words!
Author: Ashleigh Stewart
What do we mean in healing when we talk about
‘letting go’? Everywhere we turn to get some help in healing, all we hear is
people preaching to us “you must let it go!” This probably sounds like a very
nice idea to the person who seeks guidance and I do agree with whomever it is
that is preaching this statement, but to the person who is the one in need of
healing, just what on earth does it really mean?
