How To Contact Archangels

2013-02-05T14:45:00.000-05:00

I LOVE the Archangels! They are one of the most powerful beings next to God the Creator and it's so easy to work with them when you have a problem and need help. All You have to do is call on them and they are at your side in seconds. One thing about Archangels is that they just do not intervene in helping you with what is bothering you. You MUST ask them to come and help you and invite them in.

It's very easy to talk to them. You can think of the Archangel you would like to contact and just ask for the help you need but you must be respectful with a please and a thank you at the end of your request. You can communicate with them through thoughts, spoken words, and even through writing. You can make it as simple or as complex as you wish. You do NOT have to be in a meditative state of mind to talk to your Archangel of choice.

Here is a list of the Archangels that I personally work with along with what they do and a sample of how you can contact them.

Michael ~ His name means “Who is like God” Known as the Prince of Light and Protection

We can ask Archangel Michael to help us control and overcome the negative tendencies that still exist in our being. Anytime we feel overwhelmed by events, or when life situations seem to develop relentessly, he can help us have a more elevated, more spiritual and wiser view upon our life. His mission is to guide and protect us from injustice and to help us open our beings towards what is eternal and immortal. We can ask him to help us in any situation when we feel overwhelmed or alone and we need help. He is surrounded by blue rays of light and radiates heat. He is one of the largest archangels and is in command of all the light workers.

“Archangel Michael I ask that you come to me and help me. Please be at my right hand side today and shine your blue rays of light into my heart and soul clearing out all negative thoughts, feelings, energies, and people and fill me with courage, wisdom, love and justice. I call upon you to help me with...........name situation . Archangel Michael I love thee, and I invoke thee. Thank you.”

Chamuel ~ His name means “He Who Sees God”

People sometimes ask for Chamuel’s help to: discover more about God’s love, find inner peace resolve conflicts with others, forgive people who have hurt or offended them, find and nurture and reach out to serve people in turmoil who need help to find peace. Chamuel is often depicted with a heart that represents love, since he focuses on peaceful relationships. He's about love, mercy, adoration, compassion, gratitude, soulmates and your life purpose. Archangel Chamuel is of the Pink light and is surrounded by pink rays.

“Archangel Chamuel of the Pink Ray, I ask you to please be in front of me now, shining your pink light upon me and filling me with love and forgiveness. Please help me to forgive others and for others to forgive me. Please strengthen my relationship and make it whole again. Archangel Chamuel I need your help with ….Name Situation. Thank you Chamuel and I love thee.”

Raphael ~ His name means “The Healer” “The Medicine of God”

Archangel Raphael is the most emotional and compassionate of the Archangels and his sympathies lay with those that are mentally, physically, emotionally not well due to any circumstances that happens on the earth. He also helps in healing the earth itself and brings peace to those who ask. He is about truth, Healing of the Body, Mind, and the Soul, Inspiration, and material needs. Yes, he can heal troubled relationships and you may ask in someone else's behalf for him to intervene. Archangel Raphael has helped me tremedously with peace and calmness and really puts things into perspective.

He is surrounded by an emerald green light and all you have to do is ask him to shine it upon you and he will.

“Archangel Raphael, Please come to my aid and shine your green emerald light through the bottoms of my feet throughout my body and out the top of my head, encasing me in your green rays of light. I need you so much to help me mentally, physically, and emotionally. I need help from you to be able to see things in a much more calmer light. Archangel Raphael please help me with....name situation. I invoke this Raphael and I thank thee and love thee.

These are the THREE main archangels that I am reaching out to at the present time on a daily basis. In my next article I will introduce you to more of the archangels and the powers they have to help mankind.

Help Yourself To A Serving Of Self-Help

2012-07-02T09:57:00.001-04:00

You need to have some knowledge of what to look for and expect, from helping yourself be a better person and live a better life. You need to know what resources are available to you and who can provide you answers, as to what you need for your future. The tips below can help you with how to start. A great self help tip is to make sure your diet isn't making you depressed. If your diet consists of a lot of junk food then your mind might pay the price. Try eating healthier foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Eating healthier will make you feel much better. Value what is important to you. We have been raised to make compromises, but why should you conform if it makes you unhappy? Break your old habits and follow what really matters to you. If something is really dear to you, organize your lifestyle around it and make compromises in favor of what matters to you. One great tip with regards to personal development is to make a plan and stick to it. Creating a plan to achieve a goal is great, but it is only half the battle. Understand that setting up goals and making plans is easy, executing them is the hard part.

A great tip for personal development is to never quit. No matter how hard your goals are, you should never quit on them. Many people fail at their goals because they gave up. However, the people who succeed at their goals are the ones who never quit through the bad times. They stuck with their goals and eventually succeeded. Practice selflessness. When you look outside yourself to see how others in your community and in the world are living each day, you can do something to help those less fortunate. Set aside judgment and, without regard for your own feelings and prejudices, give of your time or money. When you sacrifice for others, you realize who you are. A great way to achieve better personal development is to respect yourself as well as others. If you do not respect yourself, you do not value the type of person you are and it will be much harder to improve your life. Respecting others is a great way to start respect yourself. If you have a large, seemingly unattainable goal, break it down into smaller tasks. Taking on a huge goal all at once can quickly become overwhelming. Instead, break the goal down into as many small, simple tasks as possible. Then, focus on accomplishing each of those tasks. Before you know it, all of your small efforts will add up, allowing you to reach your larger goal.

Determine why you engage in negative activities. Do you smoke because you feel the need to do something with your hands when in an uncomfortable situation or because you need the nicotine high? Do you eat too much because you are bored or lonely? Determine the reason for these behaviors and you are more likely to successfully address them. Try using the free spaces under your stairs for extra storage. These can provide you with some decent sized drawers to keep more of your stuff in. These areas are nice and cool too so they make great storage for things that are sensitive to warm or hot temperatures. Do not just talk to yourself. It is really easy to be an advisor to yourself or others. It is so much harder to actually act on it. So look at advice that you might give someone else if they were in your situation, and listen to your own words. Then act on the advice that you would be giving. Try to avoid potential triggers.

Many people have specific things that trigger their poor moods or episodes. To avoid unnecessary stress and anxiety, try to avoid the trigger. Stay out of situations that might upset you. Try to resist visiting websites or forums that might contain content that could upset you. Be wary of how you treat people. Being unnecessarily cruel to others almost never works in your favor. Make friends when you can. If you simply cannot bring yourself to get along with someone you should, at the very least, try and form some sort of civil relationship with them. Spend some time off of the internet. If you are constantly on the computer trying to find ways to resolve your problems, you are not going to fix the problem that you are stressing over. Spending less time on the computer will allow you to spend more time contributing to fixing the problem. When depressed it can be hard to eat or work up an appetite. It's important to eat a balanced diet filled with vitamins and nutrients you need. If you simply can't eat or don't feel like it try a nutritional supplement, like Ensure, that has all the vitamins and nutrients important for your body. As you have seen in the above tips, there is a lot of knowledge you can acquire before making a plan of action, in order to make positive changes to your life and yourself. Do everything you must to plan, apply and achieve your personal goals, for living more healthy and prosperous. If you are looking for ways to improve yourself, then be sure to learn more about disaster preparedness Want to get yourself inspired everyday? Then be sure to check out our quotes to live by now.

Are You Giving From A Place of Horror or Hope

2012-06-26T09:54:00.003-04:00

Are You Giving From A Place of Horror or Hope? Five Steps to Healing Your Way to Empowered Giving

By: Coco Fossland

During times of need, many people rise to the occasion and give whatever is in their hearts. Yet, like everything, the way we give is a reflection of how we live every other aspect of our lives. Thus, even giving can become fodder for our own inner transformation. It all boils down to one simple question... are you giving from a place of fear and horror or from a place of hope and abundance?
How you give, and from where in your spirit the giving is birthed, is a reflection or a mirror of how you live your life.

When the devastating news arrived on newspapers across the world that New Orleans was under twenty feet of water in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, many people - perhaps you - immediately went online with credit card in hand to donate money to help the water-soaked community. The question is, in the moments leading you to your computer, what were the deeper feelings and thoughts that drove your giving response?
Were you horrified that something so terrible could happen?
Did you feel helpless that such a tragedy could happen to you?
Were you stunned by how vulnerable the people living in Mississippi and New Orleans were and are?
Did you sense your own vulnerability?
Did you feel guilty that you are safe, happy, and well... while so many others right now, are in peril?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, recognize that at least some of your impulse to give stems from a place of fear in you. In other words, you are giving from a place of fear or horror.
Giving from a place of horror or fear is not inherently a bad thing. But it is something to observe and be aware of. Often times we express the love and care to others that we most need to give to ourselves.

Whenever you discover that you're responding from your fear, take time to focus attention and healing on the part of you that is afraid.
First, identify the fear. Look at the person or organization to which you are offering support. What is the fear that this organization brings up for you? What situation, predicament, problem, or ailment do you fear happening to you? Whether it's the fear of loosing everything, the fear of getting cancer, the fear of living in squalor, the fear of being discriminated against, or the fear of dying -- understand for yourself, which fear in you is present. On a piece of paper, write down your fear.
Second, identify the feeling. Let yourself feel your fear of having cancer, living in squalor, being oppressed, or facing death. What does that fear feel like? Identify the specific feeling. Is it rage, sadness, desperation, hopelessness, bitterness, anxiety, numbness? Write down the specific feeling that lives beneath the fear.

Third, trace back the feeling. Allow yourself to recall three other times in your life when you felt that same feeling before. Trust whatever memories from your past come to the surface first. Sometimes the incidents you recall will have little in common with the current fear, but trust that the feeling is somehow related. Write down each of the experiences and recall exactly how you felt. Notice how these three incidents from the past and are somehow emotionally connected to the fear you're experiencing now.

Fourth, understand the healing that is needed. Pick one of the three incidents from your past - preferably the one when you were the youngest. Look at that situation, and with an open heart, allow yourself to see, what you longed for at that moment in time. What did your spirit desperately want and need? Did it want safety, understanding, love, hope, attention, kindness, praise? What were you longing for? Write down whatever you notice.

Fifth, finally, give yourself healing today. Ask yourself how you could give yourself whatever you longed for in the past. If you longed for love, maybe today you could look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself how wonderful you are. If you longed for hope, maybe today you could light a candle that represents hope in your living room. If you longed for attention, maybe today you could write yourself a letter of acknowledgment and praise. In other words, give to yourself today, whatever healing you longed for in the past.
As you take the action of healing, let yourself feel your relationship with your fear transform and evolve.
When you heal your own spirit in conjunction with the giving you provide to others, you open yourself to a possibility of giving from a place of hope and empowerment rather than fear and horror.
The difference between empowered giving and fear-based giving, is dramatic. Not just for you, but also for the recipient.
When you have healed yourself, you hold open the space of hope for others. Thus, you give, not only your support, but you also give the energy of empowerment, possibility, and strength. And isn't that what we'd hope to give anyway?

Finding The Secret

2012-05-12T09:11:00.002-04:00

Finding The Secret

By: Rev. Eleanor Richard

There is a vast secret that many have known throughout the ages. Thousands of us are awakening to discover it for ourselves. This powerful knowledge, when applied, is enough to transform our planet into the peace on earth we all say that we want. It even transforms my life--and yours, too.

It's simple. Too simple, some will say. Yet, in all its simplicity, it is difficult to comprehend intellectually, and far more difficult to BECOME this secret every day.

At first, as with any new idea, the automatic response is, "That's nonsense." As we begin to practice this secret we begin to hope it is so. This is followed by an attitude of "Let's see if it can be done." Then it IS done. "Why wasn't this done long ago"

Here's the key concept, developed in my own words:

There is only one God--one Energy Field, one Great Spirit, Allah, Power for Good, in all creation. This Power is Love, which delights in individualizing Itself in many forms, the most diverse, the better. We can use this Power. My ongoing thoughts and attitudes produce my environment.

All ancient wisdoms taught that God is All There Is, in different words. In every religion, God, or Love, expresses Truth. In all religions, philosophies--yes, even science--this One offers Himself/Herself/Itself in different ways. There is no separation between all the religions! There can be no separation between races, nations and neighborhoods, for Energy, or God, does not separate, cannot divide. God creates by uniting.

As I realize this more each day, I continue to expand my circle of love to include more and more people and ideas, no matter how weird or destructive. "He closed his circle to keep me out, but I expand my circle to bring him in," is an old, true quote. We have an assignment, folks. We are here to create heaven on earth, wherever we are in our daily lives.

There is no separation. We are all made of "star stuff." We are all One. Why not give unity consciousness a chance and get about our business?

Does life just "happen to you"? It's easy to sit back and watch events unfold. If you don't exert your creative power in life, life will express randomly in your experience-the world of Victim Consciousness. You can make life happen on your terms, but you must make a commitment. "What? No, way," you say. "I came up here to escape commitments and the daily grind." Lots of people seem to believe that if they make a commitment, they will have to do something that they don't want to do, right? Not true!

Here's a better way of understanding commitment. Commitment is a way of choosing what you want to do and focusing your power to make it happen. It is one of the most effective techniques you can use in making your life happen on your terms.

I define commitment as the focusing of my personal power. And what is personal power? That amount of universal energy which I can access at any given moment.
You can access your personal power and create the world you want!

The Path That Leads To Nowhere
by Corinne Roosevelt Robinson

There's a path that leads to Nowhere
In a meadow that I know,
Where an inland island rises
And the stream is still and slow;
There it wanders under willows
And beneath the silver green
Of the birches' silent shadows
Where the early violets lean.

Other pathways lead to Somewhere,
But the one I love so well
Had no end and no beginning --
Just the beauty of the dell,
Just the windflowers and the lilies
Yellow striped as adder's tongue,
Seem to satisfy my pathway
As it winds their sweets among.

There I go to meet the Springtime,
When the meadow is aglow,
Marigolds amid the marshes, --
And the stream is still and slow. --
There I find my fair oasis,
And with care-free feet I tread
For the pathway leads to Nowhere,
And the blue is overhead!

All the ways that lead to Somewhere
Echo with the hurrying feet
Of the Struggling and the Striving,
But the way I find so sweet
Bids me dream and bids me linger,
Joy and Beauty are its goal, --
On the path that leads to Nowhere
I have sometimes found my soul!

Corinne Roosevelt Robinson (1861- 1933)

Corinne was the younger sister of former President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt and an aunt of former First Lady of the United States, Eleanor Roosevelt.

A published poet, lecturer, and orator, she began writing at an early age and in 1911, Robinson published her first poem, "The Call of Brotherhood", in Scribner's Magazine. Her first book of poems of the same title was published in 1912.

Time To Stop Seeking?

2012-05-07T20:27:00.000-04:00

"If there are so many seekers, why are there so few finders?"

-- Eckhart Tolle

Perhaps we've misunderstood the whole concept of a spiritual journey. The term "seeker" means we are looking for something we believe we do not have now. It places all hope on the future because as a seeker, we haven't yet found our salvation.

Tolle encourages us to experience the truth of who we are by being present right now. If we do that, we don't have to seek anything. We already have everything and can relax and rejoice in the power of being.

"There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A man's whole life is a succession of moment after moment. If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue."

-- Hagakure

Attract the Universe and Achieve Your Goals by: Donny Pazzero

2012-05-05T07:31:00.001-04:00

The Universal Law of Attraction can be a very effective tool in making you achieve your goals and practically everything else you want to have in this lifetime. You will realize that desire should always start from within, and the world will just obey your thoughts, actions and ideas. Here are some guidelines on how to get your objectives just the way you want.

Ask the Universe

According to the Universal Law of Attraction, ask the universe and it shall give to you. However, to achieve your goals, you have to truly have an idea about what kind of thing or event you want to happen in your life. There are plenty of items that you can ask from the world. The most common are superficial things such as money, a new car, a new house, etc. More meaningful items include better relationships with your family or wife, happiness in your job and life, etc. All of these can be given to you at the time you want and in the extent you need. To help you work out what you want find a personal development consultant who will help you identify this at a very low cost for you.

The Way You Ask

The way you ask the universe will also matter. Keep in mind that the universe will immediately hear and respond in the manner you believe in. Your first thought might go, 'I want a brand new Ferrari.' The world will then respond, 'Your wish is my command.' However, other thoughts can still enter such as, 'But it may still be when I'm in my 40's.' or 'But it will happen when I get the promotion.' or even 'It can't happen.' The world will just say yes to everything you inject in your thoughts.

The time, extent, severity and other details of your wish will be determined by your mind alone. If you have any doubt or disbelief about the power of the universe to provide, then it will truly give to you accordingly. Make sure you clean your thoughts thoroughly so that you set your goals straight and allow the universe to perform the best way.

Your Actions

Once you and your personal development consultant have set your goals and asked from the universe, your mind, thoughts and body will start acting automatically to lead towards the goals and objectives. You will subconsciously accomplish small tasks and open up a wide array of opportunities that are meant to direct you to the ultimate mark. Renew your goals each morning as you wake up and your body will just function immediately towards these.

Work both consciously and subconsciously. Remember that it also requires effort and discipline on your part to receive the best things in life. Do not expect everything to just fall into place. If you want to land that promotion, then you should start going to work early, volunteer for projects and show that you are prepared for bigger responsibilities.

Staying Positive

The Universal Law of Attraction helps you achieve your goals, as long as you remain positive. Always believe that the universe is capable of providing immediately. Anything can actually happen, in the time you have set. Always be optimistic in the face of adversary. It is not impossible that you will encounter a few problems along the way, but what's more important is how you relate to the situation in a positive light. Be conscious about what's happening and act to alleviate the effects. If every you need support with any of this then take advantage of the amazing benefits of having a personal development consultant.

Just Imagine, You Can Experience a Whole New Life NOW

2012-05-03T17:49:00.000-04:00

© February 2012

You’ve probably heard, "The only time we have is now, this our present moment." So this means that we can only live in the present, act in the present and experience life in the present moment. You may be asking, "If this is the case then why do I have so many problems in my life?"

Everything that happens in our life is created by a choice we made – consciously or unconsciously – via the thoughts and beliefs that we are holding in the present moment. The past is really only a memory of the past. If we dwell in the past we continue to bring forward the same past experiences whether good or bad by putting energy into them in the present moment. Our future, the things we desire, our plans or even things we are dreading are still all created in our present, right now, state of mind. This means that we can only experience joy in this now moment of time. A happy memory is really only a present feeling of happiness stimulated by thinking about the past and the only pain we can experience is the pain of the present moment. A painful memory brings forth pain and sadness that we experience in our now.

If we can get the present moment right by experiencing peace, harmony, joy, love and happiness in our now – our past and future problems will take care of themselves.

You may be asking, "How can this be possible?"

We need to monitor our habitual thinking patterns as these form our beliefs thus create our now experience. What we think about internally we bring about externally. Some people think constantly about all sorts of unpleasant things that might happen to them. They imagine quarrels, injustices, accidents, misfortunes of every kind and because they invested so much time imagining them, they truly believe them and most of what they created in their mind will be created in their life experience.

Your thoughts and images should be focused on only those things you would really like to come to fruition in your own life. Anything good is possible just as all the negative imaginings are possible. Make today the beginning of your new life. Imagine that you are living your dream life now. Remember you only have this present moment and it is this present moment that creates your next present moment.

Begin by imagining that you have no fear and nothing can stop you from doing whatever it is that makes your heart sing. Imagine that you are healthy, peaceful, giving, happy and kind to everyone you meet. Imagine all your relationships are healthy and they bring to each of you love and joy. Imagine you have the perfect job, the one that was designed by your soul; it nourishes your creativity and brings joy to your heart. It provides the money you need to not only survive the earth plane but thrive! To be happy, act happy!

Begin to see everything in your experience with a whole new set of eyes. When you view a discarded bag of Burger King on the sidewalk instead of becoming angry that someone littered; pick it up and as you throw it into the garbage give thanks that someone was blessed to eat today. View the world as kind and filled with love. Be love and see love.

When you find love in everything … your present moment will be filled with love. Every minute of every day we create in our now moment. You have the power within you to suffer in pain or live with joy, what will you continually choose?

With Love and Tremendous Gratitude, Many Blessings! Namaste,

Getting Down To Essentials

2012-05-02T08:51:00.004-04:00

"Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials."

-- Lin Yutang

Do you feel a desire to simplify your life?

If you say "yes," then set an intention to reduce the demands, stimuli, interruptions and busyness in your life. We each have the power to do this .. we simply have to begin to say "no" to those activities that don't directly serve what we want for our lives.

Everyone of this planet deserves to have some free time to think, relax and have fun. If you long for this, begin now to clear your plate and allow a new level of experience to happen in your life. Take charge. Eliminate time wasters. Make some decisions about what matters to you.

"The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak."

-- Hans Hofmann

Inspirational Message

2012-05-01T08:28:00.000-04:00

God's Plan for your life means adventures
And choices to make on your own...
And though you may
sometimes feel lonely,
You'll never be truly alone---
For all through your life
will be people
Remembering you in their prayers,
And every time you face a challenge,
You'll know there is
Someone who cares.
He'll stay close beside you
through good times...
In bad times,
He'll carry you through...
So always remember that Someone
is always remembering you.

Feeling Safe

2012-04-30T10:34:00.001-04:00

"Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are -- chaff and grain together -- certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away."

-- Dinah Craik

We cherish our best friends and our special communities because we feel safe to be vulnerable when we're in their embrace. And yet I have discovered that as long as I identify with my self-image, with my ego, there's no safety possible anywhere. When the ego is on watch, even a dear friend's truth may trigger reactions like anxiety, self-criticism and fear.

The only true safety exists in living the truth of our soul, our essence.

"Open your body and your mind to the subtler levels of experience, letting go of your attempt to control, to be right, not worrying about appearances, not trying to be safe."

-- Stephen Levine

Tune Into The Inner Critic

2011-06-20T23:58:00.002-04:00

"A critic is a legless man who teaches running."

-- Channing Pollock

Are you aware of your inner critic? We all have this voice that tells us we are bad, stupid, clumsy, cowardly.... Although its intent is to help us succeed, the harsh self talk of our critic just serves to drain our energy and lower our morale and immune system.

To defuse the inner critic, we need to recognize when the critic is speaking. We need to know that this voice does not necessarily speak for who we really are. This is an old pattern that may no longer be serving us. We want to open to the possibility that the words are not likely true. We can ask ourselves, "Are these words helpful?"

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

-- Eleanor Roosevelt

"Abilities wither under faultfinding, blossom with encouragement."

-- Donald A. Laird

"Never react emotionally to criticism. Analyze yourself to determine whether it is justified. If it is, correct yourself. Otherwise, go on about your business."

-- Norman Vincent Peale

Trust Yourself

2011-06-20T17:56:00.001-04:00

"I never know what the next lesson is going to be, because we�re not supposed to know; we�re supposed to trust ourselves to discover it."

-- Melody Beattie

How deeply do you trust your own guidance?

Always trust that you know what's best for you. To move forward in your life, gather information from the 'experts,' consider how their advice relates to your situation and then act only on what feels right for you. What does your whole being (mind, body and soul) say �Yes!� to?

You are the only expert for your own life.

"I trust so much in the power of the heart and the soul; I know that the answer to what we need to do next is in our own hearts. All we have to do is listen, then take that one step further and trust what we hear. We will be taught what we need to learn."

-- Melody Beattie

"Ultimately, we must learn to trust ourselves. When we do this intimately and intelligently, the world opens full of meaning before us. We find that we ourselves are the doorway to a fathomless understanding of the source of life itself. We need only to learn to walk through it."

-- James Thornton

Who are you, REALLY? To truly know yourself, you need to explore your subconscious mind. All of the online programs and resources at Higher Awareness will help you reveal and release the subconscious beliefs that sabotage your highest intentions. So much support for only $19/month!

Step Into Self-Awareness

2011-06-20T11:52:00.001-04:00

"Getting in touch with your true self must be your first priority."

-- Tom Hopkins

Here are some different aspects of self-awareness:

- Know yourself - Explore who you are: your defences, your blocks, your talents, your aspirations, etc.
- Accept yourself - We are at war with ourselves when we resist or deny certain aspects of who we are. Acknowledge the truth of who you are right now - the positives and the negatives. Only when we own our present reality can we change.
- Control yourself - Set clear, conscious intentions and discipline yourself to meet them.
- Express yourself - Go to your heart to identify what has meaning and purpose for you. Live your truth. Identify ways you can give back to life and be in service.

We work on each of these aspects all the time. But as our lives go through cycles, we predominantly work on one of them more than the others. Which aspect are you more conscious of lately?

"Our lives improve only when we take chances ... and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves."

-- Walter Anderson

"Adventure can be an end in itself. Self-discovery is the secret ingredient that fuels daring."

-- Grace Lichtenstein

We Project Our Strengths

2011-06-19T22:41:00.003-04:00

"Any situation that you find yourself in, is an outward reflection of your inner state of beingness."

-- El Morya

We have discussed that OUR WORLD MIRRORS WHO WE ARE BACK TO US. When we get upset by something outside of us, our reaction shows us that we have an inner wound to be healed.

Just as we can be unconscious of our wounds, we can also be unconscious of our strengths. If you are really drawn to the positive qualities in another person, you are being invited to own those same qualities in yourself.

"The people we are in relationship with are always a mirror, reflecting our own beliefs, and simultaneously we are mirrors reflecting their beliefs. So relationship is one of the most powerful tools for growth... if we look honestly at our relationships we can see so much about how we have created them."

-- Shakti Gawain

"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures."

-- Henry Ward Beecher

Watch yourself shift from the self-centered, controlling behaviours of the ego to the power, love and wisdom of the soul with our GROW Yourself Program.

Practice Detachment

2011-06-19T19:48:00.001-04:00

As our consciousness rises, our perspective becomes more and more impersonal. What does this mean?

It means we are increasingly able to view our lives and the rest of the world with detachment. This does not mean we are cold and uncaring. Rather, we are self-contained. We have well-defined boundaries and we are able to think and act objectively, clearly and responsibly.

When we have learned detachment, we do not get hooked into the thoughts and feelings of others. We are not easily upset or manipulated. We may feel compassion for others but this does not cloud our ability to choose how we think, feel and behave. We also do not need others to behave in any particular way.

"Until we take how we see ourselves (and how we see others) into account, we will be unable to understand how others see and feel about themselves and their world. Unaware, we will project our intentions on their behavior and call ourselves objective."

-- Stephen Covey

Learn how Journaling is a powerful tool for being more objective and detached. Access your own inner wisdom by tapping into your subconscious and intuition. Release stress, blocks and negative emotions, and spark imagination and greater vision. Go deeper� Reach higher with our Journaling for Self-Empowerment e-book.

Looking For Safety

2011-06-19T13:45:00.001-04:00

"Security is when everything is settled, when nothing can happen to you; security is the denial of life."

-- Germaine Greer

Our personality likes to be in control. It likes to know how things are and what�s going to happen. Underlying this desire for stability and predictability is a deep fear that the world is a dangerous place. The personality fears it will not survive without continually being on guard.

The truth is: we cannot control what happens in life. And under the natural law of attraction, we tend to attract to us what we focus on. EXPLORE SUBSTITUTING TRUST FOR FEAR and the world becomes a gentler, happier place.

"There are no guarantees. From the viewpoint of fear, none are strong enough. From the viewpoint of love, none are necessary."

-- Emmanuel

"One thing we can do is make the choice to view the world in a healthy way. We can choose to see the world as safe with only moments of danger rather than seeing the world as dangerous with only moments of safety."

-- Deepak Chopra

5 steps to self-actualization

2011-06-18T21:31:00.003-04:00

"Every human action, whether it has become positive or negative, must depend on motivation."

-- Dalai Lama

Monitoring what motivates me has helped me see how I am growing. I do things for different reasons now than I did 10 years ago. As we pay ongoing attention to our motives, we can see how both our conscious and unconscious attitudes are changing.

Here are some ways that our motives can shift with rising consciousness:

- I desire
- I want to collect things
- I want to know
- I want to serve
- I want to be

What are your motives as you participate in life?

"There are three kinds of people and three kinds of richness:
- people who want to have, to collect
- people who want action, work and labor
- people who want to be
The real richness is in be-ness. People can take all that you have, all that you collected. People can stop your labor, or an accident can stop you. When you are, you never lose what you are."

-- Torkom Saraydarian

"You are what you think. You are what you go for. You are what you do!"

-- Bob Richards

"A good intention clothes itself with power."

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Support Others With Your Presence

2011-06-18T13:27:00.000-04:00

"The purpose of therapy is not to remove suffering but TO MOVE THROUGH IT to an enlarged consciousness that can sustain the polarity of painful opposites."

-- James Hollis

How do we support others who are suffering?

When we understand how soul works through us, we begin to see how pain generates the impulse to change. We see that our aim in supporting someone is NOT to get rid of their pain and suffering. Instead, we want to assist them to understand what the pain is trying to teach them -- to find meaning in their distress.

Often, all we need do is be fully present to them. It also helps to be present to our own experience and genuine in our feelings. Living our own truth helps create the space for the other person to live theirs.

"The First Duty Of Love Is To Listen"

-- Paul Tillich

"With the gift of listening comes the gift of healing."

What Is Your Destiny?

2011-06-17T09:35:00.000-04:00

"The significant business of your life is alive and well, awaiting discovery, within your very soul. You and I were born to come into ourselves as complete and distinctive persons. Accepting this, we build a valuable life."

-- Marsha Sinetar

What is the significant business of your life? What is your purpose? Andrew Schneider says that purpose "is more than just having a direction. It is about one's place in the universe. It is the journey of finding that place and being there and living fully whatever that place is. It is your own unique place that nobody else has, had, or will have."

How would you describe your place in the universe?

"We become powerful in the face of our fears when we have a sense that we make a difference in this world. Affirmations of purpose communicate the truth that we are all meaningful participants in this Universe and that we are worthy of giving and receiving love. Some affirmations of purpose are:
- I know that I count and I act as though I do.
- I spread warmth and love everywhere I go.
- I am a healing force in the Universe."

-- Susan Jeffers

"The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."

-- Joseph Addison

Words of Inspiration Today To Help On Your Journey

2011-06-15T09:48:00.000-04:00

Believe that problems do have answers.
Believe that they can be overcome.
Believe that they can be handled.
And finally, believe that you can solve them.”
~ Norman Vincent Peale ~

Our greatest personal growth comes from shining light on our unconscious shadows.
Unconscious blocks (repressed emotions, inner wounds, limiting beliefs, unexpressed grief, etc.) are unseen but they seriously interfere with our satisfaction with life.

If we want to be happier and more confident, we need to reveal the unconscious shadows that are holding us back. It is only when we are conscious of our subconscious programs that we hold the power to release them.

How do we become conscious of what is now unconscious? We can use questions to unlock subconscious secrets.

Ask yourself the Smart Questions below. For each of your answers, dig deeper to uncover any limiting beliefs that keep you from growing and enjoying your life.

When I am stuck in a situation, what excuses do I make to defend myself?
What are my pet peeves, dislikes and hates? What situations evoke strong emotional reactions in me?
What stresses me?
What drains my energy?
What challenges me in life right now?
What desired results are not showing up in my life? Where are my efforts not paying off?
How do I sabotage myself?
Who and what do I blame for my problems, e.g., family members, boss or co-workers, economy, government, nature, life, God ...?
What am I afraid of?
What limits me from experiencing freedom and fulfillment in my life?
Review your answers and your insights into the limiting beliefs that are holding you back. Pick one of the most problematic beliefs and set an intention to become aware whenever it shows up. Plan and implement strategies that will support you in releasing it.

This is just one of 12 new sets of questions added to the Smart Questions resources on the Higher Awareness website. Check out our Smart Questions on Best Questions to Ask Yourself, Healing, Stress Reduction, Empowerment, Life Purpose, Higher Level Thinking, Creativity, Conversation Starters and Good Interview Questions.

Shifting Consciousness

2011-05-30T11:16:00.000-04:00

Shifting consciousness

"The world we are experiencing today is the result of our collective consciousness, and if we want a new world, each of us must start taking responsibility for helping create it."

-- Rosemary Fillmore Rhea

Below are 7 levels of consciousness that clearly outline a path for our evolving consciousness:

- tribal and mass consciousness - one obeys the group and lives by trial and error
- individual consciousness - one develops a stronger sense of self and ego
- seeker�s consciousness - one asks questions and seeks independence
- intuitive consciousness - one develops the heart and is becoming spiritually aware
- group consciousness - one serves a higher good filling the needs of others
- soul consciousness - one experiences spiritual service.

On which level do you spend most of your time? What are you doing to shift to the next level of being?

There are as many paths to understanding, awareness, peace, freedom, love and meaningful service as there are people. Enjoy your journey!

"Consciousness is not just some by-product of the human brain mass. Consciousness is all pervasive. It is in everything and is everywhere. Your individual human consciousness exists within and is a part of a universal consciousness."

-- Delfin Knowledge System

"God acts in history: that is, God provides ideas, methods, and experiences intended to bring comprehension to man, an understanding heart, a conscious life."

-- Jacob Needleman

"Everything seeks its source."

-- a universal principle

Our spiritual journey unfolds through 2 stages.

1. THE PATH OF PERSONALITY - We arise from the one source of all, to be born as individuals in a world of form. In this physical world, we experience separation and limitation. This is a time of immersion in a world of effects, form, ego, distortion, illusion and pain.

2. THE PATH OF SOUL - When we have experienced enough pain, we find our way back home to our spiritual source. We let go of the illusion of separation to embrace unity and wholeness. We work with cause instead of effects. Paradoxically, it's only with a strong and healthy personality that we become capable of expressing soul.

WHERE ARE YOU ON YOUR PATH? Are you struggling to do more and have more? Are you aware of your soul challenging you to open to the bigger picture of life?

"Two people have been living in you all your life. One is the ego, garrulous, demanding, hysterical, calculating; the other is the hidden spiritual being, whose still voice of wisdom you have only rarely heard or attended to - you have uncovered in yourself your own wise guide."

-- Sogyal Rinpoche

Watch yourself shift from the self-centred, controlling behaviours of the ego to the power, love and wisdom of the soul with our Grow Yourself Program.

Know Yourself

2011-05-17T12:58:00.000-04:00

"What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself."

-- Abraham H. Maslow

STOP AND PAY ATTENTION! Set an intention to be more aware. Become a watcher, of yourself and what's around you. Develop the witness, the part of you that can step back from life and impartially observe how you react and think and feel. We learn so much about who we are!

"Knowing others is wisdom; knowing the self is enlightenment."

-- Tao Te Ching

"The true profession of man is to find his way to himself."

-- Hermann Hesse

Stay Positive At All Times

2011-05-17T08:44:00.000-04:00

Stay Positive At All Times With Subliminal MP3s

Having a positive mind-set is really important in life. People who are positive get a lot more out of their lives, they catch the attention of other people with similar attitudes, they enjoy themselves much more, they look on the bright part of life, and so they attract more positive experiences - positive thinking really does attract more positivity.

If you're able to think positively throughout difficult situations then this will not simply increase your mood, but it will also help transform your life - you could for instance see an opportunity when many people see a disaster, and it is usually people who are massively successful regardless of whether in work who see the opportunity in a problem, or the benefits in a negative situation.

Where a lot of people crumble, these people think positively and achieve success.

Some people apparently employ a natural ability to think positively. They do not ever seem to get upset, they pick themselves up after a fall right away, and at the very worst they seem to accept an undesirable experience and grow from it instead of letting it continue to adversely affect them.

You might wonder exactly how this is possible, you may admire them, or be jealous of their ability to do this. In fact they're simply no different to anyone else. The only thing that differs is within their mind; the way they think, as well as the way they look at life. This isn't an inbuilt ability, but is something which any of us can change.

These people have naturally developed positive thinking tendencies over many years - perhaps due to early positive experiences in their childhood for example. They've naturally developed this ability, but you can learn it the same.

This is where subliminal audio will come in helpful.

Subliminal downloads are increasing in popularity because of their capacity to target the subconscious mind and swap limiting and adverse beliefs. This occurs steadily and naturally, and results in you taking on the kinds of thought patterns shared by "naturally" positive people.

Why not get started and re-shape your mind right now using this develop a positive attitude album - or if you're unfamiliar with subliminal messaging you can try it for free:
