Jim Rohn, Where Do You Go For Your Intellectual Feast? - Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:31:32 +0100

Pity the man who has a favorite restaurant, but not a favorite author. He's picked out a favorite place to feed his body, but he doesn't have a favorite place to feed his mind!

Annie Burnside, Compassion and the Family - Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:28:08 +0100

As we leave another holiday season, a time of much giving and receiving behind us and enter a brand new year, it is vitally important that we seek to deepen our family's understanding and outpouring of compassion.

Guy Finley, Learn to See What's Right Before You - Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:27:36 +0100

When we do finally learn the lesson, it isn't that the lesson wasn't always there, but that somehow we had been looking somewhere else. All of our lessons are never not evident... what's missing is something in us that is able to perceive these lessons.

Chuck Gallozzi, Give H.O.P.E. and H.elp O.ther P.eople E.njoy life - Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:26:40 +0100

Once again it is that time of year when we think about gift giving. Holiday decorations, joyful music, and smiling faces create an atmosphere of happiness.

Beca Lewis, Love Knows - Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:26:08 +0100

As my granddaughter nimbly climbed up onto the counter to open a cupboard I asked her if she was allowed to do that. Her answer, "But Mom doesn't know." When I asked her if that was a safe thing to do her answer was, "I am very careful with myself."

Steve Wickham, You Tell Me - What Was It Like for You? - Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:25:37 +0100

How can we possibly tell what the truth is so far as our relationships and performance outcomes are concerned when we only see one shallow fraction of reality - our own? We are best to seek feedback to augment our truth.

Andrew Weil, The Worst Health Habits? - Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:25:06 +0100

Question: If you had to give up one bad habit, what would it be? Can you rank the worst habits in order of how bad they are: smoking, stress, drinking, drugs, not enough sleep, not exercising, not flossing?

Nishanth Reddy, Tips for a Healthy and Shining Skin - Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:23:59 +0100

Water has long been considered as the most efficient natural treatment or an almost free treatment for any skin condition because of its being alkaline, with pH 7.3. It prevents dehydration which is capable of producing sebum or oil from the sebaceous glands.

Peter Shepherd, Crisis and Alignment - Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:23:19 +0100

Does the Law of Attraction have a role to play in the resolution of ecological and financial crises worldwide? A friend pointed out to me: "I don't know if there will be some help from spiritual forces to help us make it through this time of human crisis, or if they are leaving us alone to see if we can make it from awakening after facing the truth."

Warren Wojnowski, Essential Law of Attraction Lessons From Wallace Wattles - Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:22:43 +0100

In his book The Science of Getting Rich, Wallace Wattles lays out the formula by which any of us can put the "science" of law of attraction to work for ourselves and become rich and prosperous.

Marlene Buffa, A Year of Discovery - Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:21:56 +0100

When the clock struck midnight at the end of December 31st, we realized that even though we may not want to move forward into the New Year, we ran out of the old year. The end of the road. It's done, it's over, it's gone.

Philip Humbert, I've Had It With Gloom and Doom! - Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:21:11 +0100

Back in 1979, President Carter delivered what became known as his Malaise Speech. He listed the discouraging trends and negative beliefs and low expectations that were afflicting America. It was pretty disheartening!

Rob McBride, Masks - Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:20:35 +0100

During the first months of our lives, those who surround us love us for who we are. When we are first born, we bring smiles and understanding. Even when we cry, people love us and know we cry not for attention, rather for good reason.

Alan Zimmerman, Five Ways People Screw Up Their Lives - Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:19:54 +0100

Life itself is a fairly neutral process. It does not pre-select some people for success and others for failure. It does not pre-determine who will be rich and who will poor. And it does not pre-destine some people to a life of happiness while it leaves others stuck with a life of sadness.

Debbie Pincus, Dealing with Your Child's Temper Tantrums - Wed, 05 Jan 2011 11:15:49 +0100

Why are temper tantrums so difficult for parents to handle? Besides the fact that they're loud, annoying and embarrassing, we often feel it's our job requirement to make our kids act the way we feel they should behave. If we can't do that, we feel ineffective.

Doris Jeanette, Heart to Heart Coaching - Tue, 21 Dec 2010 11:03:56 +0100

Coach Doris Jeanette, replies to the question:
I feel like someone or something inside me wants to cause me pain or hurt me.

Rashmi Khilnani, Silence - Tue, 21 Dec 2010 11:02:38 +0100

Silence and time alone are great qualities to assist you into a manifest space of peace and serenity. It is very difficult for you to do this until you switch off your mobile phones, computers, TVs, and so on. It is a good idea to get out of the habit of always using your car and to learn to walk or cycle instead.

Florence Scovel Shinn, The Game of Life - Tue, 21 Dec 2010 11:01:19 +0100

Most people consider life a battle -- but it is not a battle, it is a game.It is a game, however, which cannot be played successfully without the knowledge of spiritual law, and the Old and the New Testaments give the rules of the game with wonderful clearness.

Steve Wickham, Never Explain, Never Complain - Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:59:42 +0100

For direction in life and purpose to meet all the wiles that inevitably come, the four-worded title above—one which is attributed to both Henry Ford II and Benjamin Disraeli—is quite a boon for wisdom that can only benefit us.

Beca Lewis, The Squirrel and Two Power Cords - Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:58:31 +0100

I have a squirrel friend who must know the spiritual law, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." Perhaps squirrels automatically teach it to their children and perhaps in a squirrel family it is actually believed and acted upon.

Chuck Gallozzi, Thought Power - Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:57:40 +0100

What do you think about thinking? Most of us probably think we do a lot of it, but we don't. True, for most of us, there is an endless stream of chatter drifting through our consciousness. But self-talk isn't thinking. It's just commentary.

Guy Finley, The Secret of Soul-Remembering - Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:56:31 +0100

Have you ever fought over a parking place? Have you ever jumped up to make a phone call to straighten someone out? Have you ever snapped at a family member? These are moments when you sell your soul.

Nick Mutt, Do You Know the Natural Remedies for Depression? - Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:55:11 +0100

Ken Munro, We Must Love People Back to Health - Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:53:54 +0100

We must love people back to health. We must address all the needs of the entire patient - love, faith, sense of purpose, etc., and not just his/her disease. In the words of Dr. Jerome D. Frank, American psychiatrist: "Any treatment that does not minister to the human spirit is grossly deficient."

Lori Radun, Forgiveness - Breaking the Cycle of Resentment - Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:52:18 +0100

Over 20 years ago, my mother disowned me for a period of 10 years of my life. It wasn't something I could ever imagine doing to one of my children, but it happened. It was one of the most painful times of my life. I was angry at her.

Karla Brandau, Wrap Up Forgiveness and Feel the Love! - Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:50:55 +0100

As you wrap 2010 and wrap up your gifts this holiday season, wrap up something that costs absolutely nothing but gives you high dividends in relationships: Wrap up forgiveness.

Karen Wright, I Will - Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:48:45 +0100

We use the word "will" often every day. But, what does it mean? The dictionary says that will is an auxiliary verb - an extra verb that's followed by the REAL action in the sentence. I will get more sleep, I will go shopping, I will see you tonight. I will achieve my goals.

C. Lynn Beebe, Gain Control Over Holiday Stress - Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:47:19 +0100

The holiday season is upon us. Does that statement make you jump for joy or wish you could hide under the covers for the next month or so? Holiday stress is an unwelcome visitor that plagues far too many people each year.

Gabriella Kortsch, Companions That Shape Your Life - Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:45:24 +0100

John was recently told he has a tumor. Malignant or benign, he will not know for about three weeks, after a series of tests and the results that they offer. Marguerite was taking her husband's suits to the cleaners and found a hand-written note — not his handwriting — in the breast pocket of one of the jackets: Your love makes life worth living.

Linda Sapadin, The Art of Asking - Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:42:49 +0100

What does that really mean? How important is personal freedom to each and every one of us? How many of us are stuck in feeling some sort of guilt, shame or embarrassment?

Phil Evans, Time for Some Personal Freedom? - Mon, 20 Dec 2010 19:10:47 +0100

What does that really mean? How important is personal freedom to each and every one of us? How many of us are stuck in feeling some sort of guilt, shame or embarrassment?

Carolyn Evers, Going Within, part four - Mon, 20 Dec 2010 18:24:22 +0100

I believe that observation is our teacher for factual information, along with emotional growth and development. If you pass a field of flowers and you are caught up in other thoughts, the flowers might not come into your awareness. However if you become aware of them, you might notice colors of yellow in varying shapes, some of them you haven't noticed before.

Doris Jeanette, Heart to Heart Coaching - Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:21:55 +0100

I have been depressed and confused for many years and need guidance to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Margie Worrell, Are Your Habits Helping or Hindering? - Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:17:12 +0100

Every morning I start my day with a big cup of Earl Grey tea, milk and two sugars. It's become a well-worn ritual that dates back to my days in high school. And while it may not be the most ideal kick-start to my day, it works for me.

Joyce Shafer, Do You Focus on the Opposite of What You Desire? - Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:15:07 +0100

Focusing on the opposite of what you desire is like aiming at a tree rather than at the target then feeling frustrated that you did not hit the bulls-eye. You know, we all do this at times.

Stefanie Miller, True Confessions of a Reformed White Knuckler - Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:08:02 +0100

These are the true confessions of a reformed white knuckler. I've had to pry my clammy little fingers off of the control I'm trying to maintain over issues that I just basically can do nothing about in the present moment. I have to come clean and take responsibility for it.

Kevin Ngo, The Importance of Motivation - Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:05:52 +0100

What is the importance of motivation when it comes to your personal life as well as the workplace? Well, unless if you don't have goals go work on and tasks to complete, motivation is quite worthless.

Philip Humbert, How to Stay Motivated, All the Time! - Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:04:39 +0100

The most common problem people talk about when they request coaching is staying motivated. Sometimes they talk about losing focus, being discouraged, having too much to do, or procrastination, but what it boils down to is that they aren't achieving as much as they would like.

Alan Zimmerman, Motivation is an Inside Job - Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:03:20 +0100

No one is 100% motivated 100% of the time. We all need to be re-inspired and re-motivated once in a while. And there are two ways to get that extra dose of motivation: One, depend on other people. Other people can certainly help you get the motivation you need.

Willem Lammers & Andrea Fredi, Energy and Essence - Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:01:22 +0100

We are a body, a physical body with the needs of the physical world... eating, drinking, belonging, avoiding danger, and desiring to reproduce. Through our senses, we collect information from the environment and react to it. Our body is dedicated to biological survival.

Vreni Gurd, Exercise and Learning - Tue, 14 Dec 2010 11:59:01 +0100

CBC news (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) put out a very interesting story about City Park High School in Saskatoon, that put treadmills and exercise bikes into a math classroom, and before doing any math, the kids strapped on their heart-rate monitors and did 20 minutes of moderate intensity cardiovascular exercise. This is an alternative school for those with learning difficulties, and over half the students have ADHD.

Steve Wickham, Succeeding and Surviving in a Stupid World - Tue, 14 Dec 2010 11:57:21 +0100

Don't expect to succeed in this life by the conventional way. Don't even expect to succeed in this life by the unconventional way. Success in this life is often more about chance, luck and circumstance than anything else - this is because our worlds are so very often ruled by 'wise' men and women.

Beca Lewis, Unsolvable Illusions - Tue, 14 Dec 2010 11:56:22 +0100

Once in a while it hits me. Life is simple, we make it complicated, and then I forget, and make it complicated again. But in those brief shining moments it is brilliantly evident that what we know and experience is all perception and that the answer to everything lies in this premise.

Chuck Gallozzi, It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves - Tue, 14 Dec 2010 11:55:21 +0100

A 34-year-old Indian man, married and the father of two sons has a couple of questions. Rather than use his real name, I will call him Bali, which is an Indian name meaning Powerful or Brave. He asks about destiny.

Guy Finley, The Great Balancing Act: Living In and Between Two Worlds - Tue, 14 Dec 2010 11:54:10 +0100

I receive many questions concerning how to achieve a proper balance between physical and spiritual longings; how much time should be spent working on one's higher, interior life, versus running around and doing what life demands as a result of being in this world.

Jenny Smedley, Soul Angels - Tue, 14 Dec 2010 11:51:59 +0100

We are here to take part in the evolution of angels by allowing our souls, which are a part of them, to experience that which can only be experienced in a physical body. We are here to take steps in the journey towards divinity, and each lifetime is one step.

Eldon Taylor, Bad-luck fortune-cookie collectors - Tue, 14 Dec 2010 11:49:58 +0100

There are those who cling to their "right" to blame. I have a friend in South Africa who is a lie detection examiner. He has a model I like. He calls it something else, but we'll call it the "bad-luck fortune cookies" game. So, this is the story of these special cookie collectors.

Doris Jeanette, Heart to Heart Coaching - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:21:57 +0100

Coach Doris Jeanette, replies to the question:
I am not as affectionate as I ought to be, even with my children. How do I break down this wall?

Connie Joy, Tragedy in Sedona - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:21:15 +0100

It was October 8, 2009 when the first 911 call came in alerting emergency personnel that a tragedy was unfolding at the Angel Lodge Retreat Center only a few miles from Sedona. During a Sweat Lodge ceremony, facilitated by self-help guru James Arthur Ray as part of the Spiritual Warrior program, something went horribly wrong. Two people, Kirby Brown and James Shore died at the scene. Nineteen others were transported to various hospitals, including Liz Neuman, who would die nine days later from injuries sustained during the Sweat Lodge ceremony.

Peter Shepherd, Find Thoughtful, Inexpensive Presents this Christmas - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:20:42 +0100

You need look no further. Here at Trans4mind we are giving you the opportunity to put a little bit of that old fashioned quality into gifts for those you love.

Guy Finley, Break Through the Illusion of Limitation - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:20:09 +0100

Here’s a strange paradox of the upward path that runs through Real Life: the more conscious we become of what limits us, the more limitless becomes our reality! So, take as long as you need to understand the following special lesson; it sheds much needed light on a certain dark state that stands between us, and the higher freedom for which we long.

Chuck Gallozzi, The Little Things We Do - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:19:22 +0100

What's the difference between one second and 4/10th's of a second? Not very much. It's just 6/10th's of a second. Wouldn't you agree that's a SMALL difference? Yet, that small difference was all it took to change our beliefs on what is possible.

Beca Lewis, Look Differently - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:18:50 +0100

Glancing out the window I looked a few yards further out than I normally do and realized, “Hey, I can see in the window of the Vet’s office.” It took me almost two years to notice this fact. I took a longer, wider view and saw something that had always been there.

Steve Wickham, A Healthy Respect for Reality - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:18:13 +0100

Lee Blackm, Detoxifying the Body For Health and Immunity - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:17:31 +0100

Laura M. Turner, Identifying Your Wellness Potential - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:16:58 +0100

Each day, are you becoming more of yourself? At first an awkward question. Yet, as I continue to read and discover more about the mind/body model of wellness, it appears the pursuit of being "well" expands as we continue on the road to self-wholeness. Think of it this way, according to the mind/body model of wellness, we are in a constant process of becoming "whole" as we learn to become more and more of ourselves.

Alan Zimmerman, How to Release the Power of Gratitude - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:16:25 +0100

"If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul." ~Rabbi Harold Kushner
Kushner is right ... so right. I learned that lesson way back in the 70's, when my mother died very unexpectedly at a very young age. And I learned that lesson when my wife left me a few days later ... not to mention my father losing his job, other close relatives dying, and my finances under assault ... all within the next few weeks.

Tim Ong, Three Ways to Practice Gratitude - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:15:48 +0100

Gratitude is a powerful positive emotion that generates a feeling of blessedness and contentment.

Thus, according to the Law of Attraction, a sense of gratitude attracts into your life more experience and opportunities for abundance and good fortune.

Gabrielle Kortsch, Could Super Achievers Be Driven by Low Self-Esteem? - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:15:10 +0100

A super achiever with low self esteem? Sounds more like an oxymoron than anything else. And yet if we take a closer look at what drives the super achiever, we may find precisely a lack of appreciation and recognition of value of the self.

John Robert Crawford, The Incredible Power of Choice - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:14:41 +0100

Eileen McDargh, Resiliency Lessons From The Chilean Mine Triumph - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:14:09 +0100

A worldwide web of viewers watched 33 miners being pulled to the surface following a 600,000 ton cave-in that happened nearly one-half mile below the ground on a barren plain in southern Chile.

I don't relate to people and they turn on me. What lesson can I learn from this painful experience?

Miles Murphy, Why did the Buddha Cross the Road? - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:12:20 +0100

Q: What did a Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor? A: Make me one with everything. We don't often associate Buddhism with humour. After all, the principal teaching of Buddhism is suffering, and, at first glance, suffering seems antithetical to humour.

Beca Lewis, What A Difference A Perception Makes - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:11:47 +0100

Once I had a little yard that was filled with weeds. I couldn't find time in my day to weed the yard so it got worse and worse.' One day without thinking, I bent down as I walked to the car and pulled a weed.' On the way back into the house, I pulled a few more.' Within a few weeks, my yard was free of weeds. One weed at a time made a difference.

Chuck Gallozzi, A Yearning for Learning - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:11:12 +0100

We have a natural yearning for learning. Infants have an insatiable hunger, responding to each sight, sound, smell, taste, and tactile experience with curiosity. As toddlers, they roam everywhere, soaking in as much information as possible in their attempts to discover the nature of the world.

Laura M. Turner, Green Tea: Help Or Hype? - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:10:23 +0100

Louise and George Altman, Why is Handling Conflict So HARD? - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:09:45 +0100

Guy Finley, New Powers to Help You Perfect Your Relationships - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:09:13 +0100

There is always a moment before a problem starts with another human being where we realize that what we want is not going to happen. Ordinarily we'll say the other person is about to "ruin my day." But there is, for those of us who want to understand, not only a way for our day not to be ruined, but a way for us to elevate both ourselves and the other person, or at least give them the opportunity to change their lives as well our own.

Pam Garcy, Part 7, Choose Your Attitude - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:08:39 +0100

The word attitude is used to describe how your beliefs, feelings, values and actions combine to create outcomes. Often, we have the opportunity to choose our attitude. Other times, our attitude is the result of a psychiatric condition.

Robert Darby, The Unruly Mind - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:08:10 +0100

Learning how to free ourselves from the tyranny of the unruly mind is not easy. Most of us have been the victims of the chaos of our own mind for so long that we don't even recognize that there is a need to do anything about it. What problem?

Jahiel Yasha Kamhi, What is above our genes? - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:07:35 +0100

When I was at the university, our education included genetics, the science which taught heredity and variation in organisms. We learned that our genes control our life: Our bodies and our behaviour are pre-determined in our genes. For many years this was the dogma (a truth without proof), and nobody challenged the validity of this fact. The only problem with this "fact" is that it is no longer scientifically correct!

Linda Sapadin, Type A Worriers - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:07:01 +0100

Are you a Type A Worrier? Not sure? To find out, answer these questions.
Do you have difficulty relaxing?

The Eternal presence is everywhere. It is in the air. It is in the trees, the oceans, the rivers and everywhere you look. But not only is it in the physical world outside of you, it is also within you. You may wonder where I could find it within me. Is it in my mind? Is it in my body somewhere?

Steve Wickham, Becoming Truly Great -- Become Smaller - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:05:41 +0100

John's rejection of greatness was at the same time an attraction of greatness. One of my little anthems relates to greatness - personal and interpersonal greatness - and that, for everyone around me who wants it. It's a beautiful concept.

Anne Hartley, Letting Go of Fear - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:05:05 +0100

I was woken from a deep sleep by blood curdling screams. I knew the screams weren't human and my first thought was that possums were fighting outside my bedroom window. As I lay in the dark trying to work out where the screams were coming from two of my cats ran into the bedroom and circled my suitcase, which I'd left lying on the floor the night before. My heart started pounding and I felt real fear thinking a rat, or something worse, was lurking in my bedroom.

Carolyn Evers, Going Within, Part Three - Wed, 08 Dec 2010 18:04:18 +0100

There is much more to Jeshua's teachings than we perhaps understand. We have the ability to connect with all consciousness whether it is a star, grass, a tree, the Masters, or Prime Creator. We have the ability to stretch our consciousness throughout the entire cosmos and bring back the information that resides there.

Doris Jeanette, Heart to Heart Coaching - Wed, 24 Nov 2010 15:33:47 +0100

I am soft, polite and not so fashionable. What should I do to boost my confidence?

Brian Tracy, Unlocking Your Creativity - Wed, 24 Nov 2010 15:32:39 +0100

abracad, A Rational-Intuitive Decision Making Model - Wed, 24 Nov 2010 15:31:55 +0100

Making decisions is often one of the toughest challenges we face as human beings. And yet having the ability to decide is one of our greatest causes to rejoice, since it proves we are more than mere automata controlled rigidly by inflexible physical laws.

Beca Lewis, See What You Perceive - Wed, 24 Nov 2010 15:29:54 +0100

I kept looking but I couldn't see him. Del told me that he was running the stairs. I would jog by where he said he was, not see him, and run home thinking I must have missed him.  But, every day he would come back and say "I saw you!"

Pam Garcy, Part 6. The path of apparent least resistance - Wed, 24 Nov 2010 15:24:59 +0100
