How can we develop a trust in ourselves, in our heart and in our intuition? How can we develop our intuition, so that it becomes a source of love, truth and wisdom in therapeutic work? How can we be in contact with the Whole through our intuition?
What is intuition?
Intuition is our true inner voice, our constant available inner source of love, truth and wisdom, and the silent voice of Existence within ourselves. Through our intuition, we are in contact with the Whole. Intuition is the voice of the heart. Intuition is our inner teacher and guide. Intuition means to learn to listen to the silent whisperings of our heart.
Intuition is a 'yes' to life. Intuition is to develop a trust in life. Intuition is learning to listen to life. Intuition is to be in contact with the Whole. Intuition means to follow the whispers of the inner in a basic 'yes' to life. When we allow ourselves to follow the silent whisperings of intuition, the fragrance of love arises.
Through following our own heart, we also help others to follow their own heart. Through following our own truth, we also help others to follow their own truth. Intuition is the voice of our inner being. Intuition is the voice of Existence within ourselves. Through listening to the intuition, we are in contact with the Whole.
A result of following our intuition is a deep feeling of joy, a sense of meaning and an inner satisfaction. To follow the silent voice of intuition is to surrender to Existence. Intuition is already in contact with Existence, with that which is larger than ourselves. When we live in contact with Existence, life becomes immensely satisfying. Intuition is a trust that if we follow our heart, the Whole becomes enriched.
INTUITION EXERCISES
Exercise 1: From intellect to intuition - This is an exercise, which aims on learning to distinguish between intellect and intuition. Take as a continuous meditation to learn to distinguish between the intellect, between our ideas of how things should be, and intuition, our true inner voice, to learn to distinguish between the false and the real, between the true and the artificial.
Exercise 2: Learning to distinguish between listening to the intuition and to be directed by outer forces - This is an exercise that aims at learning to be aware when you allow yourselves to be directed by outer forces and when you allow yourself to listen to your intuition. Be continuously aware in different situations between when you allow yourself to be directed by other people's ideas, opinions and expectations and when you allow yourself to be guided from within by listening to your own intuition, to your own true inner voice, to your own inner source of love, truth and wisdom, to Existence within yourself.
Exercise 3: To invite guidance - When you are in a cross road in life or in situations when you need guidance, take as a conscious exercise to ask you intuition a question and ask for guidance and clarity. The answer may not come directly, but you will always receive an answer.
Exercise 4: Make a painting of intuition - This meditation aims at painting a picture in colour and form of your experience of intuition. If you do this meditation together with a partner, you can discuss your painting with your partner.
Exercise 5: Listen to your heart - To continuously be in contact with your heart and with your intuition, you can ask the following four questions in different situations for example when you have to make a choice or when you are going to take a new step:
1. Will I love myself if I do this?
2. Will I feel courageous?
3. Is it beautiful for me?
4. Can it be simplified in any way?
Exercise 6: Intuition – taking creative decisions - Intuition is about taking creative decisions. Take as an exercise to take a conscious decision during a whole day to allow your intuition, your inner source of love, trust and wisdom, to guide you through the day to take creative decisions.
Exercise 7: Making a energy reading of a partners heart in the form of a flower - This is an exercise in intuition and healing, where you sit facing a partner and make an energy reading of the partner’s heart in the form of a flower.
Begin this exercise by turning your attention within yourself and come in contact with you own heart. When you have come in contact with your own heart, begin to tune in with your partners heart and describe the partner’s heart in the form of a flower. Describe in words what kind of flower it is, the quality of the flower, the colour of the flower and the surroundings in which the flower grows.
Stay continuously in contact with your own heart during this exercise and be aware of how the contact from heart to heart plus the communication through words creates healing. When you and your partner has read each others hearts, take a moment to share how it felt to have your heart read and how the communication from heart to heart crates healing.
Exercise 8: Intuition-journal - To become more aware about how your intuition is developing, take a decision to write an intuition-journal every evening during one month. When you wake up in the morning, remember that this is a new opportunity to develop your intuition. Take a conscious decision in your heart that today you are going to be aware and to trust your intuition during all the activities of the day. Be continuously aware during the day about the difference between being in contact with yourself and your intuition and not being in contact with your intuition.
Be grateful in the evening for everything that has happened during the day, since both positive and negative experiences are teachers on the way to develop intuition. Write an intuition-journal in the evening and write shortly during 10-15 minutes about when you managed and when you did not manage to trust your intuition during the day. Do not judge and evaluate whether you managed or did not manage to trust your intuition, but let the intuition-journal be a way to simply be aware and develop your intuition.
Exercise 9: Become friends with a tree - On an unconscious level, trees are already in contact with Existence. With their roots deeply rooted in the earth and with their branches reaching towards the sky, trees have their own innate wisdom.
A meditation exercise you can do to develop your intuition is to become friends with a tree. Sit under the tree and ask the tree questions and listen within to your own intuition for the answers that you receive.
Exercise 10: To see what the Whole wants - This is an exercise to let go and to see what the Whole wants in a certain issue. When you have compared the pros and cons on a certain issue, then leave the issue to the intuition, to the inner source of love, truth and wisdom, to the voice of Existence within, and see what the Whole wants concerning this issue.
Sometimes Existence responds immediately and sometimes it takes some time before Existence is ready to respond. But you will always receive an answer in exactly the right time. Sometimes I have struggled to get something to happen, but it was first when I let go that it happened by itself. Sometimes things are not meant to happen either. It is a question of timing. It is a question of when the time is ripe. It is a question of trust to the Whole.

Physical Change and the New Light Body - There is much happening today to the physical body as a result of increased light. New and unexplainable symptoms may be appearing that had never been seen before, or that one thought were long gone. Like a pot of water that manifests bubbles on the surface as it boils, so, too, does the body rid itself of things that have been concealed below the surface, by bubbling up with the energies that need to be released.
This time of releasing within one's own body needs to be treated gently and with respect. In truth, you cannot just will the symptoms away and in some cases not even conventional forms of treatment will be effective. It is a new time, and a new body is being created for all living beings, and so that which cannot resonate with light is erupting now as physical symptoms or mental or emotional symptoms that are part of the process of becoming free.
Take the time to rest, and to treat your body gently if you are feeling a need to do so. Rest, and the drinking of pure water helps the body to release energies more easily, allowing the natural process to take its course.
The result of this time will not be more illness, but a freeing of the body to take its place as a vessel that can carry its own light and transmit it to others. This is a blessing and those who may endure a difficult process in this regard are actually helping the planet as they do so. Namaste.

Today, focus on order, beauty and cleanliness. Straighten up. Clean. Adorn. Make your home a gracious place of ease, where you can relax and be free. Come at your life from a place of worry-free joy, a place of comfort and peace, a spot of beauty you have created.
Pull out the treasures of your life and look at them, let them shine. Take the spirit of each moment of fun, love and joy, communion and wonder, and send it out to inhabit every corner of your home. Create a place of serenity that is there for you no matter what occurs outside.
Your goal today is to create an emotional center of joy and love, harmony and beauty. And to do it through your physical efforts, so that at the end of the day, you fall exhausted into a most satisfying sleep, knowing that you have used your hands and your heart most usefully, preparing the soil and guiding the water, so that the white birds flying overhead may drop their seeds of wonder into a most fertile garden, a place where the bubbling water sparkles with light and the warm, dark earth is like an embrace, where every blade of grass sings with joy as it reaches up toward the sun, where every tree hurries from seed to branch in an exuberant expression of being, excited to show its leaves and bear its fruit, where each rose laughs with pleasure at its beauty and sends its perfume out to bless the world.
And you, you are the brightest rose of all, blessed with the ability to create this world from your heart and your hands, pouring out your love of life like water, singing as you bury your hands in the soil of being. Ah, how blessed you are, how covered in grace! What joy, what joy to be you, today!

Energy in the Void:
We are going through many adjustments and reconfigurations at this time, as we assimilate the new energy. The highly sensitive ones are feeling this in a very intense way. We have been residing in the void for quite some time now. How do you know if you are currently in the void and what are its attributes? It is an in between place that we maintain, as we are finishing up a lot of the emotional, mental, spiritual and physical work we have been doing for quite some time now. You know you are in the void if you are unable to start many new projects or even finish up some of the things you already started. There are many delays and hold ups. It reminds me of a dream where you are running in place but can’t seem to get to your destination.
I don’t view the void as a negative space. It is neutral energy, unless you place a lot of expectations and demands on yourself and life. It can be very frustrating and anxiety producing. There seems to be a lot of limitation and emptiness. If you can kind of let go, go with the flow and let things unfurl in its own time and way, it would be really beneficial for your peace of mind and wellbeing. When you do get stressed, please forgive yourself and know you are doing the best you can.
In many of our relationships we feel a disconnection with others. Some connections, where we previously might have had a close bond at one time or another, feel really distant and remote. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the relationship is over for good, however, it seems that it is really difficult to connect with people. I have found it is hard to make plans that don’t get canceled, postponed or delayed. Misunderstandings, not “getting” each other, and just a plain desire not to be around other people for long periods of time has abounded.
One of the many reasons it is hard to be around other people right now is because the veil is so thin, and as we are so empathic, we pick up and absorb the energy of others to the point that it feels down right draining to be in public or around others for long periods of time. It has been so intense that trips to the mall, store or any public place causes me to feel really anxious that I rush through my shopping or really plan out what I need to get so I can get in and out quickly. There is a major incongruence between the vibrational level of many foods and products being sold at the store. We organically know what is of value to our body and soul. For the highly sensitive person, buying, using or EVEN being around things that are not purposeful or useful, causes feelings of unease.
Many sensitive’s are experiencing severe allergic reactions. Let me preface that by saying most of us are becoming or already are highly sensitive. We are chiseling through our armor and coming face to face with our most vulnerable, delicate selves. As we release the density of the our unconscious ways, gain inner awareness, forgive, love, let go, make healthier choices, etc. we are becoming lighter. Most of the new children are born without these barriers of limitation. They cannot even conceive of the way we previously lived our lives (or ran our countries).
The H1N1 virus is an example of the sensitivities we are now facing. Skin rashes, breakouts, asthma, colds, food and environmental allergies are at an all time high. We cannot ignore the need for good care and the use of quality products. We are being guided to be gentle with ourselves.
Being in this void can feel lonely at times. It can invoke feelings of frustration, dissatisfaction, impatience and just plain pure boredom, sometimes, with spurts of upheaval. You can utilize this period by trusting that this won’t last forever. Just be at peace with where you are at, remain present in the moment. Appreciate and enjoy the quiet and slower pace. We are being rewired and realigned to adapt with ease into this new energy. Many opportunities are being aligned behind the scene. It’s all in the timing!
If we try to push it quicker than it’s meant to be its like showing up a day early for a party. You’re all dressed up; all ready for a good time, knock on the door and become disappointed when no one is home to answer the door. The host/ess are out buying the finishing touches for the party. Their still in preparation mode while you think you missed the entire party, when in fact, you just happened to show up too soon! When the timing is right. Whala! It all comes together!
People, places, and things that are meant for us, will be coming into our lives shortly. We have seen and felt glimpses and glimmers of what’s to come. The most crucial thing is to stay positive and not let the frustration get you down. Remind yourself of what you are grateful and appreciative for. Take this time to catch up on your rest and focus on doing what you CAN accomplish. Enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts. Don’t be hard on yourself for not accomplishing all the things you set out to do. I swear, its like trying to move in slow motion. It takes double or triple the time to get things done that usually takes half the time. Laugh it off and don’t take yourself or life too seriously. Remember it is what is.
At this time we may be spending a lot of time alone. We may crave time to ourselves or circumstances are propelling us to be alone. It is not necessarily a reflection on our relationship with others. We need to learn to be in our own energies. We need to attune to our own vibration and know our own thoughts and feelings. It’s not just about staying away from negative people or who is of a higher or lower vibration.
It is simply about being comfortable in our own skin and appreciating our own company! It’s about allowing ourselves to be still and monitoring the amount of external stimulation we receive. It’s also about avoiding enmeshed relationships and co-dependent behaviors that cause us to lose ourselves in another (our children, parents, spouse, friends, etc. included) In order to follow our intuition and guidance we need to be tuned in. We cannot be tuned in if we are always on the go and busy.
The new energy is here and it feels different. We cannot do things the way we did in the past because things don’t work that way any longer. You probably notice that. We are in a profound time of integration. We may wish for things to speed up (and slow down at the same time) but we cannot rush the process. May I repeat myself? It is what it is!
The month of November is a month of grand openings so be ready to begin manifesting all the things you set in motion. Energetically we are focusing on relationships at this time, new connections, reconnections and realignments. We have two 11-11-11 days this month, which are 11/11/09 and 11/29/09. 11 is a number, which represents a portal or opening to change. 2009 is an eleven year, 2+9.
We’ve almost completed 2009. Give yourself a big pat on the back for rolling with the changes that have occurred all year long. Its been a bit of blur wouldn’t you say? The new energies are about being sovereign within yourself. “To thy own self be true”. Stay true to your path of opening yourself to a higher level of authenticity in your life and in how our world functions. We have to expose, and heal those areas that have been out of alignment. As we complete doing this we can put into action the creations that will benefit us.
Prayer - Dear Mother/Father, God/Goddess, I feel so alone and lonely at times. I fear that I have been forgotten and that things will never get better. I know even when I feel this way it is only my perception based on my deepest fears. I sense you beside me and your ever abiding guiding presence. Thank you for showing the way. I know in my heart that everything will work out. I know I am being prepared for grand things to come. In fact, I know that all is as it should be. Please quiet my thoughts so that as you lead the way I will be able to hear you. I am so grateful for all that I have and all that I am. And so it is. Amen.

Do you regularly feel at ease and at peace? Are you continuously overflowing with Joy and Bliss on a daily basis, such that you seem free of problems and emotional pain? If so, go directly to the comment section and share with us your secrets.
If you’re still reading, you are amongst the vast majority of us striving for a better life, yearning for a more peaceful and joyful existence. Yet, it seems like an impossible challenge, where we end up mentally punishing ourselves for failing, concluding that “I’m just not made to live in peace.”
You see, it’s not us, it’s just that we’ve become so easily distracted by the hurrying demands of modern life, that we’ve temporarily lost touch with our natural state of being. But there is a way, if we seek it.
The purpose of this article is to share a simple technique to bring more peace, joy and clarity into your life. Would you like that?
Why It’s Hard to Find Peace and Joy?
If you observe our problems, you will notice that most problems are rooted in the mind. The basic premise is the same: some external event happens, we choose to see only one side of the story, and then interpret the situation such that it causes some form of mental conflict, resulting in some form of emotional suffering.
While it is easy to simply say, “drop your problems”, you and I both know that it is not that simple. We all have had years and years of conditioning in attracting problems and conflicts. So much so, that the simple concept of ’stop thinking about problems’ will not be so effective on us. We need tools that strike at the problem’s root.
Let’s now try something. Close your eyes for about a minute (or 5 minutes), and during this minute, send out the intention that you want silence and stillness, and you do not want to be pulled away from this silence by thoughts. (Pause your reading and go do this.)
Okay, so what happened? You probably noticed that the moment you become silent, thoughts started popping up - random and unrelated thoughts. These thoughts become a form of distraction, pulling us away from our inner silence.
This was only an experiment where we consciously observed our mind and tried to become still, but could not. Imagine the state of our inner space, while we are going about our day, unaware of the polluting in-coming thoughts.
As a result, our inner space becomes cluttered with useless information, with thoughts that are not conducive to our wellbeing, with garbage. Because our inner space is cluttered, our inner clarity and in-born wisdom becomes distant and foggy. And essentially, we loose touch with that part of our inner selves that is sacred, and wise, and peaceful, and eternal.
The distractions that we’ve declared as urgent and important, such as watching TV, updating our facebook and myspace and twitter pages, checking email, gossiping on the phone, loading mp3s on our music players, etc. all pull at us. They all pull at our attention, distracting us away from the things that are truly important to us - things that will bring lasting happiness and fulfillment to our lives and the lives of others we have yet to come to know.
Whether we recognize it or not, the information that we expose ourselves to, fills our inner space on some level, and affects our emotions and desires.
And if we are not careful, we can easily rush through life, while spending our precious time on this planet focused on that which does not matter - and then wonder where did my life go? Why do I feel unsettled and easily irritated? Why do I feel unfulfilled and incomplete? And then we die wondering.
If you are here, breathing and reading this right now, then you have been blessed with this day, to wake up! Wake up and take control of your destiny, starting with what you focus on and allow into your life (regardless of your age).

by Egan Sanders -
There comes a time in an individual's spiritual evolution when every seeker/person on a spiritual or philosophical quest, must come to the realization that all higher knowledge, higher truth, and all higher wisdom can only be revealed through their own being.
We all endure periods of doubt and fear, and moments where clarity seems to elude us. At times like these, we all yearn for a hand to hold or, more often, an inner foundation to stand on -- a place within ourselves that will rise up and elevate us into a position of strength and clarity. We want our questions to be answered and our dilemmas to be resolved.
Many New Age explorers call this inner foundation the Higher-Self, or the Superconscious mind, while others refer to that well of wisdom calmly residing deep inside our minds, as the conscience, or simply the clear voice of the soul. Regardless of what name it is given, this part of the human psyche is eagerly sought after because, on a more subtle level, all humans are aware that once this inner voice is found, understood, and listened to, one can then attain great wisdom and self-mastery. Attuning to this opens the door ways to the infinite, and, when one accesses the infinite, all questions are answered, all dilemmas resolved.
Help Along The Way
Teachers can undoubtedly help you in this journey to the Higher-Self. Those in search of understanding need guides, people to appear at the right time in your growth to lead you to higher and higher levels. These guides can help you avoid the classic pitfalls in spiritual growth: illusion, doubt, and the innocence of ignorance. They can and do hurry you along through lessons that might have otherwise gotten you permanently stuck, smoothing the way with their insightful thoughts and directions. Being outside of you, they can be objective and are more readily able to see what's holding you back, or what you need to learn to quickly move on. This feedback and direction can be indispensable as long as it leads you to a greater awareness of your own power, and less and less of an attachment to the teacher as you progress. You must identify the success of your growth with your own effort and ability to be truly empowered.
Written information from books is also important. At this time in history, we are blessed with an unparalleled variety and abundance of teachings available to every member of our society. Ancient scriptures sit alongside the latest book, giving us the opportunity to look backward and forward, as well as at the most interesting period of history one can experience, current history. Books can be a wonderful foundation to build upon. The ideas of great philosophers can lift you to great heights. But why? The wisdom of these sages or beings must somehow resonate within you to truly affect and expand you. If a reader cannot relate to an idea, or recognize a virtue within themselves, then how can any knowledge be received? Written wisdom is only helpful when it leads you back to yourself. Even this article is limited unless it sparks something in the mind of you, the reader.
Direct Experience
The ultimate form of knowledge can only come from experience. What a book says, or what a teacher relates, are truly only words until an individual comes to an understanding through direct experience. Experience transcends all forms of learning because, in those precious moments, you are communing with your own higher being. It's the difference between happily admiring the Moon through a telescope in your backyard, and actually travelling to the Moon and proudly standing, in awe, upon its surface. We are all spiritual explorers, and should never let another human being take that magical journey for us.
You can visualize, listen to channeled guides, sit at the feet of great masters, or buy their videos; but the next time you are in turmoil, trust that you can ease your inner storm. If you have a question nagging at you, trust that you can ask yourself for the answer. Your mind will respond. Your Higher-Self, your Soul, will talk back to you.
Accessing The Inner
A simple exercise to access the Higher-Self is to sit in a comfortable position with your eyes closed, take a few slow deep breaths, and get relaxed. When you feel calm, formulate a question in your mind, ask it mentally, and then let your mind become silent. It's important to give yourself a minute or so of inner silence for a response. Be patient and wait to see what you get back -- it may be a word or a phrase that pops into your thoughts, a picture could drift into your mind's eye, or you may just get a feeling. The Higher-Self communicates in a variety of ways, so be flexible and open minded.
When you get an answer, and you always will, take your response and see how it relates to your question. It may be a direct answer, or it may guide you toward a plan of action. By working with this simple exercise on a daily basis, you will find that your Higher-Self is always sending you messages.
This exercise simply allows you to become receptive to that constant flow of messages being sent from your Higher-Self. You can do this in the morning, or before bed, or even just walking down a street. Try it and watch the results. In time, you can create a dialogue with your Higher-Self. Work with this. Have fun experimenting with talking to your Higher-Self and you may just discover the greatest teacher you will ever encounter, the master within!

A simple act can change a life forever in a moment - This morning I watched a recorded segment from an Oprah Show that told the story of a woman, Angela, who prayed with a young man who attempted to rob her at gunpoint while she worked behind the counter in her office. I imagine many of you may have heard about the story. Out of fear and desperation, she begged the man to spare her life and then started praying out loud asking to be protected. She told him, "You're too young to do this. Don't throw away your precious life. You don't look like a person who would want to hurt someone." The young man insisted that he had no choice because his family was about to be evicted from their home. He didn't know what else to do.
Eventually, as the woman continued to talk with him, the man dropped to his knees, began to cry, and asked her to pray with him. And she did. Shortly after he gave her the bullet from the gun and said, "No one's ever talked to me like this."
It was that line that stayed with me long after the story was over. As it turns out, the young man was depressed, had attempted suicide in the past, and was now feeling enormous pressure to provide for his fiance and young child without believing he had the ability to do so (and given his state of mind, he didn't). One simple act of love from a woman who reinforced the preciousness of his life was what he needed to see a different way. Later in the evening he turned himself in and is awaiting a hearing. It is my hope that he gets counseling and guidance, and a chance to help others with a lengthy community service project that will teach him a new trade.
When times are tough and life feels dire, solutions and help can seem so far away, completely unavailable, or overwhelming at best. But, more times than not, the opening to grace begins with an act of love - a willingness to listen rather than criticize, a prayer of forgiveness, an affirming statement that reminds a young woman of her inherent goodness, or an offer of support that sets a dad on a better path.
Today I vow to remember this. In my life I've been witness to the fact that a simple act of love contains a kind of power that goes beyond what the human mind can comprehend. It can shift consciousness in an instant and change a life forever. As I go about my week, I intend to smile at strangers more, look for opportunities to speak an encouraging word, or offer a prayer of hope for someone in need. I invite you to join me.
Take Action Challenge
Imagine that within your heart lies a powerful force that can move mountains. Your loving thoughts can heal. Your loving words can calm a worried soul.

Message from the Angels: My dear friends, we love you so very much. Dear ones, life is short, no matter how long you live it. Your problems, in the grand scheme of eternity, no matter how large they seem at present, will look so very small. And yet your opportunities in any given moment to experience the miracle of being in human form are so very grand. Do not dignify the devil by giving energy to your problems. Instead, focus with gratitude on the miracles all around you.
Focus on what you need to do, pray for guidance for the rest, and trust that God, who knows all your needs as well all your lessons, is in charge. Even when people die, dear friends, they are reunited with their loving creator. And so the worst can be the best.
The times of greatest challenge financially can bring the greatest opportunity for families to come together and focus on what is truly of value. The times of greatest challenge with health can be the greatest opportunity to allow others to love you. The times of greatest sadness for another can force you to focus on your own well being. Of course if you willingly embrace your growth, focus on what is of value, allow yourself to both give and receive, and trust that if you honor your own loving expression, then the challenges life presents as lessons need not be so great.
God loves you, more than you can possibly imagine and that is eternal truth. There is no deeper and greater truth. When you learn to have true faith and trust in this, and when you learn to embrace the fact that you cannot, no matter how you feel, ever be disconnected from your loving creator, then your lives will reflect this knowing. In the greatest times of adversity and in the most celebrated joys, embrace this truth. Your lives will become a magnificent expression then, of God's love.

Gene Weingarten of The Washington Post wrote a fascinating account of a man who started playing his violin in the metro station at the L’Enfant Plaza in Washington, DC. It was almost 8am on a busy Friday morning. The man, who was young and white, wore jeans and a baseball cap. For almost 45 minutes, he played some of the most difficult pieces a violinist can play.
Unbeknownst to the crowd, he had just finished an appearance at Boston's Symphony Hall, where merely pretty good seats went for $100 and the place was packed.
His gig in the subway station had been arranged by The Washington Post as an experiment. Would people recognize the incredible gift of his music even though it was presented out of context?
Before the event, the editors at The Post had discussed various scenarios about what might happen. Many were concerned that there would be a problem with crowd control. They assumed that in a demographic as sophisticated as Washington, Bell would be recognized and the rush-hour pedestrian traffic might get backed up, causing delays and maybe even a riot. Bell played for 3 minutes before anyone even looked his way. Then a woman threw some money in his open violin case and scooted off. It was not until six minutes into the performance that someone actually stood against a wall, and listened.
In the three-quarters of an hour that Joshua Bell played, only seven people stopped what they were doing to hang around. Twenty-seven gave money, most of them on the run --for a total of $32 and change. The rest of the people, over a thousand, missed the performance entirely. Although many were only a few feet away, most didn't even turn to look.
The whole event was videotaped by a hidden camera. Watching the video weeks later, Bell said he was surprised at the number of people who don't pay attention at all, acting as if he were invisible.
I love this story because it epitomizes the tension we all feel, the conflict between "getting on" with our lives and "being in" our lives. We ‘get on with our lives’ because we think that’s where we can find happiness, but life offers us so much RIGHT NOW! How many beautiful things did you miss today because you were 'getting on" with your life. Did you taste your food at lunch and dinner? Did you smell the autumn leaves? Hear the birdsong or the spacious sound of silence?
Why wait for some imagined treat later when, by opening our senses, we can have the juice and joy the world is offering right now.
Try this. In the next five minutes, notice the colours around you, sniff the air for aroma's, really feel what your hands are touching. Lick your lips and notice any tastes still in your mouth.
Just now as I did this, I heard the soft tick, tick, tick of my clock. Yes, it's telling me that time is passing, but even more, it's murmuring, "Now, now, now . . . "

by John Smallman -
As humanity's spiritual development continues to unfold rapidly, much is being done to assist that development. You are all spiritual beings apparently enclosed in bodies, and although many of you know intellectually that this is so – and many, many more of you are coming to this realization – it is still immensely difficult for you to live your lives in a way that is in agreement with this knowledge.
At present, in your illusory reality, your bodies do seem to be very real, very solid, and your physical senses most strongly confirm this. You are easily distracted from your spiritual activities by a variety of bodily sensations. We in the non-physical realms are constantly assisting you in your quest to confirm, stabilize, and strengthen your intent to experience God's love. This quest is difficult, for distractions are frequent and appear to be very important as they insist on your attention.
As you learn to be less attached to outcomes and results, you will also learn to accept others as they are, instead of focusing on their aspects that seem unreasonable or wrong. You will come to appreciate that your spontaneous judgments and assessments, which occur almost instantaneously, are invalid. They are not the person. Then you will begin to become aware of and acknowledge the true beauty within them that your previous attitudes had prevented you from noticing.
This is a moment of awakening that brings with it much joy, because when you start to see the beauty in others, your sensed need to persuade them to change their behavior falls away, and you cease feeling that it is your responsibility to change them, or indeed to change the world. You have started to accept yourself as you are, instead of focusing on and judging the inadequacies that you see in yourself. And it is this acceptance that you can now share with others. Yes, as humans, you make many errors, some very painful, that cause suffering for yourselves and others, but these errors are learning experiences of great value for all whom they affect, and by accepting them and not judging them you allow clarity, instead of guilt or blame, to show you the lesson's intent. Once that occurs there is no need to repeat it. This brings a great sense of peace, and increasingly the errors you make become less frequent, less painful, and more easily corrected.
Truly this is the path to ascension, to enlightenment. When you release judgment, blame, and condemnation, and accept what occurs just as it is, corrections to the situation can be made much more easily and swiftly to the satisfaction of all concerned, because no one has any need to defend himself or justify his actions. What happened happened, and will be corrected. An apology may or may not be appropriate, but once acceptance is the order of the day, correction can start at once.
Living in peaceful cooperation with one another is an essential lesson that needs to be well learned and put into practice – unlearned, ascension and enlightenment are impossible.
You all know this, because you have all at times behaved in this fashion with friends or loved ones, and have greatly enjoyed the satisfaction and warmth the experience brought you. So now it is necessary to extend this enlightened attitude to every area of your life, even if you seem to be alone in your endeavors. Walking your talk, visibly living your beliefs, is the only demonstration that has the power to show you, without any shadow of a doubt, that your will is one with your Father's. And when you live like this you will know that you are divinely helped and divinely loved in every moment.

Completely dressed in black Saskia entered my practice. “Wow!" I said "You, dressed in black! Even your eyes are painted black. That’s quite a change! What gave you the impulse to do this? You usually wear light colors!” “Yes, that’s right, but I’m so sick and tired because everybody starts talking to me. I want to give the world a signal not to bother me. To leave me alone. So I hope that this will do the job,” Saskia sighed. “Aha, the black stands for not welcome!” I chuckled. “Is this your usual way of telling the world to back off?” ”Normally I don’t give the world a signal at all. Not even that they are welcome!” Saskia replied.” Well, let’s talk about this whole matter a little more” I suggested. This was the opening of one of my sessions I had with Saskia
Many human angels, like you, send a signal to the world that you are available for the rest of humanity 24/7. Often you’re not aware you do this. Like the young woman above. But when I asked her if she was willing to help another person, the answer was undoubtedly a 100% Yes!. Anytime you wish! She told me it was her gift to reflect the feelings of anyone she met, be a mirror, so they could deal with their problems and move on. She found these conversations always very interesting, but also very tiring. The only way to deal with this problem for her, she thought, was to dress in an off-putting way.
But there are far better and purer ways to make this thing work for you, if you want to.
When I was a young girl I noticed that my mother was a kind of magnet who always attracted people to her. Wherever she was, someone started to talk to her and revealed the most private details of all sorts of problems. Whether she was in the mood for it or not, it simply happened. Later I noticed the same thing happening to me. We sometimes joked that our foreheads flashed the neon sign: Please talk to me!! Spell out your problems to me. Welcome! This neon sign was working night and day. I know for many of you who are reading this, it still works this way.
It took me some time to find out that my own intentions kept this sign flashing. I had become attached to the magical easiness of making contact and the urge to help other people. Like when I went on holiday there was always someone in need. This person started to talk to me and I didn’t dare to say no. This was such a coincidence, I couldn’t resist the call for need.
Thank God I also relax during holiday, so I asked myself why did this keep happening. I deserved a holiday too, like any other person. I sighed:” I hope they do have holidays in heaven, because I think it’s quiet a burden to be a (human) angel when you always have to be there for everyone.””Thinking this it made me laugh, I couldn’t stop! This was such a silly way to think. I am in control! So if I want a holiday, the only thing I need to do is to turn the neon sign off, and have a break. Not by demanding this only with the solutions my mind gives me, like the clothing of Saskia. But foremost by changing my intention, right from the heart!
So it’s your intention that determines whether you will be left alone, and have a break.
“But I’m obliged to help another being” I hear many readers think now, and in that time I also heard this voice in my head. But that very moment I allowed myself to give myself that holiday, right from my heart. So I said to myself: “Some other day, or maybe somebody else can help. I’m not the only human angel on this planet! I deserve a holiday, starting now!” The next morning my probe began. Somebody started to talk to me about a problem I’m specialized in helping with. I told this person I may be of help, but not that day. Maybe later on during the week. If she wanted this she only had to ask. You know what? She didn’t! Not that day, not later that holiday. Of course not. She was on holiday too.
Still the first time I said no to someone, I felt uneasy. Shouldn’t I do more? So I made this agreement with my higher self: If it really matters, than this person will come to me twice. If not, than I can rely on my faith that some other person might help, or the person doesn’t really want help.
Later I learned that when people start to talk about problems in my free time I listen to them for a short while and , if I think it may be I give them my website or email address. The conversation usually changes topic and later on is ended on a friendly note. Some people do contact me later, some don’t. And that’s okay. I let go of the compelling need to be there for everyone. It’s okay to have a break!
If you want a break, then just love yourself enough and allow yourself to have a break. This is the new energy way to do things. When you do this from the heart, with compassion, you, being a creator, create the potential for manifestation. You don’t need to deserve the break, you don’t need to have earned it. You just need to open your heart with compassion for yourself and the break you want to have.
Be aware of your mind. It may interfere and shout:”Shame on you!”. But shame is an old energy concept. Love and compassion, being one with your divine self is the new energy way of creation.
Also be aware of your old patterns of behaving. Once you have created the potential of a break, it’s up to you whether you really will make this thing work and not react in your old pattern of helping everyone again!
Also let go of the idea that you can only be a human angel by working hard. If you want to have a break, a fortnight off, a holiday, just relax and enjoy. You will be of angelic service by letting your light shine, simply by being yourself. This is a great gift you give the world! During your break you can take care of some of your own problems, clear yourself and let go of the things that bother you. So your light can even become more harmonious and stronger.
So if you want a break give it to yourself with love and compassion. Act accordingly and enjoy!

by Rebecca Couch -
God morning, beloveds, To another new moon time to begin anew again. Aren’t you glad the cycles just keep coming around again to support a slow transformation into your new selves? Otherwise spontaneous combustion would occur; be thankful for each moment on your path of transmutation!
By now, you know intimately that the process includes the constant reaching into the higher vibratory way while simultaneously surrendering the ways of the old. One hand reaches, the other releases. One breath builds, the other deconstructs. The in breath and the out breath, the ebb and flow, the waves of ascension. You are great at aspiring to the new, but not so great at letting go. You know that you are greater than your little mind, but your little mind holds on to what it’s got in case there may not be as much coming, or you may not like it as much, or you will have to change too radically or, or, or…and then the negotiations begin.
We are sorry to report that the negotiations are closed and all you need to do is get in the boat (without oars, of course) and trust that the stream of greater perfection (that is not your version) will carry you, naturally, on the most beautiful journey there is: the one captained by Spirit. Why settle for the Amazon when you can flow in the Great River of Paradise? Let go. Surrender. Give it up. Allow. Relinquish. Bow. Accommodate. Serve.
This great turning of the tides is from the one to The One. From the singular me to the Great We. The sum is oh-so-much greater than the parts. Give up your singular stance and surrender to the grace of the All That Is, and when you have the power of the whole within you, just imagine what great works will be done. You will laugh when you realize that you have exhausted yourself waging great causes as a gallant flea when you could simply become the silent grace and all-pervasive power of the wind. Become the wind. Become the water. Become permeable and malleable in the guise of Spirit. Allow your little self to become the Great Self by willingly joining it. Surrender your little cause to become the Great Cause. Relinquish the fight for nothing other than your own little domain. Your deep exhaustion will be eased, your angry battle will cease and your heart will know greater purpose. Until then, you are kept small by your own will when you are so much more!
How do you get there?
Ask for greater perspective. Ask for understanding. Ask to be shown the Greater Way. Ask for the experience of Oneness. Ask to have the courage to lift yourself up out of your own mire. Ask to be lifted up over the wall of your illusion to peer - like a child over a garden wall - the great, magnificent expanse on the other side. Then you will know what you have settled for. You will know you have been the flea when you can be the sea! Ask for nothing less than to participate in the Great Amalgamation of one to One. You have known separation, and that part of the play, the experiment, the story, is coming to an end, that you may now return to your original wholeness, unified purpose and state-of-being. The little ego loves to put up a stink, a snit, a drama, a fight about it that feels very real and serious and all-pervasive at the time – but the All Pervasive you experience in the Great Unification is the ultimate goal, the big reward and the highest purpose you are here to accomplish at this time.
So give up your little ways so that you can become the Big Way. The irony is that you already are this, you just have to show yourself that this is true! We leave you in humble service to All That You Are, and bow to your bravery in turning yourselves inside out.

by Wayne W. Dyer -
A sense of purpose is at the very top of the pyramid of self-actualization created by Abraham Maslow more than 50 years ago. Through his research, Dr. Maslow discovered that those who feel purposeful are living the highest qualities that humanity has to offer. During the many years I’ve been in the fields of human development, motivation, and spiritual awareness, this is the topic that more people inquire about than anything else. I’m repeatedly asked questions such as: How do I find my purpose? Does such a thing really exist? Why don’t I know my purpose in life? Being on purpose is what the most self-actualized people accomplish on their life journeys. But many individuals feel little sense of purpose, and may even doubt that they have a purpose in life.
The very fact of your existence indicates that you have a purpose. The key question for most of us is: “What is my purpose?” And I hear that question in as many forms as there are people wondering about it: What am I supposed to be doing? Should I be an architect, a florist, or a veterinarian? Should I help people or fix automobiles? Am I supposed to have a family or be in the jungle saving the chimpanzee? We’re befuddled by the endless number of options available to us, and wonder whether we’re doing the right thing. I urge you to forget these questions. Move instead to a place of faith and trust in the universal mind, remembering that you emanated from this mind and that you’re a piece of it at all times.
In response to the question What should I do with my life?, I suggest that there’s only one thing you can do with it, since you came into this life with nothing and you’ll leave with nothing: You can give it away. You’ll feel most on purpose when you’re giving your life away by serving others. When you’re giving to others, to your planet, and to your Source, you’re being purposeful. Whatever it is that you choose to do, if you’re motivated to be of service to others while being authentically detached from the outcome, you’ll feel on purpose, regardless of how much abundance flows back to you.
Allow yourself to be in the feeling place within you that’s unconcerned with such things as vocational choices or doing the things you were destined to do. When you’re in the service of others, or extend kindness beyond your own boundaries, you’ll feel connected to your Source. You’ll feel happy and content, knowing that you’re doing the right thing.
I get that feeling of inner completion and contentment that lets me know that I’m on purpose by reading my mail or hearing the comments I so frequently hear when I’m walking through airports or eating at restaurants: You changed my life, Wayne Dyer. You were there for me when I felt lost. This is different from receiving a royalty payment or a great review, which I also enjoy. The personal expressions of gratitude are what sustain me in knowing that I’m on purpose.
Outside of my chosen occupation, I feel purposeful in a myriad of ways virtually every single day. When I extend assistance to someone in need, when I take a moment to cheer up a disgruntled employee in a restaurant or store, when I make a child laugh who sits otherwise ignored in a stroller, or even when I pick up a piece of litter and place it in a trash can, I feel that I’m giving myself away and, as such, feel purposeful. Stay focused on giving and your purpose will find you.

by Hieu Doan -
The chakras are portal or structures which help to channel and integrate subtle energies into the physical body. The body has 7 primary chakras but over 2000 secondary ones which help to direct and hold the integrity of our 3 main elements – mind, body and spirit. Since the flow of this triad is always shifting, directed by our intent and consciousness, so too must the chakra system recalibrate and find new points of balance which each shift. In other words, just as our thinking, communication, perspectives and intentions change, so do the requirements of our chakra systems.
The chakra system deals mainly with subtle energy and so for the most part this energy is able to move through subtle shifts of tension within the physical body. With enough subtle tension however, the flow of energy will slow and even stop. The result is that the body, mind and emotions will begin receiving less and less information. Information will result in less understanding and less understanding will lead to less ability. Usually this does not happen in a dramatic way, it may take years, the same way that plumbing can take years to clog up and eventually block the flow of water.
Depending on which chakras are blocked or limited, the physical and mental consciousness will exhibit various manifestations... Blockages in the solar plexus for instance can result in a lack of will or strong intent to take action. This will be experienced in the body as a lessening of the bio-chemicals that create the sensation or emotion of will and purpose. Emotionally and mentally this will be experienced in corresponding mind states such as apathy or boredom. Blockages in the crown chakra will result in a disconnection from the Higher Self, as well as a difficulty connecting to the bigger picture in ones life. Just as with the solar plexus chakra, specific bio-chemicals will correspond to this particular blockage.
The link between the energy of the chakra and the bio-chemistry of the body is simply about information. There is nothing mysterious about it at all. Our whole being exists and survives because of information. There is information between the heart and the brain, information between organs and enzymes, hormones and blood, oxygen and lungs, as well as information from the outside world such as people, books, trees, the sun, the moon, gravity and electricity. Information is influence and expression, through connecting with this information a communication happens. This is the same communication that occurs between the energy of the chakras and the physical body.
The foundation ‘foot in the door’ principles to any type of chakra balancing should begin with simply spending time at the chakra location. Forget about what is written in books, references or even here for that matter. Nothing will compare to actual ‘sit down’ time with your own chakras. Its like spending time with a loved one, kids, friends and so on - we can go out and seek advanced knowledge and professional advice, but sometimes what is really needed is simply to spend time with them. It’s the same deal with the chakras. An amazing amount of communication will open up when we just listen and observe – and in this listening a great deal of balancing and integration will just happen. The results will be seen in the way the physical body feels, the mind thinks, the emotions move and the spirit flows through us.

by Julie Redstone -
Those we are close to are related to us in complex ways, historically, biologically, and in terms of soul-connection. Yet often, what outpictures on the level of the physical does not reflect the intensity and meaningfulness of the soul connection that has brought us into proximity with another, whether for a few moments or for a lifetime.
Where the bond is strong and one of commitment, we tend to assume that there is a deeper connection. However, what is actually true is that this connection exists even where relationships do not function smoothly or carry a great deal of difficulty. Even in such cases, the soul connection may be one of a purely positive nature, though many serious problems or challenges may be manifesting on the physical plane.
The confusion about levels of relationship comes up commonly in two ways: when we feel a deep heart connection with someone, whether for a few moments or for many years, and this sense of connection is not reciprocated or acknowledged by the other, or, when we have a great deal of difficulty with another or suffer at the hands of another, and wonder why they are in our lives and what, that is positive, could be the purpose of such a relationship. In both cases, we are presuming a relationship on a different level that is the explanation or cause for what we are experiencing.
The truth of soul relationships is more complex than most are aware of at this point. On the one hand, what one soul recognizes may not be what another is capable of perceiving at a given point in time. This does not make the relationship or connection untrue. It just means that the other is bound in their perception by limitations on the personality level and cannot register or be aware of the deeper currents of relatedness. The discrepancy between our own perception of things and that of someone else can lead to disappointment and even to sorrow if we do not understand that what exists at the soul level has to find its way into physical expression in its own way and time. In some instances this may not happen nor serve the highest good within a particular lifetime.
Similarly, with relationships that have a strong negative component, whether familial or introduced by external circumstances into our life. Souls never come together to harm each other. They always come together in order to further each other’s learning on the level of the heart and spirit. No matter who we encounter in life, especially in the context of a long-term connection, the other soul is crossing our path in order to convey something that we have chosen to learn. What this is, involves the mystery of embodied experience, and can shape the course of a lifetime.
Suffice it to say that, often, the direction we think things should go in with another, does not become the direction that they actually go in. This is not because the inner connection is not there or is faulty, but because the point of meeting with another brings into awareness for each participant, the portion of meaning they are capable of holding in the present, and what is true within the perception of one person may not be true for the other.
Souls, in their desire and capacity to help each other, may also choose periods of time apart from each other. Sometimes the separation is what is needed in order to further the relationship. Sometimes, the learning that takes place can only take place with periodic or intermittent contact with another. In addition, there are many levels of meeting or contact between souls. Souls have the capacity of meeting not just on the physical plane, but on the plane of dreams which, for many, involves actual meetings that are conducted within the energy-body while asleep.
The kind of communication and support that can take place through these non-physical meetings can be quite significant. They can further or continue a relationship, even where one participant has left their body through death. This is because those who have departed are still connected with us as souls and can choose, for various reasons, to meet us within our energy or dream bodies while asleep so that we may share further experience as part of an ongoing relationship.
Where souls are meeting primarily in the dream body as opposed to the physical body, it can happen either because the inner directives of one soul have caused them to depart from the physical plane while the other remains. It can also be caused by limitations on the level of the personality that prevent a soul from acknowledging the connection with another due to defensiveness, fear, or simply to a lack of awareness within the existing personality of what the soul knows on its own level. And so the inner connection is maintained when the personality has less say over making contact, generally at night, but sometimes also during the day.
At these times we may experience the presence of others with us where it seems that there is an intentionality to their being there, and a desire to communicate in words or through feeling. Becoming able to listen and to hear these communications without fear or self-invalidation, but with a sense of wanting to help and to love, is a task of the maturing soul that opens the door to the many faceted relationships that exist within the spiritual universe.
Finally, let it be said that souls also meet outside of their physical bodies because of the level of their spiritual development and their increased capacity to do so in an intentional way. These meetings are part of the growing development of consciousness to manifest reality in a myriad of ways.
In the end the connections with others on the level of the soul enrich life immeasurably, and add to the dimension of the physical, the dimension of the spiritual in ways that will one day become quite natural and commonplace, which, for today, may seem the exception.
The truth of soul relationships is more complex than most are aware of. Yet often, what outpictures on the level of the physical does not reflect the meaningfulness of the soul connection that has brought us into proximity with another. Awareness of these connections enrich life immeasurably, and add to the dimension of the physical, the dimension of the spiritual in ways that will one day become quite natural, which, for today, may seem the exception.
