Aligned With Truth

 I wrote this article as a response to a dear friend who is struggling with important life-changing decisions. I advised him to go deep into his soul, and to honor the feelings he knows are true. My desire is that he not cave to pressures from the opinions of others or what might be the obvious survival-mode conclusions. As always this guidance states that spirit is constantly speaking truth, giving the best advise for every decision along your course.

Sometimes all the pieces of our lives are working together quite smoothly, like great teamwork. We feel happy, satisfied, and maybe even like we have everything figured out. We are wearing our Life Is Good shirt with pride.

And then out of nowhere, like a crack in the sidewalk, something comes along to knock us down. When that smooth ride hits the bump, we may land on the cement, in the gutter, or maybe even in the hospital.

Ask and Receive

Sometimes we try to do everything with our limited physical selves, when it is so much easier, effortless really, to create the good life when connected to spirit. Sometimes we could use a little help getting into our spiritual matrix, that power place where we can practice experiencing the blessings of spirit. So today, I want to be that friend, and give you a tool for short-cutting your access to spirit.

Your spirit is one with God now, always has been, and always will be. Your spirit can manage life quite well, perfectly in fact, if you will let it in! Your spirit is very sacred, very precious, and must be able to trust you, to trust that your physical being will follow the inspirational promptings it receives. Your spirit wants to be fed, nourished, from the source of all spirit—God and the angels.

Jump Start 2010 with a Detox Program!

If you are really ready to make some positive changes in your life and overall health in 2010, start with a great detoxification program! As toxins play a huge role in overall health and disease, it is critical before embarking on any New Year's plan to "blitz" your body and give it a clean slate! (If your body is already in ill health, make sure your adrenals are well supported and check with your doctor in advance.)

There are many great detoxification protocols you can follow, but the best incorporate many techniques including some kind of infection control, immune system building, foot baths, sauna treatments and internal cleansing. We are currently reviewing several detoxification protocols and products, and will keep you posted on our best recommendations.

Establish Key Connections -- Connect To Yourself

The relationship you develop with yourself will be the most pivotal connection you make in your lifetime. This is the link that allows you to understand what you want, who you are, and how you want to live your life. Your self-connection will ground you and give you a sense of certainty that will allow you to move past your social mask and beyond the bravado of ego. Your self is the core of who you are--it will always lead you down a path of joy and empowerment.

The intimacy you experience with your core forms the basis of every other relationship you have. When you accept yourself, you will more easily accept others. Your ability to like, support, and appreciate yourself will make you much more likely to like, support, and appreciate the people in your life.

Do It Right NOW!

When I say Trust Spirit Now, that’s exactly what I mean: NOW—not in a little while, when things get a little quieter, or when you can find a place alone to think. At the first realization that your life feels less than joyful, the time is now to go to spirit for help. That means stop everything, and at least be willing to ask, even experiment, as I did in a most interesting way.

It was about 1998, and I was listening to one of my favorite spiritual mentors, rewinding my car’s tape player, over and over, as I tried to understand the deep spiritual concepts she was sharing. My teacher was explaining that spirit was ready and waiting to talk to me, right then, wherever I was, to give me the guidance I was in need of, in that very moment. She challenged me to test her theories.

Alternative Fat and Cellulite Loss Treatments

It seems that everywhere you turn now there is a great new bodysculpting or anti aging technique offered to attract the person who wants fast fat loss results without invasive surgical procedures! It is important for anyone who is considering such a procedure to be well informed before making a decision.

One of the very best things anyone can do to assist in overall fat and cellulite loss is to eat whole, natural foods, keep active and drink plenty of water! Having said that, not everyone feels they have the time or ability to do that (although with some simple changes it can become a part of your every day lifestyle).

Happiness is a Choice

I remember the moment it happened. I was listening intently as the seminar presenter quoted Eleanor Roosevelt when she said, "No one can make me feel inferior without my consent." Immediately the power of those words sunk deep into my heart and I thought, "That's wonderful! That means no one can make me angry unless I allow it. And no one can offend me without my permission! That means . . . happiness is a choice!"

I decided right then and there to make conscious choices about how I respond to others and to my circumstances. I resolved, in that moment, to refuse to be offended by anyone.

It's Time to Take Control of Your Life!

In my work with clients, I'm often asked to help women balance the many demands of their work, home, and personal responsibilities. In each instance, my clients are looking for a sense of control and balance in their life. Whether I'm talking to a corporate executive or a stay-at-home mother, my advice about life balance is always the same. You will balance your life, your work, and your personal aspirations when you stop managing your time, and start managing your priorities.

Time is finite. You get only 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Once you've used a moment, it is gone forever. The process of using your time effectively becomes possible when you begin to view it as a commodity versus an expendable resource.

Tai Chi for Sports

Tai Chi is awesome as a sports training tool because its goal is to cultivate balance, calm, and power. Those are three things one needs to excel in any physical activity. During Tai Chi practice you learn about the lower dan tien, which is an energy center located just below the navel. Tai Chi players are taught to move from their dan tien, which is their center of gravity. This is especially helpful for skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, and skiing. Likewise, in baseball, golf, tennis and racquetball to hit the ball you swing from the center, or dan tien. Let's take baseball; Tai Chi's ability to improve balance is excellent for infielders, who move and reach quickly and sharply. And just before going into a pitch, a pitcher must hold his/her balance on one leg for several seconds. This point of balance can determine the force and accuracy of the pitch.

The concept of swinging from the dan tien may also help reduce "golfer's back" because by creating the swing from below the navel there is less twisting of the lower back.

5 Powerful Steps to Good Health

The most helpless feeling in the world is to watch someone you love die, and not knowing anything to do for them. Such was the case for me, in my young adult life, as I sat by my dear mother's bedside and literally, watched her body shut down, a day and an organ at a time. She passed away after a seven-year battle with cancer. During those last ten days, as she looked at me and asked me for help, just waiting for the end to come, I felt a growing and intense desire to know how to stop this senseless kind of death.

These feelings exploded as the nurse admitted that my mother had died from the effect of the chemotherapy and radiation, and not the lymph cancer itself. The chemicals had literally destroyed her body's ability to fight back and heal itself.
