Everyone seeks peace and harmony, because these are what we lack in our lives. From time to time we all experience agitation, irritation, disharmony, suffering; and when one suffers from agitation, one does not keep this misery limited to oneself. One keeps distributing it to others as well. The agitation permeates the atmosphere around the miserable person. Everyone who comes into contact with him also becomes irritated, agitated. Certainly this is not the proper way to live. One ought to live at peace with oneself, and at peace with all others. After all, a human being is a social being. He has to live in society--to live and deal with others. How are we to live peacefully? How are we to remain...

Daily inspiration helps us to stay focused on God's love, no matter what else is going on in our daily lives.

The Trinity of Body Mind Soul 01st December 2005 Author: Amy Biddle We are all spiritual beings, each of us with the gift of a body, mind, and soul. When we are not very aware of our essentially spiritual nature, we tend to identify ourselves as just one thing or the other. Some of us think we are this body that does things, or we're a mind that has to figure it out. Our soul, we may imagine, is something that floats up and may or may not live on after we die. As we grow in spiritual awareness, we develop a more integrated understanding of ourselves. We come to know ourselves as spiritual creatures, operating through a unified trinity of body, mind, and soul. These three facets of self allow us to...

No one enjoys hearing negative comments from others, especially if there is no constructive value to them. So why put up with these comments when they come from yourself. Negative thinking makes you less attractive to the abundance around you and more attractive to all that you don't want. You attract what you think about and focus on. The main reason why people fall far short of their desires in life is self sabotage. Most of it happens at a very subtle subconscious level. Many of those negative thoughts that you get, even the little tiny ones that last only milliseconds are part of your self sabotage. Deleting your automatic negative programming and replacing it with positives is a monumental task...

Alternative medicine has been gaining in both popularity and acceptance in recent years. Many cities now have a plethora of shops where a person interested in buying alternative medicines can go to find whatever they are seeking, in addition to being able to take advantage of many alternative medicine services at local practitioners' offices. Alternative medicine is simply a way of referencing a type of treatment that is not officially recognized by the medical establishment as a relief or cure. There are literally thousands of practices that fall under this category, and most people would be surprised to find some of the items that either are or were once considered to be against the grain, or...

Low self-esteem can lead to various problems in someone's career, relationships and personal life. Low self-esteem can easily be transformed into depression which can further affect one's metal, physical and social disposition. Respected psycho-therapist, Dr. Nathaniel Branden, defines self-esteem as the "disposition to experience oneself as being competent enough to be able to keep up with the challenges in one's life." The concept of self-esteem is basically all about how one views himself and his place in life itself. It is overall view of oneself based on reality. Having a healthy self-esteem is important. It gives someone a positive outlook in life and this is reflected in his performance in...

I’ve got a bit of a problem with depression and anxiety. I’ve been tackling these problems for several years without the use of modern medicine. Tai Chi, meditation, martial arts (exercise), and positive interaction with other people seem to keep a lid on my illnesses most of the time. I don’t like the idea of medication’s side effects, and I don’t believe the answers in life are often found in the easy path (E.G. taking a pill), but rather on the hard path of effort and determination. This is not to say that I don’t feel medicine is not effective, not at all, I just feel all the options should be looked at before making big decisions to do with one’s health...

Long before the term alternative medicine was being used, aromatherapy was being practiced by the Egyptians for over 5,000 years. When being used by the Egyptians oil was being extracted from the many aromatic plants around them through infusion and then used for their not only cosmetic and medicinal purposes but also for embalming as well. They then passed the knowledge they had gained on to the Greeks and it served as the beginning of their research into how to use the oils and fragrance of some flowers for their relaxing and stimulating effects. In fact when looking back further in history we find that ancient man depended very much on his environment for their basic needs and to survive which...

Taking out the trash is a chore that we do not look forward to. We do it on a regular basis to get rid of the garbage and junk in our home. We take the trash to the front curb or the rear alley way to be picked up and carried away - never to be thought of again. Most of us wouldn't even think of allowing a bunch of smelly garbage and junk to build up in their home. However, many of us allow all sorts of garbage and junk to build up inside of us - and often times we never take this type of trash out at all. The garbage and junk we allow to build up with in us can be broken down into two negative emotional categories. The emotions we feel when we wrong someone and the emotions we feel when we are...

Yoga has become one of the most popular types of alternative medical treatments and its popularity is growing rapidly every year. Hatha yoga is only one of many "types" of yoga that exists today.

Let's be honest. A lot of people think that spiritual healing is a little "woo-woo." Look at it logically, though, and I think you'll agree it's nothing out of the ordinary. Health is your natural state of being. It's your default setting. As soon as you scrape your knee or cut your finger, you begin healing yourself. Your blood clots, while tenderness and swelling warn you to steer clear of the healing area. It's like a sign outside of a construction site, "Working - Do Not Enter." Of course, there are often additional things you can do to facilitate healing. If a cut on your arm is very deep, you might bandage it or even sew the severed edges together, so that the healing cells can reach each...

There has been a surge in recent years of people looking to alternative medicine for treatment of illness. It is a practice that generates a great deal of controversy both inside and outside of the traditional world of medicine, and an issue that some experts say does not receive enough attention.

Common types of alternative medicine include herbs, supplements, therapies and activity programs that fall outside of traditional medical practice and are questionable in terms of safety and effectiveness.

Let us begin with the term "healing." Healing is the process of seeing through the veils of illusion. Behind the veils we find the illusion was the thought, belief, or idea that we ever needed to healed in the first place (Like when Dorothy un-covers the Wizard of OZ by pulling back the curtains). It is seeing "the truth." Behind the veils we see that we are whole, healthy, abundant, and radiant beings of light and love. Once we see this in ourselves clearly - we will automatically see it in every living being we encounter. Our work then, is to see it in ourselves first and foremost. To begin the process of healing we must be committed to un-covering the veils (the false beliefs, ideas, and...

What Ever Happened to the Basic FourThe USDA was originally given the conflicting task of educating the public on agricultural matters while simultaneously working with food producers to provide a reliable and consistent food supply.

When I was a teenager, I was involved in a serious car accident that left me in a coma. In the hours, days, and weeks that followed, I was kept alive by a vast array of sophisticated medical technologies, high-precision devices, and advanced western pharmaceutical treatments. Fortunately, that was precisely what my body needed following my near-fatal accident. And that is precisely what "conventional" Western medicine does best -- keeps bodies functioning in the face of acute trauma, life-threatening illnesses, or severe accidents.During my post-coma rehabilitation, I had to relearn everything. Literally. While other teens were learning how to drive, I was re-learning how to walk, how to talk, how...

A young bible college student once wrote and told me how the college she attends has been teaching that "speaking in tongues" is the sole evidence that one is filled with the Spirit and that no one WAS filled with the Spirit UNLESS they've spoken in tongues. Apparently, that didn't sit well with her and she wanted my opinion.Let me begin by stating that I'm well aware that not all subscribers to these eMail broadcasts prescribe to the belief that "tongues" are for today. The focus of this treatise is not to argue that point, one way or the other. Suffice it to say that I'm hoping we have all read (or WILL read) the Scriptures enough to recognize: (A) what "speaking in tongues" is, and (B) that many...

The Initial Agony The clock ticks away and still you haven't thought up a design or even a topic for your coursework - a psychological investigation on an issue of your choice. Many students come to me in the agony of not knowing what to study for their investigation with its impending deadline.
