Dream Predictions and The Unconscious Guidance in Dreams

You can understand your spiritual reality the same way you understand your material reality. You only have to learn how to translate the meaning of dreams according to the scientific method discovered by Carl Jung, and simplified by me.

The unconscious mind that produces your dreams gives you many explanations about the reasons why everything happens in your daily life. You can also predict the future, and change the future development of your reality.

The mindset of the materialistic and atheistic modern civilization is very far from the comprehension of the spiritual dimension of our reality. The unconscious mind shows you in your dreams how you can avoid repeating the common mistakes of the human race.

You'll learn how to identify the laws that belong to your spiritual reality and respect them, the same way you respect physical laws already recognized by our scientists.

This new vision of your reality will give you the chance to read people's minds and understand the reasons why various facts happen in your daily life. Since you'll understand what makes these facts happen, this means that you will also understand how to change the route of your life.

You have to learn how you can change your life. You must pay attention to the objective conditions of your reality. By having a superior vision, you'll understand all the possibilities and impossibilities of the way.

You will observe that everything is prepared to happen before actually happening. Nothing happens without being prepared to happen in a certain way because the facts of our daily lives have a purpose.

Our reality is organized based on the fight between good and evil. Our reality also depends on our psychological type and on the necessities of development of our psyche. Numerous factors predetermine how our future will be unfolded.

We live in order to eliminate our wild nature and learn how to be wise. Nothing happens by chance in our world.

We can predict the future the same way we predict the weather. However, dream predictions are not doubtable like the weather predictions based on human calculations. The predictions we have in dreams are based on God's calculations, since the unconscious mind that produces our dreams is God's mind. Therefore, these predictions are not suppositions. They will happen for sure.

When will you see something you had predicted in a dream actually happening?

Sometimes immediately, sometimes only after a long preparation. However, you will surely verify that everything you had predicted in a dream will really happen in your daily reality. The divine predictions are based on wisdom.

Now that we have undoubtable proof of God's existence we must understand that we have a spirit. All the religious lessons we had when we were children were true. Even thought the absurd modern civilization is materialistic and atheistic, the truth is that God exists and we had better pay attention to this fact instead of trying to ignore the truth.

This fact is not being accepted with joy by the world because nobody likes to be obedient.

Nobody wants to recognize God's existence. Nobody wants to obey God's guidance and learn how to be wise. Everybody wants to be free and do whatever they may desire.

However, there is no freedom on Earth, a planet especially created with the intention to transform our satanic anti-conscience into human content. Our anti-conscience is our wild conscience, which didn't evolve like our human conscience and generates mental illnesses within our conscience. We inherit this primitive conscience because we can think.

We also receive a tiny human conscience from God, so that we may transform our anti-conscience into human content.

We have to obey God's guidance because we don't know how to fight absurdity, and our anti-conscience destroys our conscience through craziness. If we don't obey God's guidance, we become slaves of our wild nature.

We must show gratitude because we can be guided by God in our dreams. This way we can understand how to successfully solve our problems without being based on our suppositions.

As an intelligent individual who follows the progress of the human knowledge, you have to conclude that the obedience to the guidance of the unconscious mind is a wise decision. The unconscious mind is the best doctor, teacher, and friend you could find.

Three Costly Mistakes Preventing Your Peace of Mind

Mistake #1 - Your body and mind are separate. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

It's been said that "You may fool yourself some of the time. You may fool others some of the time. But, you can never fool your body. It is the most sensitive barometer of your inner world." And, both are inter-connected. "What tones and calms one, soothes and improves the other."

Your behaviour is actually creating worldly and psychic frameworks that future humanity and your descendants will inhabit.

Solution - Choose your acts and thoughts very wisely. Life responds to wise attention in remarkable ways! A body scan is a good way to begin to live mindfully. Your mind has a direct impact on your body. What inhabits your body? Your mind. If the mind is tense, and disconnected, the body will match. Doing a body scan is a simple technique that helps you to energetically wake up your body-mind connection.

Mistake #2 - Your Thinking Mind. I know it sounds silly but most people's thinking is automatic, repetitive and involuntary. You don't think. Thinking happens to you. The voice in the head has a mind of its own, and unfortunately most people are at the mercy of that voice. Your mind picks up all kinds of things from earlier in the day and "replays" it endlessly, or it's restless and can't stop running around. These are all very powerful internal states and your mind gets attached to this conditioned way of thinking. Your mind wants attention right now!

Solution: Get out of your head! Let go of the stories. Free your mind by sitting quietly. Try paying attention to your breathing. This not only changes the direction of your focus, but it also helps in not strengthening your wayward thoughts.

Mistake #3 - Your Ego. Yikes! This is a big one. For thousands of years humanity has become mind-possessed. Because we have become so identified through our mind, a false sense of ourself came into being - the ego. And there's even more to this.

Another dimension of the ego is emotion. Emotion turns into ego when you identify with them; that is to say when they become "I" takes over.

Explained a different way, let's say that you see two of your friends over in the corner having a quiet conversation. Your mind observes this and then begins to chatter away. Saying things like "I bet they're over there talking about me." Or, "I just know that they're talking about what happened today at the gym." You have not only become emotional, but the situation becomes about you.

Solution - How do you get a handle on this? You need to let go of the story and return to the only place of power. The Present Moment. You hang onto your stories because it strengthens your identity. But, nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being Present Now. And, if the past can't prevent you from being Present Now, what power does it have? Again, become quiet in your body and allow your mind to become still so it can see what is really there. This is called having a mindful experience.

Here's what I have for you. Visit me at calmtoday.com. You can catch the free online webcast to see for yourself how easy this can be. (Come on, you know you can do this!) Invest in yourself. You're worth it! Providing quality counselling articles, hynotherapy writings and other mind help resources online.

So What Good Is Reverse Osmosis?

It's well-known that people are mainly made up of water. With out drinking water our blood would not be in a position to flow and our bodies wouldn't be capable of getting rid of waste materials and we would actually end up poisoning ourselves. The important thing to keep in mind is that it is that you need to drink clean water. You do not want to introduce a range of impurities that could be hazardous to your health in an attempt to get water into your body as this will make you dehydrate even more! This is where things such as reverse osmosis come in handy.

Reverse osmosis is really a process that is used in the purification of water. It's used to get as many heavy particles out of the water as possible. Osmosis is a process by which water moves from a higher concentration of water molecules to a lower concentration of water molecules until the system is in balance. Reverse osmosis is the precise opposite, therefore the term "reverse".

A system which makes usage of reverse osmosis to cleanse water will use pressure on the side of the lower concentration of water molecules to force the water molecules to escape via a semi-permeable membrane layer to a higher concentration of water molecules. This then separates the water from the harmful particles that you do not want in the water as the membrane layer doesn't allow them through.

This is not the actual be all and end all of water purification though. Reverse osmosis can only do so much as only a specific amount of pressure could be withstood by the membranes employed in the process. It will do a very good job though.

This procedure is usually used to remove contaminants such as salt and other heavy metals from the water that is being purified. Some heavy metals are harmful to our bodies if taken in sufficient amounts and so need to be removed from the water. It does not work against contaminants that are smaller than the water molecules though so things like germs and pesticides may still be in the water after is has passed through this sort of process. That is why a water refinement plant is such a sizable and intricate beast. The purpose of it all is to produce drinking water that's as pure as possible.

It's not possible for mankind to produce water as pure as that which flows from the source of a glacial spring, however we are able to d a pretty good job with all the technologies as well as science at our fingertips. It's a good idea to check on the purity of water in a foreign country before you drink from the faucets there although, just in case there are things in there that your body does not understand how to handle and may make your stomach upset. If you are not certain then its usually safer to consume water in bottles that has been through a more stringent purification process compared to water in the taps.

A World Full of So Much

There are so many people in the world ready to give their love to one another. Yet so many people at the same time are crafting their skills in how to hate one another just a bit more each and everyday.

Millions of people on a daily basis seek inner happiness and harmony. Yet so many disregard another's opinion, so many disbelieve that humanity can safe itself from extinction, and there are even those who dislike our world in a state of true peace.

Why are the most people on this earth not utilizing their fullest potential of love, peace, and harmony to their benefit? Is even this concept too hard for us to understand? Or is it because for thousands of years our subconscious minds have been pre-programmed to deliver us misery? Where is our sense of touch and connection, with the inner spirit of this little planet earth and our grander home, the universe?

A world that is full of so much human potential, which is available through the infinite capabilities of our soul. Yet due to the lack of understanding in our minds, we dwell and dwell in vicious circles, taking us further and further away from the truth.

The truth is that we do not need to live in a world of pain and misery; we can start today, even now by creating a world of love and peace. We start with our own world, bit by bit, piece by piece; we change our view of the world into a positive one. A world, where there isn't just some little space for happiness, but rather where everything we do and surround our selves with is the source of our true inner happiness.

In the state of true happiness, we often cross the border of pain and confusion and we enter into our spiritual world. A place Where our hearts are filled with love, fun and joy. Venturing in our spiritual world also enlightens to us, our unlimited creative potential.

This is why we need spirituality, and it has always been important for us since the beginning of time. Today's economy is absolutely no exception; humanity should become more creative to carry on successfully. It is no lie that a vast amount of people around us are becoming unhappy with their life situations. They see greater lack in more and more things, in and around their life's.

Creativity is something we all have and are able to use to the fullest, when we get into harmony with our true inner spiritual self. When we consciously reconnect our physical being with our spiritual being, we learn to let go of any kind of mental limitation, self-doubt, or self-destruction.

Everyday is a new life to the wise woman or man, in a world full of so much potential. Providing quality counselling articles, hynotherapy writings and other mind help resources online, counselling hypnotherapist and life coach in London.

How to Live an Olympic Life: Gold, Silver, Bronze

Have you been watching the Olympics? Are you impressed with the skill, style, determination, stamina, endurance, grace, and aesthetics of the athletes doing what they do best? If you're like millions of people across the world during these weeks, you are.

Seeing various Olympic events gets me thinking about how these athletes are in many ways nothing like you and me, because they are extraordinary. The number of people in the whole world who can do what they do - and do it that well - are few. It's fun to see how "super-human" mere humans can be.

Yet, are they that different from us? Not to take away anything from their unique skills and abilities, which they earned over years of training and sacrifice, but in a way, we can all learn to lead "Olympic" lives. What do I mean by this?

The Olympics are important to us, as viewers, because they represent many positive qualities about the world we live in: peoples from so many different countries, gathering in peace and competing in fair competitions with an elaborate set of agreed-upon rules. They represent what happens when everything (well, almost everything) goes right with the human body. The games show us what we are capable of - in theory - by being human. And part of the competition is to be judged on the demonstration of those efforts, earning the Gold (the ultimate), Silver (excellent), or the Bronze (great), and even just to see participants (even non-medal-winners), who qualified enough to compete (still admirable, even extraordinary).

If we use the Olympic games as a metaphor for Life, how are you doing? Your chosen "sport" is really your chosen life - domestically/personally, and professionally. How are you doing? Gold? Silver? Bronze? Participating? Or are you even qualifiying for your chosen "event"?

In life, we don't have Olympic judges scoring us. But we do have ourselves judging us, by our own subjective evaluation of how life is going. What does it take to win the Gold? I think therapy is a lot like the coaches the Olympic athletes have. Sure, the athletes, at the end of the day, are the ones doing the actual performance (kind of like a therapy client), but they probably wouldn't perform as well without their coach to evoke, inspire, guide, refine, troubleshoot, and discover the performance within them. The athletes achieve more with a good coach than they could achieve without one. It's hard to "win gold" all the time in life, but there are moments when we do, and we savor the feelings associated with these moments, and store those feelings in our memory as the "high points" of our lives.

Some people achieve a lot of Gold; we see them all the time: the top-performers at work; the super-parents who seem to do it all; the school colleagues who are beautiful, talented, rich, kind, socially active, and never seem to get tired; the people at the gym who seem to do everything well and look great doing it; the neighbors who seem to just "have it together" and make it all look so easy.

There is also a lot of Silver we see - people who do well, but maybe not everything goes right, all of the time. They're not perfect, but they don't have to be. They achieve a lot, just not the most. But they seem to master things more often than not.

When we see Bronze, we're seeing people with lives who are getting most things right - but maybe certain flaws get in the way of full achievement. The actress who wins awards, but gets in trouble with her alcohol abuse. The politician who does great things for many people, but gets caught in a scandalous lie. The businessperson who builds great wealth - but they did it through some kind of exploitation. They would be great, except for, well, something that prevents greatness.

Then there are people who don't win medals, but they participate handsomely in life. They don't stand out, but only a few of us can really stand out at any one time - that's what "standing out" is. Most of us might fit in this category, and that's OK. They just do their "sport", day after day, and enjoy the playing - even if major glory and recognition never find them.

And there are those who don't even qualify to play the Life Game: criminals, people who don't even try, people who are too busy interrupting and undermining others' dreams to ever really achieve their own. We've all seen, or known, these types. Losers. Busybodies. Haters. Freeloaders. Exploiters. Douchebags. You don't want to be "that guy" (or girl).

What's keeping us down? What kind of "score deductions" are keeping us from "medaling" at Life? Do we need more dedication? More practice? More self-confidence? More skills-training? More 'luck' (which is when Preparation meets Opportunity)? Less resistance from others? More support from others? More attention paid to detail? More strength and effort from us? A better track to run on, pool to swim in, or equipment to work on (our environment)? We can't raise our scores to go for Gold unless we know what the score deductions are for. These are the items that therapy can address, and does, with many, often.

We don't have to medal at Life. We can just participate - besides, after all the Olympic athletes wear their medals and stand at attention as their national anthem is played, what do they do? In many cases, they go right back out and run on the track, or swim in the pool, or workout on the equipment. They go back to doing what they love. Winning the medal is nice, but getting there is way more than half the fun, before and after. And for all Olympians, eventually, they need to master more than one "game", if for no other reason than age and physicality change over time.

So if you're not medaling at Life, maybe you need a different game to choose. Maybe you need to troubleshoot your performance with someone you trust, and consider getting coaching/therapy to get better at it. Life is not a competition, except with yourself. You're not being judged, except by your own conscience and your own standards of what works for YOU, now.

Maybe, after the torch is extinguished, it's not whether you win or lose - it's how you played the game. For most of us, that's the Gold right there.

Overcoming The Original Sin and Finding Safe Guidance

Psychologists and life coaches believe that all answers are in each individual. They help all individuals draw out the answers that already are inside them. They don't tell anyone what to do. They simply ask everyone several questions to help them draw the answers they need.

Do you believe you already know the solutions to your problems?

Do you believe you should trust professionals who tell you that you must be the one who will find the answers you need?

They simply ask you your opinion about how could possibly solve your problems. They don't help you find solutions. They are afraid to tell you what to do because they don't know what is good or bad, and they ignore numerous details about your case.

The guidance you must follow is the guidance given by the wise unconscious mind in your own dreams. The unconscious mind has a divine origin and knows everything about you and your life.

I found sound mental health and I learned how to put an end to all mental illnesses thanks to my obedience to the unconscious guidance in dreams. My obedience puts an end to the original sin proving to the world that we must trust the divine guidance.

The original sin is an innate tendency to evil in the human race, which is transmitted from Adam to the race in consequence of his sin. The original sin represents the disobedience of the human being to God's guidance.

Adam disobeyed God's warning and ate the prohibited fruit, which was given to him by Eve, who disobeyed God's warning before him because of the snake's suggestion.

The snake in dreams represents a bad event that will put an end to a serious mistake. After disobeying God's guidance, human beings were punished by having to abandon the Garden of Eden, which was like a paradise.

Human beings had to suffer in order to purify their spirits because they were disobedient. They couldn't learn how to become wise without suffering.

After discovering the sanctity of the unconscious mind, and after discovering the existence of our wild conscience, I managed to prove that we must obey God's guidance without doubting His wisdom. We are ignorant and absurd, while the divine guidance cures mental illnesses and physical diseases.

We must fight our inner tendency to evil. We necessarily need God's guidance in order to find health, love, peace, and happiness. Alone we can only find terror and despair. This is why our world is a living hell.

Everyone in our world is a selfish hypocrite. Even those who supposedly represent God on Earth disobey God's guidance. They try to adapt this guidance to the concepts of the absurd modern civilization.

If you want to escape the tragic destiny of those who are victims of their wild nature, you should follow the wise guidance of the unconscious mind in your dreams. The unconscious mind tells you what to do, but without directly giving you the answers you need.

You have to look for these answers by following the unconscious clues in your dreams. This way, the unconscious mind helps you develop your intelligence. You learn how to discover the solutions you need by yourself, without depending on your guide. You are independent researcher. However, you are helped in many ways.

You don't waste your time looking for solutions in a desert. The unconscious mind helps you directly find the right path.

Other times, the unconscious mind tells you what you must avoid by sending you a clear warning. You have to always obey the guidance you have, even when you disagree with this guidance because you are ignorant, lazy, and selfish. Don't eat a prohibited fruit if you'll have this warning in a dream.

Which Comes First, You or Your Car?

For the past eight years, I have been privileged to travel and share with many hundreds of people around health and wellness topics. As my exposure to others increased, I began to realize that most of my audience placed very little emphasis upon self-care. I began to formulate the idea that we really do pay more attention to the needs of our cars than to our own.

When asked if they would put duct tape over a red warning light on their dashboard and hope it goes away, everyone agreed that this would be a ridiculous thing to do. After all, ignoring the signal could mean major mechanical problems or, even worse, a serious accident. It just makes no sense to anyone to pretend and hope that the problem will go away. So why, then, do we duct tape our body's symptoms and hope they, too, will just disappear if we ignore them?

In today's crazy world of multi-everything, taking care of ourselves lies at the bottom of the to do list. This is especially true of women. We have been taught to place the needs of everyone else before our own. When asked if they would give up the quiet bath at the end of a hectic day if someone they cared about needed them, nearly every hand goes up in the room. What about the old caution to put your oxygen mask on first if the plane is going down?

Many of us are like the old Energizer Bunny. We just keep going, no matter what. It is only when symptoms we keep ignoring begin to affect our every day life that we are forced to reflect upon what these headaches, chronic pains, sleeplessness, weight gain, indigestion, and so many other signals might be telling us. Our bodies are actually designed to support us through one hundred and twenty wonderful years. Most gasp at the mere thought of enduring life on this planet for that long. But, given proper physical, spiritual, and emotional support, these beautiful vessels can sail us through years of joy and growth. After all, there are indigenous people all over the world who live even longer and still have smiles on their faces. Why not us?

I think it is the perfect time to begin to look at self-care as a necessity and not a luxury. Let's begin to explore this whole concept together!

The Stress of Following a Weight Loss Program Could Be Fattening

When you are trying to follow a really intensive weight loss program your life can become very stressful. You have to think about all of the places you go to eat, what type of foods you are allowed, how much of any type of food are you allowed, and is the restaurant you are eating dinner at tonight going to let you have the Chef's Special without sauces, butter or any other integral part of the recipe? What is more alarming that incurring a chef's displeasure though, is that the stress you are putting yourself through so you can lose a few (or a lot of) pounds, can be making it harder for you to lose weight at all.

Stress can contribute to increased weight gain in three major ways. Firstly studies have shown that many people are prone to eat comfort foods (those yummy things you eat when you feel a bit down, and that have no nutritional value at all) when they are feeling stressed. If you eat to feel better then you are going to be compromising your weight loss efforts.

A second way that stress can cause you to gain weight is that stress causes your body to release the hormone Cortisol. Cortisol is only released in the body during times of stress or danger to help divert your body's resources to the places where it is needed the most for fight or flight. Unfortunately when cortisol is raging around your blood system your body is going to store the energy taken from the foods you eat and store it into fat in case it needs that energy at a later stage. A second problem with this issue is that the body doesn't know the difference between your stress at being stuck in a traffic jam and your stress from meeting up with an uncaged tiger.

The third issue with stress is found in people who live a totally stressful life from one day to the next. Whether the stress is real or imagined, the human body will respond in the same way. If Cortisol is being released virtually every day over time the body starts to build a protective layer of solid belly fat around the major organs. While the body feels it is protecting you, solid belly fat can signal some major health problems if the fat reaches a level where it starts to impede the normal functions of these organs.

Carrying On With Joy and Peace

Every day is an anniversary of the passing of a loved one - whether it is ours, a friend's, or someone we do not even know or have a relationship with. The loved one can be a person, a beloved animal companion or a place that we no longer call home that may still be dear to us. Well meaning people may tell us to just 'carry on' or 'move on' and we wonder how it is that we can accomplish this in the face of such grief.

While there is no disputing the usual stages of grief, and we must make time for that process; there is a time that we move from grief to a space that is different and yet just as powerful in its capacity to encompass emotion and energy. The old saying 'carrying on' can take form of a new meaning to utilize this new and dynamic space.

We can choose with intention to Carry On with Joy, Peace and Love. This new and dynamic Carrying On leaves behind the tired, old and worn out energy of 'carrying on' or 'moving on' that many are accustomed to feeling. We accomplish this by bringing the energy and memory of our loved ones into our heart spaces and then we can allow Carrying On to bring us to a space of renewal. In this way we can allow ourselves to find peace and joy in each moment knowing that our loved ones are safe within our heart space.

This type of Carrying On also celebrates the age-old cycle of life and death in that it brings renewal back full circle to us after the dormant stage - just as it does in all of nature. Our renewal encompasses our loved ones as we move forward with the knowledge that they reside with us in spirit rather than 'being left behind'. With certainty, this process is as unique as there are individuals in terms of timing and the ebb and flow of cycles. This too can be completed with a measure of peace if we so allow.

Within the space of Carrying On with Peace & Joy there is also a measure of honor. We honor both our loved ones and our true inner essence by our intention to live life to its fullest extent being centered in the present moment. Within the present moment we will always find our true essence and its natural connection with divine presence in our lives.

How to Have a Positive Attitude Despite Different Challenges in Life

How to have a positive attitude: this is a question that must be answered by all people especially those who would normally face different challenges in their lives. Suffering from a bad mood after a long day at work? Feeling stressed because of problems at home? There are different ways for you to change your mood -- and outlook -- from negative to positive. Although the change may not come in an instant, you can assure that your mindset will be better after some significant amount of practice.

How to Have a Positive Attitude: Understanding That Not Every Day is Yours

If you want to maintain a positive outlook in life, it would be best not to expect that everything will go according to how you envision things. The odds will sometimes be against you. Once you are able to make yourself understand that the world doesn't revolve around you, you will slowly learn how to adjust your sails in order for you to move along the current and the wind. This will allow you to change your mood and outlook as the situation requires so, making you more adjustable and in the long run, you can keep on thinking positively at all times.

Effective Ways on How to Have a Positive Attitude When Faced with Challenges

Below are ways on how you can pick yourself up when you are faced with challenges that you didn't expect, or those who would always go back time and time again to tease you.

Listen or watch to inspirational stuff. Watch your favorite movie or TV series. Listen to your favorite singles and albums. All of these can be done instantly, thanks to modern technology. Whenever you feel bad mood knocking, you need not wait to go home for you to quickly change your mood. You can always tune in to your iPod or if allowed, turn on your office computer's media player. This is a quick fix for almost all mood swing bouts.

Change the way you move. If your bad moods are being triggered, you can try to change your body moves and acts, and your mood will change as well. For instance, if you are starting to feel angry, force a smile out of your face and keep it there for at least a minute. Meanwhile, if you need to relax or feel more confident, stand up, hold your head and back straight. For best effects, do both at the same time and you will slowly feel lighter on the inside.

Appreciate your current situation -- and everything else in your way. This is one of the quickest way on how to have a positive attitude. Appreciate your clothes: how do they make you look adorable today? Appreciate your food: how good did it taste? Appreciate your boss: what are his positive traits? There are a lot of things around you that you can appreciate and make you realize that life is still full of cheer.

Workout. Exercising is something that can help you achieve positivity and maintain it in a longer period of time. Through exercising, you will feel more confident about yourself that will support your positive outlook. Furthermore, scientifically speaking, working out can stimulate chemicals in the brain that can make you feel happier and relaxed. Exercising also provides you with more energy -- more energy to face life's challenges.

Having a positive attitude is a necessity. However, problems can really be too much for one to handle. Fortunately, there are resources online that can give you bright ideas on how to have a positive attitude when things get rough.

Reading God's Words in Dreams

Carl Jung managed to discover that the unconscious mind is the dream producer, and not our own imagination. I managed to continue Jung's research and discover that we must obey the unconscious guidance in dreams with gratitude.

The unconscious mind that produces our dreams has a saintly nature. The unconscious wisdom proves God's existence and sanctity.

This means that the messages you have in dreams are more important than what Carl Jung could perceive with the knowledge he had. Your dreams show you how your destiny will be unfolded in the future and what you have to do in order to avoid possible problems and prepare the results you desire.

Your dreams show you what is happening in your psychological system, and what is happening in the psychological system of those who are around you. Your dreams teach you the meaning of life, and the meaning of death. You learn everything you ignore.

You only have to translate the meaning of dreams with the right method in order to have this vision.

The unconscious mind gives you lessons that help you become a perfect human being and purify your spirit. You are prepared for the continuation of your journey after death. Nothing begins or ends on Earth. The atheistic concepts of the materialistic modern civilization are very far from the truth.

The scientific method of dream interpretation gives to the world scientific proof of God's existence, clarifying all mysteries. This proof is valid because the wisdom contained in the messages we discover in the dream images cannot come from an ignorant human mind.

The scientific dream translations are superior translations that accurately translate the meaning of the dream language, without supposing anything. This is why they transcribe God's words in dreams.

Carl Jung believed that the unconscious mind is 'a good counselor' for the human being, while it is the mind of a genius, and the mind of a perfect angel. The unconscious mind is not only a natural organ that merely provides us with free psychotherapy in the dream images. The unconscious mind is God, our father.

The surprising importance of the meaning of dreams will completely change the world.

Through dream interpretation based on the scientific method you can learn God's words without the distortions you find in all religions of the world. The members of each religion have distorted the real value of the religious lessons they had. By translating the meaning of dreams with the right method, you are able to directly understand God's words, without human interventions.

This was a spectacular experience for me after passing through six years of atheism during my adolescence, after suffering from a tragic car accident when I was 15-years-old. I became a revolted teen. I used to attack the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church because I studied in a Catholic school. I saw that there was no goodness from the nuns with the students who couldn't pay our expensive school. There were no exceptions to this rule.

I started noticing many mistakes in the functioning of our school. Then, I started thinking about all the mistakes of the members of the Catholic Church in general terms, and I became even more revolted with my religion.

When many years later I had the chance to understand God's words in dreams, I saw that there is a big difference between learning God's teachings from human beings (who supposedly transmit God's words) or learning God's teachings in dream messages.

When you translate the meaning of dreams with the scientific method you have the privilege to directly talk with God and understand all mysteries. You are not misled by false information or distortions of the truth.

This is an extraordinary alternative that surpasses all the alternatives of the ignorant world. When everyone will understand the real importance of the meaning of dreams everyone will study the dream language, without a doubt.

Christina Sponias continued Carl Jung's research into the human psyche, discovering the cure for all mental illnesses, and simplifying the scientific method of dream interpretation that teaches you how to exactly translate the meaning of your dreams, so that you can find health, wisdom and happiness.

There Is More Than One Way to Get Fat

If you listen to any "expert" on the obesity epidemic long enough you soon realize that most of them figure that the only reason people get fat is because they eat too much and sit on their couch all day. But weight gain is far more complex than that. Medications, various life stages, hormonal imbalances and more can all cause those unwanted pounds to creep onto your body and then refuse to get off.

If you live a relatively active lifestyle and you eat a good balance of foods, in theory you shouldn't gain any additional weight as you get older. But a lot of older people do gain weight even when other aspects in their lifestyle haven't changed. If this is happening to you then a visit to your local doctor might be a good idea to see what is happening with your hormone levels, or to ensure that you don't have an underlying problem with your thyroid glands for example.

If you are on anti-depressant medication then this can also be the reason you have gained unwanted weight. Check with the side effects of any medication that you are taking to ensure that you are not being influenced by changes to your metabolism or the way your body processes the foods you eat. Also steroids taken for asthma can also cause you to gain weight, which can be equally difficult to shift.

Stress can often be one of the main causes of an unexpected weight gain. When you are under stress your body produces cortisol which puts the body into its fight or flight response mechanism. When the body is in this state blood is drawn away from the digestive system to be used in other areas of the body.

Long term stress can result in your body converting sugars into fat around your middle body area - your body is trying to protect your major organs. Unfortunately too much fat in that region can cause pressure on those same major organs which can lead to major health problems.

Because of the complexity evident in how we are all getting bigger, it makes sense that the diet programs that are based on the assumption that you are eating too much and doing too little, are not going to be overly effective. For example if a weight program that simply advises the user to eat a lot of fruit and vegetables while taking a ten mile hike, is used by a woman who is actually overweight because she lives in a stressful environment, then the woman is not going to lose any weight. What is worse is that he or she will also feel like they have failed as opposed to thinking there was any failure evident in the dieting program.

More information on the different reasons why some people get fat when others don't, such as a low iron count, pregnancy and childbirth, and more information on stress can be found in "The Happiness Diet: How to lose weight quickly and with a minimum of fuss", by Lisa Oliver - You can search for it on Amazon.com.

Health Habits: Build Yourself Up

The NEWSS Is Good For Construction Workers

I can't say I'm much of a "handy man." When it comes to my career, I'm a writer, not a builder. And when something needs fixing around the house, I'm still a writer - I write checks to professionals who are much better than I am at the handyman thing.

That's not to say I haven't tried honest work, or that there aren't those who've tried to teach me how to do things like hammer a nail or turn a wrench. In fact, whether in the paid employ of a construction firm in my early working days, or as a volunteer helper on projects for friends (especially, as I recall, for the fathers of potential girlfriends), I've actually gained more experience in construction work than my kids would believe. I've helped demolish and renovate a house. I've installed insulation. I've hung drywall and laid flooring. I've done lots of trim carpentry, and even a little framing (mostly, I carried plywood for the guys who knew what they were doing). I've even done some painting without ruining whatever it was I was trying to spruce up.

When it comes to construction, I'm still a writer. But I have been close enough to construction work to learn that it's tough, demanding, and often dangerous.

A recent study published by the Center for Construction Research and Training bears that out. The researchers found that almost all construction workers end up experiencing at least one work-related injury or illness in their lifetime, and they run a greater-than-average risk of premature death. Death! Writers don't die prematurely at as great a rate, I'm happy to say... unless, perhaps, they try to add a room to their house.

According to the Center's study, a construction worker has a 75% chance of a disabling injury, and a one-in-two-hundred chance of being fatally injured on the job, over the course of a 45-year career. And lest you think we're just talking about taking a steel beam to the head, a person who starts a construction career at age 20 has a 15% chance of developing COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and an 11% chance of developing dust-related paranchymal changes in their chest x-ray.

Ugh!

If you're a construction worker, please don't quit. We writers need you, believe me. But make sure you keep yourself strong enough to be one of the 25% who doesn't let your work disable you. Build a solid lifestyle with the five key daily health habits I call The NEWSS: Nutrition (start by cutting out the garbage from your diet), Exercise (get 3-6 good workouts a week, and make sure you don't neglect your aerobic exercise because you think you get enough at work), Water (drink two liters every day, and more if you're working up a sweat), Sleep (get eight hours every night), and Supplements (take at least one good daily multi-nutrient).

Construction workers would also benefit greatly from regular visits to the chiropractor (to keep your frame healthy) and from periodic cleanses (to keep the pipes in your digestive system unclogged).

Construction is a noble profession, and the rest of us are awed and envious at the things you guys can do. Make sure your health habits are good enough to keep you around, doing those amazing things, for a good long time to come.

The Link Between Financial Stresses and Poor Health

Over the past couple of years, especially since the recent global recession has taken place, there has been a strong link observed in between someone's poor mental condition and financial stress. Financial stress has become an area of alarming concern for medical professionals as more and more people are now suffering health problems. Not to forget, Americans are having hard time to cope up with rising costs of living after the financial recession. Whether the price rise is seen in gasoline, or food, debt keeps on increasing for an average American. Financial stress is now translating into serious health hazards like sleeplessness, anxiety and tension.

Are you among one of those suffering from financial stress that you are having a hard time dealing with your routine matters? Overeating, smoking, or drinking aren't answers to your financial problems. You need proper debt counseling services from certified financial experts that can help you resolve your financial worries.

Are you afraid of rising medical costs? As costs rise and income levels stay stagnant, Americans without medical insurance are missing out on the essential health care they need for themselves. Escalating costs of covering basic necessities of life have made it difficult for a layman to cope up for medical fees and charges.

The first impact of financial problems is going to be directly upon your ability to sleep peacefully. Without adequate amount of hours dedicated to sleeping, you can neither enjoy a healthy lifestyle nor be able to focus on your routine matters.

Anxiety and frustration destroy one's ability to cope up with financial problems. As a result, it is important to stay calm during your harsh times in order to get out of your worries.

It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle making quality food choices. Once you have a healthy lifestyle, you would find yourself in a better position to cope up with debt. Consult debt counselors and see if you can get a solid advice from them. Debt counselors are expert financial consultants that devise a debt elimination plan for you and your family. Upon following this plan, you can lower down your debt and even eliminate it.

It is better to see if you qualify for government assistance programs and health benefits. Last but not the least, it would be my recommendation to try to stand up and fight the financial stresses of your life. Life is full of challenges that you need to constantly fight in order to live happily

Practicing Gratitude: Changing Our Happiness Set Point

Everyone wants to be happy. I've yet to meet any human being who said, "I love feeling weighted down with burdens, unlucky, unblessed, and totally unhappy with my life." Yet, despite happiness being what most people long for above any other human condition, many are very unhappy.

What is happiness? American Heritage defines it as: enjoying, showing, or marked by pleasure, satisfaction, or joy; characterized by good luck.

Happiness is simply a state of being. It's completely free, it cannot be bought or sold, and is available to all of us, regardless of individual circumstances. Money cannot buy happiness.

Research had taught us that we were all born with a happiness set point. This is a biologically pre-set level of happiness that determines how low, or how high (on the happiness scale) each of us can go. If an unhappy person wins an enormous amount of money playing the lottery, he or she may display an unusually high level of happiness, due to the unique circumstances. However, within a certain period of time, that individual will go back to his "normal" level of happiness, and will again be the unhappy person that he was before winning the lottery. On the other hand, if a very happy person finds himself in a very sad situation-perhaps a serious accident that permanently and severely limits his mobility-after his initial period of grief, he will again return to being the happy person that he was before his accident. This has been shown to have happened to some who became paralyzed. After the initial grieving and time needed to adjust to a different life style, the person who was happy before will be happy again, even with physical limitations.

Lucky for us, there is a way to change our happiness set point. Practicing gratitude has been shown to change the biological structure of our brains. This is accomplished through neuroplasticity. Simply put - our brains have the ability to grow new neurons that physiologically change the structure of our brains.

Becoming a happier person influences not only the present moment, but attracts more good things into our lives. Positive energy attracts more positive energy. Have you noticed how those who appear to have bad luck, and believe they are born to be unlucky, have bad luck that follows them wherever they go? This used to baffle me. Why are some people cursed with this unlucky streak, while others can slip on a pile of dog poo, and find a $100 dollar bill nestled in the center of it?

It's called the law of attraction. We attract the things that we think about. This isn't voodoo, or a pie-in-the-sky belief system. This is reality. Thoughts are energy, just as our emotions, actions, and physical bodies are pure energy. Energy attracts like energy. Sadness attracts more sadness. Happiness attracts more happiness. It's a law of the Universe.

"You don't need to own anything to feel abundant, although if you feel abundant consistently things will almost certainly come to you. Abundance comes only to those who already have it. It sounds almost unfair, but of course it isn't. It is a universal law. Both abundance and scarcity are inner states that manifest as your reality." ~ Eckhart Tolle

Happiness makes humans healthy. It lowers our blood pressure, builds our immunity, helps us to sleep better at night, helps us to handle stress, and just makes our life worth living. On a more spiritual note, happy people are kinder to those around them. Happy people are more loving, more forgiving, and more inclined to naturally give without expecting a reward in return.

This may sound a bit overly simplified, but if the people who inhabit this earth were all happier, there would be far less war, famine, oppression, violence, domestic abuse, and intentional pain caused by the hands of human beings.

But can we truly will ourselves to be happier? The answer is a big, "Yes!" Happiness can be cultivated by practicing gratitude.

What does it mean to practice gratitude? Just like any skill that we hope to improve, gratitude needs to be practiced on a regular basis. Practicing gratitude makes us aware of the many gifts that we have to be thankful for. It forces us to take our thoughts away from our perceived deprivation, and to dwell upon the good things that we do have. It begins to influence the way that we feel. It allows us to have the intention to look for the good, rather than the bad in our lives. It attracts more things to be thankful for. It changes our mindset. It changes our happiness set point. In reality, it can change our life and our health and our future.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." ~ Melody Beattie

What do we have to be grateful for? Although they may not appear obvious until we practice noticing these gifts, there are so many things to be grateful for. These include our health, our children, our parents, our friends and family, a roof over our heads, food on our table, nature, animals, sunsets, good food, education, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, intellect, sense of humor, and the list goes on.

Gratitude can be tough for those who are facing recent loss, struggling with depression, illness, financial struggles, or personal circumstances that are difficult or painful. But there is always a reason to be grateful. If you are alive, you can be thankful for another day. We can be thankful for changes that we have made in our lives, or for significant people who have influenced us in positive ways. If we are hard pressed to find something in the present to be grateful for, we can be grateful for something that has happened in our past, or for something that we are looking forward to in our future.

We can be grateful for our trials, knowing that out of fire, comes a diamond.

Practicing gratitude may feel forced or unnatural in the beginning. Do it anyway, even if the things that you are thankful for do not bring up warm and fuzzy feelings. As you keep practicing, it will become easier and more natural.

How to Practice Gratitude:

• Keep a gratitude journal. I think this is the most successful way to cultivate gratitude. The journal can be as simple or as elaborate as you want. A dollar store spiral notebook or a beautiful store bought or homemade journal all work well. Everyday, make a list of all the things that you are grateful for. Be very specific. Small things matter. At the top of the page, write, "I'm grateful for," and then use bullets or numbers to list them on the page. This can be done at bedtime, or anytime that fits your lifestyle or preference. If it's tough to come up with a list, make sure that you find at least five things to write down. Just the act of looking for things to be grateful for, and then writing them down, makes you more aware of the abundance in your life. It's nice to read over the list, and to be reminded of good things that have already happened to us.

In addition to a list, you can pick one thing and write about it, if you'd like to. You can write one paragraph, or two pages. It's up to you.

• Write thank you notes and letters. If someone has done something kind for you, write them a note or a letter, and let them know how you feel. Everyone loves to be appreciated, and a note or letter could brighten someone's day. You can keep a pile of pre-stamped postcards, to make it easier for you to just write a small heartfelt thank you and drop it into the mailbox.

• Take the time to say thank you to others throughout your day. Notice the kindnesses that others do for you, and take the time to thank them for it. It can be as simple as opening a door for you, or as elaborate as cooking you a meal. Show gratitude.

• Say grace, and remember to be thankful for the food that you eat. Don't take your food for granted.

• Practice gratitude in the present moment. This may be difficult in the beginning. As you find gratitude becoming more natural, it will get easier for you to be thankful, in the moment, for the abundance in your life.

•Before you get out of bed in the morning, be mindful of the things that you are grateful for. It may help to look over the list from the day before.

• Be creative. If you're up for it, create a gratitude board or word cloud. The board can have words, drawings, or pictures of any of the things that you're thankful for. Hang it some place where you can easily see it. You can start a gratitude scrapbook, and be as creative as you'd like!

Consider using gratitude beads. Hold a set of beads in your hand, and for every bead that you touch, recite another thing that you are grateful for.

I like the idea of a gratitude jar. Find an empty jar or vase. Everyday, for each thing on your list, drop one marble into the jar. (You can also use stones, sea shells, or beads.) Seeing the jar fill up can be a reminder of how your gratitude is growing, and of all of the things that you have to be thankful for.

• Commit to practicing gratitude. Commit to beginning and continuing this practice. Make a promise to stick with it for a certain period of time. It may take a while. It also may change your life, in unexpected ways, in a relatively short period of time. Don't be hard on yourself. If you have been unhappy for a long time, it may take practice to have gratitude come naturally. Stick with it. Try different ways to incorporate gratitude into your day-to-day life, until you are more naturally aware of the good things that surround you. The more you practice, the easier it will get. As time goes by, your commitment will pay off with an increased level of happiness and well-being. More good will come to you by the energy that comes from your thoughts and your feelings. You'll find so much more to be thankful for.

"You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you." ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach

The Key to Getting Motivated

No matter what your situation is, at some point in time you will be in need of some motivation or inspiration to move forward. It is absolutely inevitable for you to make it through life without the help of others, but where should you look? There are billions of people in this world, which ones should you look to for motivation? Who are the good role models?

There are many things to consider when looking for motivation. Is the person you are looking at in good standing? Do they have good morals and virtues? If yes, then they are probably a good start for your list. It also helps if you have a personal connection with the person, maybe something deeper than a casual greeting every now and then. What I mean is, look at people that you see every day, people like your family and friends. These are the people who will be the most effective as a source of motivation.

People like your parents or brothers and sisters are great motivators. Or maybe some one in your family is the creator of a new charity, they would be a great role model and someone to motivate you to also do well like them.

Maybe you have a successful uncle who made it big in the stock market, you should be talking to him trying to suck up as much knowledge as you can. You should take his success as a motivator and follow in his footsteps. Following a family member is one of the easiest things to do usually, because they are more than welcome to share some knowledge with another family member.

Also, if you are an athlete looking for motivation, look at some of the members of the older generation of your sport. For example, if you are a swimmer, you could look up to Michael Phelps or Mark Spitz, both of which were amazing athletes. Or you could look up to Ryan Lochte who is an up-and-comer challenging and sometimes beating Phelps.

If you take part in another sport, you should look for an athlete from your sport if you please. Basketball players could look up to some of the greats like Michael Jordan or LeBron James.

It really does not matter who you choose as your role model, it is as long as they help you accomplish your goal. It does not matter if they physically help you or just give you the motivation to complete whatever it is. The hardest part sometimes can be finding a motive, so look in these places next time you are stuck in a sticky situation.

Embodying the Divine Feminine: 13 Tips for Juicing Up Your Daily Life

Embodying the Divine Feminine-13 Daily Tips

The Divine Feminine has many faces and shows up in many different ways in each of our lives-whether we are embodied as women or an men. I have found it helpful to explore these aspects through 13 different faces of the divine feminine-or archetypes-as laid out in the work of Ariel Spilsbury, author of the 13 Moon Oracle and co-author of the Mayan Oracle. Below is everyday wisdom that I have gleaned from working with these 13 archetypes over the past years.

1. Wisdom from the Great Mother: Feed the Feminine First! BEGIN each day doing something that deeply nurtures your feminine side. If you wait to do it later in the day, it will likely not happen. For me, feeding the feminine first means waking up without an alarm clock, allowing myself to take time to note my dreams before getting out of bed. It means making a slow cup of tea to start my day and spending a little time out in the garden-before I open my computer for the day. Feeding the feminine first means starting my day with JOY!

2. Wisdom from Compassion: Cultivate self love. Many of us spend much of our life attempting to gain love from those around us. We wonder why our partner doesn't love us in exactly the way we want to be loved, or why our boss doesn't appreciate us more. At the root of these symptoms is often a certain lack of self love. Here's an exercise I suggest to cultivate deeper self love. It's called the Mirror Exercise. I am providing a slightly modified version from the one taught to me by Jack Canfield. Stand in front of a mirror each night before bed, look into your own eyes, and tell yourself all the reasons why you are wonderful, loveable, and worthy of appreciation. Use specific examples from the day. Spend a few minutes on this exercise, and at the end, look yourself in the eye and say "I love you!" For more details on this exercise, see tinyurl dot com/jmirror and scroll down to the section called Mirror Exercise.

3. Wisdom from the Priestess: Schedule unstructured time. Our Western culture tends to be ruled by the clock. We have a tendency to have very full, busy lives, with insufficient "down time." It's common to be holding down a worldly job while also attending to the needs of our partner, family and home. A good dose of unstructured time is a needed antidote to this fast-paced, highly-planned lifestyle. And we often need to put this unstructured time into our calendar or it will never materialize. In this time, we give ourselves permission to listen to that still small voice inside us. Ask yourself, "what would be most enjoyable or nurturing way to spend this time? What am I needing right NOW?" You may want to simply sit in your room and listen to music. Or play with your child or your pet. Or take a bath. Or read a book. Whatever will bring you joy in the moment is the RIGHT answer for you. So stop. Ask. Listen. And when you get a soulful answer, act on it! You'll find that you feel much more spacious and joyful in your life.

4. Wisdom from the Creator/Destroyer: Set clear intentions. As human beings, we have the potential to be incredibly powerful creators. But it's quite common that we are actually NOT living the life of our dreams or fulfilling our aspirations. One of the root causes we don't end-up creating our desired future is that we don't set clear intentions for what we want to create. So ask yourself what you truly want to create in your life, and write down the answer in great detail. I especially recommend doing this exercise each month during the new moon phase, and then working with each phase of the moon for full cycle (28 days) to incubate the dream and move it towards manifestation.

5. Wisdom from the Lady of Communion: Connect with nature. Nature is the living, breathing, Great Mother or Gaia herself. As we spend time in nature we attune with Her rhythms, Her sounds, her organic pace for unfolding in the Universe. I find that my worries seem quite insignificant when standing among the ancient trees-merely blips on the radar screen of life. In nature, I imagine how many children have been born, beloveds have died, wars have been fought, and kisses exchanged-and the trees just keep on growing, unruffled by it all. Spend time in nature, and allow her to teach you through her infinite, timeless wisdom. The is full of answers if we are willing to humbly ask for her guidance.

6. Wisdom from the Muse: Create play dates. We humans can be such serious creatures! And part of the incredible joy and magic of children is that they bring a sense of wonder, jubilance and magic back into our lives. But our own inner children need to come out and play more often! We need to create safe spaces where we can put on our fairy wings and take a ride on the back of laughter. So find a friend or two who might be willing to explore for a day and see the world through the eyes of a child! The only limitations are your own imagination!

7. Wisdom from the Goddess of Love: Presence beauty Delight the senses. Have you ever noticed the way that your heart opens when faced with something of extreme beauty? Whether it be an incredible sunset, a gorgeous piece of music, or an ornately decorated building, we all seem to be captivated by deep beauty. The age old act of giving a bouquet of flowers is a simple way we can share beauty with another-and it's almost always appreciated. But while we often do experience beauty through our sight, we often forget to titillate our other senses in a deep way. Yet all of the senses are a profound portal to access the Divine. As you activate the senses, you can access deep & limitless ecstasy if you allow your being to fully open and expand.

Here's an exercise you can try. It's ideal to do with a partner, but you can do it alone as well. Close your eyes (or use a blindfold), and invite your partner to give you a tour through the sensate realm. If you are alone, do the honors yourself. Deeply open to the scent of a flower wafted before your nose. Taste the burst of flavor of a perfectly ripened berry or chocolate delight. Surrender into the tickle of a feather on your skin. Listen deeply to the tinkle of a bell at your ears. Fully give yourself permission to ENJOY these divine gifts! And return the favor to your partner later.

8. Wisdom from the Initiator: Use your POWER. In the social circles I frequent, there's a lot of talk about women's empowerment. In contrast, I attended a recent lecture by Marianne Williamson, in honor of July 4th, where she asserted that the issue is NOT empowerment. "We're empowered!" she says. The issue is that women are often afraid to use their power-fearing it will be seen as unfeminine or bitchy. Whether or not you agree with Marianne, many folks (both women and men alike) are not comfortable wielding a lot of power. And for good reason. Power has been mis-used over and over again through the centuries. And power that is not wielded in a clean way can cause deep and often unnecessary destruction.â?¨But this truism does not mean we should avoid wielding power altogether. Instead, we need to cultivate our own consciousness to be clean and clear so that we can wield power in a way that liberates and serves the greater good. One of the most important ways we can use our power is by speaking our truth. This can be especially uncomfortable in situations where one feels more vulnerable than others in a given dynamic. But if we are truly coming from a clear place, then speaking our truth can be an act of reclaiming our power and liberating energy for all.

9. Wisdom from the Primal Face: Be wild, instinctual, and free! We are all animals at the core. Yet the primal nature has been severely tamed in most of the folks I encounter. I used to be quite tame myself too, until I realized the deep passion & vitality that is unleashed when allowing my primal nature to lead. So why do these primal instincts can seem scary? I would guess that it's an issue of control. When the instincts lead, we are NOT in control of everything that happens, and life's experiences cannot be packaged in a neat little box with a clean label. Primal energy is free flowing, moves of its own accord, and doesn't play by the rules of morality. It can be messy, driven by libido, seeking adventure, sex and pleasure. The primal often stays out late and runs with the moon. And while it may not be appropriate to give way to this energy all of the time, I recommend allowing it some of the time-lest your life become flat and passionless.

It seems that certain cultures have found a way to be in a healthy balance with this energy. I spend a year living in Brazil, where a week of Bacchanalian Carnival is a celebrated part of every year. In general, it seems that the whole country has a free pass for the week, and otherwise scandalous behavior is fully allowed. Kisses flow freely on the streets, as does the hip shaking Samba dancing-complete with scantily clad dancers. While I didn't personally love every minute of Carnival (I was too uptight back then), it did seem to provide a needed release valve for a lot of primal energy that might otherwise have been released in less desirable ways.

10. Wisdom from the Wise Elder: Follow your heart-knowing. We all have the ability to tap into the wisdom of our heart and know what is true for us. Whether it is knowing if a relationship or job is right for us, knowing who we can or cannot trust, knowing if we are meant to go in a certain direction, etc., if we really follow our heart, we will not go astray. However, many of us are out of practice in following our hearts. We have developed habit patterns of relying primarily on our thinking minds and many of us only look to our heart wisdom secondarily. As a result, we may wake up one day and realize that we have made choices that are out of alignment with our highest knowing and our truth. But it's never to late to begin to start listening to your heart and following it!

11. Wisdom from the Weaver/Dreamer: Dream. Believe. Weave. In order to manifest your dreams, you first need to create space for these dreams to be imagined and articulated! If you were not constrained by time or money, what would be the big dream for your life? Who have you been inspired to be and/or what have you always felt called to do in this lifetime? Once you have allowed the big dreams to come forward, you need to believe that it is possible for you to live your dream. And this is not an easy task. Most of us have many self-sabotaging belief systems that smother our dreams before we even attempt to breathe life into them. So this is a place for a level of deep inner work to heal the "not good enough" syndrome that plagues so many people. And once you are clear about your dream and are confident in your ability to manifest it, then it is time to weave it into action! This weaving happens through taking small steps each day to move the dream into manifestation. And then sharing your dream with others so they can be a part of its unfolding. This process may sound too simple, but it represents the core principals of manifestation.

12. Wisdom from the Queen of Death: Let go and surrender! There are those times in life when wisdom guides us to release and let go-let go a beloved who has died, let go of a situation no longer serving us, let go of possessions or titles that have run their course, let go of old beliefs that are no longer aligned with our truth, etc. And while our Western culture tends to largely fear and avert death processes, it can often be a release that serves as a pre-requisite for a re-birth waiting to happen to happen on the other side. As the seasons naturally cycle from Spring to Winter, so our own lives cycle through births and deaths. Learning to get comfortable with the death processes that require surrender can allow us to much more easily flow with the natural cycles of life, instead of fighting them. In turn, our life force becomes available for the next birth awaiting us.

13. Wisdom from the Alchemical Face: Radiate your essence! No two people are alike. With more than 8 billion people on the planet, we each have a unique fingerprint and sound pattern. And there is a unique and beautiful calling that your soul came here to planet Earth to manifest. This soul calling is connected to the essence of your being-that incredible radiance that is the light of your divine self. And while your bright light may be a bit covered by painful experiences in life that have caused you to cover up your light-it is still there, burning brightly! And if you need a little help to bring out your shiny self, there are many beings (including ME) whose soul purpose is to help others connect to their essence and live from that place. So find a few of these helper/healer types to be a part of your soul manifestation team. And let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!

7 Ways to Love Yourself

As human beings, we all have needs, needs such as care, affection, respect and especially love. We all want to be loved and most people spend a great amount of time waiting to be loved. Yet they wonder why it almost never comes their way. If it did, often times it leads to heartbreak. Waiting to receive love from others is not how the world works. To be able to receive love one must become lovable at first. And to become lovable one must know how to love themselves. This article will show you seven ways to love yourself.

1. Don't compare yourself to others. Comparing ourselves to others sometimes cannot be avoided. When we see someone who is more blessed we tend to wish that we could have the same things. This is good but only if you're seeking motivation so you can become better. But for some it leads to self-loathing or self-pity. If it leads to that then it would be really hard to love yourself. Only when you stop comparing yourself to others is the only way you can start loving yourself.

2. Stop seeking approval. We all seek approval from others especially from our family, friends and partner. It helps us decide on important matters and it is a good source of support. The only problem with constantly seeking for approval is that your decisions will always depend on others. That's not going to get you a lot of self-respect and you will end up miserable. When you need to decide on something such as a career change or something else that will change your life it is wise to seek advice from others but let go of the process of seeking approval. Just do it and be happy.

3. Believe that you can do it. It's really hard to love yourself if you don't believe that you can make things possible. Stop doubting yourself and gather the courage and confidence that you need if you want to achieve something. If you believe in yourself then you can do things that you thought was impossible. Life will become easier and well lived. In turn you will respect and love yourself.

4. Connect with yourself. Take some time to connect with your inner self. Find some alone time to reflect, feel what's in your heart and explore the contents of your mind. Meditation is one of the best ways. This will help you identify your weaknesses and the things that are preventing you to love yourself so you can change it. It will also help you find your strengths and realize the things that are admirable and loveable about you. Once you've found these things, keep it and nourish it.

5. Take care of yourself. Loving yourself means taking care of your body and wellbeing. Always make sure that you're in top shape by exercising every day and eating healthy. Get rid of the things that can destroy you such as vices and unhealthy habits. Nourish your mind, body, and spirit. If you feel good about yourself, you will love yourself.

6. Do good unto others. As a person made in the image and likeness of God, we are capable of doing great and good things. And that is what we should be doing. When you do something good to others how does it feel? It feels good right? You feel great. Knowing that you have goodness in you that show through your actions will grant you self-worth. If you have self-worth then you are one step closer to loving yourself.

7. Express your love. When we love someone, we do our best to express it through means of thoughtfulness, gifts, and care. If you want to love yourself then do the same. Express to yourself that you love yourself. Look at the mirror and tell yourself that you are loved. Write down a list of things that you love about yourself. Post positive statements such as "I am beautiful," "I am smart," or "I'm lovable," on some places that you see every day. Pamper yourself or buy yourself gifts. Constantly remind yourself that you are loved.

Love is a wonderful thing and sharing love is even greater. But the truth is it's hard to share something that you do not have. In order to love others, you must love yourself first in abundance. When you are already overflowing with love then that's the time that you can share and exchange love with another.

"You must love yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy."

5 Effective Tips on How to Handle Criticism

Whether you like it or not, time will come that you will receive criticism in different forms. It will definitely hurt at times especially if you're living in a world of productivity where everything should be close to perfection. Receiving criticism is often times a blow to your self-confidence and self-esteem so it is best to learn how to handle it before it hinders you or fills you with anger. Here are five effective tips on how to handle criticism.

1. Keep your mind open. Try to understand that criticism is part of your growing life. Everyone receives criticism regardless of your position in life. Even the president has the whole country ready to criticize him in any turn of events. Keep in mind that not everyone thinks like you or works the way you do. I'm sure you understand since you also criticize others when the situation arises. Only this time you might be on the receiving end. Just keep an open mind and do your best.

2. Take it positively. People criticize you because you probably have done something great or worth noticing. And that thing is still probably a little rough on the edges so people do what they do best during this kind of scenario, they criticize. It's easy to criticize than give advice. So the best way to handle this is to take criticism positively by thinking that it's their way of wanting to let you know that you still need to improve. C'mon! We both know that we can't please everyone.

3. Learn from it. Taking criticism positively is not enough if you're not doing anything to improve yourself. Of course, criticism won't go away even if you're perfect but if you're receiving the same criticism over and over again then I think you have a problem you need to address. Criticism is a like a true friend that tells you what's wrong, but instead of sugar-coating it with a hug, he slaps you silly to wake you up. When you are being criticized, try to learn everything you can so you can improve yourself.

4. Consider the source. Like I mentioned earlier, it's very easy to criticize, meaning everyone can do it and everyone will criticize you once you get their attention. The more people who criticize you, the bothered you will get. When that happens, always consider the source of criticism. For example, let's say you're walking down the street then a random stranger shouts at you and calls you stupid. Will you take that as criticism and find a way to be "not stupid'? Of course not! You don't even know each other! For all we know that person is just plain crazy. But if criticism came from a loved one or a close friend, then it pays to listen to what they have to say because they know you. Get it now? From now on always consider the source.

5. Let it go. When all else fails, this one is the simplest yet the hardest thing to do, letting it go. When criticism is too high and it's already stressing you, discouraging you, and stopping you from doing what you have to do, then just let it go. Criticism should only bother you for a short time which is enough for the whole idea to sink in and for you to do something about it. Otherwise, if it keeps going and it's starting to affect you in an unhealthy way, then it's wise to divert your attention to other things that needs your focus. Give yourself time to adjust and gather your confidence and once you feel better, get back up and do your thing.

Criticism plays a painful yet important role in our lives. It allows us to grow into mature individuals. It shouldn't hinder you but rather it should be used as a springboard to launch yourself higher and be successful.

"Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things."
~Winston Churchill
