The Quieter You Become the More Able You are to Hear ( Rumi)

"Listening to oneself" is an icon in the new age arena. Many spiritual and new age advocate the practice of” listening to oneself”. When asked to listen, most people naturally expect to hear voices. You sit for meditation, pull you full focus inward and expect to hear voices giving you specific and enlightening guidance but all you hear is the mumbling of your abdomen digesting lunch.

Can Changing The Way You Deal With Emotions- Affect Your Health?

Emotions have a direct and profound influence on physical health. I have yet to see a disease that doesn't have an emotional aspect to it. Learning how to deal with emotions in a resourceful way is vital for anyone wishing to establish long term health and well-being. The body records all feeling in the emotional realm which is also where we experience and express emotions. This includes a wide spectrum of emotions from the most primitive to sublime: Love, Hate, Sorrow, Happiness, Anxiety, Serenity, Anger, Compassion, etc.

Dealing With "Emotional Eating"

For people dealing with excess weight issues, the connection between food and emotions is very familiar. The thin and good looking woman sitting in her room consoling herself with ice-cream after having gone through significant emotional upset has become a symbol that demonstrates how we substitute dealing with emotions for food. "Emotional eating" is eating that is intended to blur or compensate for unpleasant emotions. It is not related to physiological hunger. It is a manipulation that seeks to satisfy emotional needs by substituting emotional gratification with food.

How Emotional healing Can Save Your Life

The Newtonian mechanistic approach to medicine has definitely gone bankrupt. The assumption that experiences and feelings are not primary causal factors in illness since they can’t be quantified in material terms, has been scientifically proven as incorrect. Unfortunately, the impact of these scientific findings has not yet been integrated into the main stream health care systems and it remains up to us as health consumers to educate ourselves and seek holistic health providers.

From Victim to Creator

When observing life's processes and events, many people wonder if there is a logic that determines these processes and why they go through the specific events they go through. Disciplines such as theology, psychology and philosophy and most spiritual doctrines address this question, proposing a wide range of approaches. Believing in fate or life as a continuum of coincidental circumstances rids people of the power to influence their lives in any way. In this case people are victims of fate or of an otherwise uncontrollable force that determines their life path. Believing in a highr

Are You Managing Or Managed By Your Life?

When examining the processes and situations in our lives, people often look for a system that is responsible for our life processes and why is it that they experience the specific situations of their lives. Disciplines such as theology, psychology and philosophy and most spiritual doctrines address this question, proposing a wide range of approaches.

Self-Love; The Silent Healer

Self-love is a big issue in spiritual awakening and healing processes and yet so many people experience such vast and all-encompassing self-condemnation, some to the degree of complete emotional and functional paralysis. Given the bio-chemical connection between emotions and the body, its only logical that feeling good about yourself supports the body verses negative feelings towards the self that weaken the body.r

Fate- The #1 Obstacle to Self-Awareness

There is something very misleading and incomplete in the concept that thought creates reality. Not that this statement is incorrect, but at the fundamental level, reality is created by processes much more extensive and complex than just thought. The main power of the popularity that this concept has seen in the past few years is that it initiated a process of introspection and directed more people inward to search for the causes of reality inside instead of outside themselves.

The Speaking Body- Information Based Healing

Information based healing is a new and unique type of energy work based on accessing energetic information from the body and activating it for the purpose of healing. The Science of Information Science reporter Mark Buchman wrote in New Science Magazine that “an increasing number of physicists and other kinds of scientists believe that information is a kind of subtle substance that lies behind and beneath physical stuff”. Frontier theorists view information as a guiding and organizing force in nature, a force that creates systems.
