Your Personal Symbols

A symbol represents many concepts at once, so each one is loaded with associations, many of which we may not understand. What symbols do you surround yourself with? Do you have 8-Balls or dragonflies, a Celtic knot or Chinese characters decorating your space or your person? These are your personal symbols that reflect something about your inner world. If you aren’t sure why you find yourself identifying with your symbols, you can research their meaning for clues.

Personal Growth through World Culture, Time Travel and Flights of Fancy

Our lives are made up of both inner and outer worlds, and our education and progress--as individuals and as a society--is built upon the accomplishments of those that came before us. SO, learning more about ourselves is a reflection of how much we learn about others--especially their beliefs and how they express them. World Travel is an amazing way to shake off the repetition of our daily lives and go beyond what we know about ourselves and the world. And in doing so, we enrich our lives.

Contemplating “Twilight” - Story, Symbolism, and Mythology

I had put off reading Twilight initially. Maybe it was out of loyalty to Anne Rice’s vampires. Maybe because it looked like a teenage vampire story and I thought I couldn’t relate to the kids today. Honestly, it was largely because I’m in the midst of writing my next book—still a spiritual adventure set in Sri Lanka, but a gothic and supe atural one--and I didn’t want to be influenced too much. But then I gave in. My mind needed data. I’m so glad that I did! For one thing, it made me feel young!

The Act of Creation - 2nd Chakra Stuff

Let’s face it, not everyone is going to be able to become a mother and experience the act of creation. Not only are some of us men, there are plenty of women who don’t create in that way. But that doesn’t mean that these many worthy souls are left out of the process of creation. Much like a child is created from a woman’s physical resources, our creative acts can be like our children, which is why many artists say they can’t choose a favorite from among their works.

Reiki - The Ancient Healing Art

Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing technique that uses the application and direction of life force energy to promote healing and general well-being. The word itself is a combination of two Japanese words: Rei meaning “Universe or Higher Power” and Ki, which means “life force energy”. Joined together they mean “universal life force energy”. My Reiki appointment was a chance to have a gentle, caring person guide me through my energetic anatomy to understand the ways in which various energies had manifestated physically.

Thoughts on the Themes in AVATAR

I was fortunate enough to see the film AVATAR with an insightful chick from India, who explained to me at intermission (we have those in Sri Lankan movie theaters) that the word “avatar” still has spiritual meaning to people in India, and therefore when they’re referring to the movie, they might differentiate it by pronouncing it with an American accent!

Using The Law Of Attraction To Replenish The Environment

I was watching The Secret (again) a few weeks ago and a thought came to me that we can use the Law of Attraction for the good of the environment. Law of Attraction teacher Lisa Nichols, who is featured in The Secret, says "In our society, we've become content with fighting against cancer, fighting against poverty, fighting against drugs, fighting against terrorism, fighting against violence.

Pranic Healing - Ancient Energy Work

Pranic Healing is an energy healing modality that is based on ancient Indian teachings. “Prana” is the Sanskrit word used to describe the life-force energy that flows through our chakras to make up our energetic body, and our surrounding aura. This healing technique has gone through a revival in recent decades thanks to Master Choa Kuk Suiwho spent 20 years researching, testing, practicing and organizing the ancient texts.

A Day For New Beginnings

According to my calendar, September 13th is the first day of both Rosh Hashanah and Ramadan. I find it fascinating for some reason when holidays from two different religions fall at the same time, as if there were some great coordinator in the sky spacing them out evenly across the calendar. But really, I shouldn’t be surprised that Judaism’s New Year, Rosh Hashanah, falls on the same day as Islam’s first day of Ramadan, their month of fasting, since both religions sprout from the same seed.

Reviewing A Complaint Free World

Part I – The Concept In the new book A Complaint Free World, church minister Will Bowen challenges us to go 21 days without complaining, criticizing or gossiping. It began as an idea for his Sunday sermon at the Unity Church in Kansas City, Missouri and caught on quickly. From the local newspaper to Oprah, this simple idea is catching people's attention. While "What the Bleep" and "The Secret" have shown us that our thoughts have the power to create our lives, this book gives us the tools to begin monitoring and changing our thoughts with a simple concept.

The Truth In Fairy Tales

A recent article in Live Science Magazine delved into fairy tales for glimpses of truth. Having recently seen the film The Brothers Grimm (which stars Matt Damon and the late Heath Ledger) on DVD, I was expecting to read about the real life stories that the fairy tales grew from (not that the film was exactly a documentary). But that's more history than science, more anthropology than physics, which is the sphere in which Live Science concentrated their efforts.

Vatican Releases List Of New Sins, But Are They Clear On The Law Of Attraction?

The Vatican has come up with a new list of sins for the modern age. These include pollution, experiments in genetic manipulation, recreational drug use, and causing social and economic injustices, such as poverty, by amassing too much wealth (something the Church could be considered guilty of themselves). In the past, the Church controlled it all by making themselves the only channel for messages from above and the enforcers of that law.
