How to Reveal The Passion That Serves You
We all want to live our passion but often we don’t know what our particular passion is. Once you know how to reveal your passion to yourself then you can begin to live that passion. This article will serve you in that endeavor.
Interconnectedness – The Power of OnenessDo you think of yourself as an individual, separate from everyone around you? Most people in our modern world do have that perception. However, centuries old spiritual texts from many cultures tell a different story; and quantum physics is beginning to confirm the same truth: that we are all interconnected, with each other and the universe around us. If this is indeed true, how come we can’t see it? Why do we appear to be separate beings? The answer lies in our perception of who we are.
Sacredness usually refers to something that is revered or worshipped, but it can also refer to a state of being or living. Would you consider your life to be sacred? Of course, the fact that you are alive is probably sacred to you, but I’m referring more to your every waking moment. Do you live with reverence and awareness, or do you rush around blindly day after day, missing out on many of the beautiful moments of your life?
How to Interpret Your DreamsHave you ever had a dream that scared or confused you? Perhaps you dreamed of a terrible accident, death of a loved one, or even a natural disaster and awoke with your heart pounding, wondering if the dream was supposed to be a premonition or message of some kind? Have you ever had a dream that was so bizarre that you woke up laughing and wondering why on earth you would dream something so crazy?
How to Have a Lucid DreamHave you ever had a dream in which you suddenly became aware that you were dreaming? If so, you were lucid dreaming. Whereas most of the time we are not consciously aware in our dreams, lucid dreams offer the possibility of a richer dream experience – or sometimes even the ability to control our dreams however we want. Some people seem to have no problem inducing a lucid dream at will, while others have them spontaneously or not at all. If you fall into the latter category and would like to try having a lucid dream, there are simple techniques you can use to induce them. It may take time before they work, however, so be prepared to make this an ongoing process until you see results.
Fitting Spirituality Into the Rest of Your LifeIf you’re like the majority of people today, you barely have time to catch your breath, let alone devote endless hours to spiritual practices. Finding time to connect with your spiritual self can be challenging, but you may be surprised to learn that it doesn’t necessarily require a large time investment. In fact, a little goes a long way when it comes to peace of mind and spiritual vitality!
When you think of a spiritual journey, what do you envision? A monk in a monastery? A nun in a convent? A shaman or medicine person from an ancient tribe? These individuals are certainly on spiritual journeys – but when you really think about it, we all are. A spiritual journey doesn’t have to mean giving away your worldly possessions and leaving your current life to give your full attention to spiritual matters. Rather, a spiritual journey can mean consciously striving to learn, grow and develop your spiritual self – even while in the context of your life as it is today.
Activities to Boost Your Spiritual PowerDo you consider yourself to be spiritually powerful? Or are you still trying to find and connect with your own inner power? Exactly what your inner power is can be debated, but I like to think of it as the spark of divinity within you. It’s the part of you that is always connected to Source (no matter what name you apply to that Source), and it’s the part of you that is uniquely “you.” In other words, it’s the ESSENCE of who you are on a spiritual level; the core of your being.
Achieving Spiritual BalanceIn a world geared toward excess, it can be challenging to achieve balance in our spiritual lives – not to mention the rest of our lives. However, an unbalanced spiritual life has the potential to seep disharmony into the other areas of our lives, no matter how ordered they may be initially. Just as your health and well-being depend on balanced nutritional habits, your spiritual practices must be in balance to promote total harmony through all areas of your life.
Follow Your Inner Guidance, Not The Advice Of FriendsHave you ever had a problem that you talked over with lots of friends? Usually their answers are predictable if you know them well. In fact, if you want a certain answer you will choose the friend that will give it to you. Many of the experiences that you have in life are …
Contribution and Compensation – Why How We Define Them MattersWe’re all taught that giving is a good thing. We’re all taught that whatever we give, we’ll reap the rewards ten-fold. Scientists are even gathering evidence that suggests unconditional giving causes our brains to create and release endorphins-a natural chemical similar to morphine, which relieves pain, gives what marathon runners call a “runner’s high,” and may even reverse aging. But, if giving is so great, if giving fills people up, then why do we sometimes feel as if we have given so much that we have nothing left?
Connecting With Conscience – Activating That Still And Quiet Voice InsideYour compass is your conscience. Your sense of right and wrong. Your ability to make choices, and your ability to live with your choices without making excuses for yourself, or assigning blame. Nevil Shute, one of the finest novelists of the twentieth century, wrote a book called Round the Bend. In the book, his protagonist recounts a fable about Moses and Mohammed. This fable has haunted me since I first read it at the age of twelve…
