You Have the Power Creating reality from the inside. by DR. WAYNE W. DYER

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” — Albert Einstein While walking down a crowded street in London many years ago, I noticed a window display devoted to the English poet William Blake. There was a quotation on a sign in the window that I read over and over. The [...]

Need a New Reality? How to create a fresh amazing you. by JOE DISPENZA, D.C.

BESIDES ITS MEANING in Tibetan, to meditate in Sanskrit means “to cultivate self.” I especially like this definition because of the metaphorical possibilities it offers—for example, gardening or agriculture. When you cultivate the soil, you take the packed-down earth that has been lying fallow for a while and you churn it up with a spade [...]

Mind Over Matter: Thoughts can make you well! by BRUCE H. LIPTON, PH.D

Discover the mind’s incredible healing power. IN 1952 a young British physician made a mistake. It was a mistake that was to bring short-lived scientific glory to Dr. Albert Mason. Mason tried to treat a fifteen-year-old boy’s warts using hypnosis. Mason and other doctors had successfully used hypnosis to get rid of warts, but this was [...]

Cling Less, Love More by Rick Hanson, Ph.D.

As a rock climber and a parent, I know some physical kinds of clinging are good – like to small holds or small hands! But clinging as a psychological state has a feeling of tension in it, and drivenness, insistence, obsession, or compulsion. As experiences flow through the mind – seeing, hearing, planning, worrying, etc. – they [...]

The Painbody: Endure it or Walk Away? by Eckhart Tolle

When you know a certain person or situation is likely to trigger your Painbody, is it better to avoid them altogether or is it helpful to the development of Consciousness to stay with them and observe your Painbodies? There is no clear answer to that – it depends on the situation. In some situations you cannot [...]

What Took You So Long? The spontaneous evolution of life. by BRUCE H. LIPTON, PH.D.

THE BUDDHISTS DESCRIBE loving participation in the world as compassion, a word that is often misunderstood by theWestern mind. We tend to think of compassion as a nice sentiment, like taking the time to feel bad about people starving somewhere. But in the Buddhist tradition, compassion is far more sophisticated in that it shows a deep [...]

Tap Away Your Stress And find ultimate success. by JACK CANFIELD

Tapping technique rewires your past. WHEN MERIDIAN TAPPING was first used in the 1970s, tapping theory was based on the energy meridians of acupuncture. It was thought that clearing those energy meridians would clear a disruption in the body’s energy system, and so remove negative emotions. However, we have a new understanding based on recent scientific studies. [...]

Medical students were taught that random chemical reactions determined everything that happened in the body, the mind and body were separate and [...]

The Pull of Attraction: How strong is yours? by ESTHER AND JERRY HICKS

WHEN YOUR ACTIVATED THOUGHTS are general and not very focused, those early vibrations are still very small and do not yet have much attraction power or pulling power, so to speak. And so, in these early stages, you would not likely see any manifested evidence of your attention to the subject. But even though you [...]

Be Willing to Dream: Choosing a life of greatness. by DR. WAYNE W. DYER

MY FAVORITE DEFINITION of success, which I’ve cited on numerous occasions, was offered by Henry David Thoreau in the mid-19th century at Walden Pond: “If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” I’ve italicized two [...]

Truth or Fiction: Always be true to your word. by DON MIGUEL RUIZ

FOR CENTURIES, even millennia, humans have believed that a conflict exists in the human mind — a conflict between good and evil. But this isn’t true. Good and evil are just the result of the conflict, because the real conflict is between the truth and lies. Perhaps we should say that all conflict is the [...]

Why Positive Affirmations Work: Make them work for you in 2012!
