Quantum Partner Tango

I came to a place in my lifetime of searching for God, when I had been just been initiated in the Ancient Order of Swamis by the Maha-Avatar Babaji in 1997. I was sitting on a concrete slab in the entryway of a small temple compound in Southern India.

I was looking out over the countryside when suddenly I reached the space that was at once new and yet strangely familiar. I felt as if I was sitting behind or before an artistic scene, as if the artist with his brush had just finished a magnificent painting of trees, sky and Earth. There was a natural chorus of monkeys and birds within this masterpiece I was viewing.

Every conception that I had about myself had suddenly collapsed. The concept of being a son, a twin, a student, a soldier, a father, a husband, a school teacher, a body worker, a yoga teacher, a chiropractic student, a doctor in medical hypnotherapy, a lecturer, and an author were gone, and I touched a space inside myself that was strangely familiar.

You could say it was the presence of the I AM - pure being - without any qualifying definition. I felt it in the center of my chest, in my heart - the dynamic presence of Love as a power within me. It was animated in ways I’d never felt before - a vibration, what might be called in Sanskrit, a loka - a plane of existence. The trees became suddenly greener, the sky bluer, and the air fresher. The life within me and around me was all visible.

I was definitely switched on to the Source Current of all life. I had the realization that I was ONE with it, coming home, there was such a naturalness that it was so easy. We have it all along, but we go wandering in search of what we’ve left of greener pastures, and it’s a long, arduous journey, at best. I had been led to believe that what I was presently feeling- the attainment of such an exalted realization would take lifetimes, at best.

When I studied Zen, it was clear that if I wanted this state of consciousness I’d have to sit on my knees with a straight back, not moving, in front of my roshi for 30 to 40 years!

Possibly, then I might have a glimpse of this. When I studied meditation and yoga, I understood that if I did enough asanas or postures, if I twisted my body enough, stretched enough, chanted enough, practiced enough mantra and meditation, the Gurus might be pleased, and I might also have a sip from the Eternal

Nectar of Divinity only they could taste. I had the unique privilege of studying with seven of the most powerful Gurus of this era, and I always brought with me this teaching.

Tradition has perhaps bound us rather than set us free, and we’re in a time in history when we need faster solutions. If being connected to the Source of love and great inspiration has been important to us in the past, where we are at present certainly makes this even more urgent and relevant.

This realization which connected me to the inner Source of Love- of Life itself was so beautiful. It was clear that all I could see and even the body I inhabited–whether in Armani or a simple cotton dhoti—was a gift of LOVE - was God.

I had that realization, and I still have it. Once you catch the wave of it, there it is. Then you realize there are steps you can and must take to keep it alive. And you want to stay with it. Otherwise, it’s just another Aha! –in you past you barely remember. There are ways to keep the realization that you are One with the Source of Life.

I knew at that point that I had to honor my body, because it was the carrier, and not only the carrier, but the very manifestation of Spiritual being love - being the Source of all vibration. The magnificence of the frangipani and the jasmine scents

I was taking in as I sat there, and all the colors of this work of art - this masterpiece of the Mastery we call God was the realization that I was in It - that I was It and that somewhere in the distance a simple Indian woman kneeling and kneading chapatti dough on the dirt floor of her hut was looking out in my direction and seeing the landscape I was in. We’re in IT! We’re in God’s masterpiece and the Source of it is both within us and without.

There is this Creative Unified Field - what the Chinese call the Tao and what the Native Americans call Great Spirit - the Living Animator behind it all -that connects everything without form - although all the forms are in it. It is Pure Beingness - all forms of energy. I was looking at it outside myself and I was feeling it inside myself and I knew my entire lifetime would be spent showing others that they are ONE with it all.

As the spider spins its web from its body, the whole Universe, as we perceive it, is spinning from that space of pure joy — from the power of love within us, which is the God in which we live.

This realization only came when I had stripped away, one by one, all limiting concepts of who I was - all identities - so that the Maha Vritti, the Big Wave, the Big Idea, the Central Truth for ALL of us, which is at the very core of existence, became evident and revealed.

If you lack self esteem and are low in self confidence then you probably spend a lot of time wishing you had the confidence to act and behave in the way people with high self esteem do.

If you want to be happier and derive more from life increasing your self confidence and self esteem is the key and its easy to do with these simple tips. Make sure that you live your life with full of happiness and that will happen only if you improve your self esteem and build self esteem

1. Make Some Research:
A lof of self help books are a waste of time in the sense that the only person who can change you is you. Reading even this blog post will not change you unless you get emotionally involved with the information. Which is really hard as it’s really dry and boring. Go read biographies of people you respect, people who do positvive things and attain huge success. Learn from the master not the self help guru who is always in debt.

2. Helping Out Other People.
Nothing makes you feel a warm glow than when you unselfishly help others. of course you can argue that this in itself is selfish, but if you take that line of thought you must think that existence is selfish. Forget that. Just do a good deed, help someone out, doesn’t have to be big and it doesn’t have to cost any money.

3. Include positivity in your life.
I’m not talking an airy fairy chant in the mirror whilst naked. I mean take a positive slant on everything automatically. The meat pie you just bit in to may contain maggots, but maggots contain a lot of protien. OK that’s a bit extreme but you get the point.

4. Everyday Compare Yourself With Yourself.
If you look at how you were yesterday and how you are today and there is an improvement then that is great. If there is no improvement then you know you need to improve your efforts. Don’t start comparing your self to other people. Saying you are poor compared to D. Trump is just going to make you miserable.

5. Smile!

It’s amazing what a simple smile can do to improve someone’s appearance. When you look at yourself in the mirror, don’t frown. By frowning you are automatically putting a depressing tone on the act. If you look at yourself while depressed, you will see nothing but faults. Try smiling when you look at yourself. The good parts of your body will out shine the bad, and your confidence will come through in the image. Remember the saying “Smile and the whole world smiles with you, frown and you frown alone.” As cheesy as it is, it’s somewhat true. If you look happy when speaking to people, they will remember you in a much better light. Just don’t over do it

The more you practice the more likely you will create a positive aura which is commonly known as charisma. To step up to become a charismatic personality it takes more than just these tips. Get yourself acknowledge with this information yahoo self esteem directory

Creating a positive aura will benefit you in every thing you do. You will create a warmer ambience with your family. You will be more successful in your career. Even while trying to meet a partner of the opposite sex you will notice a difference on how people perceive you.

Hypnosis is a scientifically verified and effective technique that can promote accelerated human change. With Hypnosis we can create desired changes in behavior and encourage mental and physical well-being.

Here are some tips for using self hypnosis as a goal achievement tool.

1. Visualize. Program yourself with your desired outcome. During a trance session see your goal as having been accomplished. See it as real. See it through your own eyes and experience all the wonderful feelings associated with that goal attainment. Visualization is more powerful during a self hypnosis session than when it is performed in a normal state.

2. Persistence. Program yourself with self hypnosis to be persistent. Post hypnotic suggestions to develop an iron will and persistent approach to your goals will be invaluable in times of stress and disillusionment.

3. Think Positive. Learn to think positively. The subconscious mind has a tendency to replay past memories and throw them back into consciousness in the form of doubts and fears. Use self hypnosis to eliminate these. Use your self hypnosis sessions to program your subconscious mind to think positively and expect positive results.

4. Program out the Problem. Inevitably some problem will arise when you pursue worthwhile goals. Through self hypnosis you can solve these problems fairly rapidly. While in trance see yourself successfully traversing the obstacle. You don’t have to see how you did it, just see yourself at the other side, relieved, happy and proud that you “figured it out” and reached the other side. If this, in itself, is a problem for you, or you find it hard to do then seek the advice of a qualified hypnotherapist. A competent hypnotherapist will find the root of your problem or good self hypnosis session will eliminate it!

5. Pre-pave your path. Imagine yourself meeting the right people and being in the right place at the right time. Program your mind like this, through the power of self hypnosis, and your subconscious mind will pick up on non-verbal clues, process the millions of bits of information you receive every second and guide you to the right course of action.

6. Develop faith. Use self hypnosis to convince the subconscious mind that your goal is already a reality. “Fake it till you make it”. Fool your subconscious mind into believing the “real” world is actually exactly like the world you have been visualizing through the power of self hypnosis. While in a self hypnosis induced trance get involved in your visualization and imagine you are really there, in that moment, enjoying all the fruits of your labour.

Learn how to guide yourself and others to lose weight, quit smoking and be free of physical pain. These programs are especially suited for health care professionals, practicing therapists, and all individuals seeking to make a positive change in their lives.free online self hypnosis

Consciousness, Free Will and Other Mysteries of the Human Mind

Author: Jay Wilson

It’s not exactly psychology; it’s not just neuroscience. It’s certainly not anthropology, although there are similarities. It includes cognitive science but isn’t really limited to it. And it certainly has a lot to do with philosophy. What am I talking about? The new “science of consciousness”, as it is being pursued today by theorists, scientists, and academics around the world.

A couple of weeks ago, all of the maverick researchers of the new field of “consciousness studies”, as it is sometimes called—who by and large operate on the fringes of the conventional, academic world—gathered together under one roof, so to speak, near the University of Arizona, to talk about this curiously intimate yet mysterious subject.

Some people say that consciousness remains as much of a mystery today as it was to our ancient ancestors. What is consciousness? Why are we conscious? What does it really mean to be conscious? Why do we have subjective experience at all? For that matter, do we even have subjective experience? Or is that just a trick of the brain? These are the sorts of questions on offer at this week long conference and this year I had the opportunity to be there in person and see the sights. We’re thinking about doing another issue of What Is Enlightenment? exploring the nature of consciousness (the first one is here) and so I wanted to get up close and personal, so to speak, with the ideas that are driving the field.

Now the first thing that hits you as an editor/journalist/writer is the academic nature of the conference. Many of the presentations just weren’t meant for public consumption…

When you become truly self motivational you realise that success is not a destination it is something within you. It is the self motivational attitude that you take to every aspect of your life. Not just the big things but the every day mundane things to. Success is not something you grab a hold of, pin down then show off as some kind of trophy which some less than self motivational people have come to view it. Successful people don’t just achieve success they live it on a daily basis. Many definitions of success describe it as a journey. However I believe it is more than a journey and is in fact a life style and indeed a self motivational life style choice.

Success leaves clues, here is a list of some of the success clues to look for:
1 Focused on worthy goals
2 Self motivational to work towards them (not just looking for short cuts)
3 Pushing for high standards but not bogged down in seeking perfection
4 Seeing the big picture while attending to the detail
5 Persistence is the self motivational watchword
6 Balancing the need for big step change with incremental improvement
7 Holding the gains in success not backsliding into old behaviours
8 Helping others, particularly less fortunate, set and achieve their goals
9 Commitment to delivering on promises
10 Knowing that your goal is still there after the buffeting storms subside
11 Not surrendering control to others by losing your temper
12 Seeing hate and abuse from others as a gift you choose not to accept from them
13 Refuse to acknowledge failure and see it as a learning experience
14 Forge alliances with those who will commit to supporting your goals
15 Knowing that everyone has within them the resources to achieve their goals
16 Realising that success is a self motivational choice you make not made for you
17 Seeing money as a scorecard to the energy you create in the world not success itself
18 Respect others and their vision of success even when you can’t agree with them
19 Living in the now and valuing every moment of every day
20 Valuing health as the great generator for a self motivational and successful life style

To be self motivational and adopt a success lifestyle you need to be a detective looking for clues. My list above is not meant to be comprehensive but merely a starting point to begin your quest. To get some further clues have a look at this self motivational booklist I compiled.

Pilgrimage: Notes of a Glastonbury Pilgrim by Carol Ohmart Behan: http://www.GoldenSpiralJourney.com

The tradition of pilgrimage has been a time-honored practice in virtually all cultures beyond recorded history, its popularity undiminished to this day. Regardless of the goal,
the basic purpose of a pilgrimage is to make a special journey to a site that offers a unique connection with the sacred, the supernatural, the mysterious or the extraordinary in some way. The journey’s destination brings the pilgrim to a place “where the physical world meets the spiritual world.”

Religious pilgrimage is no doubt the most familiar kind and nearly all faiths encourage their followers in such journeys. For millennia Christians have aspired to visit the Holy Land of Jerusalem or places where Christian saints lived and performed their deeds. The annual Muslim pilgrimage, the Hajj, calls pilgrims to Mecca in Saudi Arabia to circle the Ka’Ba, the square, black-shrouded structure that houses the sacred Black Stone. The veneration of this sacred stone, thought now to be a meteorite, actually predates the formation of Islam. Hindus travel to the Ganges River in India seeking spiritual purification and believe life is incomplete without bathing at least once in its waters. In their eyes the river is a goddess, Ganga ma, (mother Ganga) who offers renewal and salvation.

Pilgrimage journeys are often undertaken for healing, be it of body, mind, or spirit. The destination may be humanmade such as the shrine of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre in a little Canadian town of the same name just outside of Quebec. The miraculous healings that have occurred there for several hundred years attract more than a million people every year. People stand in awe before ancient monuments such as Stonehenge in England, its towering, silent stones erected by our ancestors. It attracts over 800,000 visitors per year and several thousand gather on the summer solstice to watch the sunrise at this ancient and mystical site. Visitors from a variety of religious backgrounds have reported a strong sense of mystery and spiritual energy there.

On every continent Earth’s natural wonders also are points of pilgrimage offering their stunning beauties and grandeurs as balm for the spirit. A very few to mention are the Grand Canyon, the towering plume of Old Faithful’s geyser in Yellowstone National Park, and sacred mountains such as Mt. Fuji in Japan and Mt. Shasta in northern California. Ayers Rock in Australia, its native name, Uluru, like Mt. Shasta is considered a place of mystical power by native peoples and New Age practitioners alike. And circling all the continents is the Ocean herself, a source of inspiration and renewal for those of us who dwell inland.

On a smaller scale, a labyrinth is very much a place “where the physical world meets the spiritual world.” The labyrinth’s gently curved path leads the walker on a quiet, contemplative journey to its center. In my work with labyrinth I have witnessed people utilizing the labyrinth’s pathway for something that can be described as an “inner pilgrimage”. So much of modern life urges us to focus on the outer world, but more and more people are seeking ways to explore “inner landscapes”. In my view, this yearning accounts in part for the resurgence of interest in the labyrinth, an ancient spiritual resource. I invite you to read my article on this at www.GoldenSpiralJourney.com

Other means to pursue a personal pilgrimage of our vast and unexplored inner world can be through meditation, journal or poetry writing, and seeking places of quiet and silence where “we can hear the soul speaking”.

Pilgrimage has always been and is still “work of the soul” from the planning, to the traveling, to reaching the journey’s destination. If you do not come from a religious or cultural tradition of pilgrimage, the call is sometimes more subtle. The poet Mary Oliver poses the question, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do / with your one wild and precious life?” There is an ever-increasing desire to live our lives from a deeper place, to spend more of our time “being” and less in “doing.” Oliver’s question beckons us to step outside the confines of our consumer focused, ego-driven culture. For those seeking this more conscious and spiritually-based way of living, a pilgrimage journey offers abundant support in searching out this larger, more holistic life.

My own experience of pilgrimage came when I entered my fifth decade, wondering what I might do with “the rest of my life”. Some truly marvelous synchronicities (a good sign you’re on the right path) brought me to Glastonbury, England and to its evocative and mystical energies. It has been a place of pilgrimage for a thousand years and more as the early peoples came to drink and bather in the healing waters of the springs issuing from beneath the brooding hill or “Tor”. Of its many myths, one is that the Holy Grail was brought here by Joseph of Arimatheia who is said to have founded the first Christian church in England. It grew into a fabulous and famous Abbey that drew devout pilgrims for hundreds of years. The legend of the Grail grew to encompass the mythical life of King Arthur and Guinevere, the energies of that story woven into all the rest. Down through the centuries, the Chalice Well at the “red spring”, sacred to the Divine Feminine, maintained its presence not far beyond the Abbey walls. In the summer of 2001, just another New Age pilgrim, I set foot on Glastonbury’s streets and climbed the Tor to find my own revelations.

The Chalice Well, set within its beautiful and peace-filled Garden, continues to draw people from all over the world in quest of the healing energies of its red-tinged waters, rising ever rising from its deep secret source. During a visit there one summer afternoon, I saw a Spanish pilgrimage group dressed in white outfits performing a healing ritual in the shallow pool dedicated to such work. Observing them, I was struck by how timeless this scene was and how all of us in the Garden that day were following in the footsteps of countless generations of pilgrims.

What one finds on a pilgrimage is often ineffable, and while I can only speak for myself, beyond a doubt my pilgrimages to Glastonbury continue to enlarge my life. I invite you to explore this ages-old pilgrimage destination by visiting my website. And since one article cannot possibly cover this tremendously large topic, I encourage you to explore further. Wonderful resources are just a mouse-click away on the World Wide Web. Enjoy your journey!

Carol Ohmart-Behan is a novelist, certified labyrinth-facilitator, and pilgrimage leader. Her newest novel, Downstream, was released in December, 2006. Details of her novels as are at her website, www.MeadowMuse.com

If you are a yoga practitioner, have been using meditation for sometime, or if are simply just considering joining a yoga class then one of your immediate goals could perhaps be spiritual enlightenment. The methods used in these practices allows you become more aware of you body and this will help you come the realization of the connection between how your mind reacts with how your body feels. Read on and discover some information about milestones that one will reach as a result of spiritual enlightenment, in addition to learning more about the yoga principles.

Most of the people that have been practicing yoga for years do so to avoid feeling stressed or anxious, and if you’re thinking about making yoga part of your workout routine, chances are you’ll want to do the same. During your meditation time, it is important to focus on what is causing your stress; it may be the pressure of having to run too many errands for the family each day, or the overwhelming work schedule that you’re expected to follow. Next, you’ll need to determine whether or not you can change or get rid of what is causing you to be unbalanced.

Would you be able to get a different job? Are you able to delegate your work and responsibilities to other members of your family? If you come to the conclusion that nothing can be done to alleviate your situation for now, the you need to use your meditation and breathing routines to change your mindset about how your life is going. You will have to concentrate on how you can make changes in your mind to deal with your stress levels more appropriately, so that you will be able to make sense of chaos and be able to deal with your situation at times that you would usually fall apart.

When you’re practicing yoga for spiritual enlightenment in addition to your meditation, you should also pay special attention to your body’s movements, as well as how each movement makes your body and mind feel. When you feel physically sick, you are more likely to be more stressed, since you won’t have the energy you need to work or run errands efficiently. And, when you have to work long hours despite the fact that you’re not feeling well, this could weaken your immune system even more. So, spiritual enlightenment will come from practicing your ‘asanas’, or yoga poses as often as you can, as well as meditating.

A Way To Express Gratitude - Make The Best Of Your Life

You can live better! The guide to successful living includes Healing Prayers, A Method For Showing Appreciation and Plan For Personal Development.

Successful living is about life - not things. Yes, money is important to help you enjoy freedom from worry and unneeded poverty. Things like cars and houses, experiences like travel, art and music are useful to enhance our creativity.

Spiritual healing prayer really can add more powerful, dynamic energy to your daily living. Many doctors and scientists are realizing that a wholesome, healthy body is impacted by the spiritual health of humans.

The noted cellular biologist and teaching physician, Dr. Bruce Lipton wrote The Biology of Belief, based on his experiments with human cells. Dr. Lipton discovered that living cells grow toward positive energy sources, and shrank or died when negative energy was nearby.

Spiritual healing happened regularly in the the New Testament accounts of Jesus the Christ. Jesus even continued this ministry of Christian spiritual healing by sending his followers to heal the sick. Today, modern prayer techniques like the Healing Codes release the stress from destructive cellular memories.

Appreciation is a very powerful way to shrug off the slings and arrows that life can throw at you. Gratitude can help irritating people, conditions or circumstances take a better turn. You can choose to cultivate and grow your sense of thankfulness. Think of a pearl. A grain of sand invades an oyster and starts irritating its sensitive lining. Now that oyster doesn’t have a vacuum cleaner to “clean house” and remove the grain of sand. No, the oyster invests part of itself, layer upon layer of mother of pearl from its own sensitive lining to wraps up the irritating grain of sand.

An amazing thing happens. Over time, with constant progress, that irritating piece of sand becomes a magnificent pearl. Appreciation can create a pearl out of the irritating things that happen in your life. Keep a gratitude journal and write down what you are thankful for every day. Your life will take on a whole new meaning and freshness.

Without a Approach to personal development, your chance to make real, positive change and lasting success become like zero. You can increase your odds by using tried and proven personal development tips to get you started in the right direction.

Think about this. Have you ever used an online map or a GPS system to get directions? With the use of Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, Mapquest and even GPS devices in your car, you can get a step-by-step approach to reach your destination.

Personal development plans are very much the same, a tool that people use to help them improve themselves as they go from one state or condition in life to a better one. You can use a plan to to get a promotion, build a new business, attract new friends, lose weight, to break a bad habit, quit smoking or for anything else that you may want to change.

So, here are three ways that you can increase the quality and wonder of your life. You can live better each day, every day.
