Codependence is being at war with ourselves, says Robert Burney, a codependency therapist. Codependency, therefore, makes it difficult to love ourselves and our inner child. Codependency, as an addictive behavior, involves taking responsibility for someone else's thoughts, feelings, or behavior. We learn to negate our own needs and falsely believe that whatever we do is "not enough" and therefore "we aren't good enough." We have a choice to hear the voice of our wounded inner child and to heal or to continue to live in pain and codependent patterns. For those of us on a journey of self-discovery or spirituality, codependency and inner child healing remains necessary to experience greater oneness. By...

What is Bio-Energetic Healing? Simply put, Bio-energetic healing can be described as healing your body with energy. Based on the law of quantum physics, it is believed that all energy comes from a primary source. Bio-energetic healing is the process of resonating with source energy to heal your own body. Why Bio-Energetic Healing? Energy is powerful. And there are still some who don't quite understand the effects of how energy can help them. Mainstream health practitioners are still skeptical about the advances in energetic healing. However, there are many people who have experienced pain relief, improvement in their chronic illness, and a sense of well being after being exposed to energetic healing...

One of the many things the western spiritual seeker has to face is that within the context of our culture there is limited discussion and awareness concerning the outcome of spiritual learning. Also, western spiritual travelers may have romantic ideas about what they will look like after they have reached 'spiritual completion,' i.e., added a measure of spiritual capacity. Often, these expectations in part prevent the development that is actually possible. Yet, in other (eastern) cultures more familiar examples of the exemplar or 'wise one' exist; one who has balanced self and added a degree of spiritual learning/capacity to their own daily consciousness; thereby helping self and others by tuning...

Tiredness Tiredness is a belief. Tiredness is the belief that tiredness is the result of hard work. However, doing nothing can also be very tiring. I get tired when I am bored and under occupied, and I get tired when I am overused and overworked. Tiredness is the result of living life in a state of disconnection from my True Authority. I am tired of not being 'Connected'. When disconnected from my true authority, I am disconnected from my true power - my Life-force Energy. When disconnected from my life-force energy, I will experience tiredness whether I am working or not. When connected to my true power, my life-force energy, I never get tired. Tiredness is the experience of the side-effects of the...

Every now and then I come across a crystal whose "meaning and purpose" has evolved beyond what the traditional crystal books say about it. Even my own first impressions seem no longer complete. Aquamarine is just such a stone. As many of us are shifting and changing, this stone is evolving to assist us in the new reality we are creating as a whole. As always, you can attune a stone to your own intentions and receive guidance on its specific purpose for you. There are certain characteristics though, which the stone seems to convey for everyone. In a meditation with this stone, I hear the words "blue water". This is the literal translation of aquamarine. It reminds me of fluidity, the ability to...

Because crystal healing is very relaxing, it is of general benefit to sufferers of more common aches and pains. At some time or other, most of us experience pain from over-stretched muscles, muscle tension from repetitive actions at work, or poor posture while sitting at a desk or while riding in the car. Pain is the bodys warning system that something is wrong and needs your attention. In our western society we often ignore our pain, or mask it temporarily with aspirin or other substances that actually "block" what our body is telling us. When we do not listen and heed the warning further damage often occurs. It is like your house being on fire and you sound the alarm to the fire department. The...

Magick spells are not something to be dabbled with. If you're interested in witchcraft, whether it be Wicca or a more traditional path, you need to study the theories and beliefs about magick and work with energy before you attempt to do a spell. It doesn't matter if you want to become a witch, shaman, or mage-you need to understand what you're getting yourself into. You will also need to get to know yourself better. I know it sounds cliche, but what we are on the inside can affect the outcome of any magick that we try. This is why gurus will always recommend meditation and visualization. If you ever want to try magick, see auras, be psychic, etc., you will need to meditate and practice...

Spirituality is a dwelling that we can get to through meditation. The highest level of this dwelling is with God and our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. However getting to this place requires certain key attributes that must be fulfilled. It is a place where we come in peace and leave behind the world, sarcasm in thought and all our accomplishments. In this house there is no room for worldly wisdom. It is a place of mystery that desires our minds to be open and welcoming to receive what God has in store for us. If this is accomplished to the fullest then a peace descends upon us that transcends all the ill health, ill thoughts, misunderstandings or obstacles we may face. Our will is given to those who...

John Donne, the English poet, once said: "No man is an island." Yes, in a way, we are all related to other people in our lives--whether we are at home, work, or play. Relationships are at the core of human existence. If you understand other people in your life, you will develop better and more positive relationships with them. Understanding people means knowing how to react to them in certain situations, leading to good human relationships. Having good human relationships is the art of living well. But understanding other people around you may not be easy, especially if you do not understand yourself first. By understanding yourself better, you may be able to relate better to other people in your...

The No-Smoking Day people in the UK say that 70% of smokers would like to stop. And smokers determined to quit try, try and try again until they are finally free. Everybody has heard of hypnotherapy, patches, Zyban, and nicotine gum. There also new methods emerging as particularly effective with smoking, such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques, otherwise known as Tapping) and acupuncture. Other methods I have heard people getting success with are Reiki, spiritual healing, crystal healing, Shiatsu, Yoga, meditation, religion or worship, and Tai Chi. Some ex-smokers-to-be avoid all the smoking triggers for a few months while they quit. This includes having tea or coffee, having an alcoholic drink...

Once again, an animal in my life is making me think outside of the box. Thanks Duke. I've written about Duke before. He is a most handsome, good-natured boxer. A big dog who is living with us temporarily. Originally Duke was adopted by our son Jeff in LA. Jeff grew up with boxers and really wanted one of these loving dogs to live with him. Long story short, he adopted Duke and quickly bonded. However, Duke was far too stressed to be able to stay in LA. This urban environment that Jeff loved and thrived in was overwhelming and even unhealthy for Duke. So, Jeff made arrangements for Duke to go live with his elder brother Bill and his wife Felicia in Texas. This was in June and circumstances would not...

The world where all of us reside in today consists of countless material possessions and wants. Without a doubt, it has become a challenging task for individuals to recognize the basic stuff in everyday life being that they are now blinded by the amount of riches and fame. Keep in mind that however basic these things might be, they are a lot more important to the lives of human beings than those materialistic possessions you can never ever take along with you when you perish. These simple things consists of the idea of spiritual medicine wherein people can really feel saved and safeguarded from the temptations and evils on the planet. With the term spiritual, it's just saying that we are openly...

I read a wonderful book the other day. It had been recommended and even loaned to me by one of my favorite life coaching clients. 'The Shack' by Wm. Paul Young spoke to me on many levels. As a life coach I encourage clients to acknowledge and appreciate their faith, if they do indeed believe in a higher power. This book tells the true story of a man who lived through a brutal childhood. Later he married and had children, settling into a wonderful if somewhat ordinary life. God as he knew him was pretty unavailable and not someone he felt that he could count on. Tragically this man experienced a horror that is every parent's nightmare. Sometime later, this man is invited up to a place referred simply...

The paraphrased words on Moldavite from "Love is in the Earth" author, Melody: "A pathway of inter-dimensional access to the highest Galactic energies, bringing higher thought forms and patterns through to the Earth plane. A multi-dimensional passage into other realms" equally apply to Libyan Desert Glass. The difference between the two being that Libyan Desert Glass is said to operate with direct focus on the Vishudda (throat) and Anahata (heart) centers, rather than operating in the higher Chakra realms. This quality of its essence creates a source and contact for universal love and harmony, as it acts as a channel for bringing Cosmic energies directly into the center of being. It is for this...

It's all about practice and tuning in. You have to give time to yourself, to fine tune it. When you get impressions there you need to ask yourself questions, such as what impression am I getting, what is this related to, what action should I take right now. Or if the impression is about a person, you can ask yourself what is it that I'm feeling about this person? Is this information for myself of for him or her? Is this a warning? Or is this knowledge for my own learning and growth? The more that you can answer those questions the more information will come in. You also have to tune in to how you receive information. Think of the third eye like a cone that is attached to your forehead by the small...

We all accumulate 'stuff' as we go through life. On the physical level as in letters, newspapers and magazines, clothes, unwanted gifts and many other such things. It occurred to me as I was clearing out my emails [for the 100th time] that we also accumulate 'stuff' online now too, and on the hard drives of our computers; downloaded videos and games, music and old emails clutter up our computer, this can slow it down at some point may cause it to break down completely if it is overloaded. It is the same for us humans too, in a way we are like a giant computer hard drive, but we also have a very complex machine attached to that hard drive, our bodies. On a physical level we consume unhealthy food...

Intuition is our connection to the universal, intelligent life force that resides within everyone and everything. It is felt as deep wisdom, an inner knowing and is an internal source of knowledge and understanding. As we develop our intuition we begin to sense what feels right and true for us at any given time. Intuition is a practical tool that we can use to help us deal with life's experiences. Helpful decisions, solutions to problems and inspired ideas all come from our intuitive self. It is an incredible inner resource and gift that we can use to enhance the quality of our lives. Some people think that intuition is a "special gift", which certain people have and others do not. Nothing could be...

In my work, mentoring others in learning to develop psychic/medium abilities, the question always arises on how to effectively contact spirit guides. We all have spirit guides. Some look at them as guardian angels, which is a close comparison. The difference between spirit guides and angels is that our guides have lived many human lives and have access to that knowledge and experience. More importantly, they are a major link for our communication with the spirit world and the wisdom on the Divine itself. The sole purpose of these beings (as in their name) is to guide and help us throughout our life's path. There are two methods which have proven effective in making your first conscious contact with...

How is it possible to heal with Chi? The word 'Chi' means energy. From a Chinese medical perspective, this is the life energy that keeps a person alive. Without Chi, you would have only a collection of bones and other organic matter. Chi is responsible for the healing that takes place in the body. Chi healing insures that more Chi gets to the area of the body that needs to be healed. This can be done in a number of ways. A healer can remove blockages of chi flow. If an injury has taken place, there are usually areas of trauma or blockages around the wound which prevent Chi from flowing properly and doing its job. By removing Chi blockages, a healer can increase the flow of Chi and thereby help a...

Is too much stress something that happens to you every day? A study found that people in situations where a lot was demanded of them or they demanded a lot of themselves, but perceived little control, were more likely to experience high levels of stress. Mothers who have young children fall into this category because of all the pressures they experience but without much control. If your child wakes up screaming, you will get up. Not much control in that situation. And there are many more motherhood examples. Do you experience motherhood stress? But people often experience that kind of pressure in their work environment, too. Demanding jobs or bosses but very little control over the unpleasant...

Alternative approaches to medicine abound for those who are looking for another way to treat their illness or condition. Crystals have been used for many years to direct energy to the patient who is looking for a healing or benefit from the stone. Science has not proven or determined how stones direct energy, but it is clear that energy passes through crystals in a very ordered and specific way. When you are using crystals for your own healing, it is important that you receive expert information on the variety of ways that they can be used. Using crystals during meditation is a very popular way to use the stones. Many people hold the stones during meditation to help the energy flow through them and...
