Toward a World that Works for Everyone
It was a cold, dreary Saturday morning. Ana, our then three-year-old, woke up with a fever. As night fell, I had her in my lap in the rocking chair. “Hard day, huh Ana,” I said. “What was going on? What do you want?” She looked up at me and wailed, “I just want to be […]
It’s been twenty-five years since I first heard the words, “You back there, in the blue shirt, I have your father with me.” It was my first exposure to anything metaphysical, anything beyond the physical. My soon-to-be wife had invited me to Lily Dale, New York, a spiritualist community located about fifty miles south of […]
It’s story time… The phone rang. It was my mom. My grandmother Ida had stopped eating. I knew what this meant. My grandma was dying. I was afraid. I was afraid of death. I was afraid to be with her when she died. I was afraid of all the grief I was going to feel. […]
Do you ever feel stuck in negativity? Or are you one of those happy-go-lucky types who sees the silver lining in every situation? If you’re in the latter category, high five to you, friend! When I find myself stuck in a rut, I reach for a dose of gratitude. I try to focus on the […]
I realized something not too long ago and that was that it so great to have dreams and aspirations. They give you hope, something to look forward to and to plan. Dreams can help you align your gifts and talents with those things you absolutely love to do the most, so that you can bring […]
Credit: Damianmarksmyth.com Overthinking is the best way to make ourselves miserable, and in my opinion, one of the most important aspects of our spiritual evolution is learning to decrease the mind-driven pressure we tend to put on ourselves and just exist, free of any stresses, worries or concerns. Negativity is inevitable, and whether it’s from […]
I’m a great admirer of positive psychology, which has been a fantastic corrective to the traditional ‘disease model’ of psychology and has provided an extremely helpful examination of the different factors that constitute human well-being. However, I think there is one important aspect of human well-being which positive psychology has largely ignored. Spiritual Well-Being Positive psychologists […]
You just woke up and are ready to get out of your bed and start your day. But wait! Let’s bring some mindfulness into life from the moment we get lucid. I recently saw a list floating around of five things you should do before getting out of bed, and a chain of events led […]
“A simple grateful thought turned heavenwards is the most perfect prayer.”—Doris Lessing Think of anything—big or small—that exists in your life, whether it is a relationship, a job, a particular flower, or your morning coffee. Now, if this thing were to disappear tomorrow and be gone forever, would you miss it? If you would, it […]
One might ask, “How can I be happier in my life? How can I unite my body, mind and soul to create a happy life?” Doctors have long acknowledged the influence our thought patterns have on the body, but usually only among themselves. Freshman medical texts sometimes admit that as much as 50% of disease […]
Being happy is effortless; it is embedded in our DNA and completely natural. The Constitution of the United States insures us that individuals ‘have the right to pursue happiness.’ But the truth is, we don’t want to pursue happiness – we want to be happy. And because of the power of our mind we’re guaranteed […]
Robbie asked a public question of God so simply: “God, when will the happiness come?” God said: “Yes, Robbie, when will the happiness come? I will answer you, yet I won’t give you a date. It isn’t so much that I answer questions. I answer the hearts of people who ask questions. If I answered […]
CA, participant in Linda Dillon’s webinar series, The New You, rides the Tsunami of Love finding greater clarity and peace within her heart. This morning I had to cancel everything just to work on myself. So tired! As I said previously and here say again…… since the Livestream I’ve been finding it all a bit of a […]
I’m not relating here to spiritual freedom – the freedom that comes from enlightenment. I’m relating instead to the felt experience of freedom, what we are, do, feel and have in our lives that gives us the swelling sense of freedom, prior to winning the ultimate release of enlightenment. It’s an interim, middle-ground concept perhaps, […]
