Seasonal Affective Disorder – Natural Treatment

by Andrew Pacholyk MS L.Ac

seasonal-affective-disorder_OMTimes

Seasonal Affective Disorder, also known as SAD, is a form of depression. Most people tend to slow down a little in the winter and experience some form of “winter blues”, but full-blown Seasonal Affective Disorder can be extremely disabling.

Seasonal Affective Disorder is often the result of the winter season when the days are shorter. People tend to sleep more, become sedentary, crave carbohydrates, gain weight, and avoid social interaction. Psychologically, they are depressed.

Attaining a balance of yin-yang or light and dark is innate in the Chinese Medicine and Feng Shui philosophies. Although we cannot see the electromagnetic frequencies of the earth or planets, it is important for us to live in an environment that allows us to be synchronized with these forces.

2014 Gemini Full Moon

This month’s Gemini Full Moon spotlights the quality and power of our thoughts. Forget the old saying that ends “words will never hurt me.” This Moon reminds us that they are not theoretical concepts, but forces that touch us deeply and shape our experience of reality.

Full Moons always culminate a cycle and bring emotions and story lines to a head. This Gemini Full Moon is particularly high-energy, catalyzing and clearing.

The scope of the Gemini Full Moon is enormous:  It’s inspiring awareness of the chatter in our heads, along with clarity about who we are.  It’s inflaming situations, beliefs and prejudices past the point of toleration, inflaming vocal reactions and demanding that we see and respect our interconnectedness...

Why You Don’t Have to Fear Judgment

By Marcia Sirota MD

judgement_OMTimes

I talk to people all the time about their fears of being harshly judged. A number of people say that they won’t try anything new unless they’re assured of success, for fear of being criticized for not doing it as well as they “should.” Judgment leaves people feeling so uncomfortable with critical feedback that they reject all of it, even when it’s meant to help them do better.

While it’s true that we’re living in a hyper-critical world, where people are free to bash each other online, on TV, on the radio, or in the printed press, it is important to step back and gain some perspective on all the critics out there.

We should remember that there are two types of criticism: constructive and destructive. Reasonable people who have something of value to tell us will make a point of doing so in a way that we can let in. Their intention is to be helpful, so they offer their feedback politely, kindly and respectfully...

How To Make Big Decisions With Your Intuition

By Lisa K.

big-decisions_OMTimes

If there was a way we could solve our problems instantly, we’d do it wouldn’t we? One of the reasons I wanted to learn how to develop my intuition was so I could make those big decisions with more clarity and may be a hint of what is the best choice to make. Well, there are two things about making big decisions with your intuition. First, you need to know how your intuition works, and especially how it works for you personally. Second, using your intuition on big decisions doesn’t always happen by asking one big question and getting one intuitive answer, sometimes you have to ask a few questions or wait for more information to appear.

Tackling the first item, you must know how your intuition works and especially how it works for you individually. It’s like learning how to play tennis, you can’t really just read about tennis to know it, you have to do it! That means you need to experience what it’s like...

Just Breathe

By John Holland

breathe_OMTimes

Do you ever find yourself saying, “If I could just take a minute to breathe?” Well I wonder if you really know how important taking a dedicated breath really is. When we talk about the “breath” people don’t realize that they have access to an incredible resource that’s available 24/7, and the best part is, it’s absolutely free! Used to its full potential, it can have a significant and positive affect on your well-being. It can act as a channel to show you how powerful you are as a soul. You can tap in to it by simply taking your next breath. When we enter this world, the first thing we do is inhale, and before we leave this life, the last thing we do is exhale. Life is therefore one continuous series of breaths.

We’re often barely aware that we breathe and take this miraculous function of the body for granted. Once the breath becomes part of your everyday awareness, you’ll wonder how you survived before you started paying attention to it...

The Power to Change Your Past

By Guy Finley

little child pedaling a bicycle on a deserted road
So many people today are bitter, broken-hearted, or just plain angry because of what happened to them while growing up.

The reasons for their resentment or regret are as countless as are the unconscionable people responsible for the pain they unknowingly created in the lives of those they hurt. But nothing that happened “yesterday”—as horrendous as it may have been—has authority over the present moment, and its new possibilities. We may already sense the truth of this spiritual fact, but have been unable to put its power to work in our lives. So, here’s what to do whenever we find ourselves wrapped in the flames of that burning house called our painful past:

Get out of it!

Here’s the “how” part…although each of us must see the following truths (that help free us) from ourselves.

The true present moment cannot burn anything, let alone your immortal Self...

The Inner Quest of the Grail

by Mara Freeman, M.A.

Why are we still fascinated by stories of the Holy Grail told long ago in the courts of medieval Europe?  It’s my belief that the Grail myth persists throughout the centuries like a recurring dream that must be brought fully to consciousness, understood, and resolved.  This is the theme of my latest book, Grail Alchemy.  As mythologist Joseph Campbell said, the quest for the Grail is “the founding myth of Western civilization.”

The Grail is a sacred vessel as old as creation. A rounded container, it belongs to the family of symbols – bowl, cauldron, vat, well, cup or crucible – which are all images of the divine feminine, the Mother Goddess whose womb holds the waters of life, found as far back as the Neolithic era and in cultures from ancient India to classical Greece. In Celtic myth and legend, this hallowed icon of Western spirituality has its origins in the magical cups which have life-giving and protective properties and more often than not, these cups belong to goddesses or female spirits.

New Moon In Sagittarius: Flames Of Freedom

by Salvador Russo

New-Moon-in-Sagittarius_OMTimes

Flames of freedom have begun to blaze forth from the epicenter of today’s New Moon in Sagittarius! Spiritual invigoration throughout the world will rise into irresistible crescendos as these heavenly fires amplify our spiritual power and inspire our conscious actions, leading us to strike out at every lie and corruption within our mind’s reach. Consciousness will bloom and beam with inspired learning, as if diamonds were being placed into our minds by our “friends in high places.”

We will be gaining or re-gaining cherished freedoms which will restore shaken perceptions of the future and motivate us to explore the good pastures which God will be guiding us into. When the freedoms come seize them with passion, just as Alexander the Great did. This is a time of alchemical fire so harness this fire and use it to fuel your focus and the desires of your heart. Let this flame burn brightly in your mind forever: Deep within, we are all masters of our reality.
