Your Aura And How It Affects Others

Submitted by will on

by Gregg Prescott, M.S.
Editor, BodyMindSoulSpirit.com

Have you ever noticed people who simply make you feel good by just looking at them? Have you ever observed someone for the first time and knew there was something off with this person, even though that particular person never said a word to you?

As more experiments are conducted within this field, we are finding more and more astonishing results. For example, Russian professor Konstantin Korotkov found that upon death, the human aura will continue to change for approximately 72 hours after being pronounced clinically dead.

Korotkov stated, “We are developing the idea that our consciousness is part of the material world and that with our consciousness we can directly influence our world.”

Contrast Helps You to Focus

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on

From Open Diary by Kris

I believe we all have our good days and our bad days. Days were you feel everything is working for you and days were you kind of lose your hope. Yesterday was one of those bad days for me. Not that I lost my hope, but ... ok actually I did just that, at least that is how it felt.

But on the inside I knew there is something to it. Everything has a reason for me. As one of my favourite inspirational teacher's says: "Contrast helps you to focus." Contrast, meaning, those so called bad days, and actually calling them bad wouldn't be the right term at all, are in your life to help you. I know that sounds crazy. You probably wonder how can something bad happening, can be to my benefit? It is all about the shift in perception. Another good term to describe that would be the famous silver lining. We are so practised to go towards what feels good, and push away from what feels uncomfortable, but have you ever stopped and thought if those uncomfortable, sad feeling are there for a reason? have you ever considered that they are there to help you see something more clearly and get more focused on what you want? Probably not, but..

What Is An Empath And Are You One?

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on

Have you ever wondered why people who are strangers or people you hardly know open up to you and share their most trusted thoughts? Do you have an instant connection with animals? Are you unable to watch violence, cruelty, or tragedy on television or in the movies because your soul just can’t bear it? Do you have an instant knowing about the character of the people you meet upon first meeting them? Are you highly spiritual and find the physical world and everything in it heavy? Are you often tired and have physical ailments that cannot be medically explained? If you answered, “yes” to any of these questions you may be an “empath.

Empaths are people who are highly sensitive to the energy and the emotions of the people, animals, and sometimes even the spiritual imprints that exist around them. Some are even sensitive to the energy of plants. This extreme sensitivity applies to the familiar as well as the unfamiliar; people we are intimately close with and total strangers. We experience the world around us and feel what other people are feeling through our extraordinarily heightened senses and keen intuitions. We often internalize the feelings of others without being aware we are doing it and interpret those feelings as being our own.

The Magic of the Summer Solstice: Sacred Celebrations for Midsummer

Submitted by will on

by Emma Tuzzio

Summer-Solstice-Stonehenge-blessing

As the wheel of the year turns to Summer, we enter into a time of fruition and fulfilment. All the upward energy of Spring spirals to it’s peak and launches us into Summer, when the days are longer than the nights. The result; a celebration of abundance and joy as the natural world explodes into full bloom; lush with trees, flowers and fruits blossoming to their full potential and unfurling in a kaleidoscope of colours.

Whilst each season possesses its own unique beauty, as someone living in the Southern hemisphere, Summer holds a particularly special place in my heart. The warmer Months bring with it a carefree sense of freedom, an expansive energy that propels me into action as I spend more time outdoors replenishing under the full force of the Suns ray’s. Summer can also signal a time of sizzling summer ROMANCE, PASSION, CREATIVITY, ABUNDANCE, and HAPPINESS. What’s not to like?

Travel Doesn’t Make You Happy: How Travel Taught Me to Search for Happiness Inside Myself.

Submitted by will on

“You have no need to travel anywhere. Journey within yourself, enter a mine of rubies and bathe in the splendor of your own light.”
~ Rumi

I am a traveler. When I’m home, the only thing I think of is travel. I think of the feeling of excitement and the weightlessness of the plane lifting off the ground. I think of the new smells I will encounter. I think of the beautiful souls around the world I will meet. I think of the wonder that comes from walking through a new city for the first time, hearing the sounds of a language I’ve never before heard and seeing the glorious beauty of nature somewhere far away from home. I think of the pure bliss that must lie ahead. I think, “If only I were traveling…”

Who Is Longing For Freedom?

Submitted by will on

"The spiritual Journey along the road is in fact a quest for an answer to that question. When you have found the answer on your spiritual Journey, then you have woken up and you have found your real Self. The common answer is that it is the Ego that longs for freedom. It is, however, not completely true. The Ego-dominated mind has no idea what freedom is.

The Ego is longing for an image created of freedom by the mind. The image may be as varied as many people create them. For some, freedom means that I can do whatever I want. For others it means the things money can buy, still others find freedom in obedience to God. These are all mere images created by the mind, which is itself nothing but a tool, though in its present state it believes that it is the center of the universe. A lot of awakened teachers argue that there is no road leading to such an answer, there are no universal, trusty methods. Everybody needs to find the anwer individually. The awakened teachers believe that the only true aspiration of man is for truth and freedom. Adyashanti believes that the desire for freedom is rooted in the true nature of man, in man’s memories of freedom." Frank M. Wanderer

Jasmine – The Animal Shelter Greyhound

Submitted by will on

Jasmine had been abandoned before she arrived at the Nuneaton and Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary, UK back in 2003.

The stray Greyhound had been found dumped in a garden shed and was cold, filthy and malnourished. Shivering and desperate for food, she needed several weeks under the special care of the staff to nurse her back to full health.

And it seems as if the kindness and patience shown to her back then, left a long lasting impression.

During 8 years of living at the sanctuary, Jasmine cared for over 50 animals. She would take on the role of a surrogate mother, nursing them with affection as soon as they arrived.

Jasmine held no prejudice against the animals she would care for. The list of stray waifs nursed by her included several puppies, foxes, a fawn, 4 badger cubs, 15 chicks, 8 guinea pigs, 15 rabbits, a deer and a goose.

Scriptures are the footprints of the Buddhas - Rajneesh

Submitted by will on

Religion lives only while there is a living Master. Once the Master is gone, you have scriptures, words, memories, nostalgia, but the spirit has left. You only have the cage, the bird has flown.

That's how all the traditions have been created. When Jesus was there, there was life in what he was saying. Those words had fire. His passion was in his words; his heart was beating in his words.

Those words were hot. Now turn the pages of the Bible - those words are just ashes, just utterly cold. There is nothing left. You will have to again find a living Master.

And the problem is, when Jesus is alive nobody listens to him. He is condemned from every corner.

When he dies everybody worships him. The same people who had been condemning him become his worshipers. They start feeling guilty. To put their guilt right they start worshiping; worship comes out of guilt.

The same people who condemned Buddha become Buddhists and go on praising him for centuries.

But when the Buddha is alive he is condemned; only very rare courageous people follow him. The general masses are always against a living truth. They are too engrossed in their lies, they are too involved with their futile life, they are too ignorant to see the light or even to raise their eyes, and they become angry easily.

Loving & Understanding an Empath

Submitted by will on

Empath’s are unique personality types, their sensory levels are always on high alert, they are incredibly intuitive and their awareness and sensitivity to the energy levels that vibrate around them are extremely high.

If an empath senses something, they are not often wrong. If they think someone’s lying or that something is just “not right” you can bet your last dollar that they are not wrong.

Therefore, a basic understanding of this mystical and quite magical creature is highly beneficial.

Empaths have quite a few little quirks, traits and characteristics that are worth knowing about, and gaining a better understanding of, so that any relationship that is formed has a strong survival chance and also so that it thrives.

Empaths can be deeply misunderstood. It can take a little time to get to know them before they fully unravel and until their true magnificent spirit receives the opportunity to shine.

Love with an empath will be intense as they are energetically sensitive, therefore they will pick up on everything and anything that is happening around them. Regardless of whether emotions have been outwardly expressed, empaths will experience their partner’s emotions as deeply as they feel their own.
