Here you will find articles, videos, and photos to open your mind to the world of spirituality. When you start walking this path and investigating all the knowledge that is out there for you, you will find there is so much that you could study and read 24/7 and never get it all. Some things will resonate with you and some won't. When something does it will open your heart and get you excited about your life. You will find God and yourself in your search.Rev.

It has been neglected for such a long time.
I am peaceful and ready to move forward with some things..and each day gives me many opportunities.
I am living large and I am seriously blessed.

So, I am hoping you will pardon me for the time lost or is it really lost. The truth is I have been giving my wall on face book a lot of attention and have turned it into a spiritual class of sorts...just on line instead. It is time to get back to basics here and let you know that I am back.
The last 6 months of last year and into this year, I have gone through a lot of changes, but I think I am doing fine with it but there have been times when I wanted to run away to a mountain cabin and stay there for a while.
Every day offers new opportunities and I look at each one of them with a practiced eye.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They use your things without asking and even get offended if they do ask and you say no. Their ability to nurture and care for others is very slim.<br /><br />They try and take over, your space, the conversation and indeed your life if they can. In their minds, they always know better than anyone else. What you think is not an issue to them, it is all about what they think.<br />They will be constantly correcting and pointing out to you how you are wrong and they are right...and make no mistake about it, they are always right!<br />The normal courtesies and mutual respect for other people simply do not apply to them.<br />Being clear about what you will and will not tolerate goes right over their heads.<br />After a time, you will be forced to make a decision in finding other ways to enforce your boundaries that are stronger because these people in many cases just don't care what you think and want. It is all about them and no one else.<br />If you are normally a person of peace who tries all the spiritual methods of dealing with a person like this, it can be a real challenge to step out of the spiritual mind for a bit and deal with this from an entirely different level.<br /><br />These people do not make friends, they take hostages. The hostage will eventually rebel and walk away and have nothing more to do with them.<br />If you have someone like this in your life that is in your inner circle of family , friends, etc., You have probably put up with this for a longer time than most, trying everything you could think of to make the relationship work to no avail. You have even nicely let them have it more than once and maybe things changed for a bit but went right back to the status quo.<br /><br />Here you are in the thick of it and and stomach is churning and you feel yourself on edge, I have a suggestion for you...allow yourself to get angry! Yep. you heard me right, get royally pissed because you have a right to be upset. Even what we people on the spiritual path would normally call a negative emotion, can be a gift if you look at it in a new light. This emotion is clearly telling us there is something we must change something and pay attention to and at that point it becomes all about you and not them.<br /><br />I am not advocating throwing dishes or getting weapons of mass destruction out, what I am saying is to express the anger and let it rip out into the atmosphere. Express it. Holding it in is simply not good. It is said...and I believe it to be true that depression is nothing more than anger turned inward. I advocate speaking your truth but doing it in the right way and there are times when speaking our truth just might be verbal expression of anger. Imagine for a moment that the person in question is standing right in front of you and you suddenly, loudly and forcefully say, "NO!" Now, you have to admit just the thought of that felt good. Consider that you said it three times quickly and forcefully. It will be so quiet that you will hear a pin drop after you verbalize what is in your heart and energy field. Just saying that word is empowering. For me I have found it very effective and I will not ignore my anger. It is truly a gift.<br /><br />In whatever context that someone is not respecting you in any way and you feel angry, pay close attention and remember you cannot change any one else, you can only change yourself! When you start learning new ways to be in this world, you have the support of God and the entire force of the universe assisting you in making changes.<br />www.makeachoicenow.com</span>Rev.

Make a list of what you desire and phrase it in the present tense:<br />* "I have more than enough money to live a comfortable and relaxing life."<br />* "I am a beautiful person and heal others with my words."<br />2. Find a hobby or become reacquainted with an old one. Play an instrument, write, journal, dance, go for a walk, cook, etc.<br />3. Listen to your inner voice and shut out any negative thoughts. Tell them that they are "old news" and you don't need them anymore.<br />4. Come up with fun affirmations and place them around your home.<br />5. Breathe! Don't be so eager to respond in conversation or jump the gun when you are upset. Take a breath, or 5 breaths, before you say anything. This also applies if you are having a bad day.<br />6. Me-time is very important. Take a time out at least once a day to do something you enjoy.<br />7. Don't hide your feelings. Express them in a positive way by either journaling, talking to a friend, setting boundaries in relationships or speaking up and saying, "This doesn't feel right. I need a few moments before I decide."<br />8. If you must get angry, excuse yourself and be angry for a limited amount of time. Don't suppress your feelings. Afterward, have a good laugh about it. This also applies to other negative or self-defeating feelings.<br />9. Find the truth in others. Listen during conversations without thinking about how you will respond. Often we are paired with people who will teach us about our truth through mere reflection.<br /><br />There are many ways to express yourself: words, song, writing, cooking, dancing, etc. Make your world reflect what you desire. Remember that all these forms of self-expression are your gifts! What does your self-expression say about you and your reality? What are you telling the world you want to attract? Are these expressions coming from negativity or from your heart and a place of truth?<br />www.makeachoicenow.comRev.

Although heartbreaks, financial hardships and loss of jobs can seem like disasters, they can be blessings in disguise. Rather than think, "Wow! I was such a loser because I couldn't keep a job," focus on something good that came out of the experience. Perhaps losing a job ...pushed you into learning a more interesting trade or perhaps you met a special person in a new workplace. By shifting your thoughts and feelings, you are on your way to attracting positive people, situations and experiences into your life.<br /><br />How to Recreate the Past<br /><br />1. When a Negative Memory Creeps Up, Change It<br /><br />Daydream about how you would have liked the event to unfold while keeping in mind that you cannot change another person. Focus on feeling excited or happy, rather than on being upset about something that happened. Imagine feeling relieved that you did not get that job because it really wasn't right for you. Believe that breaking up with your ex was the right thing to do for the well being of you both.<br /><br />2. Change the Beliefs You Created From Past Events<br /><br />Do you believe that love is hard? Do you believe you will always have financial difficulty? Change these beliefs. Visualize yourself laughing at those beliefs. Isn't it silly to think that the Universe doesn't want you to have success like other people? Isn't it hilarious that we gave so much power over to another person or situation that it altered our thoughts? Embrace the belief that you have the power to change it all for your highest good.<br /><br />3. Find the Lessons in Your Experiences<br /><br />What did you learn from negative experiences? What did you gain? Remember to focus on the positive. Do not think about how you spent two weeks on the couch eating cookie dough because some guy didn't want you. Instead, relax into the mental state where you had those "aha" moments. By focusing on the lessons, you'll be attracting more "Ah Ha" Moments about the past and your current situations. This place of clarity and acceptance will bring peace to your life.<br />www.makeachoicenow.comRev.

This happens when we give away our power by worrying too much about what another person is feeling, thinking and doing. Rather than focus on ourselves, we channel all of our energy into a situation that we cannot control. Can we truly control another? No! So, why exhaust all of our energy into a futile cause? Focusin...g on someone else at the expense of our own independence puts us in a powerless position. Our self-identity is compromised when we define ourselves by the feelings or actions of another person.<br /><br />* Do you rely on the thoughts and feelings of others to determine what you should do?<br />* Do you seek constant validation from others so that you can feel good about yourself?<br />* Are your dreams defined by what another person thinks you should do?<br />* Where are you in this equation?<br />* Do you even exist?<br />* Or are you just a robot that lives by the program of another persons thoughts and feelings?<br /><br />Self-esteem and self-acceptance issues are the primary reasons we find ourselves in this place of "need". We are not confident in our judgment. We lack the faith that no matter what happens, we will be provided for in every way. It's human to have vulnerable feelings every now and then, but it's debilitating to your spirit to constantly dwell on someone else. Let it go, realize you are the only person worth your energy and focus.<br />www.makeachoicenow.comRev.

But forgiving can in a practical way be extremely beneficial for you.<br /><br /><br />One of the best reasons to forgive can be found in this quote by Catherine Ponder:<br /><br />“When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.”<br /><br />As long as you don’t forgive someone you are linked to that person. Your thoughts will return to the person who wronged you and what s/he did over and over again. The emotional link between the two of you is so strong and inflicts much suffering in you and – as a result of your inner turmoil – most often in other people around you too.<br /><br />When you forgive you do not only release the other person. You set yourself free from all of that agony.Rev.

Diannia Baty<br /><br />Last night I started having computer issues and during this time I could rapidly see how much I have grown spiritually, emotionally and mentally.<br />There was a time when this would have sent me into a panic and it would have ruined my hours and days until I got it resolved.<br />... Now, I use all my tools of mind, body and spirit to deal with it.<br /><br />1. Using the powers of the mind, I mentally take inventory of what I am thinking and change whatever thoughts need to be changed. If there is a negative thought, I use a affirmation that is powerful instead. In this case, I stated, " Stay calm. The solution is at hand and it will be resolved quickly. Be at peace."<br /><br />2. I checked in with my body to see if any signals of stress was present. Stiff neck, agitation, shallow or fast breathing or irritation in my stomach would be signs that my body was reacting to my thoughts.<br /><br />3. Spiritually, I start using gratitude, staying in the now and I send out a request to the spiritual realm for assistance and guidance for fast resolution. I know my spirit guides and guardian angels will rise to the occasion every single time.<br /><br />4. I thank my creator by saying, "I thank you for everything as it is already on its way."<br /><br />5. I LET GO!<br />www.makeachoicenow.comRev.

First I would like to clarify what a life coach is not. A life coach is not a therapist though at times it may feel like that. A powerful life coach will assist you in being your own th...erapist as you are guided gently in initiating change within yourself.<br />In this “working together” relationship you will find that there are two efforts working toward a common goal. You will be provided insight and guidance from an outside vantage point to go from “tunnel vision” to “total vision” of your life.<br />This is a partnership based on an on-going collaborative effort based on taking action.<br /><br />In this powerful alliance you will find yourself…<br />1. Doing more than you would on your own.<br />2. You will take yourself and your life more seriously.<br />3. You will create more momentum and consistency.<br />4. You will take more focused and effective action.<br />5. You will be more balanced and fulfilled.<br /><br />People hire a SLC when they want to make changes, are feeling dissatisfied, anxious, depressed, stuck, feeling lost and unsure what to do next. Relationships, health, career issues, and feeling separated from God are the main reasons you may seek a SLC rather than a therapist or psychologist because the other avenues of help simply did not work for you.<br />Spiritual Life Coaching is action motivated. It is about moving forward and not dwelling on the past.<br /><br />It doesn’t matter how you got to where you are or who is to blame for how you turned out.<br />Coaching is about where you are now and where you would like to be. With a spiritual life coach as your guide you are able to define your dreams, recognize what’s holding you back and move forward with clarity of vision.<br />www.makeachoicenow.comRev.

There is a sweet couple I have been coaching. They are BIG supporters and friends. Although, we have never met I love them so much. They are like a lot of older couples who are in their golden years, living on a fixed income with family and health issues. I do not charge them. I just want to help. They are worth it. Their hearts are so open. My desire wa...s to empower them and brings some peace and clarity in their lives.<br />I will copy and paste her message below as I do not want to give out names so they can maintain their privacy.

This fiery herb – known to most as a spice – has been shown to stop a heart attack in as little as 3 minutes after taking it.<br /><br />So what is this wonder herb?<br /><br />Cayenne pepper (Capsicum annuum).<br /><br />Medical practitioners both ancient and contemporary have touted the medicinal<br />properties of cayenne as well as a variety of hot peppers (including bird, chili, and Tabasco) due to their high content of capsaicin.<br /><br />Capsaicin is one of seven capsaicinoid compounds present in peppers, and is the<br />primary compound responsible for the hot sensation of the pepper fruit, as well as its medicinal benefits.<br /><br />It has long been claimed that cayenne, due to its high capsaicin content, is useful in stopping a heart attack in under three minutes, without damaging the heart muscle. A similar claim is made of capsaicin’s ability to abort an in-progress stroke.<br /><br />The late pioneer herbalist Dr. John Christopher recommended a glass of cayenne tea be given every 15 minutes until the medical crisis (heart attack) passes. Alternatively, it is said that a teaspoon of cayenne tincture (Google: Christopher’s Original Formula Cayenne Exract™) every 15 minutes is equally effective.<br /><br />Dr. Christopher wrote,<br />In 35 years of practice, and working with the people and teaching, I have never on house calls lost one heart attack patient…if they are still breathing, I pour down them a cup of cayenne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot water), and within minutes they are up and around… The warm tea is faster working than tablets, capsules, cold tea, because the warm tea opens up the cell structure…and it goes directly to the heart, through the artery system… Cayenne is a certain remedy for heart attack; as a stimulant, it can start the heart into action again, and as it facilitates blood flow throughout the body, it will keep the heart going.<br />In the September 2009 edition of the journal Circulation, Keith Jones, Ph.D. and a group of researchers from the Department of Pharmacology and Cell Biophysics at the University of Cincinnati announced findings which shed new light on capsaicin’s relationship to heart function. This information gives credence to Dr. Christopher’s anecdotal reporting, and takes capsaicin’s near-miraculous effects to the level of evidence-based medicine.<br /><br /><br />The University researchers found that an over-the-counter pain salve containing capsaicin rubbed on the skin during a heart attack is a cardio-protectant which can prevent or reduce heart damage while other interventions are administered. Dr. Jones’ team found that applying capsaicin to the stomachs of mice caused sensory nerves in the skin to trigger signals in the nervous system which activate cellular “pro-survival” pathways in the heart, reducing cardiac cell death by 85%. Apparently skin—the largest organ of the human body—has evolved to protect animals, including humans, in a variety of ways. The researchers also found that a small incision made on the abdomen triggered an 81% reduction in cell death.<br /><br />The researchers stated,<br />Topical capsaicin has no known serious adverse effects and could be easily applied in an ambulance or emergency room setting [or by anyone present including the victim] well in advance of coronary tissue death. If proven effective in humans, this therapy has the potential to reduce injury and/or death in the event of a coronary blockage, thereby reducing the extent and consequences of heart attack.<br /><br />Both this and the capsaicin effect are shown to work through similar neurological mechanisms. These are the most powerful cardio-protective effects recorded to date…This is a form of remote cardioprotection, using a skin stimulus that activates cardioprotection long before the blocked coronary artery is opened… All of the current interventions require the vessel to be opened before doctors can act, and since it takes time to elicit protection, tissue dies…This treatment will protect the heart before the vessel is opened while producing a strong protective effect that is already active when we open the vessel.<br /><br />By activating these sensors in the nervous system, via skin, we think that a response to preserve and protect the heart is triggered…We think that this technique is fooling the body into sending out protective signals…This may be similar to the way certain acupuncture treatments work; there may be a neurological basis. In a broad sense, this work may provide a ‘Rosetta stone’ for translating alternative medicine techniques like acupuncture to Western medicine. Perhaps we can understand the biological mechanisms<br />of how alternative treatments may be successful for patients…This could help create favorable outcomes for those who are experiencing stroke, shock or are in need of an organ transplant, and the best part is that it is done non-invasively and is relatively inexpensive. (2)<br /><br />Additional Healing Benefits of Cayenne Pepper…<br /><br />*<br />In addition to alleviating tissue damage from a cardiac event, this miraculous herb has a wide range of other healing benefits.<br /><br />Cayenne Pepper, Ground in Powder<br />In fact, cayenne is a powerful natural aid in:<br /><br />* Weight Loss – Burns extra calories in a way similar to exercise and suppresses appetite<br />* Wound Healing – From minor abrasions to gunshot wounds, applying cayenne powder topically (or with hot tea internally) causes blood to clot and can stop the bleeding within seconds. Also prevents scarring when applied topically.<br />* Detox and Cleansing<br />* Digestion<br />* Lowering blood pressure<br />* Stopping an in-progress stroke<br /><br />Dr. Christopher recommends…<br />Cayenne in Hot Water (tea) For a heart attack – 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a cup of hot water, or one teaspoon of cayenne tincture, every 15 minutes until the crisis passes.<br /><br />If you currently have heart problems or know someone who does, take a few minutes and put some cayenne in a capsule or put a teaspoon or two in a small baggy and keep it in your purse or wallet; you never know whose life you may save.Rev.

Do you think that everyone that shops in thrift stores is poor? Do you think a few black men standing on a street corner are criminals?<br />This list is endless as I could go on and on but the fact of the matter is if you examine your judgments, you will find out a lot about yourself.
