Spiritual Work-- you go to the gym don't you?

The New Age industry is just that..... an industry. Like the "diet" industry .. ..and how many of those "just take this pill-- no exercise and no diet-- and you will lose weight" products work ? And yet those product companies make millions while personal trainers, who CAN get you in shape, cannot make a living.

When did the USA become a country of no effort and all gain?

I hear people comment on yogis and Gurus, psychics, healers  as having a "gift."  Well some surely do, but most that I know worked long and hard to develop, expand, and use all their talents. Yet the workshops that fill up are those that promise that if you come one time, Karma will be eliminated, prosperity will come in, etc.  Seriously, with the amount of workshops offered that promise all that success with one workshop or seminar, at least 1/2 the world should be rich, thin, and having great sex with a soulmate or twin flame.

Eating healthy, getting educated, staying fit, even learning to make better decisions in life are all lifestyle choices, not workshop one-timers.  A better lifestyle naturally produces more opportunities to be happy, to have joy.  Eating well, eliminating toxins, and exercising can relieve a majority mood disorders.

Consistent Spiritual work alters how you perceive the world-- which is the first thing we can truly address and change-- our perceptions !   A Spiritual lifestyle produces more opportunities to conquer Karma (we actually came here to do that-- not be relieved of it!),  and to learn to find an ecstasy that is more permanent than the momentary thrill of a new car or purse or shoes or one nighter. 

In the old days shamans and elders and medicine people, visionaries.....were treasured and supported by their communities so they could continue to have spiritual guidance-- spiritual "personal trainers" so to speak.  Choose your "get well" gurus with care. It IS an industry now and fame can make people do strange things. Fame can also demand that people do strange things demanding that industry needs come before other priorities. Use your logic as well as your heart when looking for practioners as the "get well" industry is alive and well.

Trauma Bonding in Friendships

Image
Trauma bonding in friendships Signs of Trauma Bonding When you continue to be fixated on people who hurt you and who are no longer in your life. When you crave contact with someone who has hurt you and who you know will cause you more pain. When you continue to revolve around people who you know are taking advantage of you or exploiting you. When you are committed to remaining loyal to someone who has betrayed you, even though their actions indicate few signs of change. When you are desperate to be understood, validated, or needed by those who have indicated they do not care about you. When you go to great lengths to continue to help, care-take, or consider people who have been destructive to you. There is a constant pattern of nonperformance. Your friend or partner continues to make promises only to break them consistently. There might be a boatload of apologies however there is no change in their act

Wong Loh (Huang-Lao): The Teacher

Image
Dr. Marie is an Initiated Student who has been with Wong Loh Sin See since 1986 . While she has studied many other modalities (shamanism, pagan, remote healing systems, nature spirits, crystals, life between lives regressions, animal communication, psychic talents, oracle cards and more) she considers Wong Loh her primary Teacher and with great respect and gratitude incorporates his philosophies and methods of meditation into all of her teachings and work with Students as well as Healings. You will see in these writings this "warning": No one else can claim to be assisting the Teacher as his representative. The Teacher himself is the only one who can make this acknowledgement. Both Wong Loh and Leong Tan have publicly acknowledged (in workshops and retreats) Dr. Marie's teachings and students in her area were instructed to continue their development by studying with her if they desired to eventually initiate with Wong Loh . The material presented here is the o

The Wounded Vulnerable Narcissist

Image
The Wounded Vulnerable Narcissist Many people are very self-critical and most, while acknowledging   they might indeed feel this way “sometimes”,   seem to be reluctant to do any work on these feelings or behaviors, other than “being positive” about themselves. And usually this means that “being positive” is the generic feel good kind of “thing” rather than being specific and realistic. Generic feel good statements (given either through self –talk or as complements from friends and new age teachers) are really not useful other than a quick hit of feel good emotions and perhaps as a distraction from some current uncomfortable emotions or challenges. For some reason, people seem to feel that if they actually go into their feelings, rather than continuing to bury them and attempting to live on top of what will become a self-perpetuating swamp land, that they are now being “negative” or perhaps will in fact “manifest” negativity (all the new age nonsense jargon).   People speaking in
