Some Old Fashioned Ways to Stay Warm A few weeks ago a friend of mine mentioned that she and her husband try each year to make it until Thanksgiving before turning on the heat in their home for the first time. She said, "It gives us yet another thing to be thankful for." I was shocked they can go so late in the season without turning on the heat even once! But I was also inspired by her story. I would like to match them this year. You see, you can insulate like crazy, close off rooms you don’t use, and give your furnace a tune-up, but these things won’t make you more tolerant of the...

Illness exists in the conscious mind. In order for one to be ill they have to know that they are. One’s illness will also be present in the minds of those who know you as sick and if you know someone as being sick then you are unwittingly supporting their illness.

About 15 people attended the Deeksha including four teenagers, adults a cat and a dog. One of the practitioners announced that the sess...

How to Start A Compost? Composting is difficult. The wonderful truth is you couldn't stop stuff from decomposing if you tried. A good compost bin or pile will decompose items quickly. A poor one will still decompose items, but slowly. Consider your location carefully. You don't want a compost to send smelly air downwind to your house on a hot day, but you also don’t want to have to walk far from your kitchen to put things into it on a cold or rainy day. If your compost is located to receive sun, the contents will break down faster than if you put it in a shady place. A compost c...

You might not think this is necessary to learn Spanish. After all, you didn't come to socialize, right? The truth is that knowing these people will make it easier to interact and communicate with them. Your learning experience will be much more ...

Everyone seems to be talking about having goals. Actually what is a goal? How do I go about reaching my goals? How do I create a goal? The definition of a goal is "the purpose toward which an endeavor is directed: an objective. "It also states a synonym as "intention". By using the word intention, a goal may not seem as foreboding. When we put our attention on our intentions, we can evaluate what it is we actually want. Ask yourself "What do I want to accomplish during the day"? An answer might be "I want to write a report for my boss that he requested". Bam; you have just created a ...

Giving vs. Getting If I said, "I'll give you a million dollars if you come up with more time, more money, more health and more love in your life – fast," what would be your first thought, your first inclination? If you're like most people, you'd either react with some fear-based emotion reflecting a feeling of not-enoughness, or your mind would quickly begin to create a strategy about how to go out and get what you need, right? Well, that's to be expected. This is a human knee-jerk reaction. But it is totally counterproductive. And when you look at it from a metaphysical point of view, it...
