Intuition: Choosing something that’s right for you.

By Yollana November 19th, 2007

Comments

Intuition is like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets. Whenever you need to make a decision, even a little one like, “Should I wear white or yellow today?”, you have an opportunity to practice using your inner guidance to find what feels right for you. This can be especially useful around Christmas time – or any time you are out shopping for gifts for someone else. The first thing you want to do is MORE...

Excerpt from A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle

By Yollana November 18th, 2007

Comments

The Secret of Happiness Being at peace and being who you are, that is, being yourself, are one. The ego says: Maybe at some point in the future, I can be at peace – if this, that, or the other happens, or I obtain this or become that.

Excerpt from Return of The Bird Tribes, by Ken Carey

By Yollana November 12th, 2007

Comments

Chapter One The Bird Tribes I remember the day when I walked across the open prairie with my head held high and my feathers blowing in the wind. The soldiers saw only my silhouette against the sky. I walked slowly toward them, arms extended from my side, palms facing them in a gesture of peace. I watched the waves of love emanate forth from my hands, as powerful as the love I expressed before and after Golgotha. The soldiers shot me dead. I knew they would. But their children have been brought up on my teachings, have loved my spirit and have understood enough of my creative principles to sail to the moon. MORE...

Yoga- The Spirit and Practice of Moving Into Stillness

By Yollana November 12th, 2007

Comment

Excerpt from the Chapter "Stillness" by Erich Schiffmann The Peace Within You imagine a spinning top. Stillness is like a perfectly centered top, spinning so fast it appears motionless. It appears this way not because it isn't moving, but because it's spinning at full speed. Stillness is not the absence or negation of energy, life, or movement. Stillness is dynamic. It is unconflicted movement, life in harmony with itself, skill in action. It can be experienced whenever there is total, uninhibited, unconflicted participation in the moment you are in - when you are wholeheartedly present with whatever you are doing. MORE...

Embracing Opportunities for Compassion…

June 21st, 2008

It’s one of those conundrums that has been knocking around at the back of my mind for many months now (since the The Secret was released, and I read Ask and it is Given)… how do we remain positive and 'raise the spiritual vibration' our lives, without slipping into denial? MORE...
