Have you made peace with your past? Before you answer that, take a moment and ask yourself the following questions: Do you feel grounded each and every day?  Are you consciously aware of the present? Are you genuinely at peace here in this moment?  Are you content with your life?   Are you content with who you are?  Do you rarely think of the past?   And when you do, c an you honestly look back on past events and situations and have a better understanding of what took place and why?   Can you think about people whom you lost, be it through a physical death or them leaving you to be with someone else, and know it wasn't anything you did/didn't say or do/didn't do?    Can you think about these people without getting upset or going into a fit of rage?   Can look at your past and feel nothing but satisfaction and gratitude? *~*~* If you can answer yes to most of the above questions,  you're well on your way to being 100...

We   are living in an age of re-educating ourselves.  Which is   the main reason I began this Blog.   With knowledge comes understanding, and with understanding comes healing.  Over the next 6 weeks I will be covering Six Things To Practice During 2014 .  But before going into all that, I believe it important that we come into an understanding as to why we dwell on the past.  And too, how it effects the brain and subsequently creates an addiction that leads to other outside addictive behaviors.      Dwelling on the past is, for many, an addiction.     But unlike the other types of addictions we know about, such as drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling and so on,  our addiction to the past is still pretty much seen as a harmful past-time.  After doing some research on the matter, it is clear that Medical Science is working diligently to connect emotional dis-ease with outside physical ailments.   Following...

A psychologist first coined the phrase "Internet addiction" in 1995, when the web was in its infancy. He meant it as a joke. But now, with the first hospital-based Internet addiction treatment center opening next week at the Behavioral Health Services at Bradford Regional Medical Center in Pennsylvania, Internet addiction is no longer considered a laughing matter. The voluntary, 10-day in-patient treatment program will admit up to four people who have been diagnosed with severe Internet addiction. First, they'll undergo an extensive evaluation and a "digital detox" that prohibits phone, tablet or Internet use for at least 72 hours.

The following article was first presented roughly seven years ago.   Of course, I had a little help from my spirit companion ... Antari!  :-) Seeing how St. Valentine's Day is less than a week away, I thought I would repost it! What Is Love? The definitions of Love is as vast as the Universe itself.  It is the only emotion that has it's own Holiday (St. Valentine's day), it's the only emotion that has more songs and poems dedicated in it's name than anyone could possibly count or remember.  But do you, as an individual, really comprehend and fully understand the true definition of Love? Love can be found anywhere & everywhere.  And best of all,  when you least at expect it! There are different levels of love such as love for your spouse,  your boyfriend/girlfriend; the love you have for your parents and your assorted relatives & siblings; the love for a child, a pet or a dea...
