Spirituality and Drugs – Do They Mix?
On May 17, 2011 Dr. Joseph Mercola’s email newsletter featured an article on Rock Star Stevie Nicks’ use of both illegal and prescription drugs. Even though Stevie Nicks used illegal drugs such as cocaine and heroin in her past (and has detoxed from those drugs at centers such as the Betty Ford Clinic), she was quoted saying that her detox from prescription anti-depressants and tranquilizers “made Betty Ford look like a cakewalk.”
The Beauty of the SoulIn Rumi’s poem “Oh Soul”, he talks about how we worry too much – which is true, we do. We pay far too much attention to things that just don’t matter. If we allowed all those unimportant things to just fall by the wayside, and only focused on the truly important aspects of living, we’d be much more calm, much more peaceful.
The Word of God is our direct communication to Him. Study the Word to develop a closer relationship with God.
The Love of God and His PromisesKnowing God is not about restriction. Knowing God is about a promise of awesome support.
I Am Saved – Now What Do I Do?A new Christian believer often feels lost and overwhelmed. Here is the simple guidance needed to move forward in your new life.
Believers Are The Body of ChristBelievers in Jesus Christ are know as The Body of Christ in the Bible. Jesus is the head and believers are the members of His body.
It is important to consider the law of karma if you are interested in developing your psychic awareness. Karma is a strongly held belief in many cultures and by studying its theories we can begin to understand a little more about ourselves and the world around us.
Let Life Speak!If life could speak through you, what would it say to the world? What new creation would it bring forth? How would it have you be fulfilled and happy while offering your gifts and talents? As I’ve mentioned before, this is a time of great change, huge shifts, and a new emerging human consciousness. And that’s important because we are no longer being called upon to ‘save the world’, but instead to allow our unique gifts and talents to shine through whatever creation we feel called to make.
The End Of What?The world didn’t end on 5/21 as predicted. Not that most folks expected it to. But, with Biblical Revelations and New Age Eras and ancient prophesies forecasting big energetic shifts; and military skirmishes worldwide, along with corrupt governments and greedy corporate culture contaminating natural resources how does anyone feel peaceful in these challenging times? Perhaps a little studying, a lot of reflecting and a moment of grace will do the trick.
Who Is In The Driver’s Seat?Genesis 15:3 points out a characteristic that I struggle with. This illustrates our struggle with God’s timing. We want or expect things to happen the way we would like. God has reasons for not allowing certain things in our lives, even if we really want them. A “no” from God may have different meanings, though. “No” could mean “not ever” or just “not now.” Let’s look at a few Bible stories about people who took situations into their own hands.
The Secret Is You Can’t Create It Unless God Wants ItThere is a higher law in action here. Sorry folks, you can’t have everything you want when you want it.
The colour INDIGO probably became most well known with the onset of Levi Strauss denim jeans. A very deep blue it is recognised as the colour of the sixth chakra, known as the ‘brow chakra’ and also ‘the third eye’. It is the area where we receive and develop intuitive abilities and also the chakra from which healers can project colour, healing, and promote visualisation. It connects with the eyes and ears and sinuses, and is linked to the pituitary gland. When clear, and well connected with the crown chakra and pituitary gland, it forms one of the three triangles of light. An interesting personal experience took place when receiving a Reiki attunement myself, the image of a gold triangle appeared in my mind and remained whilst the attunement took place. Gold is the complementary colour for indigo.
