Finding your True Self

"Whatever you have forgotten, you can remember. Whatever you have buried you can unearth. If you are willing to look deep into your own nature, if you are willing to peel away the layers of not-self you have adopted in making your way through the tribulations of life, you will find that your true self is not as far removed as you think." -- Meredith Jordan

Spirituality

"Sometimes people get the mistaken notion that spirituality is a separate department of life, the penthouse of existence. But rightly understood, it is a vital awareness that pervades all realms of our being... Wherever we may come alive, that is the area in which we are spiritual." -- David Steindl-Rast

Awakening Your Soul

"Authentic spirituality awakens the soul, reconnects us with the sacred, and fills us with the passion of life. Spiritual development is not about religious rituals and practices; it is about waking up to the wonder of life." -- David N. Elkins

5 Fast Ways to De-Stress

5 Fast Ways to De-Stress by Mariève Inoue

We all know the holidays can be a chaotic time of year with all the shopping, prepping, and going from one gathering to the next. Often times, just taking a few minutes to decompress and change your mindset can lower your level of stress and help you face the rest of your day. Check out our five suggestions for taking a short break from all the madness and relaxing your body and soul and starting the year the right way.
1. Spend a few minutes petting your cat or dog or favourite person. Curl up with your favourite (furry) friend for a few minutes to get your mind off your stressful day. It has been found that people who have pets are likely to have lower blood pressure and to be better at dealing with stress—so don’t underestimate how much good sitting with your kitty or puppy or best friend for a few minutes can do.
2. Listen to your favourite song. We all have our favourite music for when we need to relax, or a boost of energy to get going. You know which songs put you in what mood, so turn on the stereo and listen to something calming to help you decompress for a bit, or pop in something upbeat to get you back into the groove of things.
3. Read for 10 minutes. Need to get your mind off your crazy schedule? Set a timer for 10 minutes and sit down with something to read. Whether it’s a novel you’re currently enthralled in, a magazine, or a self-help book, taking a few minutes to stop thinking about your hectic day and focusing your attention elsewhere will help you regain your composure.
4. Take some time to breathe. Breathing properly will help you relax and re-focus, so concentrate on your breathing pattern for a few minutes, inhaling through your nose, and exhaling through your mouth. Click here for more tips on breathing correctly.
5. Give yourself a short massage. Help your body relax by taking a few minutes to rub your neck, knead your arms, smooth your forehead, massage your scalp, pinch your eyebrows, etc. You can even use a ball to roll your feet over, or place it between your back and your chair for an easy back massage.Combine one, two, or three of these suggestions every day to keep your stress level under control this holiday season; and remember, the holidays are a joyous time of the year you should be enjoying with friends and family, so don’t fret over details and enjoy your life.

Beauty of Life

The beauty of life is feeling your true emotions on the inside. Do you ever get those GUT FEELINGS? When my thoughts are constantly racing in an unsteady pace, which I then act on without thinking...I am getting better at this, I definitely feel it on the inside. As long as I can recognize it I am taking the necessary actions to learn who I am. I need to make sure my head, heart and feet are lined up before making a decision. Is worrying about problems the solution or is it only that I am making it worse. Taking what I have for granted instead of appreciating the good in life that awaits me is overlooked at times. What more could I ask for. I have my health,good friends, great mentors and the ability to see, hear, and smell...and most importantly feel.I make sure that I notice the kindness others show in my everyday travels...I need to make sure I do not over focus on past experiences that arise which bring about the uncomfortable feelings inside me.Life is too short not to have fun and experience the joy of giving and sharing one's self as I wake up each day. I love starting ,my day off with some prayers & meditation on the beach. the change in tide, the fresh air, the peacefulness that comes from the ocean...This is truly a gift in my life that I get to do this.I have had to overcome small problems and worries that blocked me from feeling because of the lack of not understanding who I was and what my inner self told me I was. I need to make sure I apply my faith by not turning and running away from those feelings I have or had. I look around and see what's before me and come to realize I have the choice to live life to the fullest or watch it go by. All I have control of every day is my attitude. By making positive choices and decisions that you will remember, is how I perceive myself and know as my time passes that you will not have to ask myself why?Struggles and challenges of making a living and caring for one's self and loved ones is what most of us live forI am determined to make my life and peoples lives around me more meaningful and happy. Yes it is sometimes difficult when we fall short of our expectations and cry out in silence of wanting more...But remember Expectations are Pre-Meditated resentments and i must accept the situation or expectation but I DO NOT HAVE TO APPROVE IT.I like to think I am a person who (tries) to accept the good with bad and grateful that I am healthy and alive to be able to view life as the person who I am without regret or sorrow"My horizon can be reached for it is my tomorrow, I live for today"
