Dreams Meaning

- Exact Proven Scientific Translations

There are too many dream interpreters and too many methods of dream interpretation, but none of them can assure you that they have really translated the exact meaning of each symbol that appeared in your dreams. They may somehow tell you what the symbol may mean, without explaining to you anything about the way they found their answers and without completely trusting their interpretation. Everyone is confused in this matter.

When I was searching the dream’s meaning, I had great difficulty in finding the method that could really help me. I looked for all the existing scientific methods because I understood that each psycholog172Dist gives importance to our dreams. The dreams seemed to be an important source of information, but I couldn't translate their language in order to understand their messages.

Many people want to learn the dreams’ meaning because they believe that their dreams can make predictions and give them important information about many things they want to learn. When I started to study my dreams I wanted very much to discover this part too. I never looked for popular dream interpretations, because I understood that they were subjective and baseless. Of course, one may find some remarkable translations of the dreams’ symbols that really correspond to their real meaning because they are the result of observation of many people.

Let’s suppose that some people from a village care about their dreams and that each time that someone in the village sees a certain object in their dream, something terrible happens to the village. Then they relate that object as a sign of bad luck. This way, many popular interpretations are valid. However, we never know if these popular interpretations are really the result of many years of observation and the result of the comparison of many dreams and many similar facts or events, or if they are just someone’s opinion.

So, we cannot trust these interpretations, even though some of them can be really helpful, if they are really the result of the observation of many people and the comparison of many dreams and facts related to them, because this is the way that a scientist discovers the symbolic meaning of a dream. This study when done by a scientist is very serious; it’s not the result of two or three comparisons. A scientist has to give us explanations. He cannot just say that this thing means that and expect us to accept his statement as if it were undoubtedly true.

Many psychologists and psychiatrists tried to translate the strange language of dreams, but until today, nobody knows for sure who discovered the truth. Some people believe that one of them is right, whereas some follow another one, and some don’t give any importance to their dreams. Dream interpretation is not something that we could specifically define and it’s not something that people consider important. Most people usually completely despise the dreams they see when they sleep.

So, it is an obscure matter.

I couldn't accept this situation though and I studied the dreams intensely, searching for the correct interpretation until I found it. Τoday we know for sure which is the exact translation of the symbolic language of our dreams, which I have proved like a scientist in my scientific ebook about this subject, continuing the research made by the famed psychiatrist and psychologist Carl Jung, who really discovered the exact translation for the dreams’ symbols!

However, Carl Jung’s method is very complicated, and he can scarcely be understood. Besides, he accepts ignorance in the end of his trip inside the human psyche, while I had indications from the unconscious that produces the dreams showing me that I should continue the research beyond the point where Jung accepted ignorance and stopped it.

My discoveries were amazing, so amazing that nobody believed me when I started telling everyone what I found inside the human psychic sphere. That’s why I had to write a book, explaining to everyone what exactly is hidden in the human psychic sphere, after explaining them how we can translate the exact symbolic meaning of our dreams.

I greatly simplified Jung’s complicated method, discovering for myself many meanings he could not find. Moreover, I realized that our dreams are more than very important, because they can cure us from the craziness we inherit in our psychic sphere. They can show us anything and help us solve any problem!

It’s also true that we can predict the future interpreting our dreams, but the visions we see are not about the things we desire to see, they are very serious. We see dreams with visions only when they’ll help us understand something very important or when they’ll help us avoid a big danger. It’s not true that we cannot change our destiny if we can predict that something bad is going to happen to us. If we follow the wise orientation the unconscious gives us in our dreams, we can certainly avoid what is bad and find the path that will lead us to peace and psychic health.

How to Increase Healing Energy Now

Spiritual Healing Holistic Techniques -

The true nature of healing is about generating optimum energy in order to fully enjoy living your life. Healing is much more than a technique of doing, it is a state of Being; Being at peace with ourselves, our bodies, our relationships and our lives. Let's explore how to create more healing energy to improve your health and the quality of your life.

Healing is a return to wholeness by achieving balance in your life. To get started, we need to explore the nature of health and let go of some outdated concepts. During childhood, were taught that healing is only a means to fix and cure. We learned that healing happens as a reaction to illness or something to focus on when we're sick. Many traditional methods of healing in our culture are about fighting and conquering illness and disease. However, the fundamental flaw with these approaches is that they consider healing a static , something to "do" once you're already sick.

There is a saying,"a person is alive, but not really living." Traditional healing is about keeping the body alive, sometimes at all costs. In the medical field, death is seen as failure. There are many souls trapped in physical bodies due to the advancement of medicine. There are even machines that will keep your lungs breathing for you. Just keeping a body alive, doesn't produce a state of healing.

Wholeness honors and respects all four levels of your being. It begins by owning and respecting your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. These four levels of being or "bodies" are the foundation to wholeness that leads to creating optimum health. Genuine healing is a return to wholeness by achieving balance in your life.

The Four Levels of Your Being that Produce Health and Wellness.

The first level of healing is with your physical body. It's the most visible aspect of our being. We can easily identify and see the symptoms of illness physically. However, the lack of illness doesn't define a state of health and wellness. Unfortunately, many people use their body as the only barometer to determine if they are healthy or ill. If there are no symptoms or pain in my body, then I must be healthy. Right? That like saying, well if we aren't at war... then we must be at peace! Right? Wrong! You'll soon see that the physical body is only the first of four bodies to evaluate your state of health and wellness.

Healing begins by making choices to care for your body. Ask yourself these questions to evaluate your relationship to your body.

Do you appreciate your physical body? Do you find it easy to accept or do you constantly criticize your body? Are you ashamed of your body? Are you measuring it against standards of perfection that are impossible to achieve? If so, then ask yourself why and write down your answers in a journal. Writing it down helps you reflect deeper. These four questions will help determine your current relationship with your physical body and can be a catalyst to jump start your healing process. Be honest with your answers and write them down.

You may discover you have been in a very dysfunctional relationship with your body. If so, forgive yourself and begin to accept, appreciate and respect your body, just as it is. Acceptance, appreciation and respect will quickly change the dysfunctional relationship with your body. It can also help develop positive habits to care for your body and nuture it toward health.

A Few Suggestions to Appreciate and Respect Your Body;

• Exercise daily to provide stimulation to your internal organs.

• Eat nourishing foods with live energy such as fruit and vegtables.

• Breathe oxygen filled air to continually renew your energy.

• Expose your body to sunlight in small doses on a regular basis.

• Sleep well and allow for plenty of time to rest and revitalize.

• Discover new ways to experience pleasure and comfort.

• Accept any physical limitations and love your body as it is.

The Second Level of Healing is with Your Emotional Body.

The next level of healing is within your emotional nature. Many people experience a dysfunctional relationship with their emotional body. This is due to a lack of understanding about the nature of emotions. We were never taught how to keep our emotions healthy. Instead, we were encouraged to devalue and repress them producing emotional negativity. This unhealthy relationship leads to emotional stress and can be the source of many physical health problems.

Science is now discovering how emotions have a direct and immediate effect on the physical body. It is almost instantaneous and is the basis of the body mind connection. For example fear triggers adrenoline and causes the fight or flight response in a millisecond of that feeling being triggered. Mental emotional stress influences your physical health, by changing your chemistry, immune system and blood pressure.

What constitutes a positive emotion versus a negative one? Many people get stuck when it comes to dealing with their emotional body. The most common reason is that we divide our emotions into categories of "good" and "bad" feelings. The "good" ones we have deemed worthy of feeling. On the other hand, the "bad" emotions are deemed unacceptable, and we tend to ignore, deny or repress them. It is our judgement of our emotional nature that creates the dysfunction on this level of our being.

Judging emotions as "good" and "bad", creates emotional negativity. Traditionally we're taught to feel the "good" or as I prefer to call them, "expanding emotions", then we are being positive. However, if we feel the "bad" or "contracting emotions", we are being negative. This division of good and bad with your emotions produces negativity that leads to dysfunction.

You'll begin to create5B4 healing on this level rapidly, by changing how you define your emotions. Begin by letting go of the judgments of good and bad. Instead, think of them as expanding and contracting. Then think about breathing and ask your self, "Is inhaling good and exhaling bad?" No... you need to do both to breathe properly, and so it is with your emotions, they work together expanding and contracting to guide and protect you through your life. When you let go of the conditioned judgments from your childhood you will take a major step toward emotional health and wellbeing.

Honesty is the most positive emotional state of being. Being emotionally aware of your feelings regardless if they are expanding or contracting is being honest about how you really feel. Simply being honest, is the most positive relationship you can have with your thoughts and feelings, so drop the judgments of good and bad, and just be honest. Self respect is not having to apologize for how you honestly feel, it is a state of honoring your thoughts and feelings. This is one way to develop self respect.

All emotions have purpose and offers feedback about your life. Every emotion is a natural feedback mechanism to gain greater understanding of how you're doing in your life. They are meant to provide guidance on your journey through life. To fully respect yourself is to be honest with how you feel emotionally so that you can change it.16D0 Denying emotions keep them alive and can haunt you for years. When you think about an area of your life that isn't working the way you want, you will naturally feel constricting emotions and likewise, the areas that are working well will feel expansive.

If you feel anger, then be angry! Don't try to convince yourself that your not. Feel it, express it (responsibly) and release it (forgiveness) and then get back to feeling happy and free again. Emotional honesty is the most powerful and positive way to be. However, if you deny your anger, you can attract all kinds of negative experiences, all in the name of trying to "be positive". It never works to deny what you are honestly feeling. Honesty is the best policy and will set you free especially on an emotional level.

How to Develop a Healthy Relationship with Your Emotional Body.

It begins with honesty and a willingness to feel and express your emotions and then release them. Whether its anger, hurt, love, or joy, the emotions need to be felt and released. This creates a positive emotional state of being. How we relate to our emotions determines their positive or negative impact in our lives.

Can Love be Negative and Anger be Positive? Yes, they both have the potential of being either positive or negative depending upon how you relate to them. When you express your emotions, they become a positive influence in your life. Likewise, when you repress them, they turn negative and can wreck havoc on your health.

Unexpressed love can be tremendously negative. Repressed love can change the chemistry of your body, your blood pressure and eventually contribute to heart disease. Love on an emotional level is energy. When we refuse to let energy flow, it becomes repressed and can cause many physical complications.

How to turn anger into a positive experience: Anger that you feel (honestly), express (responsibly) and release through forgiveness, can create positive changes in your life. Anger holds a part of your will power. When you feel your anger and express it constructively, you can access this trapped will power to create discipline and positive changes.

How to begin honoring your emotional nature. Begin to give yourself permission to feel all of your emotions without judgment and to express them constructively. You can best do this, by journaling. Write down your feelings on a regular basis is a great way to express this energy and release it from your emotional body. It may take some practice, but it will ultimately lead to a healthier state of being.

The Third Level of Healing is on the Mental Level

The power of our mind is limitless. How do you relate to this God given gift, called your human mind? Do you recognize the value of it to change your life or do you disregard your mental power? Most people have never been taught to appreciate the power of their minds.

Mental empowerment begins by making a personal choice. Understanding how the mind works and how to use the mental tools that are available to you, begins mental empowerment. The four mental tools to create wellness (as well as any other change in your life) are:

1. Imagination 2. Thoughts 3. Beliefs 4. Choice

These four mental tools contain the power to improve or destroy your life. They create the nature of your attitude and your self image. You can not fully understand your inner power without owning these tools and using them to create the life you desire.

Mental healing begins by making a choice to use the power of your mind.

THE CHOICE: To believe your thoughts are powerful and attract and create your experiences... or, to believe that it doesn't matter what you think. Life isn't a choice, it is only an experience that you have no control over.

If we deny our thinking and imagination, we are out of alignment with our mental power on this third level of our being. Thus, disempowered on the mental level of our being; leading to illness rather than wellness.

When you believe your mind holds the key to your personal power, you become more conscious of your thoughts and choices. You understand that your imagination is where all change begins; First in your mind and then in your life. Make the choice to understand these tools, learn about them and use them to lead you closer toward healing and wholeness.

"Imagination is more powerful than knowledge." -Albert Einstein

Disempowered individuals believe that the imagination is just "pretend" and has no power, it is only make believe. When we engage our imagination and visualize the healthy expression of ourselves in our minds, we will create the blueprint of our future. Your imagination is a preview or your lifes experiences. Use it!

How to Access the Power of Your Imagination to Change Your Life. The quickest way I know is to practice visualization and guided imagery techniques. You can discover how to focus your attention and use your imagination by learning to meditate. This is the quickest method I know to gain access to the power of your mind. (See my guided meditations)

The Forth Level is Spiritual Healing: Your Relationship to the Divine.

Your spiritual nature, regardless of your religion or lack of it, is about a personal and private relationship with the Divine, with God. What is God? Most simply put, God is Love. To honor God is to honor your relationship with love.

Beyond the emotional expression of human love is divine love. A love that begins by being understanding, compassionate and forgiving. Divine love is so much more than emotional love. It is the ultimate state of being. Being a loving person, becomes the foundation through which you establish permanent healing and activate your life-force energy to create wholeness thB68at leads to mental, emotional and physical healing.

Spirituality is your personal relationship with God. If God created... all-that-is, then everything is a creation of God (love). Spirituality is the way we relate to our lives with love or without it. Spirituality is not a ritual we do on Sunday and it's not a book with rules and regulations, that's religion. Spirituality's only rule is love. Love is the way you relate to living your life.

Spirituality is your personal relationship to everything in your life. Spirituality is your relationship with your body, emotions, and mind. Spirituality is your relationship to your work, money, family and friends and it all hinges upon wether those relationships are based on love and understanding or judgement and seperation. Being loving is the most healing and powerful experience to change the nature of your life. It is the ultimate healing energy.

When we honor our relationship with God we recognize that our free-will choice to love God is really about choosing to love ourselves and everything and everybody in our lives.

The true nature of healing is focused on loving yourself enough to:

• Nurture your body by meeting its needs for health

• Honor your emotions and handle them honestly

• Value the power of your mind to overcome resistance to change

• Knowing that spirituality is simply about choosing to love

• Ask God for healing and strength to reach your full potential

• Remember that God isn't separate from the physical world.

The purpose of holistic healing is to create heaven on earth by becoming whole and at one with all that is. Only then can wholeness and healing become as natural as breathing. The true nature of health becomes the way we live our lives, not just a quick and temporary cure to fix or keep our body alive!

Aliveness is the natural way to increase your energy. Aliveness emerges from a healthy relationship with all four levels of your being, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Aliveness is being physically energized, emotionally free, mentally clear and spiritually connected to life. Spirituality healing is a choice available to everyone. The choice to access the power within whenever we choose and to remember we are loved by God and the way to love God is to love our lives and create a healthy wholeness with all-that-is. Applying these secrets will increase your healing energy and create positive changes on all levels of your life

The Crossroad Being

- Spirituality

Is necessary to confirm that there is no rule to love, to feel, to spirit ourselves by renewing it into a self-confident world or by a vituosity in handling ourselves in character of our ancestors. Perhaps the most appeal of this sublime realistic mold is that we are capable of doing everything as a result of such symbolic rule. That rule is belongs to the spiritual paramount of communication and that it does not have any subordinate position to church or to gods.

By making ourselves as a performer of distinct archievement and firm in what we are made of, our life grows by itself. A life that lands on its own combination of linguistic, cultural, and biological traits does not have difficult in discerning how it came into existence and gave us, with others, the effect of development because of the unique spirit of its relatively unimportant. What is important that humans differentiated from the other animals by their ability to engage in reflective action. Humans can think about what they do before they do it.

In the West Indians, life has the most significant visual symbols because we have learned what it means. And it continues to grow in Trinidad, in the Orinoco River, in South America, in the peninsula of Yucatan, and in North America.

Who were they? Who might have the cruel intention to take them away from us for their personal gain? What would be then their messages to us into this pristine but horrified environment in order to worship their presence by the ancestral eyes? What would be their spiritual archievement of reference within our souls?

To find it out, we should find the voices of the forest with its wild birds and animals, its fruits and vegetables, palms, guavas; as we here define life it is also, in the rainfall, in the oceanic feeding, where we can find fish, and waterfowls that make it so spiritual for them. This chronological spiritual that nothing could separate to the "truth" to which we all are related.

Again, who they were? Where can we learn about them without contrasting their lives and their powers, admitting and accepting, in our minds and hearts that they were here? Where were their poems? Their gods? Their emotional summers? Their pains? Their loves? And most important, their ways of thinking, their experience, their knowledge, and their findings?

In these American lands, we sumbit to whatever come along, that things are the rich of our culture and love, differentiated in both language and culture. They were a soul in Tainos or Arawak or Sioux.

Respect our Indians; they gave us life, too. They gave us the potters, the woodworkers, and the wavers. They gave us their classes --nitaino and naboria, more predominated by the subjugation what we feel today. Also they showed us how to fight for freedom through the spiritual of Zemis and the meaning of the self. In the casabe and in the sacred grounds that molded all cultivated fruits for living. The pleasure of "being transported" and "being restored" by the cleanness was another contribution.

Their religion was not savage. Who dares to say Europeans are more closer to God than they were, the racers of Zemis? There may be in the future some people brought up in the habit --energy, mentality, and imagination based on the philosophers' erroneous view. Their religion was as closer as water. In its supreme beings are not different than Malachin or Levitcus.

The Supreme Bings
Yucahu, the lord of Cassava and Zemis of the sea, where the goddess of fresh water and human fertility is the sense of life. We will come back to it over and over. Zemis the god, is the simplicity of the soul, the misunderstanding of topographic characteristics and the fundamental aspect of the destruction under the European conquistadors.

Their Religion
It constitutes a model of stone, bones, shells, and the potteries. But the evidence for this is our own flesh.

The Affective Understanding
Unlike the present inhabitants of the West Indies, Florida, Puerto Rico, or Cuba --in the most reminiscent footsteps who have reason to believe it -- it is pitaloid for the purpose that they are the spirit of life, the spirit of living. Also they brought us the dances, the mountains filled with imagination of being there --died for us -- with the ability to transform themselves (and us ) into the original songs.

All is flowered Vision
All Vision is perfect.
And every thing that give us such Vision
Is a undergoing by God Zemis.

Love Yourself First

By: Lisa Martin




On the route to discovering better balance in your life, one of the key indicators of your success will be your ability to become more self-content.

One way to develop a strong sense of self-contentment is to give yourself the gift of self-appreciation. Offer yourself the same respect and kindness you give to others you care deeply for.

Feel good in your own skin

I’ve noticed that women have a tendency to focus on what is "wrong" about themselves versus what is "right." We tend to pick out and pick on the parts of ourselves that we like the least. These can be physical and/or character traits. A sure-fire way to know whether you suffer from this malaise is to take my "mirror" test. When you see your reflection is your first thought a complimentary or critical one? If you answered critical (like most of us), it's time to take a new approach.

Being happy in your own skin means getting comfortable with who you are and what you want out of life. Instead of focusing on what you don't like about yourself, try honoring and appreciating what makes you unique. Is it your attitude, smile and/or sense of humor? What qualities define you as a person? What do you absolutely love about yourself? Resist the temptation to criticize (this is a learned behavior and it can be unlearned).

Do the best you can

We've all had those days. You wake up with a busy day ahead of you only to discover your youngest child has the stomach flu. You madly rush around trying to make alternative childcare arrangements (your daycare won't take a sick child) because today is the day you have to make a big presentation to the sales team. Calls to work and arrangements with your partner finally result in a reasonable schedule. You are feeling stressed because you want to be with your unwell child and you cannot miss this presentation. And all this happens before 8:00 am. You are about to leave the house with your older child and she decides to lie down at the bottom of the stairs and refuses to put on her shoes. You snap back, "Can't you see that I'm having a bad morning and you are not making it any better." Not the best thing you've ever done, but best you could do under the circumstances. So, you apologize to your daughter and learn to let it go.

Your best is going to be different from situation to situation. It will change depending on how you are feeling, who is involved and where you might be. No matter what the circumstances, just do your best. That is all you can do. By doing so, you will avoid self-criticism, self-judgment and regret.

Apologize and Forgive

To err is human. Most women I know have a long list of things they haven't forgiven themselves for. These items range from "stealing my brothers baseball cards" to "raising my voice at my children." Along with this lack of forgiveness comes its partner in crime guilt. If you are beating yourself up over things that have happened in the past, I know an easy way to free yourself from this bondage. Write a list of everything you have not forgiven yourself for and I mean everything. Then go through this list and identify all the people you can contact and apologize to. Now start making some calls. Some situations may be tougher than others; and some might require more than an apology. If property has been damaged, a replacement might be in order. But most importantly, forgive yourself. No more carrying that guilt load anymore.

Our Reality and The Law Of Attraction

Law Of Attraction - Part 1
By: Michael Manjin




Our reality, or the world we create for ourselves, is really just a manifestation of our thoughts. Everything in our lives originated with a thought. Our thoughts lead to feelings which lead to actions which in turn leads to results which then manifests itself into the reality that we ultimately experience.

Here's what it looks like:

Thoughts ===> Feelings ===> Actions ===> Results ===> Reality

We need to understand that thoughts consist of two components: conscious and subscious. Conscious thought is that which we are aware of. We're conscious of it. Subconscious thought we are unaware of. Unfortunately most of our daily actions are a result of our subconscious thoughts.

As you think so you are

We are what we think. That may be difficult for you to accept since your completely unaware of it! Just think of your daily routine and all the things you do during the day. Are you fully aware of everything you do every waking moment? Many of your cravings, desires, wants and wishes come from thoughts your not even aware of having. In fact you may even find yourself wondering sometimes where a particular craving, desire, want or wish even came from. Well, it came from your subconscious!

If your not really aware of your subconscious thoughts and yet much of your reality is manifested from those thoughts how is it possible to control those thoughts so that you can control your actions and ultimately your reality?

Your conscious mind works like a filter to your subconscious. Only those thoughts that are important to you end up in your subconscious. Being the good servant that it is it doesn't question whether those thoughts are right or wrong, moral or immoral, ethical or unethical, true or false. As long as we believe it's right, moral, ethical or true then that's good enough for our subconscious since that's how we perceive our reality. The only reality that matters to us is the reality we've created from our thoughts even if the "true" reality is something entirely different. If you control your conscious thoughts then logically you WILL control your subconscious thoughts and that's how you make lasting and valid changes to your life.

Remember, your thoughts lead to feelings, which lead to actions which then lead to results and eventually manifests into reality for you. Knowing that you have to control your thoughts in order to control your actions and altering your reality is one thing. Actually being able to do it is another.

In the next lesson you will begin to understand how to begin controlling and shaping your conscious thoughts so that those thoughts will eventually manifest into your reality.

Do this short exercise before reading the next lesson. During the day be aware of everything your thinking. Don't try to filter, judge or change your thoughts. Just be a casual observer of your thoughts. If your reading this toward the end of the day or your getting ready for bed then try this exercise after waking up the next day before continuing with the next exercise.

We'll discuss what you observed about your thoughts in the next lesson and I think you'll be very surprised with your findings!

To your continued prosperity.

Explore Your Life Today

Nine Ways to Explore Your Life Purpose
By: Amber Rosenberg




Do you ever feel stuck or confused about what your next step is in your career, relationship or life? If you’re like many of us, this confusion and indecision can drain your energy and motivation. One way to gain focus and clarity is to explore your life purpose.

According to Buckminster Fuller, a well-known inventor from the twentieth century, you can learn about your life purpose by exploring the life purpose of a honeybee:

"It is possible, just possible, that the honeybee has a life purpose. What would that life purpose be? To pollinate plants, to keep life on earth going. We wouldn't exist if it wasn't for honeybees."

"But do you think the honeybee gets up each morning and says to herself that she has to pollinate plants? No. She just has - what goal? To collect nectar to make honey."

"In the case of the honeybee, it's the smaller goal of pollinating plants that has the much larger side effect and the real impact - the maintenance of life on earth."

Following this theory, I invite you to take the emphasis off of discovering your life purpose – which can be daunting and overwhelming – and, instead, simply focus on getting into action with small goals and noticing what brings you joy. It's easy.

Following are a few ideas to get you moving:

1) Research local non-profit organizations and volunteer for one whose mission really inspires you
2) Learn a new language, musical instrument or how to draw or paint
3) Go to events where you meet people with similar interests
4) Start a garden in your back yard or on a community plot
5) Explore your ancestry and travel to track down your roots
6) Teach a continuing education class on a subject in which you’re knowledgeable
7) Attend conferences and seminars on topics that interest you
8) Get involved with your child's school or team
9) Train for an athletic race or join a sports team

As you get into action, simply be aware of what you do best (your gifts, talents and skills) and explore with your coach what brings you joy, satisfaction and fulfillment. Chances are, they’re related.

If you explore that which brings you joy, the universe will respond well. This doesn’t mean that all of your feedback will be positive. On the contrary, getting flak is a sure sign that you’re really exploring your life purpose and not sitting quietly on the side-lines. It's good to stir things up a bit.

When you really commit to exploring your life purpose, eventually, you will find that you shine with an unmistakable light. Explore your light. Uncover your light. The more you truly explore that which brings you joy, the more focus and clarity you will have in your career, relationships and life.

Books Can Fill the Spiritual Well Today

by: Chris Robertson


Over the years, I have had the opportunity to speak to clergy from a variety of Christian denominations. Early on, it came as a surprise to me that members of the clergy sometimes find themselves at a loss about how to add inspiration to their sermons, how to best counsel their lay leaders, and how to best utilize the seniors in their congregations. I came to realize that a pastor is, first and foremost, a human being. As such, he inevitably experiences times when his well of wisdom and inspiration run dry. The more conversations I had with clergy members, the more I came to understand that they use a variety of tools to help fill and enhance their wells of spirituality - including reading books, attending retreats, and writing in journals.

Books are probably the single most important source of inspiration to members of the clergy. In addition to the Bible, a pastor often turns to both the writings of great theologians and books written by present day authors who discuss the human condition and the means by which we can find comfort and solace. Biblical references might give a pastor the foundation of his sermons, but books by psychologists, sociologists, and Christian authors can inspire him to enhance his sermons with material that is relevant to the lives of his congregants. The spiritual challenges faced by today's church members - whether they're just entering college or just entering retirement - may have roots in ancient times, but may be affected by the complexities inherent in our culture of globalization.

Writing is often a wonderful resource for those people - whether they're clergy members or lay leaders - who find that their spiritual wells are running low. I've spoken to people who use journals to reflect upon Scriptural verses, and who find that writing about the meaning of a certain passage puts them back in touch with their spiritual core. Others write stories of their own spiritual awakenings, and in turn inspire others to reach to God for clarity and insight. Still others use writing as a means of revealing to themselves how the hand of God works in their everyday lives. By reflecting on one's day and understanding the points at which faith influenced choices, one can understand how God provides enrichment in their lives.

Reading books and writing are but two ways to keep one's spiritual well brimming with hopefulness and good will. Yet, both are paths to leading a fulfilled life and being able to communicate with others along the way.
