			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>She Let Go</h3>
<p>She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.</p>
<p>She let go of the fear.  She let go of the judgments.  She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.  She let go of the committee of indecision within her.  She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons. Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.</p>
<p>She didn’t ask anyone for advice. She didn’t read a book on <a href="http://www.peterrussell.com/SpiritAwake/lgo.php" target="_blank">how to let go</a>.  She didn’t search the scriptures. She just let go.  She let go of all of the memories that held her back.  She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.  She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.</p>
<p>She didn’t promise to let go. She didn’t journal about it. She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer. She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper. She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope. <a title="The Art of Unconditional Acceptance – By Debbie Akamine" href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/2011/12/the-art-of-unconditional-acceptance-by-debbie-akamine/" target="_blank">She just let go</a>.</p>
<p>She didn’t analyze whether she should let go. She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter. She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment. She didn’t call the prayer line. She didn’t utter one word. She just let go.</p>
<p>No one was around when it happened. There was no applause or congratulations. No one thanked her or praised her. No one noticed a thing. Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.</p>
<p>There was no effort. There was no struggle. It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad. It was what it was, and it is just that.</p>
<p>In the space of letting go, she let it all be. A small smile came over her face. A light breeze blew through her. And the sun and the moon shone forevermore.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Note:  Some people site Ernest Holmes as the author.  We at Light Workers World do not know for sure who the original author is.</p>

<h4><strong>Letting Go of Control &#8211; By Michael Alperstein</strong></h4>
<p>Trying to control something that cannot be controlled causes a feeling of heaviness, of burdensomeness. The way out? Be of service to a Greater Good. For example, be kind not just to one person, but rather, develop awareness that kindness TO one person IS a <a title="The Magical Core of your Being – by Jafree Ozwald" href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/2011/11/the-magical-core-of-your-being-by-jafree-ozwald/" target="_blank">kindness to many people</a>. Kindness spreads naturally. When you are of service to a Greater Good, burdens you have shouldered shrink or fade away.</p>

Safire Rose" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">letting go and surrender</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Do you ask yourself or others a lot of spiritual questions?  Although of course there is a time to ask questions, it is equally true there is a time to let go of questions, especially spiritual ones.</p>
<p>Consider this:  Sometimes asking questions is a way of trying to control things.  If we are asking a lot of questions, it might be the case that we are &#8220;holding on&#8221; to our fear and worry.</p>
<p>The real answer to a <a title="CHANNELING EINSTEIN – By Candace S. Harvey" href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/2011/11/channeling-einstein-by-candace-s-harvey/" target="_blank">spiritual question</a> becomes revealed by asking, then letting go.</p>
<p>Ask. Then trust. Let go of the QUESTION itself.</p>
<p>The answer will be revealed.</p>
<p>Pause. Breathe. Step into the unknown. Allow.</p>
<p>The deepest answer won’t be intellectual. It will be a feeling or a sense of inner knowing. Or it will show up as a slowly growing light upon a Path of Opportunity in response to your asking and intention.</p>
<p>In essence, the answer IS the letting go of the question.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>   &#8220;Everything will change when your desire to move on exceeds your desire to hold on.&#8221;</em>  ~ Alan H. Cohen</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Breath:  A Doorway into Letting Go</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Breathing opens a window into surrender and letting go.  We simply direct our attention into our breath&#8230;  Breath circulates our energy and re-charges our Inner Connection.<br />
To everyone reading this:  I suggest we try this now&#8230;  There is an opportunity to join in consciousness&#8230;.<br />
Bring attention to your breathing&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>With an easy and soft focus, allow each inhalation and exhalation to reveal from Whence you came.<br />
Travel the breath back to Consciousness…..<br />
Deep, effortless breath&#8230;.<br />
Keep going&#8230;<br />
You cannot do this wrong&#8230;  the doing it is what counts&#8230;</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2r9OVMXwhg8" frameborder="0" width="420" height="315"></iframe></p>
<p>Eckhart Tolle, in his book A New Earth, speaks about how <a title="Spiritual Meditation: Guidance for Expanding Human Consciousness" href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/2011/09/spiritual-meditation-guidance-for-expanding-human-consciousness/" target="_blank">breathing can deepen Presence</a>.  He shares how it helps you feel the Inner Body and give acceptance to your current emotional state.</p>
<p><em>“Someone recently showed me the annual prospectus of a large spiritual organization. When I looked through it, I was impressed by the wide choice of interesting seminars and workshops. It reminded me of a smorgasbord, on of those Scandinavian buffets where you can take your pick from a huge variety of enticing dishes. The person asked me whether I could recommend one or two courses. “I don&#8217;t know,” I said. “They all look so interesting. But I do know this,” I added. “Be aware of your breathing as often as you are able, whenever you remember. Do that for one year, and it will be more powerfully transformative than attending all of these courses. And it&#8217;s free.”</em> ~ Eckhart Tolle</p>
<p><em>“Being aware of your breath forces you into the present moment – the key to all inner transformation.”</em> ~ Eckhart Tolle</p>
<p>Another beautiful reminder:</p>
<p><em>“Close your eyes. Think of your breaths as lives, and you the entity through which they have passed and are passing. Then you will feel your state of grace…”</em> ~ Seth/Jane Roberts</p>
<p>Open. Allow.<br />
Breathe Deep into the spiritual well in your Heart.</p>
<p>We sometimes play the game that Presence is not real.  That is a story.  Presence is always real.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t look for it. Know it&#8217;s real.</p>
<p>Breathe it. Be it. Feel it.</p>
<p>Peel the story back.</p>
<p>Then you find it, because you are it.</p>

<p>On December 31, 2011, I woke in the middle of the night with the message in this video. When I posted this message two days later on an FB group, I was invited by Pearl Lee-Ora Landsman to use it as the basis for a world-wide visualization/meditation that she had in mind &#8212; thus, I went ahead and created this video to spread the message and to promote this event.</p>
<p>Regarding the January 21st visualization/meditation, assuming you have some experience with this kind of activity, you will begin with your regular grounding preparations. If you are new to visualization/meditation, we recommend that you begin by asking Source/the Universe/God for protection, healing and guidance. Then, you might wish to read the vision statement from this video (see below) to focus and align your energy. Once you have done that, Pearl has suggested that you imagine a boardroom &#8212; a room for executives in heaven &#8212; and you invite into this boardroom experts in the particular field that you would like assistance with.</p>
<p>If at any time during your visualization/meditation, you hear the names of experts, either those who have gone before or those who are alive in the world with us today, welcome them, thank them for joining us, explain the issues that concern you, whether personal or global, and ask for advice. Of course, be prepared for a response &#8212; whether that response is visual, emotional or auditory, though, please know that having no response is perfectly okay too. Your participation is more important than getting/sensing immediate results! And remember, Source/the Universe/God has the right to veto any and everything that you may request that does not serve mankind.</p>
<p>Please note: If the time of this event doesn&#8217;t work for you, feel free to participate any time you can. We are connected beyond the confines of time and space after all!</p>
<p>Love to you all,</p>
<p>Mathew and Pearl</p>
<p>A Facebook event page has been set up by Hester Aira for this event at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/268556119875975/" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/events/268556119875975/</a></p>
<p>To join a community of like-minded, like-hearted souls, you can find Mathew, Pearl and Hester on the The Beautiful New World Facebook group page at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/thebeautifulnewworld/" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/groups/thebeautifulnewworld/</a></p>
<p>Here is the message from the video:</p>
<p>I have a vision for the future and it is beautiful. I see honesty, transparency, and correct thinking in all governments. I see an end to disproportionate military spending and an equitable reallocation of funding to humanitarian causes, education, infrastructure, job creation, health-care, and environmental preservation and clean-up. I see an end to corporate interests in government, and an end to the weaponization of space, and an end to unnecessary reliance on fossil fuels, and other non-renewable resources. I know that alternate sources of energy exist, are viable, and can be ultimately inexpensive, but that they have been repressed by misaligned interests. I also know about false-flags, and media manipulation, and Big Pharma&#8217;s quest to keep everyone sick, and Big Agriculture&#8217;s quest for world food dominance using unsafe and untested G.M.O.&#8217;s. I know about the growing financial divide between the 99% and the 1%, and I know about the N.W.O. and its schemes for population reduction. And yet, I stand in my light, without fear, and with a beautiful vision for the future because I know that I live in an <a title="Money Magnet Initiation" href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/2011/10/money-magnet-initiation/" target="_blank">abundant world</a> with plenty of resources for everyone. Whether we are 7 billion, 10 billion, or 15 billion, I know that we have the technology, the resources, and the intelligence to find <a title="Watch the Best Scenes from Peaceful Warrior Online" href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/2011/07/watch-the-best-scenes-from-peaceful-warrior-online/" target="_blank">peaceful solutions</a> to our challenges, to create a world without poverty, without starvation, without disease, without war, without suffering. I know this because I know the truth &#8212; the truth that comes from within &#8212; the same truth that is within all of us. And I am compelled by this truth to stand tall, to live in the moment, and to be all that I am, regardless of what is happening in my life or in the world around me. I have a vision for the future and it is beautiful. And it is unfolding right now, one awakened heart at a time, on schedule, in alignment with the highest good, and perfect in every way. Happy 2012 everyone!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[ How can an iPad increase creativity and put you in touch with the Infinite realm?  Let's take a look at how magic can occur with the help of technology. .]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>“I’m not a good artist.” </em> That thought has flickered through my brain for years.  Where it came from, I don’t exactly know.  I don&#8217;t really recall a teacher or parent criticizing my artistic endeavors.  Perhaps the thought was something I absorbed subliminally…. Or perhaps it was a limited self-perception I created by comparing myself to other kids at school—some of whom are now well-known artists.  Wherever that self-doubt came from though, I carried for a long time and it stopped me from enjoying many kinds of creative expression.  However, for the first time in years its power over me has loosened, I feel creative again, and it is because of the technology of an iPad.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>“Creativity is a lot like looking at the world through a kaleidoscope. You look at a set of elements, the same ones everyone else sees, but then reassemble those floating bits and pieces into an enticing new possibility.”</em> ~Rosabeth Moss Kanter</strong></p>
<h4>When Creative Spirit Meets the iPad</h4>
<div id="attachment_5526" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/be-creative.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5526" title="be creative" src="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/be-creative.jpg" alt="be creative Boost Creativity & Breakthrough Negative Programming using…an iPad? – By Michael Alperstein" width="200" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">be creative</p></div>
<p>Now, I have no idea how others view the art images on this page, but to me they are cool, they were fun to make, and I am pleased with them.  That is all that ulitimately matters.  Don’t you think?</p>
<p>Most of them were made in a few minutes, some took me an hour or so to get the way I wanted them.  I had to combine several applications and techniques to make them.</p>
<p>My experience in creating them was a sense of real freedom.  I felt the joy of making art, letting things flow, and loving the creative process.  I felt like a child finger painting  and having a blast!</p>
<p>You have to understand, I have not felt that feeling much in my life with regard to making art.   I have felt it with writing and in other areas, but not with artwork.  Now, suddenly I am feeling it much more!</p>
<p>A pen and a blank piece of paper can obviously give people this feeling too, but that only worked for me sometimes, during moments where I was present and just enjoying the creative flow.</p>
<p><iframe style="width: 120px; height: 240px;" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=1638D9&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=kidastea-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as4&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;ref=ss_til&amp;asins=B0047DVWLW" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" width="320" height="240"></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.”</em> ~ Mary Lou Cook</strong></p>
<p>Somehow, on the iPad, that sense of creative flow is easier to get into for me.  Perhaps it is the sense of touch (the touch screen on the ipad) and how naturally easy, fun and creative it is.  It’s kenetic, it’s natural, it’s like just waving a magic wand….   It really is like little kids doing finger painting…</p>
<div id="attachment_5526" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/be-creative.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5526" title="be creative" src="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/be-creative.jpg" alt="be creative Boost Creativity & Breakthrough Negative Programming using…an iPad? – By Michael Alperstein" width="200" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">be creative</p></div>
<p>Even my eight year old nephew loves doing art on the iPad.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I recently took my iPad to a party and another guy and I were playing with it, and he had the same experience.  He was blown away that he could make something so cool and that it was not difficult.  <strong>Years of negative programming, dropped in an instant.</strong></p>
<p>It is such a great feeling when an old self-judgment pops like a bubble.   You may not have realized you were trapped by it, and then suddenly you are beyond it.</p>
<p>Wow!   And this is just the beginning.</p>
<p><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=tGADxxDdKLU&amp;offerid=146261.10005769&amp;type=4&amp;subid=0"><img src="http://images.apple.com/itunesaffiliates/US/generic/GreyPAIDApp_468x60.jpg" alt="GreyPAIDApp 468x60 Boost Creativity & Breakthrough Negative Programming using…an iPad? – By Michael Alperstein" border="0" title="Boost Creativity & Breakthrough Negative Programming using…an iPad? – By Michael Alperstein" /></a><img src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=tGADxxDdKLU&amp;bids=146261.10005769&amp;type=4&amp;subid=0" alt=" Boost Creativity & Breakthrough Negative Programming using…an iPad? – By Michael Alperstein" width="1" height="1" border="0" title="Boost Creativity & Breakthrough Negative Programming using…an iPad? – By Michael Alperstein" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>“It is in awareness that we bring everything to life that lives within us. There is no time like the present to give birth to creativity.”</em> ~ Kathleen Anderson</strong></p>
<p><strong>What is Happening Spiritually Here?</strong></p>
<p>My belief is this:  <a title="The Magical Core of your Being – by Jafree Ozwald" href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/2011/11/the-magical-core-of-your-being-by-jafree-ozwald/">Our soul, our spirit</a>, our inner core is naturally creative, innately artistic, inventive AND accepting of the process.  Our true Being, in our Heart of hearts, just enjoys the creative power it feels.  It does not care what other people think and it eternally lives OUTSIDE of old negative programming.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/200.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5525" title="creative expression and ipad art" src="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/200.jpg" alt="200 Boost Creativity & Breakthrough Negative Programming using…an iPad? – By Michael Alperstein" width="200" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>When you access this core, you are in the creative flow.  To access it, you have to be in the present moment, enjoying the step you are on and allowing yourself to be a vessel of inspiration.  You are not worried about what other people think:  You are thinking less and feeling more.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s true magic, and it is occurring for more and more people with the help of this new technology.  How?  I believe it is because the touch screen is a comfortable and familiar way to use your hands, thus putting you <strong>in touch with your body and your feelings</strong>, thus making you more Present in the Moment, thus allowing you to enjoy the creative flow.  This new technology, in this case the iPad, is a &#8220;Spiritually Empowering, Creativity Enhancing&#8221; device, and it helps us tap into the Infinite realm inside us.</p>
<p><strong><em>“Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.”</em> ~Jean-Luc Godard</strong></p>
<p>The True Muse is inside of us.  Yet this new technology and our relationship with it helps us access it.</p>
<h3><em>Music in Your Soul</em></h3>
<p><strong><em>“The great therapy of music:  Music is an exterior representation of the life-giving inner sounds that act therapeutically within your body all the time….. Music activates the inner living cells of your body, stimulates the energy of the inner self, and helps to unite the conscious mind with the other portions of your being.”</em> ~ Seth/Jane Roberts</strong></p>
<p>I have also, in the past (though not quite as much as in art) had the limiting idea that <em>“I can’t play music well”</em></p>
<p>This thought too is dissolving, thanks to my iPad.</p>
<p>In minutes I can create cool beats and music-  No lessons required.</p>
<p>Here is a sample beat from something called BeatWave.  (I could not figure out how to upload my own sample beats, so I just borrowed one here…)  Listen to it at this link:</p>

<p>Though I have not tried it yet, I have heard that an iPad App called “Thumb Jam” is even more powerful, and that it takes <a title="A Blend of Excellent Youtube Relaxing Music and Top Youtube Meditation Music" href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/2011/07/a-blend-of-excellent-youtube-relaxing-music-and-top-youtube-meditation-music/">music</a> to a whole new level.  Apparently, whether you are a total beginner or a professional musician, you can create the most amazing music and sounds with it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>&#8220;GIVE IN! Give in to POSSIBILITY, relish the feeling of surrendering to your dreams. Hang your control up on the coat rack, it is useless now. When the Moment seizes you, you&#8217;ll know you need to move to the rhythm of your Creative soul, drawing you out of your numbing distrust. See you along the way..All My Love,&#8221; </em> ~ Adriana Hill</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>iPads and Creative Writing</h4>
<p>Can creative writing be enhanced on an iPad?  You bet!  I have just begun to explore this myself, but I believe it can help a lot and there is potential for more.</p>
<p>I read, for example,  that Eckhart Tolle, well known author and spiritual teacher, has started posting on facebook because of his iPad.  He is a man who wrote all his books using a pen and paper.  Before he got his iPad he had to have someone else make his posts for him on Facebook.  Now he does it himself.  (This is my understanding based on what the Admins wrote on his Facebook page)</p>
<p>The iPad seems to be a happy medium, it is somewhere in-between using pen and paper and using a laptop.  The iPad is like a hybrid.</p>
<p>Where are creative expression and experience headed with this new technology?  It will be interesting to watch what unfolds as technology continues to enhance and intertwine with our creative spirits.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;<em>Creativity comes from looking for the unexpected and stepping outside your own experience.</em></strong><strong><em>&#8220;</em> ~Masaru Ibuka</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>&#8220;Creativity can be described as letting go of certainties.&#8221;</em> ~ Gail Sheehy</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #ff0000;">How about you?  Have you tried expressing your creativity on an iPad?  What are your thoughts on the relationship between technology and creativity?  Please share any comments or experiences.  All ideas welcome.</span></h3>

<p><em><em>&#8220;A good orgasm is satisfying, but a great orgasm can be a revelation of your deepest being, unfolding the truth of who you are in ecstatic communion with your lover.&#8221;</em> </em>~David Deida</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;You can prolong orgasm through effortless Breathing.  Breath is the simplest and surest key to tantra there is.  It is responsible for energy movement and flow and heart openings.  Keep it circular and relaxed.  In the nose out the mouth.&#8221; </em> ~Jim Barnes</p>
<p><em>&#8220;It is not so much about taking deep breaths&#8230; though that can help.  It is more about taking conscious breaths, being Present and Centered as you breathe.  Let your breaths be effortless&#8230;.&#8221;</em> ~Jim Barnes</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Can&#8217;t take a deep breath?  See if you can bring depth to even a shallow breath&#8230;.&#8221;</em>  ~Michael Alperstein</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Breath is life.  Connect to life through the breath.  How?  By gaining a greater sense of self though touch, sex and pleasure. Self awareness is the ultimate goal of sexuality, knowing your God-like Divine Self.  Merge with your entire Being&#8230; your Universal You&#8230;&#8221;</em> ~Unknown</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Be totally okay with not having an orgasm, and then see what changes.  You&#8217;ll be amazed.  Purposely not having an orgasm is an incredible opportunity to find ecstasy in the present moment. &#8220;</em>  ~Todd Stone</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Realize orgasm is not an all or nothing thing..  You can have mini ones.   You can take baby steps&#8230;  a small wave&#8230; or a ripple of energy&#8230;.  these are bridge builders&#8230;&#8221;</em>  ~Ben Tarlow</p>

<h3>Prayer and Tantra</h3>
<p><em>&#8220;Tantra says that before you make love to a woman or to a man, first pray &#8212; because it is going to be a divine meeting of energies. God will surround you. Wherever two lovers are, there is God. Wherever two lovers&#8217; energies are meeting and mingling, there is life, alive, at its best; God surrounds you. Churches are empty; love-chambers are full of God. If you have tasted love the way Tantra says to taste it, if you have known love the way Tao says to know it, then by the time you reach forty-two, love starts disappearing on its own accord. And you say goodbye to it with deep gratitude, because you are fulfilled. It has been delightful, it has been a blessing; you say good-bye to it.&#8221; </em> ~Osho</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Its time we saw sex as the truly sacred art that it is. A deep <a title="Learn Ramana Maharshi’s Meditation Technique for Enlightenment – By Kip Mazuy" href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/2011/11/learn-ramana-maharshis-meditation-technique-for-enlightenment-by-kip-mazuy/" target="_blank">meditation</a>, a holy communion and a dance with the force of creation.&#8221; </em> ~ Marcus Allen</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Trust, love, what we call sexy, who we trust in a business situation, are all based on how open we are. Openness is bodily openness, muscular relaxation, heart openness as opposed to hiding behind some emotional wall, and spiritual openness, which is actually feeling so fully into the moment that there&#8217;s no separation between you and the entire moment.&#8221;</em> ~David Deida</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3> More quotes about Sacred Sex</h3>
<p><em>&#8220;It is the movement between the negative and positive poles that creates electricity. It is the attraction between the male and the female that creates new life. The dynamics of <a title="The Secrets of the Universe &amp; Universal Law" href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/2011/11/the-secrets-of-the-universe-universal-law/" target="_blank">the universe</a> are dialectical, apparently in a conflict, but occurring within a larger context of unity and wholeness. This is the understanding of the Tantra vision.&#8221;</em>  ~Margot Anand</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;All women possess a right to be erotic for themselves. Our erotic energy is our core growth energy. Acknowledging it as the core energy within ourselves leads us into sexual and <a title="Top Ten Powerful Law of Attraction Tips:  Simple Secrets to Attract What You Want – By Michael Alperstein" href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/2011/05/top-ten-powerful-law-of-attraction-tips-simple-secrets-to-attract-what-you-want-by-michael-alperstein/" target="_blank">personal empowerment</a>.&#8221; </em> ~Rev. Goddess Charmaine</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Every desire of your body is holy;</em><br />
<em>Every desire of your body is</em><br />
<em>Holy.</em><br />
–Hafiz</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;The feeling of being alive and at One with everything is available through the path of Tantra.  When your heart is open and you are making love, there is no separation between you, your partner and God.  This is healing sex.  This is connecting with the Divine.  And the important thing to develop is the sense that this sacred experience is available in all instants.  It is not limited to sex. &#8220;</em>  ~Philip Smith</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;There is no big mystery to Tantra.  It is in the allowance and grace of the breath.  Breathe easy and naturally and you will open the door to a sacred intent.  With this sacred intent, love making becomes spiritual and holy.  You open the gateway to total joy and you embrace the divine, erotic impulse.  So breathe&#8230; and relax.  This is tantra.&#8221;</em> ~ Janet Robertson</p>

<h3>The Power of Acceptance</h3>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333399;"><em>&#8220;I realized that every thought I had was about &#8220;making it go away.&#8221; That&#8217;s a conflict, a huge inner conflict. I decided to look at that a bit more closely. What would be the opposite? It has to be acceptance. I thought to myself &#8220;what would be like if I really accepted this?&#8221; It was a turning point in my healing, when I realized that my &#8220;problem&#8221; had taken me down on a journey I would never have planned. It taught me things I&#8217;ve never intended to learn. I had changed my career, I changed my whole outlook, I&#8217;ve learned lots of things about myself and others, I had insights I never had before, I&#8217;ve met amazing people… wonderful people all over the world, and I realized that I liked myself a lot better. So, ok… I can see this &#8220;problem&#8221; wasn’t totally bad. What if it had a purpose, a reason for being here? Because obviously it had done a good job so far, and if it is still here, maybe there is still a purpose. What if I gave it permission to stay?&#8221;</em></span></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Those were the words of <a href="http://www.arielle-essex.co.uk/" target="_blank">Arielle Essex</a>, who was featured in the film “The Living Matrix”, and the “problem” she was referring to was a brain tumor that caused infertility. What was interesting about her story was the fact that all Arielle ever wanted (or so she thought) was to be in a loving relationship and have children. Since this seemed to be more than just a coincidence, Arielle started to study and research what might have caused her illness. After applying some NLP techniques she came to the conclusion that an unconscious part of her didn’t want to have a relationship or even children. In fact, as she shared her story she noted how “her body had created a tumor perfectly designed to follow the unconscious purpose”.</p>
<div id="attachment_5496" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/self-acceptance-and-surrender.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5496" title="positive energy and acceptance" src="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/self-acceptance-and-surrender.jpg" alt="self acceptance and surrender The Art of Unconditional Acceptance   By Debbie Akamine" width="200" height="267" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">positive energy and acceptance</p></div>
<p>I was so fascinated by the way she described her experience that I had to share her thoughts with all of you – and it definitely made me think about a few things in my life as well.</p>
<p>Although she was talking about a disease, her thoughts could be applied to ANYTHING in life that we see as a “problem”.   Her story also reminds us how it is not just about doing things right and trying to “get rid of something”, but how acceptance is key to our healing process.</p>
<p>From my personal experience, I&#8217;ve been coming to terms with how important it is to accept things as they are, to see some events as new beginnings.</p>
<p>Acceptance creates a window for something to change.  Suppose, for example, you are annoyed with a co-worker for not doing their work fast enough.  You could internally judge this person and/or express your disapproval of their speed&#8230;    But does this feel good?  Does it really help?</p>
<p>There is a way to express what you want AND stay in acceptance.  Acceptance is inner; expression is outer.  You can say whatever need to say to this person (using our example) and you can say it powerfully and with acceptance.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/positive-energy-and-acceptance.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-5497" title="positive energy and acceptance and love" src="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/positive-energy-and-acceptance.jpg" alt="positive energy and acceptance The Art of Unconditional Acceptance   By Debbie Akamine" width="200" height="150" /></a>With unconditional acceptance, it does not mean you are stuck.  It does not mean the situation will not change!   It just means your power to create change and enjoyment of the journey starts with acceptance.</p>
<p>Your co-worker is slow.  This is neither good nor bad.  It is what it is.  It is slow.  Period.</p>
<p>I am happy to say that I&#8217;ve been able to see things in a different light in my own life.  One so-called &#8220;problem&#8221; I totally transformed through acceptance was that I went through a time when I felt completely lost in my own life, especially career-wise.  Right after I graduated from college I never worked in a job for more than a year. I was always job hopping: from working in the financial market to working as an international tax consultant and never felt I was in the right place.<br />
The day came where I did not have the energy to fight and judge this pattern anymore.  I realized, without a doubt, that judgment was not helping.  This realization unhooked me from it, and through a positive outlook of life I have been able to turn that “negative situation” around.  I am in a good place, happy with my life and excited about the future!   So Unconditional Acceptance definitely works!</p>
<p>Begin with acceptance of what is AND THEN take action from there.  Whatever the situation is, you can set some clear ground rules or make a consequence, do what you need to do without judging, and see how powerful it is.</p>
<p>Also, just as with Arielle Essex up above, my so-called “problem” led me to a place of <a title="How to Open to Love with Marlise Karlin &amp; Get Into the Stillness" href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/2011/09/how-to-open-to-love-with-marlise-karlin-get-into-the-stillness/">unconditional love</a>, peace, spirituality, faith, meeting amazing people, positivism, applying the law of attraction in my life, etc. So yes, I can say that I feel grateful that a “problem” came into my life because I eventually understood its purpose and the shift that it created in me.</p>
<p>Looking back, I remember being in that place of depression, negativity, complaining all the time, feeling stressed out, burned out and lost. I spent more than 10 months feeling that way. Now, I finally understand that being in that state (truth be told, I used to be very negative and complain most of the time) was actually a blessing! It was amazing and it took me on a journey that I never imagined I would embark on.</p>
<p>This experience also showed me that many times we forget that “problems” will always bring something positive into our lives, something we never expected. Thanks to that experience, I see that every time something I want doesn’t happen the way I plan, I go back to that experience and remind myself that it might be a blessing and that something better will come along, specially because this simply means that the Universe has bigger plans for me.</p>
<p>Of course, it is not always so easy to adopt this mindset or to feel this way. Sometimes we feel disappointed, frustrated, etc. – because we are only human after all. But in the end, if I manage to control my “negative thoughts and feelings” things will shift. So yes, ACCEPTANCE! That is the wonderful lesson to learn.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s  holiday time again. We should be happy, right?  Such expectations themselves are often a source of great stress from Thanksgiving through the New Year.  The reason is that the holidays touch the &#8220;inner child&#8221; within each of us. We light lights, give gifts and eat rich foods as a way to recapture the magic and warmth of a child&#8217;s open heart.  Unfortunately, holidays also touch the unmet longings  and painful disappointments which, in varying degrees, are part of everyone&#8217;s childhood.</p>

<p>deepest needs for love and connection will go unmet.</p>
<p>Just being aware that our anxiety is coming from this childlike state of mind is often enough to help us relax.  More often, though, we get embarrassed &#8211; and judgmental, toward such &#8220;childish&#8221; feelings and attempt to suppress them. While <a title="Jim Carrey and The Power of Intention:  Realizing Your Inner Power in a Manifestation Meditation" href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/2011/03/jim-carrey-and-the-power-of-intention-realizing-your-inner-power-in-a-manifestation-meditation/">the intention</a> of such self criticism may be to get a handle on one’s  upsetting feelings, the truth is that it only makes things worse. Instead of handling these feelings, we become ashamed of ourselves and it makes us unhappy at a time we want most to be joyful.</p>
<p>A much more effective strategy is to step apart  from such feelings and to empathize with them. That&#8217;s right, if we unblend  from the emotion-not always easy to do in the moment, we can become better &#8220;self parents&#8221; toward the child part of us.  Specifically, we can:</p>
<p>-Be nice to ourselves during the holidays.  By doing something for us- rather than waiting for others to do so, we can feel happier and less easily disappointed.  Why not buy your <em>Self</em> a gift while buying other gifts, for example.</p>
<p>-Be aware of our longings before going shopping so we don&#8217;t overspend trying to create an idealized version of what Hanukkah or Christmas should be.    A few minutes of calm introspection can set a positive tone for a long time.  Ask yourself:  What am really wanting?  What will make me most comfortable and relaxed?</p>
<p>-Prepare for visits to family by talking to friends or one&#8217;s partner about anticipated difficulties. This will strengthen one&#8217;s adult self to better cope with any negative experience while keeping one open to positive surprises.</p>
<p>-Be patient with others during the holidays. Remember that they have an anxious child within them as well.</p>

<h2>Here Are Some more tips to Beat Holiday Stress</h2>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/89Nq10RiRTo" frameborder="0" width="420" height="315"></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>What are you grateful for this Holiday Season?</h4>
<p>During the Holidays, it helps enormously to cultivate an attitude of gratitude.  Focus on the things you TRULY do enjoy and watch your stress levels go down.  For example, instead of putting all your attention on the relatives who make you stressful, purposely focus on, spend more time with, and acknowledge the relatives who &#8220;get you.&#8221;</p>
<p>You can practice this on little things.  Learn to give appreciation to the little things.  How do you do this?  By letting yourself see that the little things are important.  Only a point of view makes them seems little or insignificant, so if you change your point of view, a focus on the little positive things will help you feel less stress.</p>
<p>Another way to de-stress is to take breaks from uncomfortable situations and give your self more &#8220;space&#8221; in your mind.  At a party or a dinner table, for example, be sure to take breaks.  Go outside, go on the deck, take a walk with one or two people, or even take some extra time in the restroom if you need to get away.  Take space from busy and stressful thoughts.  How?  By realizing that when one door closes, endless doors are STILL open. When one thought limits you, endless thoughts are still available. The more you feel a sense of the Infinite inside, the more power you have and the less stress you will feel.</p>
<p>How else can you feel less stress? Use your eyes differently.  Do mini meditations, even when you are in a group.  Look out a window or up at the sky or at the ocean and visualize becoming ONE with them.   Take a few deep breaths&#8230;  No one has to know what you are doing!   A 30 second &#8220;meditation&#8221; can help if you look with clarity and intention.  Look and practice this with child-like wonder. A few minutes of this can stop worry and stress in their tracks.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[What is channeling?  What is it to be a spiritual medium? Expand your perspective with this wonderful exploration of psychic channeling.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>We are all Channels. Most Humans are not aware of it but we are. When we come up with a brilliant idea, a once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece or a stroke of genius, we tend to think of “Divine Inspiration”, “the Muses” or a bolt from the blue.<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Some of us channel Archangels, some of us channel Leonardo, Tchaikovsky and some of us channel Einstein. Some of us channel Spirit Guides while some channel the dearly departed from the other side and some channel energy. But the fact remains that we <em>all</em> do channel.</p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;"><em>&#8220;The only real valuable thing is intuition.&#8221;</em> ~Albert Einstein</span></p>
<p>Once we are aware and comfortable with being a channel, we learn how to shift our frequencies or vibes so we can reach any of the other dimensions at will – we can go from being a telepath, empath, healer, etc., to playing the games of fractal geometry in multi-dimensional physics at any or all levels. Things we know and take for granted as light-workers, the scientists haven’t figured out how to measure yet.</p>
<p>As an Astrologer, I get asked to prove it works by many skeptics but ask a scientist or mathematician a simple question like “Where does the gravity of our Solar System end?” or “How fast and far does Love travel?” and they find the stock answer isn’t right but at least it does get them to thinking – they still reject it, but it does start them on the right path.</p>
<div id="attachment_5451" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/spiritual-medium.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5451" title="spiritual medium" src="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/spiritual-medium.jpg" alt="spiritual medium CHANNELING EINSTEIN   By Candace S. Harvey" width="225" height="281" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">spiritual medium</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #333399;"><em>&#8220;Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.&#8221;</em> ~Albert Einstein</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Too bad they don’t understand the simple concept of “All is One and One is All”. I get such strange looks when they ask “Which religion or belief system is right?” and I tell them they all are. Unfortunately, it’ll take a long time for them to come up with the idea that if you roll all of the beliefs, etc. into One Whole, it is all there for them to see.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;"><em>&#8220;The system that does not support the evolution and awakening of consciousness is breaking down. You have to KNOW that fulfillment of your destiny path is not dependent on that system. A new system is in motion, giving more inroads to fulfilling one&#8217;s highest destiny path. Co-creating out of consciousness brings love, prosperity, peace, and joy. When you KNOW this, you prosper.&#8221;</em> ~Channeled through Asandra, theguidedpath.net</span></p>
<p>And physicists are correct, even though limited, when they finally figured out that the observer creates a reaction on a small particle of energy just by the simple act of observing it. Then why can’t they figure out the larger picture that every thought, every emotion has an effect on everything else in the Universe?</p>
<div id="attachment_5452" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/spiritual-channeling.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5452" title="spiritual channeling" src="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/spiritual-channeling.jpg" alt="spiritual channeling CHANNELING EINSTEIN   By Candace S. Harvey" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">spiritual channeling</p></div>
<p>Einstein wanted to come up with a simple mathematical equation for his Grand Unified Field Theory and worked on it for many years without success. He’s still working on it and it keeps getting simpler and simpler. It’s out there and some day a channel will pick it up and bring it down to earth but no one will believe it’s as simple as it is.</p>
<p>The Beauty and Perfection of the Universe Is &#8211; Always has been and Always will be. The Balance of the Universe will always be.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;"><em>&#8220;Don&#8217;t look to the outer circumstances of your life to become more positive.  See past the illusion.  See through the dark into the light in your heart.  Positivity starts and ends within, always.  It&#8217;s a matter of seeing the world as a reflection.  You are the tuning fork and the world is the sound.  Not the other way around.  Your vibration creates the world around you.&#8221;</em>  ~Channeled by Michael Alperstein</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;"><em>&#8220;True creativity is channeling.  You are the vessel through which inspiration comes and is born into this world.  Often the best ideas and inventions are given to us from a Higher Power beyond us.&#8221;</em>  ~Anonymous</span></p>
<p>Just as there is a Collective Consciousness, there is a Collective Unconsciousness. All is Maya (Maya means illusion or dream) because we created it, labeled it, defined it and studied it.  We don’t really want to understand the Universe – we just want to understand ourselves.  What we see are only our own projections on the Universe, we ourselves created.  The outer world is a projection of the interior world and the level of consciousness we experience.</p>
<p>The roles we play are little like channeling also.  We &#8220;become&#8221; a part in the play sometimes.  There will always be Tree-Huggers, Greenies, Capitalists, Economists, Politicians, etc., etc., etc. Some of us live a different set of values than the rest of humanity. This is what we are and this is what we do. And we all do change the World every minute we exist.</p>
<p>********</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There are a variety of views on channeling.  Here is one video that helps illuminate the subject further:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Edgar Cayce, also known as the Sleeping Prophet, correctly predicted the stock market crash and Great Depression of 1929, the beginning of World War II, and many Earth Changes of modern times. Here is a list of the most startling and memorable Edgar Cayce predictions:</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1. The greater portion of Europe will be changed in the twinkling of an eye. Japan will eventually go into the sea. Land will appear off the east coast of America.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/K6Wqu10ileI" frameborder="0" width="420" height="315"></iframe></p>
<p>2. There will be a shifting of the poles so that where there was once a cold climate will become warmer and the semitropical will become the more tropical. Moss and ferns and new foliage will grow in places that seem strange to us now. As Cayce said: &#8220;The Earth is catching up with Time.&#8221;</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/7977crAs8ls" frameborder="0" width="420" height="315"></iframe></p>
<p>3. There will come a time when the sun will be darkened. This will signify a spiritually-awakening event.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fGmdnPcEQxU" frameborder="0" width="420" height="315"></iframe></p>
<p>4. The city of Atlantis will be found near Bimini. It will be discovered that there are healing powers in the waters off Bimini and quartz crystals will be recognized for their <a title="Top 5 Vegetarian Foods to Protect Yourself from Radiation Exposure:  Tips to Prevent the Effects of Radiation Poisoning" href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/2011/04/top-5-vegetarian-foods-to-protect-yourself-from-radiation-exposure-tips-to-prevent-the-effects-of-radiation-poisoning/">healing</a> properties to uplift, empower, and synchronize many types of energy, such as light and electricity.</p>
<p>5. The records of Atlantis will be open to those that are the spiritual initiates in the knowledge of the One God. A secret chamber will be found and the rising of the Temple will make the records accessible.</p>
<p>When asked, &#8220;Can you give in detail what the sealed room contains?&#8221; referring to the Atlantean Library, Cayce responded that it has a record of Atlantis from the beginning of those periods when the <a title="Spiritual Meditation: Guidance for Expanding Human Consciousness" href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/2011/09/spiritual-meditation-guidance-for-expanding-human-consciousness/">Spirit</a> took form. The records describe the first destruction and the changes that took place in the land. It is a journal of sorts, a record of the sojourns of the peoples and their varied activities in other lands and a record of the meetings of all the nations and lands. it explains the building of the pyramid of initiation, together with whom, what, and where the opening of the records would come, that are as copies from the sunken Atlantis. Cayce also predicted Atlantis must rise again.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/y58BUvuzarM" frameborder="0" width="420" height="315"></iframe></p>
<p>6. A new field of science will be developed based on a <a title="Tuning in Movie:  One of the Best Spiritual Movies on Psychic Mediums Available" href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/2011/07/tuning-in-movie-one-of-the-best-spiritual-movies-on-psychic-mediums-available/">psychic/spiritual</a> phenomenon. A shift in focus and study will occur. The world will give more weight to spiritual phenomena and less weight to the materialized or material phenomena. This new field of spiritual-science will become just as practical and as measurable as any other phase of human experience.</p>
<p>7. A &#8220;City of Gold&#8221; will be discovered in the Gobi Desert. It will have a temple with elevators; electric cars, and magical elements.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/j79P89m8y5U" frameborder="0" width="420" height="315"></iframe></p>
<p>8. New York State&#8217;s east coast and New York City itself will disappear.</p>
<p>9. America&#8217;s west coast will be destroyed and there will be widespread destruction in Los Angeles and San Francisco, as well as in many portions of the west coast. Land will appear off the coast of America. The Great Lakes will drain into the Gulf of Mexico through the Mississippi River. Earth changes will occur in the central portion of the United States as well. There will be some safe places in the US. They are; Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, the central and some eastern states, to name a few.</p>
<p>10. Cayce envisioned that a time would come when all individuals would realize their responsibility toward one another, this will be a realization that will change the mass-thought of humanity. Cayce predicted there will be three profound archeological discoveries of a very ancient and important nature that will revolutionize the way we understand human origins. Cayce stated that this will occur when humanity reaches a higher level of spirituality. He predicted a new era of peace and enlightenment will follow the tremendous Earth changes. Cayce foresaw a new era of enlightenment and peace for humanity in the future and a unified field of energy that would someday shift the consciousness field of humanity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Self inquiry is one of the most powerful and effective meditation techniques used by thousands of people all over the world. Taught by the enlightened Guru, Ramana Maharshi, this meditation technique alone has helped many people experience profound states of meditation, samadhi and even self realization.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Kg1jYrplJho" frameborder="0" width="420" height="315"></iframe></p>
<p>At the most mundane level, self inquiry is asking &#8220;Who am I?&#8221; In asking this question, your attention reverses back onto itself, the mind becomes still and for however long it lasts, you experience nothing but pure consciousness, pure attention itself. Dualistic subject/object perception is gone and there is only the experience of one infinite consciousness.</p>
<p>The amazing thing about this meditation technique is that it uses the mind to stop the mind. &#8220;Who am I&#8221; is not an intellectual question, instead it is a question to cut right through the intellectual mind. Because if you really look to find the answer, you will find that your name, body and occupation is not what you are.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/weXKuURMgMs" frameborder="0" width="560" height="315"></iframe></p>
<p>Certainly intellectually, these things would be your answer. But if you really inquire into the nature of what you are in this moment, you move past all mental definitions and come to something which cannot be put into words, something that actually silences the words.</p>
<p>So in practicing the self inquiry technique, in asking &#8220;Who am I,&#8221; your attention moves inward instead of outward, past intellectual knowledge to that which cannot be described or defined. You begin to experience what is here beyond your thinking, beyond all ideas and definitions of what you know intellectually. This experience of pure consciousness, pure attention is often referred to as the Self, Atman, the feeling of &#8216;I am,&#8217; stillness, silence, the void and the absence of me.</p>
<p>All of these words may point in the direction of what is here, but it is necessary to note that the words themselves are not the answer. The answer is the silence, the mystery that is there every time you ask the question. You use the self inquiry meditation technique to take you to the essence of what is here beyond thought and in that you learn to remain in that essence, to rest in pure consciousness.</p>
<p>When you begin practicing the self inquiry meditation technique, you may ask &#8220;who am I?&#8221; and the experience of pure consciousness may only last a moment before you are again caught up in thinking. So then you repeat the question to again take you out of thinking and into your natural state of pure consciousness. At first, it may be that you ask &#8220;who am I&#8221; with every inhale and then on the exhale you experience what is here beyond thinking.</p>
<p>But as you improve, you can remain in your natural state of pure consciousness for longer and longer periods of time. At first, the experience of pure being may last 2 seconds, then 5 seconds, even 30 seconds before you are again get caught up in thinking.</p>
<p>But with practice, you come to a point where the question is no longer needed; you come to a point where the feeling of pure consciousness becomes dominant enough that your attention can remain in that without actually needing to use the question any longer.</p>
<p>It is here the meditation technique no longer becomes an inquiry, but rather you simply relax into pure being, you surrender in pure consciousness. You begin to be able to directly experience this moment beyond mental perception, without having to use your mind. You begin to experience that you are not your thoughts, but the consciousness behind the thinking, the consciousness from where the thoughts arise and disappear on their own.</p>
<p>It is important to note that a large part of Ramana Maharshi&#8217;s teaching has been overlooked, and that is the Guru himself. Ramana Maharshi radiated Shaktipat, the energy of enlightenment. Just by sitting in Ramana Maharshi&#8217;s presence, people would effortlessly experience deep states of bliss and self realization, without having to practice any meditation technique.</p>
<p>You can receive this same Shaktipat by listening to a very unique meditation CD. Simply by listening to meditation music, this Shaktipat is awakened in you and you effortlessly attain deep states of meditation and bliss.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Other Side of Death &#8211; By Sarah Elizabeth Shebanek</strong><br />
I went to a funeral today.<br />
It was for someone I no longer recognized,<br />
though she carried both my name and face&#8230;</p>
<p>I have been waking up.<br />
So that my feet hang over the bed now.<br />
Convoluted dreams of what my life could have been,<br />
Had I not let myself out of this prison&#8230;</p>
<p>A funeral. It has been awhile&#8230;<br />
Had I even been to one?</p>
<p>I was accustomed to attending births while feeling dead inside.<br />
This was territory not unlike my bed: Suddenly my feet were too big.<br />
And all I could do was celebrate the value of the time the living had graced upon us.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/personal-growth-and-spiritual-nature.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4859" title="personal growth and spiritual nature" src="http://www.lightworkersworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/personal-growth-and-spiritual-nature.jpg" alt="personal growth and spiritual nature The Other Side of Death   A Poem By Sarah Elizabeth Shebanek " width="200" height="266" /></a>I felt only joy whilst others responded appropriately with expressive sorrow and regret.<br />
What is the worth of the loss of depression?<br />
Is there any?<br />
If there is it must surely be about control.<br />
And control is not nor can it ever be joy.</p>
<p>Was I the pariah for seeing everything through a different lens no one else possessed the camera for yet?</p>
<p>I wondered if I would become unpopular and laughed quickly at my worldly fears.<br />
The days will always come and go with both successes and failures.<br />
One thing I can swear to is that there is not a single thing in this physical life, that is not an opportunity.</p>
<p>Be happy, they have advised.<br />
But not TOO happy.<br />
Function but stay in line.<br />
Make us comfortable.<br />
Lucky stars I never had any interest in becoming a rebel in this incarnation.</p>
<p>But comfortable?<br />
I cannot commit to that.<br />
That is what my furniture is for.<br />
And so an unintentional independent rebel I remain.</p>
<p>I brought carnations to the service.<br />
I suppose there may have been whispers of my lack of appropriateness but the flowers had been dyed the perfect combination of salmon, apple green, and lemon.</p>
<p>Color, the ultimate transition and transmutation felt significant.<br />
And the life that was to be carried on deserved a different flower.</p>
<p>So this is my other side of death.<br />
Feet too long for my bed.<br />
Colors I want to create.<br />
Radical independence.</p>
<p>The dead have the light to find.<br />
But we living have this life to live.</p>
<p>Take a step forward towards joy.<br />
Without control, hesitation, or condition.</p>
<p>The dead have their light.<br />
We have this life.<br />
LIve it. Love it.<br />
Be in Bliss&#8230;</p>
<p>Give good graces and say a solid goodbye to the dead.</p>
<p>Living needs you now&#8230;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Peace my heart&#8230;</h2>
<p>Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.<br />
Let it not be a death but completeness.<br />
Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.<br />
Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.<br />
Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.<br />
Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.<br />
I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you on your way.</p>
<p>~Rabindranath Tagore</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>When I die&#8230;</h2>
<p>When I die<br />
when my coffin<br />
is being taken out<br />
you must never think<br />
i am missing this world</p>
<p>don&#8217;t shed any tears<br />
don&#8217;t lament or<br />
feel sorry<br />
i&#8217;m not falling<br />
into a monster&#8217;s abyss</p>
<p>when you see<br />
my corpse is being carried<br />
don&#8217;t cry for my leaving<br />
i&#8217;m not leaving<br />
i&#8217;m arriving at eternal love</p>
<p>when you leave me<br />
in the grave<br />
don&#8217;t say goodbye<br />
remember a grave is<br />
only a curtain<br />
for the paradise behind</p>
<p>you&#8217;ll only see me<br />
descending into a grave<br />
now watch me rise<br />
how can there be an end<br />
when the sun sets or<br />
the moon goes down</p>
<p>it looks like the end<br />
it seems like a sunset<br />
but in reality it is a dawn<br />
when the grave locks you up<br />
that is when your soul is freed</p>
<p>have you ever seen<br />
a seed fallen to earth<br />
not rise with a new life<br />
why should you doubt the rise<br />
of a seed named human</p>
<p>have you ever seen<br />
a bucket lowered into a well<br />
coming back empty<br />
why lament for a soul<br />
when it can come back<br />
like Joseph from the well</p>
<p>when for the last time<br />
you close your mouth<br />
your words and soul<br />
will belong to the world of<br />
no place no time</p>
