You know how anxiety can take over your life. You feel inadequate, pessimistic and just plain sad. There are ways that can help you to stop worrying. But for some reason, despite trying the tips you see all over, you find yourself still being anxious about the things that are happening to you. You are hesitant to try the various drugs that are available in the market for anxiety. Because there are reports that the relief they give are only temporary . Also, there are instances wherein you can suffer from the side effects of those drugs, which could include dizziness, and fatigue. Of course, there is also the risk of becoming dependent on the drug as you continue using it. …

Understanding Letting Go and Going With the Flow
Wisdom Road Can Get a Little BumpyTwo of the ideas that seem to cause a whole lot of confusion are “letting go” and “going with the flow.” The confusion lends itself to views that on the spiritual path we become mindless jellyfish that get tossed about in whatever direction the sea is going. People seem to think that having a will or sense of direction is somehow imposing that will on others or on life. But that is not the case.In the interests of clearing up some misconceptions about this aspect of the spiritual path, let’s talk about what letting go and going with the flow really are.Going With the Flow and God’s WillIn many respects, going with the flow …

Integrating Your Spiritual Awakening Through a Spiritual Sexual Practice
I’m sure that some of you of you are like, “Yeah! Let’s talk more sex.” But once again, I’m speaking primarily in your own, solo practice. Partnerships bring a lot of additional baggage and issues into the space as much as they bring a lot of beautiful opportunities for deep intimacy. Especially when someone is in awakening and is actively integrating it, it’s like being cut open on an operating table. A lot of care would have to be taken by a partner to not bring his/her issues into a very sacred and open space. With that said, it can be done, and you can share a lot of amazing experiences during this sacred time.But for most people, you may already feel a little …

Learn how to say NO and impress yourself
It happens very often to a lot of people. We are thinking about it, it is at the tip of our tongue, we know is justified, but we cannot say it! What I am talking about? That little word with just 2 letters but with so much meaning. You cannot say “NO” to your manager that asks you to do something that is not under your responsibilities, you cannot say NO to your child when they ask for something expensive, you cannot say NO for things you do not want to do…and the list can go on forever. Despite our disagreement and for the reasons we explain below, we cannot deny or set a limit to what we can and we …

One Year of Veganism: The Why? How? and WTF?
Almost one year ago, I decided to turn vegan. I was already vegetarian for six months. I had already posted an article on why I became vegetarian. But after much reading and experimenting, I figured that it wasn’t enough. P.S: This post is not about trying to convert you to veganism, but rather sharing my experience and shedding the light on some obscure misconceptions. Why? 1. Health Benefits After witnessing the huge health benefits of turning vegetarian, I was curious about what veganism has to offer. Also, the health benefits of vegetarianism mainly come from lowering animal-based protein and animal hormones. While veganism completely cut these out, thus providing much more benefits. Some dangers of animal protein (scientific facts)…

How We Handle Anger
An old Japanese tale goes, a belligerent samurai once challenged a Zen master to explain the concept of heaven and hell. But the monk replied with scorn, “you’re nothing but a lout…I can’t waste my time with the likes of you!” His very honor attacked, the samurai flew into a rage and pulling his sword from it’s scabbard, yelled, “I could kill you for your impertinence!” That, the monk calmly replied, is hell. Startled at seeing the truth in what the master pointed out about the fury that had him in it’s grip, the samurai calmed down, sheathed his sword, and bowed, thanking the monk for his insight. And that, said the monk…is heaven. Anger is a trap. When we allow ourselves to…

Mustering the Courage to Face Our Dark Side.
Carl Jung, the famous Swiss Psychiatrist, named our dark side ‘the shadow.’ He taught that when we do not recognize our shadow side, or are unwilling to look at it, it tends to become demonic. We need to realize that our fears are apart of that shadow side. And when we do not bring those fears to light, they do tend to take us over in ways that seem crazy or demonic. Fear is expressed in a thousand ways. Fear is closely related to apprehension, uneasiness, anxiety and out and out panic. Fear is behind rigidity, intolerance and fanaticism. Fear is at the root of indecisiveness and hesitancy to take action. Fear is behind much of our disorganization, disorderliness or sloppiness, or their…

The 9 Types of Intelligence: How to Become Smarter at Any Age
Before looking for ways to become smarter, we should probably take a moment and reflect on what “being smart” actually mean to us? We frequently use phrases as “book smart”, “life smart”, and “street smart”. Then there is “social intelligence”, “emotional intelligence”, and “IQ”. These are very different types of intelligence and it is up to YOU to decide which one you would prefer to have or develop. Because, let’s face it, you can be a computer genius but have zero people skills. Or you can drop out of college in your first year and then open a successful business and make twice the money than your friends with university degrees. Or maybe you may not think of yourself as a “highly…

7 Amazing Kids To Be Inspired By
Kids are AMAZING. They really are. They make us smile. They remind us that the world is a continuous wonder. They show us how to be authentic.

Reading Efficiently – Tips and Tricks
This is a guest post by Cassandra Wrage. Cassandra writes for endymio.com- an innovative free speed reading platform. Endymio is set for beta release in early 2013, and is currently seeking donations to fund the program. Unlike other speed reading programs, endymio.com is individualized to each person’s unique needs and learning styles – all for free. It is common knowledge that reading takes time – a lot of time. Because of this, many people attempt to read at a quicker pace. When done properly, speed reading can greatly benefit an individual’s life, but when someone simply tries to absorb as much information in as little time possible, they won’t get very far because they won’t remember what they read.

It’s who you are not the things you have that matter
What is your most prized possession? Your car, maybe? A grand piano? A family heirloom? How would it be if you lost it? Unthinkable? Or no problem? I know it’s old hat to talk about the consumer society, but I think we sometimes lose sight of the fact that if we’re not careful it is we who are consumed. We arm ourselves with burglar alarms and insurances ’til they’re coming out of our ears so that we might have some sense of safety – lest someone or some “act of God” wrests from us that with which we have identified ourselves. For a moment, close your eyes and imagine your most precious possession gone. Just not there any more. Let yourself feel …

How Visualization Actually Works
Ever since the release of “The Secret”, there has been a lot of hype around the topic of visualization. Speci cally, many people have gained an awareness about the power of visualization and how it can positively or negatively impact the results you experience in your life. This is not a new concept by any means. Visualization has been a practice used by many cultures for many generations. Olympic athletes are now trained in the art of visualization as a means of gaining a competitive advantage in their chosen sport. Unfortunately, I think the way The Secret portrayed the idea of visualization gave people a skewed perspective of how visualization actually works. Too many people assumed that the simple act of thinking about something would automatically …

Do you inspire trust?
A positive relationship requires mutual trust. Without trust, spouses, diplomats, friends and co-workers, neighbours and others cannot build an enjoyable relationship. Sadly, many people think that they have a great relationship as long as “they can get away with it”, rather than ensuring they are trustworthy. That is called lowest-denominator thinking. I suppose it is survivalist; if surviving is your reason for living, that’s just grand. Children trust their parents just to survive. But what if you want more out of life than just surviving? Many divorces – not all, of course – boil down to one partner or both devaluing trust. War is usually the result of one or more countries or leaders failing to ensure they are …
