Published at eSpiritCenter-Tarot & Other Divinatory on October 26, 2004
Oda May Brown isn't the only psychic on the block any more. Neither is the butcher wife or the little boy who sees dead people. Even Steven King has had to share some of the pie when you talk about this topic. What is it? Psychic Phenomena.
In the last thirty years the interest in the paranormal, extrasensory-perception (ESP) and the use of psychic powers has escalated. Beyond your basic Steven King novel, the idea of being psychic or having psychic abilities has penetrated deeply into genre of mainstream television and movies.

Plausible Deniability
Published at eSpiritCenter-Alternative Health on October 19, 2004
The other day my family and I visited my in-laws for the weekend. We had just finished eating breakfast and I began cleaning the kitchen. On the counter by the stove, there was a splattering of grease, which I embarked on wiping up. My mother-in-law told me to "hold on" as she reached under the kitchen sink and pulled out a bottle of "grease away". Within seconds of her spraying it onto the counter, the fumes reached my nose and throat and I started to cough. With eyes half open, I looked at my mother-in-law and announced, "That product is pretty darned toxic". Her response was "but it works good!"

Your Inner Voice
Published at eSpiritCenter-Inspiration on October 12, 2004
Words are thoughts expressed which carry the message of our intentions with them. Our external speech can be thought of as a reflection or external manifestation of our inner programming. The words we use can tell us a lot about how or what we think. Words can be either charged with the positive energy of love, that helps us expand, or they are charged with the energy of fear, that causes us to shrink away from who we truly are. Our words have power, and our speech has the power to set the energy or the directions we choose in our lives.

Published at eSpiritCenter-Motivation & Self-Help on September 14, 2004
Fear is defined as an emotional response to an unknown or impending danger or as an expectation of evil. Fear can create feelings of apprehension, anxiety, alarm, dread, fright or terror. When you are in fear, you are scared of someone, something or a potential outcome. We all experience fear at one point in time or another. Actually fear is a great way to keep us from hurting ourselves. Fear has a limiting effect on our behaviors and ourselves. Fear keeps us from putting our hand on the hot burner of the stove.

Published at eSpiritCenter-Aura, Chakras & Energy Bodies on August 31, 2004

The priests and religious leaders of the era refused to look through the telescope fearing that they would have to acknowledge this new information and be forced to revise their model of the world.

No Nonsense Nutrition
Published at eSpiritCenter-Alternative Health on August 24, 2004
America is considered the land of the plenty. This is especially true when it comes to food. There is no need in this country to stand in line for a loaf of bread. Daily, we eat more than a small bowl of rice and glass of milk. In fact, I remember many a day as a child, if I didn't want to eat my dinner and I was reminded of the starving children in Africa. The thought of being without food is beyond the grasp of many Americans.

Published at eSpiritCenter-Healing on August 19, 2004
During the past 20 years, we have heard a lot about controlling disease through diet, exercise and food supplements, but not much is being said as to how to prevent disease before it occurs.

All of the tissues in our bodies, whether of bone, muscle, gland or organ, have a unique balance of chemical elements that are designed to work in harmony with one another.

Rediscovering Your Multidimensionality
Published at eSpiritCenter-Aura, Chakras & Energy Bodies on August 10, 2004
We are all familiar with the make-up of our bodies on physical levels. We have a heart and lungs, a liver and pancreas, kidneys, muscles and bones. We also have of glands, including our thyroid and pituitary, which secrete hormones and regulate our bodily functions. All in all, it is believed that we are made up no more than a complex series of bio-chemical processes. This view of health, healing and medicine has been around for hundreds of years. It is based upon a Newtonian view of the world, which sees life as a series of intricate mechanisms.

Living in Wholeness
Published at eSpiritCenter-Healing on July 27, 2004
A warm breeze blows across an open field. The tall blades of green grass and brightly colored wildflowers that fill this open space bow their heads gingerly, allowing the heated air to rush by. Then as if orchestrated, these precious gems one by one return to their original position, standing proudly, basking in the afternoon sun. They have returned to their center and are maintaining the delicate balance between their internal needs and the environment. They are living in their wholeness.

The Vortex
Published at eSpiritCenter-Sacred Sites & Travel on July 20, 2004
A few scattered clouds dotted the clear blue sky. The sun, shining its golden rays, played hide and seek with me as it streamed through the dense green foliage that lined the windy two lane road. The temperature was rising steadily as I made my way down the mountain from Flagstaff to Sedona, AZ, on State Route 89A. By 9 am, the thermometer was already reading 83 degrees and I wondered what it would it be like when the heat of the day reached its peak. I was relieved to know that God created air conditioning and that I was fortunate enough to have this wonderful creation in my car.

Published at eSpiritCenter-Tarot & Other Divinatory on July 13, 2004
Everyone has psychic abilities. We all have psychic experiences daily. Being psychic is not about having some "woo-woo" abilities that one can only be born with.

There are many myths that surround our abilities to utilize our own psychic information. Many people feel and acknowledge that they have intuitive abilities.

An Energetic Look At Fibromyalgia
Published at eSpiritCenter-Aura, Chakras&Energy Bodies on July 6, 2004
My dad has high blood pressure. He has gotten more refunds, discounts and free stuff than anyone I know. He will haggle about the cost of an item or the quality of services rendered. He is also not put off by taking someone to court if he feels he has been swindled in any way. I kid with him, calling him a professional complainer. To him, however, he sees it as kind of a hobby. What he doesn't see, is the relationship between his actions and his high blood pressure.

The Energetic Patterns of Dis-ease
Published at eSpiritCenter-Aura, Chakras&Energy Bodies on July 2, 2004
Disease, when looked at intuitively, takes on very specific shapes and sizes in the muscles, glands and organs of the physical and energetic body. Although diseases can be classified as being similar, or under the same "umbrella", they carry very distinct energetic patterns that are instantly discernible to a keen observer. Multiple Sclerosis (MS), for example has been medically diagnosed as a neurological disorder.

The Passing
Published at eSpiritCenter-Journeys Into The Light on June 25, 2004
It was December 30, and just two days after the big snow storm that blanketed the entire Pacific Northwest. I found myself sitting quietly in front of my computer catching up on the never ending pile of work that lay waiting before me. In the midst of my work, I heard a loud noise coming from the street, looked up from my computer and saw a fire truck driving down the quiet little dead end street and into the cul-de-sac at the end.

Making Miracles
Published at eSpiritCenter-Motivation & Self-Help on June 18, 2004
In the Bible, there are many recorded instances of miracles occurring. In the old testament, Moses is said to have brought plagues of frogs and locusts upon the Egyptians, parted the Red Sea, and rained "manna" from the sky. Likewise, in the New Testament, Jesus said is to have turned water into wine, healed the sick and infirm, and brought Lazarus back from the dead. These stories may seem incredible, exceptional, and stupendous to us.

Energy - The River of Life
Published at eSpiritCenter-Healing on June 11, 2004
We are each filled with universal life force energy. It is the essence of our being, our consciousness, our soul. As the flow of life force energy moves through the physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies, it can become imbalanced, stagnant, or blocked. We experience what is called dis-ease. Disease, as the term suggests, is lack of ease. It is the inability of one's life force energy to flow freely.
