"True
Balance - A Common Sense Guide for Renewing Your Spirit"
-
By Sonia Choquette
With today's busy lifestyle, the need to balance demands
on our time and energy has never been more vital. Sonia Choquette
offers accessible, easy-to-follow remedies for anyone who feels
overscheduled, overworked, and overwhelmed. She explains the idea
of balance in terms of seven chakras, the energy centers of the
body that affects our sense of physical and psychic well-being.
Where there is balance in and among our energy centers, we
experience our lives as rich and satisfying; imbalance in any
one of them will create discord and unhappiness. True Balance
explores the influences these energy centers have on our
foundation, vitality, emotion, will, expression, clarity,
and spirit.
"How
Much Joy Can You Stand - A Creative Guide to Facing
Your Fears and Making Your Dreams Come True"
By Suzanne Falter-Barns
A little book of wisdom for how to get started when they can't
get going and how to keep going when they get bogged down,
"How Much Joy Can You Stand?" teaches readers how to make
the
things they really want to happen. Discover how to ignite the
fire in your belly and get your creative juices flowing; when
to run from helpful advice; whether talent really matters; and
how to stick with your work even in the face of couch-potato
attacks and complete creative meltdown. Hands-on exercises
follow each short, pungent chapter to put you back on track
toward achieving your goals--and realizing your dreams!
"Signals
- An Inspiring Story of Life After Life"
By Joel Rothschild
The AIDS pandemic was over 12 years old in 1994. AIDS was the
leading killer of men between the ages of 25 and 40 and hundreds
of thousands of people had already died from this disease. Nowhere
was the devastation more horrid than amongst urban Gay communities.
Tragically it enveloped the lives of 2 best friends living in
Los Angeles. Having AIDS they feared their emanate deaths so they
made a pact. They vowed if there was a possibility to contact the
other after death they promised to try. Skeptic Joel Rothschild
was the one left behind. "Signals" chronicles a series of
miraculous
experiences and coincidences that offer proof of an afterlife.
His cynicism fading and his health improved he is now one of our
nations longest living AIDS survivors. His book is an engaging
true story of love, hope and healing. This gripping read unfolds
during his life and death struggle. It will take you an adventure
you will never forget and ultimately close the gulf in your very
understanding of life and death. Author Carolyn Myss has called
it a Masterpiece.

^^ TRAINING OF THE IMAGINATIVE MIND ^^
PART 2 - YOU ARE A GENIUS
Let us take a closer look at our way of
thinking:
There is the one hemisphere of our brain that thinks in terms
of words and logical relationships (the left hemisphere). Now
we do not want to belittle the importance of logic, but the
problem for most of us is that we rely too much or even
solely on our logic and on input from the right hemisphere
of our brain. Our logic mind believes it is always right.
Our right brain, on the other hand is not as half
as judgmental as the left brain, and has a very different
approach. It thinks in images and is our visual memory storage.
Here you have a place of vast and beautiful possibilities,
because the visual memory knows no boundaries.
Our visual memory is also the source of our of creativity,
and this is true also for people who live mostly in a world
of abstraction and logic. Research has shown that even
mathematicians do not think in numbers and words, but in
images and movements, which are translated into formulas
and numbers and a later stage.
We should therefore rely on our images and visual impressions,
while at the same time granting our logical mind its due
space.
In order to awaken the genius within you, it is important
to synchronize the left and the right hemispheres of your
brain.
The following exercise will help you to do this:
** Sit down quietly and close your eyes
** Listen to a tape you have previously recorded. In the
recording, slowly mention various words and
situations, and while listening to the tape,
imagine these words separately in either the left or
the right hemisphere of your brain.
For example: on the left a flower, on the right a
tree, on the left a baby, on the right an old
lady.
It is important to visualize the images simultaneously,
not one after the other.
** Listen to the tape again and switch the imagines,
for example if you associated the flower with the
left hemisphere before, image it on the right side
this time.
Each of us has his or her preferred brain hemisphere that
is used most of time, simply out of habit. In our Western
world, this is mostly the left brain hemisphere. Therefore
it is all the more important to develop and train the
right brain, and to open up to creativity.
Let us now continue with our visualization exercises.
(To re-read the exercises introduced in our August "Light
Letter", please visit http://www.aumara.com/newsletterAug00.html")
If you feel confident in your ability to see images, it
is time for the next step:
** Bring up in your mind a wish or dream you have which
has not yet come true in your life
** Imagine yourself explaining your wish to someone who
does not know anything about in IMAGES ONLY (similar to
a silent film)
** You are now your own director and actor, shooting
this film. Try not to make it too long - two to
four descriptive images or scenes are sufficient.
** It is helpful to write down the 'stage directions',
so to speak, and read them often.
** Replay your film in your mind as often as possible.
The results will not fail to show.
^^ DEVELOP YOUR INTUITION ^^
PART 1
Albert Einstein admitted that an important factor in his
work on the theory of relativity was intuition.
Intuition is an inner voice, an inspiration, a teaching from
your own inner wisdom. Each person is intuitive. Some of us
are more attuned to their inner voice while in others it is
dormant. To hear this voice you have to be in a peaceful
and calm state of mind. Learn to trust your inner voice
despite what others are saying.
Intuition solves problems and find solutions to complicated
situations, and opens many doors for you. Therefore, you
cannot overestimate the power of intuition. It is a tool not
to be neglected on your spiritual journey. Believe in the fact
that you are an intuitive person and confirm it to yourself
often by saying: "I am intuitive".
The following is an exercise for developing your intuition:
** Sit or lie down and enter a relaxed state. Allow yourself
some time to feel totally relaxed before you proceed to
the
next step.
** Now imagine that you are making friends with someone you like.
Maybe you smile at each other, embrace each other, or
exchange ideas. It is not important what you do, but how
you express your feeling of friendship.
** Now choose where you feel your subconscious in your body.
Is it in your head or in your heart? Or your solar plexus
or in your belly? Make your choice spontaneously, without
letting your logical mind interfere.
** Imagine that your subconscious that you have just located
somewhere in your body has a form. How does it look like?
Is it a deep sea, a fountain, a fire ball? Or maybe a
heart?
** When you have found the image of your subconscious - again
without letting the logical mind interfere - start making
friends with your subconscious. You may want to tell it
that you honor and admire its abilities. You may want to
request it to help you with its intuitive qualities. Be
open and honest during this ceremony of friendship.
** Conclude by thanking your subconscious and by knowing that
you are on good terms with one of the most important
friends in your life.
This exercise has a tremendous effect, and many times your
subconscious will reward you with a valuable intuitive
insight the same day. But intuition is more than introspection.
Intuition is a channel through which you will connect to
ideas and insights outside of yourself. Intuition helps you
to connect to cosmic knowledge and insight.
We tend to believe that our personality ego is separated
from the world "out there", but we already know that this
is an illusion, and than in reality everything is connected.
God or the Divine Knowledge is not "out there", but within
ourselves. Scientific research has shown that man is made
from the same material like stars, meaning we are all
stardust. The purpose of our life on earth is KNOW that
we are connected to the Divine, despite the illusion of
separation. Intuition is the connecting channel between
the individual and the cosmic knowledge. When you open
yourself to intuitive knowledge, you have found the
way both to your inner self and to the endless
possibilities of the universal mind.
We will continue to work on developing our intuition
in our next newsletter.
^^^ LET'S BE INSPIRED - OUR WEEKLY INSPIRATION ^^^
We know truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart,
and it is in this last way that we know first principles;
and reason, which has no part in it, tries in vain to impugn them.
The skeptics, who have only this for their object, labor to
no purpose. We know that we do not dream, and, however
impossible it is for us to prove it by reason, this inability
demonstrates only the weakness of our reason, but not, as
they affirm, the uncertainty of all our knowledge
For the knowledge of first principles, as space, time,
emotion, numbers, is as sure as any of those which we get
from reasoning. And reason must trust these intuitions of the
heart, and must base them on every argument.
We have intuitive knowledge of the tri-dimensional nature
of space and of the infinity of number, and reason then shows
that there are no two square numbers one of which is double
of the other.
Principles are intuited, propositions are inferred, all with
certainty, though in different ways. And it is useless and
absurd for reason to demand from the heart proofs of her first
principles, before admitting them, as it would be for the heart
to demand from reason an intuition of all demonstrated
propositions before accepting them.
This inability ought, then, to serve only to humble reason,
which would judge all, but not to impugn our certainty, as if
only reason were capable of instructing us. Would to God,
on the contrary, that we had never need of it, and that we
knew everything by instinct and intuition! But nature has
refused us this boon. On the contrary, she has given us but
very little knowledge of this kind; and all the rest can be
acquired only by reasoning.
Therefore, those to whom God has imparted religion by
intuition are very fortunate and justly convinced. But to
those who do not have it, we can give it only by reasoning,
waiting for God to give them spiritual insight, without which
faith is only human and useless for salvation.
