It was her second marriage, and naturally she was feeling deeply sad about the breakup. She went on to explain that her second husband and her three sons from her first marriage were having great difficulty getting...

It seems our culture is ridden with negativity from the media, old parental messages, or even advertising that tells us we not good, smart, or fast enough. Even outdated ideas we carry from our own past that we've generated all on our own can derail us off the positive thought track and send us into a fit of negativity. How can we quickly change our energy around and build more confidence and happiness? Recognize non-empowering thoughts If...

Two years ago, I heard about a therapist in Hawaii who cured a complete ward of criminally insane patients--without ever seeing any of them. The psychologist would study an inmate's chart and then look within himself to see how he created that person's illness. As he improved himself, the patient improved. When I first heard this story, I thought it was an urban legend. How could anyone heal anyone else by healing himself? How could even...

With the summer movie season upon us, Hollywood is ready to release this year’s cavalcade of blockbusters. This annual array of high-tech eye candy, full of spectacle and special effects wizardry, will no doubt deliver more than its share of action, thrills, and larger-than-life figures. But while these films may be good examples of facing fears and living heroically—undoubtedly integral concepts for effective conscious creation—they nevertheless may fall short for those seeking more substantive fare....

"We shape our buildings and afterwards, our buildings shape us," said Winston Churchill. The kind of environment we live in has effects on our thinking, behaviorism, and health. A chaotic environment has an adverse effect on physical and emotional state. Just like living with negative people might necessitate repetitive EFT applications, being in a hostile environment, where people's belongings are screaming at them, seems to trigger the negative emotion and behavior which result in fall- backs....

"I see myself cross the finish line before I ever step foot on the racetrack. That's why I keep winning."A line out of a current bestselling book? A quote from a famous athlete?

Surrender with a sense of acceptance not defeat.Acceptance of the inevitable...

One of the cornerstone principles in understanding how conscious creation works is an awareness of the inherent connectedness of all aspects of the realities we each manifest. Each element of existence connects from one to the other, creating an intricate, interwoven web where everything can potentially be affected—either positively or negatively—when even only one of those elements is somehow altered, rearranged or manipulated. This connectedness principle provided the focus of Chapter 8 of my book, Get the Picture: Conscious...

Ever meet someone who is always chipper, always has a kind word to say, can be sick in bed but still wears a smile. Why?

General George Patton strongly believed in ghosts and claims to have received visits by departed loved ones such as his father. As he told his nephew, Fred Ayer, Jr., who wrote Patton’s memoirs Before...

When I was nineteen-years-old, I worked part-time as a respiratory therapist. On one of my first calls to the emergency room, we worked on a five-year-old boy who had been hit by a truck. As we treated him, the story unfolded: he had been walking to his first day of kindergarten and was the only child of young parents. Despite hours of resuscitative care, he died from multiple injuries. In shock, I stumbled out into...

One spring, a small group of Inuit hunters embarked on what was supposed to be a ten-day seal-hunting trip. Many days out in the wilderness, tragedy struck when they hit soft ice. One of the dog teams and a few of the men plunged into the frigid water. One of the men died, and the others, including my friend Ben, were severely frostbitten. It was many days until they were rescued. Ben was a robust man of...
