Are you a shaman and you don’t know it? As I feel indebted to the shamans who saw themselves in me and helped me understand why I have always felt like I don’t belong in mainstream medicine, the intention of this article is to respectfully honor the shamanic tradition, and not to violate it in any way. Because modern culture doesn’t have a role for the shamanic archetype, many people who grow up outside indigenous villages are shamans and don’t know it. Many naturally wind up in overtly healing professions, such as medicine, psychology, or life coaching. But some wind up in professions where they may feel like they don’t fit in at all. Even those who enter the healing professions may feel out of […] Read More

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how to make community structures work. I’ve been reflecting and meditating on the many possibilities we could create, trying pull together the common limitations and complaints people generally have about our world and how it currently functions, and then find a common thread.
What if you could let go of almost anything you had holding you back? Whether it was emotional pain, past traumas, illness or even physical pain. It’s true and common, sometimes we feel like we are not able to let go of the challenges we face. But today we’re going to talk about what I think is a great solution to apply to these challenges and truly overcome them. We are also going go over an awesome video and give everyone access to The Tapping Solution World Summit! My Experience With Tapping It was March 2014 and I was days away from having to get on a plane to fly to New York City to give my TEDx talk. I was nervous because I wasn’t […] Read More

To demonstrate the true power of our thoughts, let us consider the placebo effect. The Power of Belief and the Placebo Effect The belief that you are getting help, such as a treatment for depression or cancer, can actually cause your condition to improve. It might be easier to see how placebos influence depression with its more direct connection to thoughts, but it is also true that thoughts have an effect on something as concrete as the growth of cancer cells or blood pressure. A review of relevant literature by Straus and von Ammon Cavanaugh (1996) show how placebo effects are widespread, known in medication, psychotherapy and even surgery! Interestingly, it is not only the patient’s but also of the physician’s belief that effects how […] Read More

Although the origin and the causes are unknown, it is doubly as common in females as it is with men. A typical panic-prone person worries a lot, entertains fearful thoughts and emotionally responds to negative images in his mind. He is controlled by negativity instead of being in control of it. There are many cures available for panic attacks, mostly anti-depressants that are chemically formulated. Is there an effective cure that is non-chemical and natural? Well, there is and it is called meditation. Meditation is just putting the body and mind at ease. It involves mental exercise that commonly involves sitting comfortably and quietly […] Read More
By: Eve Hogan A great sage, Swami Prabhavananda, once said, “If the body is thought of as a busy and noisy city, then we can imagine that, in the middle of this city, there is a little shrine. And that, within the shrine our real nature is present. No matter what is going on in the streets outside, we can always enter the shrine and worship. It is always open.” For some of us that shrine looks a cathedral, for others a temple, synagogue, or mosque. For some it will be a sweet place in nature or a labyrinth with a sacred center. As the holy-day season is rapidly upon us, it is a great opportunity to remember to look for the holy in each […] Read More
by Dr. Jeffry R. Palmer Ph.D. Your thoughts are the currencies with which you exchange energy with the universe Do you believe that your thoughts have energy? Do you believe that a place or an object can retain the energy of the people that have come into contact with it? If you have ever entered an old home and sensed the presence of its previous occupants, or held an antique item in your hands and felt the history of it, then you know the answers. Scientists are just beginning to accept the truth about thought energy, and have begun to study what many have known for centuries. In fact some of today’s leading scientists in areas of physics, biology, psychology and many other fields are […] Read More
