Mudras for Planning the Future
How many people are afraid of the future, afraid of losing their jobs, of getting old, of all the possible diseases? I once asked a large group about fear of the future.

Everyone agreed at the conclusion—there is hardly a human being who takes a “realistic” look at the future. »

Accessing Your Intuition

The author of Questions for Cupid, Elissa Heyman, talks about getting in touch with your own intuitive wisdom.
Your intuition will tell you intimate and important things nobody else will. It will tell you things your own mind will argue with. But most people are very happy with the results when they do listen to their mysterious, and seemingly illogical and non-rational intuition. Through your intuition, you can know directly. The intuition informs abruptly. In an instant, a person can know something to be true, understand something new. »

How To Determine If Your Therapy Is Working

A Brief Look At Modern Psychotherapy Techniques & How They Can Help

How do you know if your therapy is helping you?

A Journal of Your Own

People have been keeping journals for hundreds of years: records of voyages, stories of life’s milestones, and daily diaries that track events, feelings and an inner life that no one else even suspects. Anais Nin recorded every detail of her affairs from one with Henry Miller to the notorious liaison with Joaquin Nin, her composer father who had abandoned her when she was a child. Virginia Woolf’s diary Moments of Being captured those intense experiences in which we are truly alive. »

Find Your Inner Diva

Every person has a distinct style. What a boring world it would be if everyone were like your mother, the cheerleader from high school, your millionaire uncle or Emily Post. When relatives, friends and coworkers tell you what to think, it is appropriate to thank them for sharing. »

The Power of Now

The Power of Now has been translated into over 33 languages. Oprah Winfrey considers it one of her favorite books. Eckhart Tolle's books, audios and live teachings have reached millions worldwide. Here are quotes from The Power of Now.

"Emotion arises at the place where mind and body meet. It is the body's reaction to your mind — or you might say, a reflection of your mind in the body" »

There Is Only One of You in All Time

The Words of Martha Graham to Agnes De Mille
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening
that is translated through you into action,
and because there is only one of you in all time,
this expression is unique. If you block it,
it will never exist through any other medium
and be lost. »
