Experience Everyday Miracles Through Inner Healing - Self-Psychotherapy For The Mind

 Perhaps you did see the welcome signs and you climbed aboard with your heart in what it had to offer you. The self-psychotherapy for the mind of A Course in Miracles has helped me look at the past differently. As you look back on your life you may notice points where you think some groundwork was laid for you, and that you might have missed out. Either way, you are where you are now for a reason that is meant to be. Spiritual growth and inner strength To use myself as an example: What I was truly feeling was not endorsed by much of the world. Not until my early thirties would I be brave enough to begin expressing my attitudes, thoughts, and perceptions, by sharing them only with certain friends. I did not doubt this voice that urged my sprouting thoughts. All my life I had inner feelings and thoughts that in time had convinced me they were spiritual, but also controversial-- beyond the religious dogma I was taught to believe in. I was still uncertain and plagued with questions I c...

Four Things to Consider When Starting a Ministry in Your Local Church

 When you get involved in a new Church, if you feel you are comfortable there and you have benefited from attending, it's not uncommon to have a desire to get involved in serving within some capacity in the church. This may take the form of involving yourself in already established forms of ministry within your church, or it may be that you feel a specific inspiration to start something new. All of us are on earth for a reason, discovering and living out our life purpose is one of the most fulfilling things we will do in life. Often church can be a forum where this is discovered. Below I would like to highlight some key considerations I feel will greatly benefit anyone embarking on involvement in ministry or leadership. Start with WHY? A book I highly recommend is called 'Start with WHY' by Simon Sinek, it conveys the fact that in order for our endeavours to have longevity and real influence, we must 'Start with WHY'. Ask yourself; 'WHY' do I want to get inv...

Had A Miracle In Your Life Today

 Miracles - some people believe in them, others don't and many people never give them a second thought. But I will guarantee during your life today you will experience many of them whether you believe in them or not. Miracle - an event that appears to be contrary to the laws of nature and is regarded as an act of God. Now my definition - things that happen in our lives that we just can't explain or define. -Meeting just the right person at the right time. -80,000 heartbeats a day. -A surprise check in the mail you were not expecting. -45,000 breaths every day. -Friends and family that stand with you during difficult times. -Three trillion chemical reactions in the human body every second - 24/7/365. I could go on for pages but I just want you to consider for a moment that miracles are nothing more than your perspective on life. Sure the sun comes up every day and unless you are on vacation you most likely don't put this daily event in the category of miracles - but consider...

Unrealistic Miracles

 Traditionally, miracles have been thought of as extraordinary events, happenings and healings that produce a sense of awe and wonder. They seem beyond human abilities. In this age of New Thought, miracles can realistically be understood as natural expressions of Unconditional Love. And, the best part is, everyone is capable of being a miracle worker. But, in order to do so, you have to change your mind about what constitutes a miracle. I've always liked the line from A Course in Miracles which says, "The use of miracles as spectacles to induce belief is a misunderstanding of their purpose." A miracle is actually Loving Light traveling outside of time. What the miracle appears like inside of the space-time continuum is not up to you. The form of the miracle will suit the highest good for all--and that may look very different than we might expect. Your sincere intention to recognize your true purpose leads to your miracle-readiness. When you connect this intention with you...

Why Some Christians Choose New Age-Mysticism

 My mother introduced me to the Charismatic Renewal. This was within the Catholic Church and involved what is called the Baptism by the Holy Spirit. People who participated in the Charismatic Renewal often displayed what is known as the Gifts of the Spirit: praying in tongues, the interpretation of tongues, prophecy, releasing of spirits and the healing of the sick. The greatest of these gifts is love. (You can read about this in 1 Corinthians 12-14.) I was actively involved in the Charismatic Renewal for approximately 6 years. It was my introduction to mysticism. I explored mysticism more deeply through what is known as Centering Prayer. In this type of prayer you use a mantra to assist in  the mystical teachings of jesus the mind of all but God. Connecting to God in this manner was powerful. It is what some call "a personal relationship" with God. Before I entered the convent I had the mistaken belief that everyone there had a personal relationship with the divine and knew...

Brazilian Toe Massage - Magical Miracles

 I first learned about energy pathways in the body from my teacher, the late, Lord Pandit Prof. Dr. Sir. Anton Jayasuriya, a small, charismatic man with a passion for teaching and helping everyone. He would tell me stories of how he helped thousands of people at his doctors office located under the trees in his native Colombo, Sri Lanka. Working just one or two pressure points he could create dramatic healing responses. There were always hundreds of people lined up every morning for him to see. People would tell him their problem, and he would spend two or three  libro de un curso de milagros pdf   working specific points. Five minutes was the maximum time he would spend with each patient, as he wanted to see as many people as possible - some had walked for miles to experience his healing hands. I let his passion for healing follow me, and wherever possible I integrated energy and meridian therapy into my practice as a holistic massage therapist and Reflexologist. My cli...
