Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
I find that we as a society have moved away from celebrating most holidays in a meaningful or spiritual manner. I emphasize taking what I call empty holiday observances and filling them with meaning and spirit. That means getting away from the commercial influences that want us to simply buy something to fulfill whatever obligation [...]
On Monday we celebrate Memorial Day. This holiday started off as a somber day of remembrance, a day where we in America went to cemeteries and placed flags or flowers on the graves of those who died in battle or in some way during the course of war. We remembered our ancestors, family members, loved [...]
Everyone’s talking about U2 front man Bono, who was saved from possible paralysis by emergency back surgery this past Friday. His rehab program requires an eight week recuperation necessitating postponing the North American leg of the band’s U2 360 Tour and canceling next month’s Glastonbury, England, appearance. What happens to you when you have a [...]
I’ve been asking myself the same question over and over again. Sometimes I ask it in different ways. And I keep searching for an answer. I realized yesterday that I keep getting the same answer over and over again, but I don’t ever really “hear” it. Or I don’t quite “get it.” Sometimes we have [...]

Today Jews all over the world celebrate the holiday of Shavuot. On this day, the sixth day of the Hebrew month of Sivan, they commemorate Moses receiving the Ten Commandments. This holiday also is known as the Festival of Weeks named in Exodus 34:22 and Deuteronomy 16:16. Shavuot is celebrated seven weeks and a day [...]
Do you know a few people who really irritate you? Are there people you find it difficult to be around because you get annoyed and angry just by being near them for any length of time? Guess what. You can learn the most about your self from these people. I mentioned in my last post [...]
I try not to become angry but sometimes I do. I used to feel angry quite often. Most of the time, that isn’t the case anymore. I know some people close to me who are angry a lot. I don’t like to be around them much when they are. I’m sure they mirror my own [...]
Lots of experts–including me!–will tell you to think positively and to speak positively to yourself. These are not new ideas. The fact that our thoughts are creative has been around for a long time, as the author of The Secret wanted us to realize, however, it has been no secret. As the Law of Attraction [...]
