Pushing My Way Into a New Year and a New Period in Spiritual History

You are the team leader and your spirit guides offer guidance.

About two years ago I was told by a medium that I had many spirit guides around me. She described them as standing behind me so I couldn’t move backward. That explained the feeling I had at the time of being pushed forward continually. In fact, prior to my 50th birthday I felt an urgency [...]

The Biggest Sin of All: Not Living Up to Your Potential

Have you sinned this year?

As a Jew, I’m now in the midst of Days of Awe, the 10 days between the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah and the Day of Repentance, Yom Kippur. During this time we are supposed to take an accounting of our sins and repent for them. However, I think the biggest sin of all is [...]

Whether we are sports fanatics or not, most of us love to watch the Olympics. We may have our favorite sports, but we may find ourselves watching sports we don’t find quite so interesting as well. For example, I love gymnastics, dressage, tennis and soccer during the summer Olympics as well as volleyball. Yet,I watch [...]

Can You Walk Across Fire?

It's possible to walk on hot coals

If 21 people ended up with burns while doing a Tony Robbins firewalk, does that mean the idea of walking across 2,000 degree coals is bogus? Crazy? Really stupid? Does it mean that it can’t be done safely? Some might say, “Yes.” In fact, attendees of Tony Robbins motivational seminar, “Unleash the Power Within,” a [...]

2012. The world was supposed to end, some said. (We knew better.) But things were supposed to change–the energy was supposed to change, at least.  A whole week has gone by. We are being flooded now with the light of the first full moon of this pivotal year, which is supposed to affect our consciousness [...]

How Does the Past Affect Your Future?

Looking at the past

Have you ever thought about why you are who you are right now, and how you will create who you will be in the future? When I ask most people what makes them who they are right now, they respond, “My past experiences. My education. My environment. My genetics.” These are things that either happened [...]

Find the Strength to Get Up When You Fall

I’ve been working really hard lately to change my negative thoughts into positive ones in a variety of areas in my life. I’m a firm believer in the creative nature of our thoughts and words. Sometimes, however, I need inspiration as well–I need to be reminded that I need to keep persevering even when something [...]

The Worst Pharaoh of Them All–Our Thoughts

Each year during the Passover holiday Jews tell the story of how the Pharaoh in Egypt enslaved the Israelites. Sometimes we talk about what modern day pharaohs exist in the world. I, however, think most of  us live with personal pharaohs every day–those in our minds. I know I struggle with the chains put on [...]

Hillel’s 3 Lessons on How to Live Life

“If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, then what am I? And if not now, when?” ~Rabbi Hillel I went to sleep last night thinking about a friend, not much older than myself, who is facing the last days of his life. I [...]

Are You Feeling Squeezed?

It’s almost Passover, and for me this always makes me feel squeezed. Actually, it just makes me more aware of the areas of my life that give me that sense of the walls closing in or getting tight. You don’t have to be Jewish to understand this even though Passover is a Jewish holiday. Passover [...]
